YOUR COUNTRY IS CALLING.

Come, come, my lad, you're woman
slow in making up your mind
Which way you're going to serve your
country free.
Are you going to be an army man full
OF fighting blood
Armed with rifle, or are You ut for
lighting on the sea?
Where there's naught but sky above
you and the bright blue deep
below
When you're cruising where the Prus-
sian tigers turks
It's O place your country needs you,
and she's calling YOU today
To do the deeds no honest man should
shirk.
Aren't you going? Sure. you're going,
Aren't you going to enlist?
Or must some loyal chappie do your
bit?
Some other fellow who's no better
man than you;
Yet, somehow the stun inside won't let
him quit.
Can you face your girl and mother.
your sister and your father
And tell them that you feel little in
disposed to fight
And your duty to your country doesn't
bind you to its cali.
When it asks for YOU and asks from
morn till night.
Are you going to let them couple the
word Stacker" with your name?
When she needs you will YOU cut your
country cold2
All you Native Sons of Freedom, viii
you fail her in her crisis
And the rest OF you she's sheltered in
her fold?
Lay aside your flowers Of profit, pluck
a sturdy rose OF valor,
And hearlxen to the call that sounds
above the wild, alarms:
Sons Of Freedoml Native sons and
those adopted sons OF Freedom!
Come! I need you, Come! I need you!
Loyal sons Of mine. to armsi"

Thomas HOBBIES: For. as much az

Close estimates place the 1917 steel

and the United States. This total
should increase in 1918. With wooden
ships, built inland in sections and as

rate OF 2,400.00 tons a year, and al
most SOC, 900 tons of German shipping

SENATOR NORRIS HAS IT

',Girard" in Philadelphia Record
Now Senator Norris has 1t. ] mean
that curious disease which makes him
see conspiracies.
Newspapers, he declares, have en-
listed in a propaganda to manufac-
ture sentiment for war. And vet when
as correspondent used TO SIC the
senator in Washington-he was then
a member of the house-he seemed
like such a sane and wholesome fell
low.
But repeat. This notion that news
papers want war so that they can
print exciting news Is q disease. AS
well accuse men Of setting their
homes ablaze in order to see the fire
engines work.
Here is the cold fact: War costs the
newspapers more in real cash than it
costs any other important institution.
War news costs every live news
paper a great deal more money than
1t can possibly get back from the sale
of newspapers or in advertising.
A few years ago some valuable
testimony on this very subject was
brought out in connection with Joseph
Pulitzer's estate.s
1t was shown that one Of his
newspapers had been earning a profit
OF about a million dollars year be-
fore the Spanish war. So great were
the expenses OF that war that in 1898
the profits were actually reduced to
zero.
You can Judge from that how badly
Mr.. Pulitzer wanted a war. And 9TH
er papers suffered in like proportion.
The editor OF The London Post told
me his paper had 20 correspondents
in the Boer war. Gable tolls at that
time were $40 word from Cape
Town to London.
Perhaps Senator Norris also knows
of a man who deliberately had him.
self convicted Of murder merely to at
tract q crowd 20 his own hanging.

AN APPEAL TO NURSES.

Nurses OF the nation are asked to go
slow In leaving their present duties
to enlist for war service. The appeal
comes from Miss Mary Beard. presi-
dent Of the National Organization of
Public Health Nursing who urges that
nurses do not wreck the nations
health institutions by yielding to
patriotic outbursts of hysterical
impulses.
Surely this is timely and sensible
appeal The nation needs nurses in
its thousands OF hospitals. and it
would be a pitiful error il the suffer-
ers OF the United States should have
their sorrows increased because OF a
false conception Of duty on the part
Of those on whom they are dependent

ing to quit the peace occupations and
join organizations for war duty" said
Miss Beard She urged that all nurses
engaged in work pertaining to public
health retain their positions until call
ed for war duty.
The American public apparently
needs to be cautioned that there is no
cause for alarm or hysteria. What we
do we should do slowly, thoroughly,
efficiently. If we are to do a great
part in this war. we will be engaged in
the task for months and possibly years.
We will have time to go about our
preparation quietly and in order with
out sacrificing our effectiveness.
1t is a time for cool heads and to sit
quietly in the boat.

Christian Science Monitor; Mr..
Wilson put officially on record the
fact, recognized. from the very begin
ming of the struggle. by public opinion
on both sides. by Prince Bulow no less
than Lord Grey, and by Monsieur
Poincare equally with Count TIA, that
something far deeper than mere ma
tional ambitions had to be reckoned
with, in short that 1t was battle of
mentalities. This. OF course, was what
was meant by the German insistence
on the campaign of kultur, for kultur
as conceived by a Bulow or Hinder
burg, a Reinhardt or a Hauptmann. Is
q very different thing from culture as
understood by a Grey or q Grand Duke
Nicholas. Guitry or q d'Annunzio.
This campaign OF kultur has found
expression in the attempt to set up q
superman amongst the nations,
whereas the old idea of culture has
for its eventual object the establish
ment of the Parliament OF Man."

Poisoned by Thousands!

The victims of auto-intoxication are
many thousand every day. BY reason
of the toxins, or poisons, bred in the
intestines, these poisonous bacteria are
sent all thru the blood channels and the
victim feels tired, sleepy and headachy,
or the brain doesn't work as usual. The
best treatment for this is to drink hot
water before breakfast plenty of
water all the day long. And procure a
supply of Pheasant Pellets" made
of May apple, leaves of alloes, etc.,
with no calomel and entirely vegetable,
which can be obtained at almost any
drug store for Is cents vial. Invented
by DR.. Pierce forty or fifty years ago.
Equally important is it to cleanse kid.
neys and bladder, and drinking plerti-
fully of pure water viii cleanse them to
a certain extent. Then obtain at the
drug store a little Anuric. This is TO
be had in 5O-cent packages at almost any
pharmacy Anuric should be taken be-
fore meals and you viii soon find the
wonderful effects, as it is many times
more potent than lithia and seems to
dissolve uric acid as water does sugar.
