 and critical acumcn to .sreak conteAptuously of the achievements of American writers.
 In recent years there has been a marked disposition on the part of American critics to characterize ns rubbish and unworthy of place in literature the writings of certain Americans who were rc5a dcd with great affection in my youth. hope l am a good American and without literary chauvinisn, but l OBJECT TO THE FAMILIAR SNEER THAT OUR LITERATURE IS ONLY \ PHASE AND HARDLY A CRED1TABLE PHASE OF ENGLISH LITERATURE.
 It is often said, and truly, l thin, that the great and exacting problems of government and the de- velopment of the country itself have so absorbed our imagination and en- ergy tbat we have approached the arts laggardly and reluctantly.
 AM CONVINCED, HOWEVER, THAT WE ARE AT LAST COMING TO A REALIZATION OF OUR iM- pERFEcTioNs AS CONTRIBUTORS TO THE VARIOUS ARTS.

When the smoke of war has

Nineteen hundred years ago Jesus
Christ went about telling men that
they were children of God.
II that is true,-if all men are
children of God,-then all men are

And now, after nineteen hundred
years, Wilhelm, all men are about
to find that great truth out.

LIFT YOUR C0RNS
Off WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen tender corn
or callus so It lifts out
without pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
tine moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
lievcd and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cal
lus without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any OF the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for you.

Dear Wilhelm-On the day
write this the President is going to
ask Congress to vote that you and
my folks are at war.
l see by the papers that some OF
your employees do not take this very
seriously, Wilhelm. So l think I
ought to write you, and tell YOU ex.
actly what 1t means.
1t means-I say it without rancor.
Wilhelm. and purely as a matter of
giving you the customary notice-it
means that your services as King will
no longer be required.
So far as we are concerned, you
might as well begin right now to
clean out your desk. When our gov
eminent writes to Berlin next time,

dress, but it will bear different

are going to war to win peace for

For the first of these foundations

remind you of all the shifty, hating
explanations you made when our
boats were sunk. Zimmerman's last
effort is enough to remember. On
the very day when he was telling us
how friendly you were to us, he was
promising to help Mexico take our
away and Japan our Pa
cific coast
Your people we are willing to
trust, Wilhelm; but we have had
enough of your employees. The new
world peace must be written on a
whole sheet of paper, not a scrap.

Kings may have been all right for
the little one-cylinder states OF the
middle ages. But there will never
be succession of men strong enough
and wise enough, Wilhelm, to drive
the big twin-six modern state.
You may point to your splendid
ancestor. Frederick the Great; and

after him, Wilhelm? Frederick

Even granting that you have gov

Don't Erazzle BABY.

There are cross babies and happy
babies. placid babies and nervous la
bies. ugly babies and smiling babies.
The only difference between baby
with a mean disposition and the grown
np person with mean disposition is
that the baby usually has a cause for
his meanness which may be remedied.
Although cross baby is not always n
sick baby. something Is certainly
wrong II baby cries much of the
time. Now and then there may be Il
baby that il cross because It does not
receive too much attention. Nothing
makes baby more peeyish than to be

ment Of the family and part of the
night for his own amusement. \ baby

Give the Feathered Tribe a Chance

Take care of the little birds. Give
them helping hand and they will re-
pay you a hundredfold by their songs
as well as in the destruction OF harmful
insects. The vital factor in attracting
birds Is the food supply This may
he furnished either by providing arti-
fetal food, such as crumbs, suet. chop
ped nuts and the like. or by planting
trees. shrubs and herbs which will pro
duee fruits or seeds that the birds
themselves may gather. Winter feed
ing is the most familiar phase of bird
feeding. but there is no reason why
birds should not be attracted through
out the year by supply of food. For
artificial feeding the biologists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture suggest the use of several devices.
\ food shelf may be placed against the
side OF the house near Il window. or a
food tray may be fixed to the top Of Il
post. A wooden house. open on one
side. mounted on a pivot and provided
with yanes TO keep the open side away
from the wind, may also be used as a
feeding place.

the loin." The spelling was changed
to sirloin as the result of Il joke on

long days hunt. when sirloin of
beef was placed before him. II was
so delicious that. laying his sword
across 1t. he knighted it, saying, Not

Always from that time this cut of
meat has been known by its noble
name of sirloin.
