Fever.

The human body is continually pro-
ducing heat and just as continually using
il up in its various activities. When the
balance OF gain and loss is disturbed, the
temperature of the body eitherfals below
or rises above the normal-9S.5 degrees.
When the body heat is excessive, we
call the condition lever.
Fever is not disease in itself, but a
symptom of many diseases. Ii ranges
from the slight rise that accompanies an
attack ofindgestion, or "feveush cold.
to the long, high fever Of typhoid or the
raging temperature of pneumonia. In
former days, the mere fact that there was
fever caused great CONSERVATION, and The
only thought Of patient, physician and
friends was TO reduce the temperature at
all costs. For that purpose a great many
drugs of an antipyretic nature were used
Those drugs did often serve to beat
the fever down temporarily; but as they
rarely did anything TO combat the real
cause of the fever, it naturally came back
again.
Now we have learned not to waste our
time fighting fever, and have even found
out that fever is really friend. II signi-
fies that nature is doing The best il can TO
burn up the poisons-waste matter, bac-
terra, whatever they may be that are
the real cause OF the illness. OF course
fever, like fire anywhere else, must be
watched, and il possible checked when
it grows too fierce; for if high fever is
allowed 10 rage unchecked, the tissues oi
the body as well as the poisons that the
fire was originally lighted 10 consume
must 90 10 feed it.
Small deyistions from the normal con-
stanty occur and are Of no importance.
People who get "hipped' on the sub
lect OF fever and live with thermometers
in their mouths make great mistake. A
fever that is serious enough 10 be taken
into account will declare Itself unmis-
takably. Many people Of nervous tem-
perament, and most children, have a few
erish temperature on very slight proyoca-
ton; that is only natures effort 10 adjust
the balance, and il is often owing 10 di-
etary errors. In long continued fevers
the treatment is matter for the physician,
and is directed chiefly TO maintaining the
nutrition and the strength Of The patient

the appearance Of hyphenism and divis-
sion amonguS. The mass OF the people,
frankly ignorant OF the great issues and
of our consequent national interests,
looked 10 its responsible, and presump-
lively informed, leaders for information
ard guidance They still "have conf
dence in the President" Yet the Presi-
dent again the other day. re-affirmed his
abdication OF leadership. when Mr.. Lam
sing, with reference TO the enslavement
wholesale OF the Belgiaus, announced
that 1.-The administration has exhausted
the resources Of diplomacy, and it's now
up to the people" Hence you have il
thus: The people look 10 the admins
tration intelligently TO act for them. The
administration waits for the people TO tell
it what 10 do. Yet the people have no
other organ OF speech or action than their
official representatives-the administra-
tion.
If have written al length and have
ventured TO regret the Registers attitude,
pray believe that it is only because feel
that supreme crisis confronts America,
not less than Europe. II is our interna-
tional law, our principles OF free govern
ment, independence, right, justice, Chris
iianity, humanity, civilSation that are at
issue. Hence the issues OF the war affect
lie as vitaly as they affect any nation.
We cannot afford to be neutral in
thought"-as wrote 10 the New York
Times at the BEGINNING OF the war, when
the President announced that dangerous
dictum. The more we wish to live IN
peace, the more is il necessary Tor us to
understand that there is a voice OF civili-
sation which speaks for faith and honor
and morality and forbids that any wanton
dislurber OF the worlds peace may there

and neglect OF neutrals smothers that
voice. When a desperate begins 10
"shoot up" a town, we do not believe II
right or expedient that each citizen should
seek safety in his cellar and indulge IN
pious moralizing about his own superior
peaceful virtues and his neutrality
Law and order and, security and decency
are not thus maintained. Even so II is in
thatlarger community OF nations,
whose humane professions become our
system OF morality, whose treaties and
agreements embody that morality in inter
national law, and whose "honor" and in
tereSts require that none should abandon
these agreements and morality when
violated by an aggressor. Internal order
also depends directly upon external or

dealing between nations-that solemn

The Glory of Work.

There the workman saw his labor taking form and
bearing fruit.
Like tree with splendid branches rising from
humble root.
Looking at the distant city temples, houses, domes
and towers,
Felix cried in exultation All the mighty work is
ours.
Every mason in the quarry. eyery builder on the
shore.
Every chopper in the palm grove, every raitsman Al
the oar.
"Hewing wood and drawing water. splitting stones
and cleaving sod,
All the dusky ranks of labor, in the regiment of
God.
March together toward His triumph do the task
His hands prepare.
Honest toll is holy service faithful work is praise
and prayer"

nhe Government Al Home.

