BOYS WIN THE WARS

According to a message from Lon

pean war threatens to become a strug-
gle between mere boys. The pace is
said to be entirely too fast for the
older men long to endure. General
Haig of the British army objects to
the sending out of men of middle age,
preferring young fellows between
the ages of sixteen and twenty-three,
After the latter year the fighting

PEOPLE ONE DOESN'T ENVY

Some men do nothing but get a
living-they never have time to spend
it. At the same time they do not en-
JOY getting it. Someone is always
trying to cheat them, Illustrate their
pet schemes, or take their jobs away
from them. They are never so sue
cessful that they do not long for more
success. They take their troubles
home with them, eat their meals with
them, sleep with them, and color their
whole existence with them. Often
such men are held up as models for
the young, and often they do a great
deal of good, but there are plenty of
people in the cemeteries who have
more fun-San Francisco Bulletin.

WORRY is A DISEASE

The disorder which causes it's victims
to worry whether they have anything
to worry about or not is neurasthenia,
Neurasthenia is entirely distinct from
hysteria although the patient may have
both diseases at the same time.
Neurasthenia often results from some
nervous shock, such as the loss of a
near relative, business reverses, or some
severe overstrain on the nervous svs-
tenn. The patient is usually pale, show
ing that the blood is thin, and the first
thing to do is to build up the blood be-
cause anything that builds up the gen.
eral health helps to correct the neu-
rasthenic condition. Rest and a good
tonic is the very best treatment in most
cases.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are an ideal
tonic for this condition because thew
are non-alcholic and neurasthenic patti.
ents should avoid alcoholic stimulants.
The DR.. Williams Medicine Company.
Schenectady, N. Y, has published q
little book on nervous disorders that
contains chapter on neurasthenia, in
which the symptoms are fully described
and the correct treatment given. The
booklet is free on request.

trated at a hotel at our neighboring
city of Sparta, recently when a group
of fine young men from Baraboo
stopped there on their way to attend
high-school football match. There
were sixteen in the group, quiet, or
derby young men, full of enthusiasm,
but we'll behaved4 There was no
loud talking, no boisterous spirit, no
disregard for the rights of others, but
simply quiet, unassuming manners
and modest demeanor, sometimes
lacking when young people are out on
iaunt. AS they left the hotel to
go to their train, one travelling man
in the lobby remarked to another that
they were the most orderly and best
behaved football crowd he had ever
seen. eyes," remarked the other,
'they are from BarabOo-1t is that
kind of a town" A small matter, of
course, and only brief incident, but
Baraboo got bit of fine advertising
from it. There are many such young
people in every good town, and per-
haps their good conduct may often
times pass unnoticed, but when it is
noticed, however, it counts much for
the town they hail from as well as
for themselves"
Mr.. Hull has the right idea. 1t pays
to behave well, not only when away
from home, but at all times.

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO READ?

There are numerous ways to read a
book. One is just to find out what
becomes of the hero, and how the
story comes out. The other is to get
all of the story, but, in addition to
appreciate how the author tells it;
to enjoy the characters he has Gre
folks; to appreciate the excellence of
ated; to learn from it things the au-
thor has observed of life and of
a sentence upon which the author may
have spent a days work; to enjoy,
as one does music, the sound Of the
words as the author has skilfully ar
ranged them. The first way gives you
your moneys worth; but the second
way pays you big profit on your in
vestment.-Americ Boy.

The American Revolution ended
1873 years ago. Astonishing as it may
seem, one of the leading lawyers of
Madison is a son of a general who
fought throughout the Revolution to
win our independence from Great Brit
ain. William A. P. Morris, a literal
''sOn of the Revolution" comes of
distinguished lineage Among his an
cestors are numbered royal govern
Ors and colonial judges. His grand
father, Lewis Morris, was a signer of
the Declaration Of Independence His
father, General Jacob Morris, friend
of Washington and Of Lee, aided in
the defense of Fort Moultrie in Its
and fought at Monmouth few years
later. The Madison lawyer is the son
if a second marriage of the general
who was seventy-six years of age at
the time of his birth. Although in his
eighty-fourth year his intellectual
power is undimmed and he continues
one of the ablest members of the Mad
ison bar. In his home are many me-
mentoes from the period, now a cen
fury and a third removed from us,
when his father fought for American
independence.

WHY SHE SANG THE HYMN

MUST BE KEPT IN MOTION
Railroad Cars We're Never intended
for Storage Houses or for
Inaction.

Railroad cars were not intended fol-
storage houses, the Philadelphia Ledg
er observes. They should not be used
for that purpose. Because here and
there some shipper is willing to &C
on paying his demurrage charges rath.
er than go to the expense of unload.
ing his cars he should not have the
power to do so. Freight cars were
built to haul commodities and not for
vehicles in which to store cOmmod
tiles at some terminal point for the
convenience of shipper, railroad OF
consignee. A railroad is of use only
when it can transport people and
freight. Therefore, any system which
will permit the deliberate blockading
of tracks, junction points, docks and
terminals ought to be put under Legal
ban.
The interstate commerce commits
sion should be endowed with a few
extra powers. One would be to com.
pei shippers to unload their cars after
a certain time, irrespective of demur
rage, because demurrage does not
compensate either the railroad or the
wider public when traffic is suspended
by embargoes. A second power should
pertain to the railroads and enable
the interstate commerce commission
to make them keep their cars in mo
ton. The present situation is an alb
surdity. On the one hand, spectators
and shippers can by the payment OF
demurrages, delay indefinitely the I'M
loading of cars at terminal points. On
the other hand, the railroads can Their
declare an embargo against all other
shippers to that point.
Put in nutshell, the interstate com
MERGE commission should enforce the
rule that railroad equipment cannot
be used for storage purposes.

REQUIRED FOUR CARS
BIG GIRDER MADE SERIOUS DE-
MAND ON RAILROAD.
Resources of the Rolling Stock of
Great Line Taxed to Transport
Mass of Steel From the
Foundry to City.

A steel girder of such length that
it was necessary to use four steel flat
cars in shipping it was recently sent
from the shops at Steelton, Pa, to
Chicago, where it is to be used in a
railroad bridge spanning a railroad
and a street. This girder is 131 feet
8 inches long and 10 feet G inches
high, and weighs SO tons. The angles
placed in the corners at the junction
of the web and flanges form one of
the unusual features of the girder.
The legs of these angles are inches
wide and rs inches thick, and each
is made of one piece running the full
length of the girder. They are said
to be the longest angles of this size
ever rolled. Particular attention was
given in the shop to seeing that the
girder was built with the right end
forward so that it could be loaded,
shipped and used in the bridge with
out confusion.-Popular Mechanics

Soldier With MANY Wounds.

Thus far manned French soldiers
have been able to resume their occupa-

had been anticipated. One instance of
the adaptability of these mutilated men
is the case of Private Schiller, who suf-
fered So wounds and who had his right
arm amputated. He has resumed
clerical work and in three months
time has learned to write a fine cop
per-plate page with his left hand.
Minister of Labor Metin has in
structed the official employment agen-
cies not only to accept and act imme-
diately upon all manned soldiers ap-
plications for employment, but to pro-
woke applications from such men by
all proper means of publicity.
