The Kid Has Gone to the Colors.

Inc AAA0 AA0c NIVnC " cnO OOAVACs
Nv. NJ. Herschell, in the Indianapolis Nescs.
ThesKid has gone to the Colors
And we don't know what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the Flag to-day.
We thought him child, baby,
With never care at all,
But his country called him mAn-size,
And the Kid has heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting.
Where, fred by the fife and drum.
He bowed his head to Old Glory,
And thought that it whispered; "Come!'
The Kid, not being Stacker,
Stood forth with patriot-joy
To add his name.to the roster
And God. we're. proud Of the boy!
The Kid has gone to the Colors;
1t seems but . little. while
Since he drilled schoolboy army
In truly martial style.
But now he's man, q soldier,
And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is heart all loyal.
Unscourged by the curse Of fear.
His dad, when he told him, shuddered,
His motherhood bless heri-cried;
Yet, blest with mother-nature,
She wept with . motber-pride.
But he whose old shoulders Strengthened
Was Grandchildren memory ran
To years when he. too, youngster,
Was changed by the Flag to man.

TWO GOOD REMEDIES
WORKING TOGETHER. PRODUCE
MARVELLOUS RESULTS.

For instance, Hoods Sarsaparilla,
the standard blood purifier, is rec
commended for conditions that are
scrofulous or dependent on impure
or depleted blood.
Peptiron Pills, the new iron tonic,
are especially recommended for con-
.itions that are radically or charac-
teristically anemic and nervous.
Many persons suffer from combi-
rasion of these conditions. They are
-..icted with swellings Of the glands,
inches in the neck, cutaneous erup-
ons, and sores on different parts of
e body, limbs and face, and are be-
les pale and nervous.
If these patients take both Hood S
lrsaparilla before meals) and
'eptiron Pills latter meals) they are
rsasonably sure to derive fourfold
esnetit. These two great medicines
Implement each other, and the use
II both, even in cases where only one
icy, appear to be indicated, is Of
eat advantage. Get them from

A FINE PLAN THAT FIzzLED.
Gerard Says Germany Expected United
States to Pay For War.


States to Pay For War.
At a national defense dinner given
by the Pilgrim Publicity association In
Boston James w. Gerard, former am
bassador to Germany, declared that
Admiral Won Tirpitz and the German
reichstag had seriously proposed the In
stitution Of unrestricted submarine
warfare against England with the in
tention, when England should have
been subdued by hunger, to come over
to the United States and collect the
price Of the war from u.s.
Il want to tell you," Mr.. Gerard add
ed, "that If we had not gone into this
war Germany would have fulfilled its
intention to come over here afterward
and attack us and would have done so
almost with the applause of the rest Of
the world. l can tell you also that ev-
erything consistent with honor was
done to keep US out Of the war. Be
yond that am sure none would have
us CO."

Strike of Quarrymen.

About forty-five quarrymen in Sullivan
and twenty five in Franklin quit work
Tuesday, pending settlement OF their
demand for level wage of s2.75 q day.
They are now receiving s1.75 to s2.25.
It is understood that the operators are
willing to grant wage increase, but not
to put all the men on the same basis,
regardless Of ability. It is believed the
differences will be adjusted quickly.
Unless settlement is soon reached, some
hundred or more cutters will be affected,
a. quarried stone is exhausted. In
some quarriss there is work ahead for
the cutters for only few days, while in
others the cutters have work for three
weeks or more without more stone being
quarried.
