They have grown, brOadened, devel-

have sounded the depths and risen to
spiritual heights. They no longer are
of narrow vision or insular ideas.
THEY KNOW THE RIGHT. THEY
HAVE FOUGHT FOR THE RIGHT.
THEY ARE GOING TO WANT

soldier has obtained. 1t ranges from
the shoes he wears-he knows now the
virtue of Il common sense shoe and
the vice Of, a toothpick-toGdIeGn narrow

never in the world has been such a
school house for the American young
man as this war has furnished. The
dOughboy has been learning from text
books and from observation from the
day he entered the army.
But the broadening of his mind has
been not so great as the stirring of his
spirit and the elevation Of his soul. He
is not provincial American any long
err but man who thinks and sees in
terms international. ..-
The war has made the American sol

After our civil war the soldiers went
forth and gave to America the empire

They laid the foundations for the nigh

The soldier who comes out of this
war will be far better equipped mental

soldier of the civil war. He will seek
to blaze the way to greater develop

harness the living streams and make
them work and furnish energy to re-

will ribbon the nation with roads that

ME-. CHURCH is
PLANNING FOR
NEW CAMPAIGN
Problems Which Must Be Met
With Close of War to Be
Discussed Here

1.-The Methodist Episcopal church,
along with several other leading pro.
testant denominations. is determined
that III shall not be found wanting in
the reconstruction days." said Rev. C.
E. Vermilya, superintendent of the
Bismarck district of the M. E. church.
in announcing plans for a reconstruct
ton conference in this city next week.
Its leaders and membership" con-
tinued Rev. Vermilya, ''have become
convinced that the signing of the arml-
will be no guarantee Of a better world
unless provision is made for a wider
acceptance of then spirit Of the Christ
as the2 true basis for all social and
political procedure. The spirit that
will make war impossible and pre-
serve peace is none other than the
spirit that has learned to love the
neighbor somewhat as one loves him
self.
\ "In accordance with this convic-
ton, the Methodist church has launch
ed a great movement for the speedy
regeneration Of the world Before
the United States had declared war,
arrangements were made for celebratr
ing the hundredth anniversary of the
organization of the missionary society
of the church, which involved great
forward move. The coming Of the
,war, has made the need more clear
and, The conviction more certain. To-
day the whole church is mobilizlng its
forces. ,,,..t... .'>..,... .-
every church is to be organized for
greater efficiency. Prayer, steward
ship, information and life service are
to be emphasized with renewed force.
An army of minute men is to be rals-
ed up, men who will be ready to
speak and work for the salvation or
men everywhere. The democracy OF
Christ that stands through, unselflsh
hearts is to be the goal.
Next Tuesday night, December o.
a team of leaders will reach BISMARCK
for a meeting Of the ministers ana

Of this church. This meeting has 1or

,ary, movement in this section vi the

TILE cHiLD's CONSCIENCE.

4Happy spirits in a grownup proceed
from a clear conscience, "a SENSE Of
self respect, plus sense Of the APP
prevail of the world around him for
which he cares. Az
child has no conscience except
the APPROVAL of it's mother and it's faith
er. If the mother teaches the child
one thing, and the father says anoth-
er. the child grows a conscience with
two branches which conflict with each
other. and which eventually tear the
child's heart and the childs mind un-
til he does not know his own mind,
does not know what is right or wrong
and consequently follows the impulse
of the moment, in a kind of reckless
devil-may-care spirit. This is the be-
ginning and the method of going
wrong"
No ,grownup can have happy spirits
while he is living contrary to his con.
science; no child. can have happy
spirits while he is living under the
CONDEMNATION of either or both
parents. .s... ~
1t is absolutely impossible for a

child to come up right, in happy
spirits-the kind of spirits that make
him know the right and choose it and
rejfioice in it, ana grow in wisdom
and in knowledge OF himself and his
world-no child can develop happy
spirits in family jar.
. The first duty OF parents is to find
a POINT OF AGREEMENT on gen.
eral policies, and when it comes to the
application of those policies, the par
ents MUST back up each other, stand
by each other; remembering that the
one who has started the particular
piece of discipline in question is the
one who has the right Of way
The differences between parents
must be worked out in private, where
no little pitchers can possibly hear;
and they must be administered with
unanimity as we'll as equanimity.-

How To Fight
Spanish Influenza
Ry Dr W Powors


Avoid crowds, coughs and towards,
but fear neither germs nor Germans!
Keep the system in good order, take
plenty of exercise in the fresh air and
practice cleanliness. Remember
clean mouth, clean skin, and clean
bowels are protecting armor against
disease. To keep the liver and bowels
regular and to carry away the poisons
within, it is best to take al vegetable
pill every other day, made up Of May
apples, aloes, jalap, and sugar coated,
to be had at most drug stores, known
Jas DR.. Pierce's. Pleasant Pellets. If
there is sudden onset of what ap-
pears like hard cold, one should go
to bed, wrap warm, take hot must
ard foot bath and drink copiously of
hot lemonade. If pain develops in head
or back, ask the druggist for Anuric
(anti-uric) tablets. These will flush
the bladder and kidneys and carry off
poisonous germs. To control the pains
and aches take one Anuric tablet every
two hours, with frequent drinks Of
lemonade. The pneumonia appears in
most treacherous way, when the in
fiuenza victim is apparently recover
ing and anxious to leave his bed. In
recovering from bad attack Of in
fluenza the system should be built up
with good herbal tonic, such as DIR.

WEEDS

AL! through the war we've been told to save the
little things-the peach stones and the cherry
pits and the old scraps of rubber and iron and
table leavings and on. We've been told to save
food by utilizing weeds as substitutes-as pig
weed green's, for example
Now that the war is ended in one phase, this
type of counsel is likely to vanish from among u.s..
And it's pity, too. For if we don't eat or other
wise use up our abundant weed crop it will 60 on

CLAXTONISM

So Phander Priestly Claxton, United States
commissioner of education is of the same opinion
STILL is he? Planning to force the study Of Ger
man/language and literature in American schools
from the 9TH grade upward, is he?
Evidently he thinks Americans are very stupid
or very forgetfu
American boys and girls aren't going to study
German in the public schools.
This revulsion against German and German
ism was and IS no passing hysteria.
German can't come back while the Annerica4
nation remembers the German campaign Of arson
and murder and treason in this country; while the
memory Of the Lusitania survives; while a Grip
pied, SCARED survivor of the war lives in Amer

to be kept green.

Nature wastes nothing. The leaf that falls be-

There is no such thing as really Hopeless ex-

Stances of "come-backs,' lots of them.
Twisted and broken men, men twisted and brok-

Great War, are coming across seas to us.
They are not to be considered objects Of char
ity. They are heroes.
They are not useless, not hopeless.
