delicate and insidious, and it is we'll
for us to examine it coolly. The New
Republic puts it sharply away. In
point of fact Mr.. Lincoln was super
ficially man of the people, and funda-
mentally a unique, distinguished and
wholly exceptional individual. In GER
tain salient respects he was the least
typical of Americans. Americans, par
ticularly those of Lincolns own gener-
alton and neighbOrhoOd, were essen
TALLY active, aggressive and objective
men, whose lives were given over to
practical external affairs, who sub
ordinated everything else to the de-
mands of practical achievement, and
whose individuality consisted in living
ordinary lives in an extraordinarily
energetic manner. They were super
fetal, discursive, easy-going, quarrel
some, and wholly incapable of prepar-
ing in advance for any task or respon-
sibility. In all these respects Lincoln
differed from his fellow countrymen,
and upon these differences his emf
nence depends He was not particu-
1d1 ~ oIAO1I1OOOs C5SA VI ~ dSCA
cal. In spite of his lively social feel
ings, he lived a contemplative life, in
which the intellectual interest OBJ
tanned full expression and which at
tanned high degree of internal con-
centration. He fought hard and well,
but he never quarreled. During his
formative years he quietly but unos-
tentatiously prepared himself for great
enterprises. He trained his mind be-
cause he enjoyed hard intellectual ex-
ertion. His style shaped itself under
the influence Of the Bible and Shake
speare Thus at a period and in
country favorable to the cheap per-
Torrance and the easy victory, Mr..
Lincoln tempered his reason and his
spirit for great performance and
costly victory. Was there anything
typically American about that?"
Ideas Worth Consideration.
This is refreshing variation from
the canned eloquence" of the Lincoln
day utterance, and it will repay con-
sideration and emphasis, since we are

very like our fOrbears as to just the
defects the New Republic here pun
gently outlines. If we thought more
of Lincoln's extraordinary disinterest
edness, of his heroic patience, of his
deeply brooding spirit, and less OF
those qualities with which we estab
lish all too readily a rough resem
blance to our daily selves, we might
get a wholesome and much-needed re
action from our rafting, self-satisfied
and shallow life without losing our
sense of his reality as a human being
having human weaknesses. Especially
keen is the thrust delivered at our
tendency to "the cheap performance
and the easy victory" and it's contrast
with Lincoln's tempting reason and
spirit "for a great performance and
a costly victory.
No great victory was ever pur
chased cheaply. It has always beer
paid for in long and costly though
often unconscious preparation. OuI
national optimism, our Impotence and
superfciality obscure that truth
AS Typical American.
But, after all, in the legend we are
making of Lincoln as typical Ameri
can there is an instinct and truth
that are not superficial. All legend
making is a profound process of ma
tional self-realization, an intuitive in.
carnation of national ideals, and in the
case of Lincoln it is based upon the
sincere, the religious democracy OF
this great man. The high distinction
of mind, as shown, for example, in the
prose of the Gettysburg Grafton, the
moral nobility, the interpretive aloof
ness which were an essential part OF
him, only accentuate for us the warm
nearness of his nature to the common
man and the common life Lincoln
himself held to the mystical concep.
ton of democracy which Whitman ex.
pressed in his poetry and which is the
dream in the heart of Americanism.
The essential brotherhood of man
was an intimate and glowing reality to
Lincoln, not lofty abstraction, and
though we betray it and misread it we
must cling to it if we are to save the
national soul.
Idealizing ourselves through Lincoln
is more than self-fattery. 1t is a crude
but not ignoble effort to express the
deepest and most pervasive element OF
American idealism.

TELL SLEEPS AGE BY TEETH
When Purchasing an Animal One
Should See to 1t That None of
MoIars Are Missing.

A lamb has eight small first-teeth
on the lower jaw. When the animal
reaches the age Of about one year, the
middle pair are replaced by two per-
manent teeth, at the age Of about
two the teeth on either side of these
permanent teeth are also replaced
with a permanent pair; at the age of
three the next tooth on either side
gives way to a permanent tooth; and
at about the age of four, the last or
back teeth are replaced in like man
ner.
Briefly, then, a sheep with one
pair of permanent teeth is a yearling;
sheep with two pairs is a two-year
old: with three pairs, three-year
odl; and with four pairs, a four-year
old
After a sheep is four years old, one
cannot tell by the teeth about the
age. However, one who is purchasing
a sheep should see to it that it has
not lost any teeth, or that the teeth
have not become long and shoe-peggy
in appearance.

KIDNEY TROUBLE
NOT RECOGNIZED

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, IN
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so com
mon to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose appllca-
tions are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
According to this it would seem that
medicine for the kidneys, possessing real
healing and curative properties, would be
a blessing to thousands.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the well
known kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
is remarkably successful in sickness caused
by kidney and bladder troubles. 1t is mild
and gentle in its action and it's healing in
huence is soon noticed in most cases.
There is no other remedy like Swamp
Root 1t will surely and effectively over
come kidney, liver and bladder troubles
and you can depend upon it. Go to any
drug store and get a bottle 50 as to start
treatment today. You will soon see
marked improvement.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.

