HOODS SARSAPARILLA
AND PEPTIRON PILLS

Conditions that are both scrofulous
and anemic are very common. Many
persons whose faces are "broken
. out," cheeks are pale, and nerves are
weak, suffer from them.
There is an effective, economical
remedy in the combination of Hood s
sarsaparilla and Peptiron Pills, one
taken before eating, the other after.
In these medicines taken in this
way the best substances for the blood
and nerves are brought together.

THE FIGHTING ENGINEERS.

We dug up husky mountains by the roots;
We spanned the rushing torrent with bridge;
We laid the rails to guide the steam-charged brutes
That fed the men and guns at Cambria Ridge.
We built road through slush and soupy mud,
While lodging shells the German "minnies" sent
We did the job and that it was good
And then we heard another call-and went.
The pick and shovel dropped from every hand;
We didn't notice where they fell;
We Crawled climbed ran in No Mans Land
To bring back tortured souls from worse than hell.
eDd then the Germans came-we had to fight;
With something near to Joy we grabbed the guns ;
For this we'd waited many day and night
To send our deadly greeting to the Huns.
With British Tommies we stood face to face
With death-and counted it the chance
Of ALTO be with them in that red place
To live and fight and maybe die for France
So shot for shot and ball for ball we gave
From trench and shel-hole till the fight was won
Then we came back, each from his living grave
Save those whose living fighting days were DONE
So when the story of the war is told
Let small chapter tell our 1ittie tale
Say that we helped the thin first line to hold O.
That when the big test came we did not fail
But do not call us heroes"-do not give
For those who died "out there" your futile tears.
But, smiling proudly, let their names still live
Upon the rol-the Fighting Engneers

Conscripting Labor.

In effect Secretary of Labor Wilson is opposed to
the conscrpon of labor unless industry is conscripted
along with it.
"Conscripton of industry" is a vague phrase un-
less it government control and operation; and
if it this, it is a step sufficiently radical to
satisfy the radical President Wilson, it is gen.
orally believed, is about recommend to Congress
government control and operation of railroads. Is
this to be followed by wholesale taking of other
industries? Not unless it is absolutely necessary for
the conduct of the Even then it is doubtful if
the administration would embark upon such an ex-
pertinent without the utmost deliberation 1t is too
full of pitfalls. We a long way off from the
kind of socialism that Secretary Wilson speaks Of
unless there is breakdown of industry of a kind
which is not indicated
We believe collateray that conscrption of labor is
also merely academic proposal at present. although
it may well be that many youths drafted for the ma
tional army may be to work in the harvest fields
in machine shops if such step becomes imperative
There are blanket class exemptions allowed under
the draft regulations. This does not however pre-
clude exemptions in various industries where the need
for skilled labor great and this in effect is labor
conscription in the Secretary Wilson as
suredly will not object to process of this Sort by
which men drafted from industries where they
are least needed, and held to civilian tasks where
they most needed.

Russia's Headache Is Coming.

One of the easiest things man does is to stand on
soap-box and build out of hot air state He can
take money from the rich and give to the poor He
can abolish capitalism with few ringing sentences and
lift poor humanity from the street and dump it right
into peace, comfort and luxury He can yank the
mighty from their thrones and hur them headlong into
oblivion.
Such is the wonderful power of imagination and
oratory The only trouble is that when the eloquent
orator gets chance to perform he has dickens of
time of it making his dreams come true
Old human nature is perverse and stupid that it
won move any faster than it en- masse, and
can't evolute as fast as its dreamers can dream

Jailed him if he didn't please as Lenine and Trotzky

Poor Russia is drunk Dreams and has an awful

perience The one thing that is certain in the near
future is the awful failure of the Boshevki Utopia.
Then the world will think several times before, else

"Hain't seen nothing, Abner," answered the other,
