Undoubtedly no other army ever mo.
blllzed contained so many men who are
graduates of colleges and higher schools
as the present American forces. All one
has to do is to just list in his own mind
the names of the men who have gone OF
who are on their way, and think who
they are educationally. The percentage
of college men, either in reference to the
total college stndent body, or even to
the total forces of the army is very large
while nearly all are soldiers and sailors
at least common or high school gradual.
es. AS an instance, from the city en-.
gineer's office in the comparatively small
city of Fargo, twenty -one young men,
all civil engineers, have volunteered and
doubtless this is not very exceptiona
case. Education makes man think
or and reader. Because he is think
er he realizes his duty sooner and strong
er than the uneducated. He goes to
the front because he realizes that his
country needs his personal services.
That is, from pure patriotism. Many of
them leave good salaries and fine pros
poets, Personally, we believe that an
army 80 composed must be the best
army the world has ever seen. Ger.
many has a great military machine but
it is mechanical, the American army is
composed of individual machines, which
are seli-acting atomatoms, which can
and will act in unison because of COM
mon parpose and intelligent patriotism.

How to Preserve Meat When Hunting
10 Told by a Hunter.
=, We cut plenty of meat from both the
sheep and were busy most Of the next
two days caring for our trophies and
drying meat. The sheep and bear skins
had to be scraped, the fat carefully
removed, the skin stretched out to dry
Fortunately the weather was clear and
the sun hot, so that the drying was
quickly and well done. We cut great
deal Of both sheep and bear meat into
strips and hung it on a rack that we
rigged near the fire, where it would
aatch the sun and also receive artificial
heat as well. Meat dried in this way
will last indefinitely, and, though the
flavor is not much to boast of, the
meat is nourishing and goes well in
.'mulligans'' and similar concoctions.
For my people at home also dried a
iew pounds of both sheep and bear

Man Should Know Truth.

Each man should learn what is with.
in him, that he may strive to mend !;
he must be taught what is without
him, that he may be kind to others.
1t can never be wrong to tell him the
truth; even if q fact shall dis
courage or corrupt him, it is still best
that he should know it; for it is in
this world as it is, and not in world
made easy by educational suppression,
that he must win his way to shame or
glory.-Robert Louis Stevenson.

Sincerity Gives Charm.

If we study those poets and teach
ers of by-gone times whom we love.
whose words still have the bloom upon
them, for example: Aeschylus, Plato,
Jesus, Milton, Pascal, Rousseau, Emer-
son, Whitman, Stevenson, we shall
find that first of all they were sincere.
They did not need to study what Vol
taire calls "le grand art de plaire," !"
the grand art Of pleasing, for their
transparency, their spontaneity gave
infinite charm.-James Townsend,

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Practically four days continuous
battle in the Cambria locality was waged
by the Germans in an effort to regain
the territory lost by them to the British
two weeks ago. Ground was gained and
lost by both sides and the battle closed
with the British holding about all they
had previously gained. From present
reports perhaps it was the most sanguih-
ary battle of the war, as the Germans
came on in solid masses intending to
drive the British back through mere
force of numbers. Losses on both sides
were very heavy but as usual numbers
are only guess-work. Some American
engineers who were building railways
close up to the front we're caught in the
rush, but dropped their spades and took
muskets and fought with the British
and some of these were killed and
wounded. The strategical Importance
Of the gains made by the British near
Cambria has thus been attested, the
sacrifices of many German lives, the
eleven heavy assaults on eighteen mile
front in the attempt to regain the lost
positions. In Italy both sides continue
to bring up reinforcements of men and
guns probably preparatory to a great
battle. The Germans are undou btedly
hurrying up their big gun from the rear
as IN q short time the mountain passes
will be filled with SHOWS that will pre-
vent passage.
The Presidents message to Congress
which was delivered this week at the
opening of that body has for its chief
idea that we should at once declare war
against Austria Hungary. This would
to great extent be but formality of
course because if we are at war with
Germay we are also at war with all pro-
vinces that belong to Germany apd
Austro-H Hungary is at present practi-
cally but German state.
The message also makes same sharp
criticisms about the war policies,of Ger.
many and shows up the dupiclty Of its
diplomats and diplomatic relations.
Russia Of which we write elsewhere
has through its. Petrograd governments
made an armistice Of two days with the
Germans. This is also but q form as
there has been practically cessation Of
fighting between the German and Rus
sian forces Tor about two months.

Mother Praises Remedy
That Relieved Her Baby,
DR. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin Is a De-
pendable Family Laxative.

Nearly all the sickness incident to
a baby's life is due to constipation,
or inaction of the bowels. At the
first indication of irregularity in this
important function, relief should be
afforded promptly. A mild laxa-
! tive should be administered to gent
ly carry off the congested waste and
leave the stomach and bowels free
to perform their allotted tasks.
OF the various remedies recon-
mended to relieve constipation, the
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin, as prescribed by DR. w
B Caldwell and sold in drug stores
under the name of DR. Caldwell's s
Syrup Pepsin, is the most effective.
1t contains no opiate or narcotic
drug, is pleasant to the taste, mild
and gentle in action, and quickly
brings the desired relief in an easy
natural manner.

in praise of DR. Caldwell's Syrup

Peanut HuIls vs. CottonseedH Hulls

Ground peanut hulls have been
used for adulterating mixed feed and
are also being sold separate as q dairy
feed. In feed value they rank a lit
tie higher than cottonseed hulls. A
number of farmers who have used
the peanut hulls. report that they
like it better than the cottonseed
hulls. When the ground peanut hulls
can be secured at a reasonable cost
there is no objection to using them
in dairy COW sections in place of the
cottonseed hulls.
