The sOI3ier's R,nniOa.

For many years the Soldiers
Reunion mas been the great event
OF the County, and last Friday
was no exception, as lar as the
crowd was concerned. The pro-
gram was all right and coudi-
tons favorable for a splendid
outing. But Jupiter Pluvius
seemed to have something to do
with it, and about 2:30 O'Clock,
a violent down pour of rain set
in and kept at it for more than an
hour. Those that had not gone
home before the rain wished they
had, and the reunion came to a
close ia a short order. George
Comarer took the precaution to
say his piece before dinner,
while saying was good; but the
speakers for the afternoon are
now saving up their dope for
next year with the exception of
FOOD Administrator Jackson,
who relieved his system in the
afternoon before the rain began.
1t seemed too bad. Every
year sees fewer and fewer old
soldiers at these gatherings, and
everybody feels that it is a privi-
lege to tnrn out and help to
honor these Civil War heroes.
The Red Cross people, notwith
standing the rain, cleared about
$l69 good dollars and turned the
same into the treasury Saturday.

IN THE SPRING

will be the great test of a life and death
struggle on the Western front. In the
everyday walks of life, it is the spring
time that brings i'll health. One of the
chief reasons why the rundown man
finds himself in a bad state of health in
March or April, is because he has spent
nearly all his hours for the past four or
of house, factory or Office. 1t is the rea-
son for our diminished resistance-that
is, lack of outdoor life, coupled with
perhaps over-eating, lack of good exer-
else, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding the
furnace with food but do not take out
the "clinkers," and our fire does not burn
brightly. Always keep the liver active.
There is nothing better for health than
taking an occasional mild laxative, per-
haps once a week; such a one as you
can get at any drug store, made up of
May-apple, jalap, aloes, (sugarcoated,
tiny, easily taken J, which has stood the
test Of fifty years Of approval[namely,
pr D: Pierce PieEee,s p Pleasant s. at Pellets But for
condition, the lack of ambition, the
'blues," one should take a course of
treatment every spring; such a standard
tonic as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, now to be had in tablet form in
sixty-cent walls. Watch the people go
Flooding along the street. There's no
spring, no vitality. A vitalizing tonic such
as this vegetable extract of DR.. Pierce's
gives you the power to force yourself into
action. The brain responds to the new
blood in circulation, and thus you're ready
to make a fight against s~tagnation which
holds you in bondage. Try It now! Don't
waiti Today is the day to begin. Gain a
little pep" and laugh and live. Vim and
vitality are the natural out-pouring of a
healthy body. 1t does not spring up in a
night. Try this spring tonic, and you gain
the courage that comes with good health.

ROLL STEEL FOR S215 WEEK
Many Workers in St. Louis Mills Av.
erage $1,000 a Year, Off
ciaI Says.

st. Louis.-Rollers employed at the
st. Louis and Granite City plants of
tho National Enameling and Stamping
company are making as much as $215
a week, working eight hours a day, an
official of the company said.
He explained that rollers were paid
on a tonnage basis, and that such a fig
ure was unusual, but estimated that
many of the IT'S rollers employed in
the two plants average $4,000 to $1,000
a year.
Rolling steel is one of the forms Of
labor requiring the highest degree OF
skill, although men sometimes serve
their apprenticeship in three or four
years. The work consists of superin-
tending the heating of steel bars that
are to be rolled, adjusting the rolls
and feeding the steel into them.
