Wisdom drips from youthful lips
now and then. He is q rare father
who has not felt parental pride rise
as his children fresh from school daily
pour out bubbling stream of knowl-
edge newly acquired. More frequent.
ly, perhaps, he is embarrassed by
questions which perplex if they do not
annoy, for the passing years weave
cobwebs around the textbook knowl
edge of the provider. If father is
shamed by the children's quicker per-
ception, much greater must be the hui
initiation of the dear teacher who is
stumped to silence by pupils pene-
trating philosophy. A California youth
of twelve objected to the study of
geography, boldly telling his teacher
that it was waste of time, says
Omaha Bee. "What's the USE" he
said, "of studying the map Of Europe
when nobody knows what it will look
like after the WARP" The teacher could
not answer, nor seek the answer In the
stars. Prophets and seers read the
signs and remain mute. Map makers
Idly view the progress of the war and
may not venture a guess how the new
map will look by and by. The far
flung battle line meanders from Cen
trail Africa to Persia, from Egypt to
Dobrudja, from Salonilki to the Somme.
The Alps and the Carpathians echo the
thunders of artillery, and half dozen
seas are freghted with battleships eag-
er to revise the map. While these
agencies of destruction are working
overtime what's the use of studying
the geography of Europe.

eases put together, and for years it
was supposed to be incurable. Doc

Catarrh is local disease, greatly in
fluenced by constitutional conditions
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Medicine,

A Symbol of Health.

The Pythagorians of Ancient Greece
ate simple food, practiced temperance
and purity. AS badge they used the
five pointed star which they regarded
as symbol of health. A red five
pointed star appears ON each package
of Chamberlain's Tablets, and still full
fills its ancient mission as symbol of
health. If you are troubled with in
digestion, biliousness or constipation,
get package of these tablets from
your druggist. You will be surprised
at the quick relief which they afford.
Obtainable everywhere.

In these days when every citizen
is urged by the government to
plant more garden and produce
more food stuff, it might be well
for the government to lend a hand
in the work by compelling all able
bodied men who are touring the
country as hobos to go to work.
Also while we are seeking men to
fight in the foreign trenches would
it not be a good plan to turn out
all short time prisoners now i'll the
state institutions and compel them
to take up arms and fight for the
freedom they desire. A chance
for the average criminal to prove
himself worth while would be
gladly accepted by thousands now
doing service and for whom the
state is compelled to provide care.
1t would also be one of the best op-
portunities for those who really
have any character to brace up and
make new start in life, which is
so seldom possible for the average
person who has once been branded
a criminal.

MIR. and Mrs. P. M. Hellfrisch
celebrated their golden wedding on
Thursday last.

Mrs. Geo. Shoemaker of Ma
poleon, o., was a guest last week

Mrs. j. W. Marshal of Toledo
was the guest of her son and his
family in Perrysburg Wednesday.
Another flock of Fords flew
into VIM. Schlect's Sales Room on
Tuesday. Mr.. Schlect was in De-
troit Monday to order them and
had them shipped by boat to Toll
edo. He is having a hard time
getting enough cars to supply his
trade.
The Journal man received
call from an old friend and former
Perrysburg boy-Mr. Silas Calvin
on Friday last. At present he is
residing in Toledo resting after a
hard campaign in Alabama, where
he has been transferring the for
ests into slaves and heading. 1t
was way back 40 years ago that
Silas was a barefooted, poorly clad
youngster working in the stave
factories here. He started out to
make his own way in the world
when only 15 years old with a pair
of willing hands, stout heart and
$1.25 as his capital. That he sue
ceeded is very gratifying not only
to himself, but to those of his
friends who knew his early strug-
giles and the big handicap that was
his to overcome. Honesty, sobriety
and a determination to do well
whatever he had to do were the
steps that led to his splendid sue
cess.
Wednesday, May I'd, is day
that will live long in the memory

Mr.. Main, which made the event
more joyful. Two of his children,

REMEDY FOR WoRMY HORSES
Mixture Of Nux Vomica, Genetlan Root,
Areca Nut, Salt and Arsenious
Acid, Is Good.

Worms in horses and colts are SO
common that if they do not thrive it
is good plan to give worm remedy
of some kind. A good mixture to use
is: Two ounces of powdered nux
vOmica four ounces of powdered gem
tian root; six ounces of powdered ar
eca nut; four ounces Of common salt.
and two drachms of arsenious acid.
Mix them thoroughly. Give he6ping
teaspoonful to every $50 pounds of live
weight of horse morning and evening
for about ten days. The medicine may
be mixed with ground feed or sprinkled
over dampened oats or corn.
Little or no bulky feed should be
given the horse during the treatment.
If too much feed is given the medi-
cine is not strong enough to stupify
the worms and cause them to loosen
their attachments to the Innings Of the
digestive tract. Also, the bowels
should be kept open SO that the worms
will be passed before they recover
from the effects of the medicine. A.
well-salted bran mash will generally
insure such action.
