Life Of Man With Respect to Calls

At first he is a child, and is taken
to call by his mother, and he "just sits
on a chair" But sometimes in that
family there is another child-it may
be boy child or girl child; and so.
presently, he finds a little playmate.
and begins to play, until his mother
decides IT is time the call was over,
and she takes him home. Then he
grows older; he makes calls all by him
self; and so impressed Is he (being at
the impressionable age) by the satis-
faction derived from certain of these
calls that he marries the young wom-
an, God willing, and makes the call
permanent. After that, his wife takes
him to call and he Just sits on
chair" But It sometimes happens,
even as when he was a child, that he
finds q little playmate; and then, when
all Is we'll and he has quite forgotten
that he is making a can, his wife de-
cides 1t is time that the call was over.
And she takes him home.-From the

War as a Beautifier.

A doctor told me the other day that
the war is doing one good thing at
least in teaching the nations how much
better off they are with less food than
they used to eat. He meant that they
were more healthy, but there is ahoth-
er side to it. Much of the adipose It's
sue which has caused us middle-aged
women to look older than we want to
is the result of Overeating. Eat what
your need, exercise all you can, keep
your mind awake and keep young-

The Kaiser's Talk To He'll

The Kaiser called the Devil up
On the telephone one day.
The girl at Central listened to
All they had to say.
Hello" she heard the Kaiser say,
is old man Satan home
Just tell him it is Kaiser Bill
That wants him on the phone"
The Devil said Hello" to Bill,
And Bill said How are you
I'm running here on earth a hell;
Now tell me what to do"
What can l do the Devil said,
My dear old Kaiser Bill;
If there's anything that l can do
To help you l sure will"
The Kaiser said: Now listen,
And | will try to tell
The way that L am running
On earth a modern hell.
| saved for this for many years,
And I've started out to kill;
That it will be modern job,
You leave it to Kaiser Bill.
My army went through Belgium,
Shooting women and children
down,
We tore up all her country
And blew up every town.
My ZeppS dropped bombs on cities,
Killing both old and young,
And those the Zeppelins didn't get
Were taken out and hung.
l started out for Paris
With the aid of poisonous gas.
The Belgians, darn 'em, stopped me,
And wouldn't let me pass.
My submarines are devils,
Why, you should see them fight;
They go sneaking through the sea
And will sink a ship on sight.
l was running things to suit me
Till a year or so ago,
When a man called Woodrow Wilson
Told me to go more slow.
He says to me: Dear William,
l don't want to make you sore,
So be sure to tell your U-boatS
To sink our ships no more.
We have told you for the last time,
So, dear Bill, it's up to you,
And if you do not stop it
You'll have to fight us too
did not listen to him,
And he's coming after me
With million Yankee soldiers
From their homes across the sea.
Now, that's why 1 called you, Satan,
For l want advice from you;
know that you will Tell me,
Just what l ought to do"
My dear old Kaiser Bill,
There's not much to tell,
For the Yanks will make it hotter
Than | can for you in hell.
I've been a mean old devil,
But not half as mean as you,
And the minute that you get here
| will give my job to you.
I'll be ready for your coming,
And I'll keep the fires all bright,
And I'll have your room all ready,
When the Yanks begin to fight.
For the boys in blue will get YOU
l have nothing more to tell;
Hang up the phone and get your hat
And meet me here in hell"
Amen.

Constipation And Indigestion.

These are twin evils. Persons suf-

troubled with constipation. Mrs.

that when she first moved to Mat

Indigestion and constipation. Food

We Shall Remember Them

(By James Terry White, of The
Vigilantes.)
They sleep beneath no immemorial
yeWS;
Their resting place no temple ar
ches hem;
No blazoned shaft or craven tablet
wooS
Mems praise-and yet, we shall
remember them.
The unforgetting clouds shall drop
their tears;
The winds in ceaseless lamenta-
ton, wall,
For Gods white Knights are lying
on their biers, y
Who pledged their service r.
store the Grail.
They gave their lives to make~the
whole world free;
They rocked not to what flag they
were assigned;
The Starry Banner, Cross, or Fleur-
de-lis-
Their sacrifice was made for all
mankind.
For them the task is done, the strife
is stilled;
No more shall care disturb, nor
zeal condemn;
And when the larger good has been
fulfilled,
In coming years we shall remem-
Der them.
How can the world their deeds for
get? In France
White crosses everywhere life pal
lid hands,
Like silent sentinels with sword and
lance,
To keep their memory safe for
other lands.
What need have they for holy sepul-
ture?
Within the hearts of men is hal
lowed ground
A sanctuary where they rest secure.
And with Loves Immortality are
crowned.
And far-off voices of the future sing,
They shall remain in memory's
diadem;'
And winds of promise still are whis-
pering
That same refrain, I'VE shall re-
member them"

the War Work Club Rooms on North
Palafox street are thrown open for
the entertainment Of the service men,
and the principal part of the pro-
gram is generally a candy pulling.
On last Tuesday, the crowd was
certainly a record breaking one. for it
is said that over three hundred men
were entertained up there during the
evening, and certainly nobody who saw
the crowd in the rooms at any one
time could doubt the statement

and when 1t was found that the crowd
was of larger dimensions than could
well be entertained with simple candy

formed, from which each man received
orders as to which room he was to
stay in for the evening, some being
sent to the kitchen to pull the candy,
while the others were told off to the

MEMORY
BY RERToN BRALEY.

remember, / remember
The days that used to be
When porterhouse was eighteen cents
And soup bones given free;
When milk was five cents by the quart
And butter twenty -four
And bacon fifteen cents pound
In those brave days Of yore.
I remember, I remember
When one could hire a maid
For three or four or five a week
And when she came, she stayed
But now they are a naughty clan
Who cost you eight or nine
Who come to you at ten O'Clock
And then at noon-resign.
l remember, remember
When gentle working men
Would come whene'er you asked them
For life was simpler then,
But now, although your pipes are burst
And troubles leave you vexed
You cannot get bit of help
Until week after next.
remember, I remember
ooh why must visions fade)
When there was sugar sold to all
And coal men sought your trade,
But now the times are altered
And there is little joy
In thinking OF how cheap things were
When I was but a boy!

stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest;
Home keeping hearts are happiest,
For those that wander they know not
where
Are full of trouble and full Of care:
To stay at home is best.
Weary and homesick and distressed,
They wander east, they wander west,
And are baffled and beaten and blown
about
BY the winds Of the wilderness OF
doubt;
To stay at home is best.
Then stay at home, my heart, and
rest;
The bird is safest in it's meet;
Ger all that fiutter their wings and
fly
A hawk is lowering in the sky;
To stay at home is best.
