BOYS IN FRANCE ARE
 HEALTHY
January ?, 1918,

 My lear Coy. Cappor:
 You may recall writing to me sev eral days ago concerning persistent reports" as to the immoderate sale Cf liquor among our forces in France. My impression was that these rumors were not well founded in fact; but I felt it my duty to convey their content to Gen. Persh- ing. and to ask him to communi- cate with me as to the facts. You will be glad to know that l have just received the following words from the commander of the Ameri- can EXpeditiOnary Forces:
 There has never been & similar body of men to lead as clean lives as our American soldiers in France They have entered this war with the highest devotion to duty and with no other idea than to perform these duties in most efficient man. her possible. They fully realize tha'- obligation to th-ir own people. their friends and the country. A rigi' program of Instruction is carried out daily with traditional American enthusiasm. Engaged in healthy interesting exercises in the open air with simple diets, officers md men, like trained athletes, are ready for their task. Forbidden the use of strong drink and protect ef by stringent regulations against sexual evils. and supported by their own moral courage, their good be- havior is the subject of most favor able comments, especially by our allies. American mothers may rest assured that their sons are a credit to them and to the Nation, and they may well look forward to the proud day when on te battlefield these splendid men will shed a new luster On American manhood.
 Cordially yours,
 NEWTON D. BAKER,
 Secretary of War. Hen. Arthur CappOr,

Lincoln's undying Gettysburg ad- dress has been put into the new poetic style by Dr. Marion Mills Mill Ter. who finds that "the speech is as perfect a poem as ever was written, and even in the minor qualities of artistic language - rhythm and cadence, phonetic euphony, rhetori- cal symbolism and that subtle reminiscenca of great literary and spiritual inheritance. the Bible, which stands to us as Homer did to tbe ancients - it excels the finest gem to be found in poetic cabinets from the Greek anthology down ward" Dr. Miller's interesting DO 'etic" presentation of the address follows: ,4a Fourscore and seven years ago Our fathers brought forth on this
 continent
 A new nation, : Conceived in liberty,
 And dedicated to the proposition That all men are created equal. Nov We are engaged in great civil war,
 Testing whether that nation, Testing whether that nation Or any nation so concieVed and so
 dedicated,
 Can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield o that war,
 We have come to dedicate 6 portion
 Of that field
 As final resting-place
 For those who here gave their lives That that nation might live.

INSURANCE ON EUEGNIC BASIS

The following is taken from an ar iCle by Dr. Fritz Lenz in the Murchner Medizinische Wochen- schrift (Aug. 21.):
 During the last few months the idea of family insurance on 8 eu- genlr basis for the Bsvarian civil service has taken tangible shape The plan originated with the Bavar- ian ministry for communications, and was at first confined to the officials of this department, l. e., the postal, telegraph, and railway serVants. The scheme, however, seems then to have met with we'll mAiited appreciation from the oth- .er Government departments, so that now the foundation of an in surance istitution for the whole of the Bavarian civil service is al- ready counted upon"
 The pivot of the scheme is the obligatory .finsuranee of additional bonuses for the children of all Gov ernment officials. (Kindersulagen Families with at least three living children are to receive a bonus for each child out of the insurance which is for the mos: part provided for out of Sta'e funds.

Nothing can be good for every thing.

 Here is reliable evidence of their worth.
 Wm. A. Quayle prop. electric motor repair shop, 991 Harrison St. san Francisco, Calif., says: "I was troubled with my kidneys for about two months. The kidney secretions were profuse and highly colored and l had to get up four or five times at night to pass them. l worked in a lead mine a number of years ago and l think that was the cause of my trouble. became wor- ried and went to a drug store and asked for the best kidney medicine. Doan's Kidney Pills promptly re- moved the trouble with my kidneys and I have had no sign of it since"
 OVER A YEAR LATER Mir. ouayle said: Never in my life have I enjoyed such good health as I an now having. I give Doans' Kidney Pills all the credit for they rid me of kidney trouble"

Gettysburg Speech Called Marvel of Poetic
 Splendor

It is altogether fitting and proper That we should do this. But, in g larger sense, We can not dedicate- We can not conseerate- We can not hallow- This ground. The brave men, living and dead, Who struggled here Have consecrsted it far above our
 poor power To add or detract. The world will little note nor olng
 remember What we say here, But it can never forget What they did here. It is for us, the living, rather To be dedicated LeIe to the unfinish ed work Which they who fought here have, Sd
 nobly advanced. It is rather, for us to be here dedi-
 cated
 To the great task remaining be-
 fore us- That from these honored dead We take increased devotion to that l cause
 For which they gave the last full
 measure of devotion; That we here highly resolve That these dead shall not have died
 In vain;
 That this nation, under God, Shall have a new birth of freedom; And that government of the people, By the people, and for the people Shall not perish from the earth.

The Wildwood Boy Scouts have
an Outside Drill

Last Friday night the Wildwood
Boy Scouts had an outside drill. They
formed in line on Montgomery avenue,
had a little drilling and then went up
stairs in the city hall. Dues we're col.
lected, minutes read and a little BUSH
ness transacted, especially about camp
ing. Then they formed in line and
went out again. The reason
was because the Wildwood City Band
wanted to have a little practice. They
had about an hours drilling outside,
and then marched up Pacific avenue
to the arcade, where a half hour drill
was given there. After that drill,
sides were chosen for a game. They
spent about another half hour playing
the game and then the troop was dis
missed. The boys did better selling
Liberty Bonds in this third drive than
ever before. 1t is reported that they
sold around $4,000 worth of bonds. A
Scout had to sell ten individual bonds
before he could get a medal. A few of
the fellows sold enough to receive q
medal, and they are very proud of it
too. The fellow selling the mao bonds
was Milton Robbins, who sold about
30. Some weeks ago, a meeting was
held in the high school auditorium,
mainly for the sale of Liberty Bonds.
Several business men were present and
made speeches. This meeting is what
put the "Pep' in the fellows and gave
them a push. A Local Council has also
been organized consisting of some busi-
ness men, which will be Of great help
to the Scouts. More members are
wanted. There are about thirty menu
bers.
