CRADLE SONGS ARE ANCIENT
Words often Seem Meaningless Jum-
BILE; Melody Always Within Com
pass Of Home Voices.

Almost all popular cradle songs are
very old, some of them so old that,
were they not familiar, they might be
considered the veriest curiOSities OF
literature. Through all the changes
of language they have held their own
upon the lips and in the hearts of the
people. From mouth to mouth they
have come down through the years
with an irresistible swing Of rhythm
and patter and Jingle of words till
they seem to have been rather nat
ural growth than q human invention.
In all the melodies, observes wri-
ter, there is a certain likeness of
rhythm with a national, might say o
temperamental difference Of movement
and a meter from the slow assured
major of the German to the wild plain
tive minor of the Scotch, characterized
by the short accented notes or the
weirdness Of the Hungarian with its
sudden changes.
That these old songs should have
embodied and retained the character
AotiSS VI Tie pcopic uiHohS Whohi IiSy
originated gives them an Importance
which their crude words and the ele-
mentary character of their melodies
scarcely seem to warrant. The words
often seem a mere meaningless jum-
Bile, the melody is always within the
easy compass Of home voices. No
doubt both express, In some supernally
wise way, the one unalterable senti.
ment of maternal love.

THE MAKING Of
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Wcman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes In
contact with the medicine 10 sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine Is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t Is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
SO successful in the treatment OF
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use OF
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

Daily ii grows more certain that the
world war is to be fought TIL one side

would have been over months ago If
Russia had not collapsed; but with
treason in the cars cabinet and lun-
acs and stupidity pervading the Rus
STA proletariat, that mighty empire NJ
the north became an inert and impo-
tent mass at the mercy of Germany.
And as for Russia, her fate will be
determined by the world congress that
will write the peace when the war is
over. 1t will be about the mightiest
job human statecraft ever undertook
and an impossible Job unless Germany
or the entente is then as helpless as
Russia is now.
With the western front reinforced
by the millions of veterans Germany
had in Russia. the German people have
become as confident of victory as they
were when the first gun was fired. At
this moment Germany, rulers and peo-
pie alike, feel assured as to the out
come. There is a determination to
annex all of Belgium, all of France
now held by the German armies and
all Of the possessions Of Belgium and
France In Africa. Discussion is now
going on in the German press as to
the amount of the money indemnity
the enemy shall pay. Already Russia
Is carved by the German sword And
II Germany shall succeed in her pres
ent intentions she viii be as complete
mistress Of the world as it now is
known as the Rome of julius Caesar

No Victory in Defense.

Our first axiom must De tHat "
achieve It's object a battle must not be
purely defensive. A purely defensive
battle, even we'll conducted, does not
result in q victor and yanquished. Ii
Is simply a game that must be begun
over again.
"FrOm this it is an obvious corollary
that an offensive, whether started at
the beginning of an action or whether
1t follows the defensive, can only give
results and, in consequence, must al
ways be adopted at the finish.
''To maintain our position is not
Synonymous with being victorious and
even prepares for defeat. If we re-
main where we are and do not pass to
the offensive TO fix the direction of at
tack, to guard against the plans of the
enemy, and prevent him from carrying
out the same maneuver, we must nn-
dertake to carry on and sustain numef-
Gus combats, each with determined
aim.
All Depends on Reserve.
But since there remains no doubt
that decisive attack Is the very key
stone of battle, all other actions
which make up a battle must be ell
visaged, considered, organized, pro-
vided with forces in the measure in
which they will prepare. facilitate, and
guarantee development of a decisive
attack characterized by its mass, it's
surprise, it's speed, and for which, in
consequence, it is essential that there
shall be the maximum reserve force
possible of troops of maneuver.
The reserve-that is to say, the
prepared bludgeon-is organized and
kept carefully instructed to execute
the single act of battle from which re-
suits are expected-namely. the de-
cisive attack.
Surprise, Mass and Speed.
Reserves must be husbanded with
the most extreme parsimony so that
the bludgeOn may be strong enough to
make the blow as violent as possible.
Let loose at the finish, without any
lurking idea of saving them, with
well thought out plan for winning the
battle at a point chosen and deter
mined, reserves are thrown in all to-
gether in an action surprising in VIC
lence and energy all other phases of
battle, an action with proper charac-
teristics-surprise, mass, and speed.
All our forces really participate. either
by preparing it or by carrying it out.
"In this, our supreme aim, we must
not be deceived by appearances. AL
though theory fails when applied by
feeble hands and when. accessories OBJ
scure the main principle, history and
reason show us that in battle there is
u single argument which is worth while
namely, decisive attack, which is
alone capable of assuring the desired
result--the overthrow of the adver-
sary."
