By Richard Balzac

In general, every evil to which
we do not succumb is benefactor.
What greater truth than this? Do
we realize what the war has done
and is doing for America2 The
impetus that victory will give the
country? Tlae melting pot, with
the fire of patriotism under it, has
welded the nation as no other
event could ever have done. Our
people are becoming more and
more efficient every day the war
lasts. They are doing fully TWEEN
ty-fve per cent more contructive
thinking and work than ever be-
fore. Old age has come into a
new kingdom and general brisk
ing Of older men is now in full
process, with immense benefit to
themselves and the nation at large.
How many lives that were like a
heavy burden to their owners for
lack OF occupaticn, or interest, in
something that would free their
minds from the lnonotony of sed-
entary life, have been regained,
SO to say, freshened by this new
activity, with added sense of being
still of some Importance in the
world; older men, as the Evening
Post says, who would put on a
brave front and say that they
would have no objection, nay, be
glad if necessary, to enter the
army themselves; men that are a
compelling example to younger
ones to do their very best. Thou

To know shorthand is better than
having your rich uncle leave you
ten thousand dollars. You might
lose the money, and You probably
would spend it, or some one would
get it away from you, but a know

THAT DIAZ FAMILY

We here, in Porto Rico, are not
at all surprised to hear of the
licking administered by General
Diaz to the infame tedesco. The
General no doubt is a soldier cut
after the fashion of that Sergeant
Diaz of ours, who. with handful
of milicianos" defeated the En-
glish at Martin Peiia, during one
of the sieges undergone by this
heroic city. Diaz was killed, but
his countrymen, the "jibaros
glorifed him in verse:
En- ell Puente Martin Pena
mataron a Pepe Diaz,
que era ell hombre mas valiente
que ell Rey de Espana tenia.
Which freely translated means !:
On the bridge, at Martin Peiia,
Pepe Diaz at last was killed;
He who was the bravest man
who served the Spanish King!

You are invited to attend preliminary meeting for
the purpose of discussing the organization of such

the last day of October at eight o'clock
Of course do not need to dwell at length on the
tremendous importance that the knowledge of the En-
glish language has for all the inhabitants Of the world
at large. Indeed when bear in mind that the total
population Of the globe say eighteen hundred Millions
of which not more than half are called civilized
according to standards when think that about
twenty-five per cent Of this civilized portion have English
its ve1nacuar tongue; when we consider that this
language is the international speaking vehicle of that
most civizing Of elements, COMMERCE.; when we
remember that the entire world is converting itself grad
uay to the political ideas and principles proclaimed
by that English speaking portion, it seems superfuous
to argue about the Importance of English and how
sential it is for everybody to be familiar with it.
But essential this knowledge is for the world at
large, it is particularly imperative for every thinking
Porto Rica1 and every Porto Rican is thinker-not
merely to be familiar with English but to master the
language Of Shakespeare and Poe without for moment
neglectng the tongue in which Cervantes made makes
and will make the world think and laugh Yes for every
intelligent Porto Rcan the study Of these two languages
must go hand in hand nationally must be bilingua

Look at our geographical situation, throw glance
at recent history and history in the making and let
imagination tell you which, by the happest combination
of circumstances will be Porto Rico's mission in the
future relations between the two great branches of the
human race that inhabt the American hemisphere.
This little land Of ours reader, If we Go our honest
duty we really patriotic is destined to great things
1t wllbe the transition point of the Americas it will be
the intellectual field where English and Spanish thought
will blend resulting, of course in entirely new orienta

between two distinct peoples will accomplish the unity
of America the genuine Pan-America by the only pos

Girls, Learn Shorthand;
Start To-day

One Of the many problems that
business men in general have to
solve in these abnormal times, is
obtaining efficient clerical help.
That most imperative of needs, the
defence of the country, demands
the heroic. efforts of our youth,
both male and female, and the
utmost difficulty is experienced by
employers in finding proper subs
titutes for those who to serve in
one or another capacity.
But where the want is more
keenly felt is in finding good ste
nographers. An efficient steno-
grapher and typewriter, who can
take dictation in English and
Spanish, is paid any where from
one hundred to two hundred dol
lars per month and if we consider
that only a few months Of concen-
trated study suffice to make a
good stenographer and typewriter
Of the average person, we do not
quite understand why such a com
paratively small number of young
people follow the profession up to
the point when they can be classed
as proficient. There are many who
call themselves stenographers, but
there are few who really are.
We call particularly the atten-
ton Of the Porto Rican girls to
what such an eminent authority
like DR.. Frank Crane had to say
about the profession.

and get a package OF Rheoma, the guaran-
teed prescription. Use the ensfe bottle,

quick and sure relief, say so, and you can
have your money back.
Isn't that fair offer? Can you see any
deceit or red tape about lit What chance
do you takef Absolutely none.
Then get bottle of Rheuma to-day.
It's reputable physicians prescription,
although different from remedies usually
prescribed, free from narcotic, and per-
fectly harmless. Rheuma acts ON the KID
neys and helps to force the uric acid IRON
the swollen joints and other lodging
places. 1t pieases you in day; 1t makes
you hopeful and happy in week. II has
released from bondage rheumatic sufferers
who thought nothing would give relief.
1t should do as much for you-it seldom
fails.
Don't miss this money back offer. A