Among the congregation OF the church
al Williamsburg none was for years more
faithful in attendance than Ezra Norton.
and the fact that his pew had been empty
for four successive Sundays troubled the
minister a great deal. Finally he called
on Mr.. Norton 10 find out what was the
cause OF his absence.
"The matter is simple enough" said
Norton. "A month ago one OF The Off
GERS OF your church cheated me out oi
sixteen dollars on hay deal. Will not
90 10 a church one OF whose leading
members will do trick like that"
The minister seemed to be puzzled Tor
an answer, for after moment he changed
the subject. "Didn't you belong TO the
Second Regiment from this State during
the Civil War, Mr.. Nofion2"
The man Strengthened and his iaee
frightened. 81 certainly did" he replied.
Wasn't that the regiment that was so
shamefully treated by its officers In the
matter OF arms and eommissary 2" con-
tiuued the minister.
"Yes, il was" aSsenied Norton.
"Why didn't you break your gun over
a stump and come back home ?" asked
the minister.
"What2 Desert 2" said Norton. "Not
much No matter what our officers did.
we were fighting for the country and the
government. We were responsible 10
the government al home. Besides, we
knew that Honest Abe would give us
the clothes from his back and the bread
out OF his mouth, aud we wanted 10 be
loyal tor his sake"
"Do you think then that the govern
ment al home would have taken III treat
ment by your officers as an excuse Tor
desertion ?" asked The minister.
mo 70 replied Norton. at would have
held The officers responsible Tor negli-
gence, but il wouldn't have let us creep
behind their backs TO excuse lack OF
duty on our own part"
Ibid you ever think OF the church as a
Christian army, Mr.. Norton, and the gov
ernment at home as God, the Father
and did you ever think OF the officers OF
the church as only subotdinates, respon-
sible 10 God Tor their misdeeds, and that
the ordinary member, the rank-and-iilc
soldier, cannot creep behind their backs
as an excuse for being recreani TO his
own duty ?"
81 never thought OF u In that way"
replied Norton. "But you're right. II
we desert the cause. the government al
home will Judge us on our own merits;
and II the officers have done wrong, they
will be held accountable for their own
misdeeds."
"You spoke OF Honest Abe and your
wishing TO be loyal 10 him, because he
was loyal 10 the soldiers OF The rank and
file. Don't you think that The Father,
who represents the government al home.
is equally loyal to the Christian soldier.
and would give-has given-his best Tor
him ?"

DRAFT REGISTRY
DAY IMMEDIATELY
Letter From Governor Capper Outlines How The
Military Draft Law Will Operate In Meade.
Heavy Penalty For Failure to Register
To tie Sheriff of Meade County:


To the Sheriff of Meade County:
This Office has been advised by
the secretary of war that the fol-
lowing method is to be pursued in
the registration under the selective
draft:
The sheriff. county clerk and
county physician are to constitute
a board in each county to super
wise the registration and draft; the
sheriff to be the executive officer
of the board; the clerk the custo-
dian of tho records and secretary
of the board. and the county ply
sician to make the physical eXami-
nations at the proper time.
This registration is to be made
by election precincts throughout
the county and the duty of your
county board is to appoint in each
precinct a board of three members
to conduct the registration; two of
these should be able to write a
good clear hand and women of vot-
ine age could be used on the regis
tration board.
In naming the registration boards
in your precinct, the secretary of
war believes hat you can find pa
triotic people who will volunteer
to act as registration officials with
out compensation.
1t will also be the duty of your
board to designate suitable place
in each precinct for the registra
ton, such place to be rendered BY
its patriotic owner free of cost to
the government.
In townships having one voting
precinct, you might designate the
Meade County news., 1917-05-03

members of the township board as
registration officials. If there is
more than one precinct in the
township, it will be necessary to
make provision for a board in each
precinct.
While it is assured by the secre-
tary of war that all parties con-
cerned in carrying out this draft
will do so without question from
patriotic motives, it should be un-
derstood that heavy penalties are
provided for failure to do so.
OF course, nothing official can be
done Until the president issues his
proclamation and you are further
advised. The registration must be
made on one certain specified day
and the secretary of war states
that it must be made within ten
days after the proclamation is is
sued, so you can see the necessity
of haste in formulating your plans.
All men enlisted prior to the day
of registration in the national
guard, army, navy, marine corps,
etc, will be exempt from the pro-
visions of the draft.
The good name of the state calls
for the whole hearted cooperation
of every official of the state in this
plan of raising the army, and / am
sure that you and the other men,
bers of your board will come up to
full expectations. Now that the
plan of ra sing the army has been
adopted, it is our patriotic duty to
fall in line and do our best.
Very respectfully YOURS.
ARTHUR CAPPER, Governor
