Battle Hymn OF The
Ordnance

Tune Battle Hymn of the Republic.
My eyes have seen the building of a
hundred army camps,
We have built the kitchen fire by the
DIM and flaring lamps;
/ have heard the frightful whistle call
ing us to do fighting
While We go marching on.
They have sent US on guard duty in the
evening dew and damps.
And our hearts are very heavy when
the old top sergeant stamps,
Filling US with thoughts of labor doing
policing and X. r.,
While we go marching on.
BE quick my lads to answer and the
spade and shovel take,
For our dear old duty sergeant will
follow in your wac.
Bring out your old blue denims and the
street proceed to rake,
While we go marching on.
This war will soon be over and our
labor gladly done,
And the good old smiling private will
brighten as the sun.
For to him the darned old whistle will
cease to make him run,
While we go marching on.

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman'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 SUBJ
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 is 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.

UP TO AMERICA TO WIN WAR
Collapse of Russia Places the Burden
of Eliminating the Hun on Shout
ders of the Yanks.

Daily 1t grows more certain that the
world war is to be fought till one side
or the other is PROSTATE. The war
would have been over months ago if
Russia had not collapsed; but with
treason in the cars cabinet and lun-
acy and stupidity peryading the Rus
STA proletariat, that mighty empire of
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 n 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
If Germany shall succeed in her pres
ent intentions she will he as complete
mistress of the world as it now is
known as the Rome of Julius Caesar

known on the eve of the Christian era.

Almost all popular cradle songs are
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 a nat
urai growth than a human invention.
In all the melodies, observes wri-
ter, there is certain likeness of
rhythm with national, might say a
temperamental difference of movement
and 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
istics of the people among whom they
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 mere meaningless jun
