They shall throng the room where the

The innocent dead from the sea shall

And over his shoulder boy shall look

You may guard the doors of that

But the dead unbidden shall enter
there and never you'll shut them
out.
And the man that died in the open
boat. and the babes that suffer
ed worse,
Shall sit at the table when peace Is
made by the side of a mariyred
nurse
You may see them not but they'll all
bee there. when they speak you
may fail to hear
You may think that you're making
your pacts alone. but their spir-

And whatever the terms of the peace

lou must please not only the living

Work and Play.

Variation of types of work properly
adjusted will often substitute for what
is generally known as play, says the
New York Times. For instance, ones
brain center may become weary at
monotonous occupation, and q decided
change of occupation, Notwithstanding
It be what we usually call work, Will
hermit the first brain center involved
to rest while another works. But we
come back to the fact that what most
people regard as play is an occupation
that they are not required to perform
and, it would seem from a psycholog-
lcal standpoint to give greater rest II
1t be an occupation that is particularly
useless from the standpoint of produc-
ing economic results. Therefore there
should be time set aside in the work
of the day, no matter whether 1t be
varied or not, when the environment
may be changed and play should be
taken up.

ALL MEN AT HOME SHOULD
PREPARE FOR WAR

The first test a man is put thru for
either war or life insurance is an exami-
nation of his water. This Is most essen"
tial because the kidneys play most Inn
portant part In causing premature old age
and death. The more Injurious the pois-
ons passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay-so says DR.. Pierce of Sur
gical Institute. Buffalo. NY, who further
advises all people who are past thirty to
preserve the vitality OF the kidneys and
free the blood from poisonous elements,
such as uric acid-drink plenty of water
sweat some daily and take Anuric, double
strength, before meals.
This An-u-rlc is a late discovery OF DR..
Pierce and is put up in tablet form, and
can be obtained for 60c at almost any
drug store. For that backache, lumbago,
rheumatism, rusty" joints, swollen feet
or hands, due to uric acid in the blood,
Anuric quickly dissolves the uric acid as
hot water does sugar. Take a little An
uric before meals and live to be a hum
dred. Send 10 cents to DR.. Pierce for trial

TWO NOTED RIVERS
TagIlamento and Livenza Become
Important in Italy.
One Stream Of No Value Commercially,
While the Other Is Known for
Many Tributaries.

The National Geographic society at |
Washington has issued the following |
war geography bulletins on the Taglia.
mento and Livenza rivers, mentioned
In the cable dispatches concerning the
German drive into Italy:
"The Tagliamento river, whose food
ed banks served as q rampant for the
retreatlng Italians for only few days,
and which was crossed by the Austro-
German forces, is a stream Of no value
commercially. 1t is one Of many small
rivers rising in the Carnic Alps and
flowing through the Venetian plain into
the Adriatlc. Its headwaters are
near Mount Clapsavon, about sixty-hve
miles northwest of it's entrance into
the Adriatic, but the course Of the
stream is meandering flowing first to
the east and then south through a
marshy valley, thus traversing a dis
tance Of 100 miles.
"Just 120 years ago the Tagliamento
figured prominently in another great
military campaign in northern Italy. It
was during Napoleon's campaign of
| 1897 that re-enforcements were greatly
needed by the French. Bernadotte,
who afterward was placed by Napoleon
on the throne Of Sweden as Charles
XIV, led his army with signal dispatch
from the banks of the Rhine to his
commander in chief and at the pas
sage of the Tagllamento won enduring
distinction.
'"The Tagliamento passes no import
ant cities of Venetia. The most import
ant Of the small towns that squat upon
its marshy banks are Venzone, 20 miles
by rail from the Austro-Italian frontier
Spilimbergo and Latisana. The last
named is equldistant from Venice and
Trieste on the 100-mile railway which
connects these two important cities.
The Tagllamento flows 10 miles to the
west Of Udine, the first italian city of
Importance to fall before the onrushing
Teutonlc forces In the present often
sive.
"In ancient times the Tagliamento
was known as Tilaventus.
1.-THE Livenza, like the Tagliamento
is one Of many streams which rise In
the Carnic Alps and flow through the
! delta region Of Venetia. Its course Is
not more than seventy-tive miles II
length, but 1t has numerous tributaries
: chief among those on the east being
the MEDINA, the Fiume and the Sile
> while the Monticano and the Meschlt
are affluents of the west bank. Tit
l point at which the Livenza mingles II
: waters with the Adriatic is only Y
miles northeast of Italy's priceless
Jewel city, Venice.
"The plain lying between the paral
lei courses of the Tagliamento and tn
4 Livenza is dotted with Italian town
of great historic and art interest. Chic
d, among these are Pordenone, probabl
the Pontus Naonis of the ancients, bu

WHY POORLY MANAGED CITIES
lneffieient officials Placed In Charge
Of Affairs Of Which They Know
Nothing, Extravaganza Follows.

A big city-whose affairs, says the
Chicago Post, are more complex than
those Of any private corporation;
whose revenues and expenditures are
counted In many millions; whose ad-
ministration affects the prosperity,
health and morals Of million or more
people-selects from among Its citi-
zens a politician, good fellow, Joiner,
and makes him Its mayor. He ap-
points to Office men Of his own kind,
chosen for personal or political rea-
sons.
And then we wonder that extrava-
gance, inefTiciency and worse mark mu-
nicipal government.
A big city puts on its council ward
politicians and individuals who have
never displayed a capacity for any use
full occupation, and we wonder that
the public interest Is neglected.
A big city puts on its school board
men who have no knowledge Of edu-
cational problems, and we wonder that
our schools are mismanaged.
1t is the inefficiency Of democracy,
we say. Rather, 1t is the stupidity OF
people who have never tried to realize
the possibilities of democracy; who
have never given democracy chance.
1t is no essential principle of democ-
racy to ignore the necessity Of training
for service. But that is what we have
been doing. We persist in regarding
public position as political jobs rather
than as occasions for the employment
Of trained men in the doing of highly
specialized work.
Mayor Mitchell of, New York declares
1t to be his experience that trained
men are practically unobtainable fol

main true until we provide for theil
training and create a popular demand
for their service.

LESSON FROM THE INDIANS
Natives Made Bread From Nuts and
Other Products Of the Forests
That Still Exist.

Germany has sent her children to
the forests for oils that are badly
needed in the fatherland. Mere tots
are employed to pick up beechnuts,
which are rich in nutritious qualities
vital to the health of the nation. II
America is ever compelled by a great
food shortage to return to nature, the
present inhabitants of :Ge United
States will do well, according to the
forest service of the department OF
agriculture, to take a lesson from the
original owners of the soil, Thomas f.
Logan writes in Leslie's. The forests
of this country offer an amazing va
riety of edibles. Americas beechnuts,
butternuts, walnuts, pecans, chinqua-
pins and hazelnuts are toothsome,
highly nutritious, and may be used
as a substitute for meat.
The Indians, according to forest
service experts, mixed chestnuts with
cornmeal and made bread which was
baked in corn husks, like tamales. Oul
redskin predecessors also manufac
tured flour from the fruit of the oak
They pounded the acorns and leache6
out the tannin by treating the pull
withhot water. The result was pala
table and nOurishing bread. Pin'
seeds, wild perslmmons, wild crab ap
pies, bulbs of the Judas tree and pod
of the honey locust, cabbage, palmetto
mesquite and sassafras are excellen
substitutes for cultivated fruits ant
vegetables. Nature is so prodigal o
her riches in this country that Americ
can never be starved to death by al
"lron ring"
