Hep! Hep! Hep!

These are good days to walk.
When you're finished working in the
garden, don't stagger into an easy chair.
Throw back your shoulders, stick out
your chest, and walk
Hike around the block, if you feel like
hiking only that far or take a longer
walk into the country or thru the park.
Walk to work, if you have time; or
walk from work.
It's good for you.
It'll put you in trim.

Because Stalwartism
Has Arisen Must
Free Speech Depart?

Bryan has offered his services in any
capacity his country may designate, and
LaFollette has been pulling like q good
fellow for Consumption, but still the en-
battled soul of Dean Frederick Edwards
of st. PauTs cathedral, is unappeased
With nothing like the compassion Of
the Prodigals father but rather with the
vinegar spirit of the elder brother, he
reprobates them as debated radicals -
threatening the nation as no other foes
do
The Dean has not been serving the
Prince Of Peace very long in this parish
but long enough to learn that there are
folks right here who were diSseminat-
ing abominable doctrines until he came
to town. He detrained none too soon.
These misguided souls did not know
until the Dean disclosed the fact that a
new stalwartism has arisen" But he
should be patient, restoring them in the
spirit of meekness.
1t is not given all men to be sanguinary
to see red right along Slaughterous-
ness is hard to acquire for some Chris
tians. AS the costermonger said to the
Bishop, who asked him where ne learned
to swear so: "Lor' bless We, gunner, We
can't learn it; it's a bloomin' gift"
But this "stalwartism" that has arisen
for what has il arisen? To extend
democracy, according to President Will
son. But according to Dead Edwards its
mission is to limit democracy, repress
honest difference Of opinion, and put a
Siberian silencer upon free speech

desires to meet his or her patriotic duty
in this respect, to select proper foods
foods that will go farthest and food:
that are best suited to the requirements
of their bodies.
In New York, there is what is known
as The Life Extension lnstitNte.
1t is a self-sustaining philanthropy
calling itself clearing house of infor-
nation regarding personal hygiene and
how to live
The Institute has just published a
pamphlet dealing with the very timely
subject OF "Food-Fuel for the Human
Engine-What to Buy-How TO Cook Il
How to Eat It."
This book will tell the man who knows
all about carbureters. commutaters,
cams and camshafts what he doesn't
know about calories in food, the very
thing that a man who spends much of
his time riding in an automobile ought
to know.
The book can se obtained for 10 cents
by writing to the Institute, at No. p
West Forty-ffth-st., New York City, and
it is worth that many dollars Of any
bodys money-particularly the patriot
who recognizes that a part of his service
to his country win lie in the proper and
most economical feeding of himself.

A Mans a Man Today

Time was when it was quite the thing
call farmer "haySeed.
He was also called a rube, a hick, or
a greene.
But that time has gone. There never
was any sense in the use Of such words.
40 man is at home in another's surround
inqs
But today the farmer ranks with the
soldier as the nations first line defender.
The corn row ranks with the fire
trench.
The farmer is not only a useful per-
son today. but he is also a hero
So away with the patronzing attitude,
the high and lofty manner, the sarcasm
and dersion.
4 mans man these days.

The Meaning of the Day
BV Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)
This is the strange day.

This is the strange day.
This is the day of His coming.
Terrible and strange is His coming;
with tramplings of innumerable armies.
desolate and salt-sown fields strewn with
corpses; soil ploughed crater-furrowed
with monstrous shells the night sky
starred and streaked with deadly shrap-
mel
1t is the day of judgment. 1t is the
end of the world. 1t is the battle of Ar
mageddon.
History has two phases One, slow
preparation-forces brewing fires long
kindling. waters gathering, electricity
generating. The other, a sudden change;
at last the barrier falls. the vessel ex-
plodes, the electric force leaps out in
flash and fury. the dam breaks, the floods
roar forth
This is the day of accomplishment
The bell has rung. The signal has been
given The titanic potencies accumulate
ing thru centuries have come TO head.
Evolution moves slowly, as a glacier;
but at times leaps, as an avalanche.
This is the extravagant day. the day of
melodrama, of the impossible, of miracles
and madness.
The world is drunk with freedom They
are topping over old thrones, sweeping
away ancient dynasties, bursting thru
venerable creeds, swapping the rusted
chains of tradition, smashing impreg-
nabie institutions.
Nature has her own plans God
maketh the wrath Of man to praise Him.
What began as a quarrel between rival
nations will end as a triumph for human
ity. Out Of the clash Of kings the peo-
pie will emerge victorious. Democracy
is using the quarreling autocracies to
kill each other.
Terrible is the day of the Lord. and
past understanding. Yet His purposes
are for the health of the world After
the storm. the ozone-aden sunshine.
After the volcanic upheaval, the smiling
and fertile continent
And after all this destruction-peace,
with law He is trampling the wine
press: from the crushed grapes shall
flow the sweet wine.
After this the ships of the world shall
sail more safely. the lanes of commerce
shall be opened, the barriers between
nations weaker, and their bonds strong
er After this shall men work with
gladder songs, and women love with less
fear
Look forward. Look to the end. Look
to the golden year
Swceter shall the roses blow
In those far years, those happier years;
And children weep when we lie low
Far fewer tears, far softer tears