LINCOLN, MAN
OF THE PEOPLE
Many Reasons Why He Has Just
" Been Given the Title of
Typical American.
Firm Believer Always in the Concep-
ton of Democracy Which Is the
Foundation of Our Nation-His
Many High Qualities Worthy
Of Emulation.

TO save Abraham Lincoln from
deathly apotheOsis of the steel
engraving has been a laudable
effort OF recent years. OF course
it will not prevent the process of leg
end making which works upon the
earthly reality of every great man, and
in due time leaves MIN a desiccated
abstraction existing for the heavy
boredom of childhood. Even Lincoln,
with his vital, homely outlines, his
intimate, endearing faults, and strong
flavor of his day, must come to this
turn. But the process may be retard-
ed and ought to be as long as we can
contrive.
One hundred and seven years ago
Lincoln was born. Fifty-one years ago
he was shot by John Wilkes Booth,
and on the next day he died, the first
"martyred president" A great wave
of passionate sorrow, gratitude and af-
lection swept the North. The process
of apotheosis began. Today it may be
observed in the sanctifed generalities
of Lincoln orations, editorials, poems
and articles.
Moved by FIattery.
The central idea of the overwhelm-
ing majority of these tributes is Lin
coin, the man of the people, the typi-
cal American. Year after year on
February II and frequently through
out the year we hear this confident
summary and without examining it. Is
this mental inertia or are we uncon-
sciously moved by the fattery implicit
in this idea? An editorial in the New
Republic suggests the latter. The real
purpose of Lincoln-day speakers is not
so much to eulogize Lincoln, this jour-
nal declares, as to fiatter the audience
IF Mr.. Lincoln was so entirely man
of the people, the people must be very
like to Lincoln"

GOOD REASON FOR STOPPING
Youthful Angler Not Out of Patience
But Of Something That Was
Quite as important.

The old man was an enthusiastic
fisherman To him there was no sport
like sitting dangling bit of string at
the end of a pole. He set off in pur-
suit of this hobby one afternoon, and,
just before reaching the river, met a
lad coming back, his fishing-rod hang
ing Imply over his shoulder
What's this, sonny?" exclaimed the
man, in good-natured reproof Surely
you are not giving up so soon? The
fishing will be better still in an hour
or two
Il know" replied the lad, sorrow
fully but I'm going home for all
that"
You're quickly tired" scoffed the
older angler. Next time you come
out, bring more patience with you"

FARM
ANIMALS
AVOID SPREAD OF INFECTION
Thorough Distinction Is Essential to
and Efficient in Preventing
Contagion.

In any outbreak Of infectious dis
ease among animals thorough disin-
lection of the premises is essential to
preventing the spread of the conta.
gion. Certain substances, such as
fresh slaked lime or unslaked lime in
powder form, chloride of lime, car.
bolic acid, corrosive sublimate, for
malin, formaldehyde gas, and COM
pound solution of cresol possess the
power of destroying bacteria with
which they come in contact. To make
the use of such substances of value,
The utmost thoroughness.
In the disinfection of stables and
premises the following directions
should be carefully observed:
1. Sweep ceilings, side walls, stall
partitions, floors, and other surfaces
until free from cobwebs and dust.
2. Remove all accumulations of
filth by scraping, and if woodwork has
become decayed, porous, or absorbent,
it should be removed, burned, and re-
placed with new material.
3. If the floor is of earth, remove
inches from the surface, and in
places where it shows staining with
urine a sufficient depth should be re-
placed to expose fresh earth.
4. All refuse and material from sta
bic and barnyard should be removed
to place not accessible to slaked
lime.
5. The entire interior of the stable,
especially the feeding troughs and
drains, should be saturated with a dis
infectant, as per cent solution Of
compound solution of cresol Gu. S. P) /,
which would be four ounces of the
compound to every gallon of water.
The BEST method Of applying the dis
infectant is by means Of a strong
spray pump, such as those used by
Orchardsists.
This method is efficient in disin-
lection against most of the conta-
gious and infectious diseases of ami
mails, and should be applied immedi-
ately following any outbreak, and, as
a matter of precaution, it may be used
once or twice yearly.

FOOD FACTS
What an M. D. Learned.

A prominent physician down in
Georgia went through a food expert
ence which he makes public:
1t was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food;
and l also know from having pre-
scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients that this food is a won
derful rebuilder and restorer of nerve
and brain tissue, as we'll as muscle. 1t
improves the digestion and patients
gain. just as l did in strength and
weight, very rapidly.
Il was in such a low state that
| had to give up my work entirely and
go to the mountains, but two months
there did not improve me; in fact l
was not quite as we'll as when | left
home. My food did not sustain me
and it became plain that I must
change.
Il began to use Grape-Nuts and in
two weeks l could walk mile, and in
five weeks returned to my home and
practice, taking up hard work again.
Since that time have felt as well and
strong as l ever did in my life.
AS physician who seeks to help
all sufferers l consider it duty to
make these facts public"

and thousand years from now hi
fame will be immensely vaster than
it is at the preesnt time. No man in

to his tremendous responsibilities. 1t
