THE FIRST DAY OFF TO SCHOOL

His mother gave his hair a pat and
put his hat on straight,
And tucked his satchel in his arm
and said to hold it tight;
Then, while the other children waited
for him at the gate,
She kissed him, and we let him 60,
our eyes with pride alight-
Away to school, away to school! Our
little baby boy.
That's never been away from US
three hours before to school!
We stood and watched him out Of
sight, and smiled, but not with
joy;
His mother cried little bit-and I
grinned like fool.
For, oh, there is so much to learn, so
much we grieve must be,
So much of sweet and sorrow, and
so much of right and wrong;
We yearn to keep him sheltered, but
we sadly know that he
Must learn to vie with others or he
never can grow strong
Must learn the thousand lessons
which the teachers never teach,
Must learn the elemental laws the
elemental way;
All, yes, we know it's best for him,
yet aching arms we reach
And wish we had our baby back,
the one we lost today.

Journal.

Light energy increases the oxidiz-
ing power in the living organism.
The Light Bath therefore is the
most effective sweat bath we know.
Radical cure against rheumatism
and all blood diseases.
Light Baths will sure relieve pain,
and have valuable effect on the It's
sue cells.
1t increases oxidation, also the
quality of the red blood corpuscles.
Light will stimulate the organs to
perform their natural functions in q
normal manner.
Since all repairs are made through
the blood current, any agency that
will effect the circulation is of thero-
peutic value.
There is no more potent agency
than light and heat capable of aiding

Mercedes, Tex, Sept. 12.-There is
'last day of SCHOOL, feeling in the
air. On every side you hear officers
say: "I believe Oct. Cor maybe they
say Oct. 15) will see the state guards
home." Perhaps it was the departure
of Illinois and New York troops. Per-
haps there is a leakage from really
authoritative source at Washington.
Official, semi-ofticial or rumor, the de-
parture story has affected almost
everyone. In the woods near Merce-
des Sunday were dozens Of soldiers
digging up cactus plants and palms
to take home to their families, fear
ing it might be the last Sunday of
leisure they would have on the bor-
der.
Perhaps, in the North Dakota regi-
ment, the departure Of several officers
has set the men thinking more strong
ly of home. Major Hanley, is autoing
toward Mandan, having resigned in
order to give his full time to the race
for district Judge. Captain McLach-
Ian left earlier in the week and Col.
Frame went to Des Moines on twelve
days furlough to attend an important
business meeting.
With Major Hanley went his son,
Jimmy" Hanley, pet of the First
regiment and it's mascot, who has en-
joyed every hour of his stay on the
border, and who left as brown as a
berry. Major Hanley and his son took
train to San Antonio, Orderly Ans
Gimbel of Minot driving the car to
that city. Major Hanley started his
long auto journey home to Mandan at
the historic Alamo.
