THE BOYS CIVIL WAR REMINIS.
CENCES

Six days after the firing on Fort
Sumpter l arrived at my seventh birth
day. Eastern central Illinois eighty
four miles south Of Chicago, a very
loyal section Of Abe Lincoln's home
state, quickly felt ond responded to
the patriotic call for troops to defend
and perpetuate the Union. The early
appearance Of soldiers in blue was
very attractive to us boys and many
a march we made with all kinds Of
war materials short of explosives ex-
cept those of the mouth. We saw SOL
djers drill, some in uniform, some in
citizens dress awaiting the change. We
saw them loaded in box cars and on
fiat cars carried from out our sight
many of them never to return. Well do

Whose holy fame. from heaven caught,
The goddess holds aloft to sight

That stains the stars hat crown her

And now before her affrighten eyes

Suspended like a Judgment scroll,
Witnessed in Gods handwriting dread,
Above the awakened nations head.

BOOST, o N KNOCK

There has been considerable un-
justifiable criticism of the Commercial
Club over its method of trying to raise
money for Company &C" fund through
the carnival method. But it is very
poor policy to sit back and criticise

they began to mobilize. One after
another plan had been rejected for var.
lous reasons The engagement Of the
carnival company, after careful inves-
tigation OF their shows, appealed to
them as the best and most feasible
plan that could be adopted under the
existing circumstances. We know
there are many people who object to
this form Of amusement and would not
spend their money that way. and there
is nothing that compels them to do
SO. Under the present conditions it
would seen to the Register that the
least these people could do would be
to refrain from putting a damper on
the efforts of the Commercial Club to
raise money without a direct appeal
and a house to house canvass. This
method will come often enough before
the war is over, and a committee TO
do such work is not easily drafted, for
the reason that many people repeat
eddy turn them down. The Register
had a different plan. as we stated last
week, but when We found put that the
Commercial Club had contracted for
the carnival, we quickly decided to
forget Il plan and boost" for the
Clubs idea, in order that Company C
shall get every dollar that can be
raised.
Personally, for the good of the town
and u merchants, we do not believe
in c%arnivals, but the Mayor and the
City Council are cooperating with the
Commercial Club to carry out the
plan adopted, and the Register will
give them all the support it can, for
the reason that a. divided house never
accompanies anything. The carnival
is here, let's make it a success for the
sake Of the money Company &c" will
get. II you can't boost" don't

1t was the soviet influence
which Korniloff. the soldier. the

The soviet hates Korniloff.
One of the main reasons why
Korniloff attempted the over

final word over all troops there.
He lived like lord. Limous,nes
were at his disposal. He felt his
power and he exercised It. More
over, he always protected the SOL
diers against their officers.
Kornlloff saw this systems
workings. He decided 1t was i'm
possible to lead an army 40
formed and controlled. He held
1t the most grotesque system in
history. 1t was unthinkable, in
Korniloff's view, that an army so
weakened in discipline and SO con-
trolled by civilians who knew
nothing of strategy could ever
protect Russia. So he revolted.

Federal and school officials are
taking quick precautions to pre-
vent further spread of the small

An order was issued at the
camp Thursday afternoon that not
only soldiers of the new National
army, but all other persons at
the camp must be vaccinated at
onncen or produce certificates
showing recent vaccination. This
applies to 5000 workmen of the

be vaccinated free by the army.
Because one of the smallpox
victims was a student at Lincoln

OF taking the German people into

The instantaneous rejection by
public opinion in the United States

The "BIoWgun."

Among the Koasti Indians the
"blowgun" is still used for shooting
birds. This weapon consists of tube,
usually a cane, about six feet long,
rubbed smooth on the inside with an
implement made for the purpose, and
carefully Strengthened with the aid Of
fire. Slender pointed darts about eight
inches long are used as ammunition,
each one wrapped neatly along a third
of it's length with thistledown or cot
ton to make 1t fit the inside of the
tube. The hunter places dart in the
tube, which he raises to his head and
aims at his game; then a quick puff
of breath drives the little dart flying
with sufficient force to impale and kill
a small bird or squirrel.

Ancients Fumigated Much As
Modern Physicians Do Today.

That the ancients knew the microbes
of diseases is impossible to imagine,
yet it is certain that many Of them
understood that there were such
things. DR.. Jonathan Wright of Pleas
antville, N. Y, quotes in the Scientific
Monthly from many Roman, Arabian
and other writer's extracts that prove
this. That many Of them called the
unseen offenders demons" does not
alter the fact.
Varro and COlumella, in the first CEN
fury after Christ, ascribed the diseases
of Rome to little animals which live in
the swamps and are breathed by men.
This is coming very close to the mod
ern conception.
And the Egyptian and Assyrian
censers, thousands Of years before
Christ, burned resinous drugs and let
loose the smoke of ethereal oils to ex-
orcise the little demons of disease, pre-
cisely as our board of health doctors
until very recently fumigated our
houses to kill the germs of contagion.
How efficacious either method may be
is neither here nor there, the ESSENTIAL
fact being that the ancients, without
microscopes, had discovered the great
truth upon which modern science Is
based.

Why You Eat Food.

Nine-tenths of our food is eaten tn.
supply heat and energy. The amount
OF heat and energy required by indi-
viduals Is reckOned in calories. The
most accurate way to determine how
much food to buy for family ia to
figure how many calories the members
require, says a writer in the Woman,s
Home Companion. Tables of food
values with directions for using them
are published by both national and
state agricultural departments. There
are also simple textbooks that explain
clearly the usefulness of reckoning nv
calories. These books are readily mn.
derstood after little study of them.
When zone knows approximately how
many calories each member Of the fam.
lily requires, and how many calories
certain amounts of food contain, one
can settle with definite figures the old
question that used to be answered bv
guesswork only: "How much shall r
buy?" ~
