In Praise Of Music.

Music adds nothing but good; sub
tracts the evil; multiplies that which
we already have; discounts our all
ments and compounds all of our inter-
est. If you believe this is true, "push"
music. Aid the choir, choral and or
chestral societies. Sympathize with
and in every way support public
school music.
A foreign traveller in our country
said he was deeply impressed with our
sflences. He heard no reapers sing
ing in the field, he heard many a bird
carol, but no human songs. That re-
minds me Of the old saying: BLESSED
is the man who sings at his work."
Take an interest in creating q musi-
cal atmosphere in the home, and soon
America will be singing and we shall
be able to take in music not only by
the small channel Of the ear, but
through every pore Of our bodies
straight to the root Of our souls.-The
Musician.

First Veterinary COLLEGE.

The first school Of veterinary medi-
cine In the world was opened in 1912
at Lyons, France, by Claude Bourge-
lat. Originally lawyer, he abandoned
that profession after having gained an
unjust suit for client, and devoted
himself to the study of the disease of
animals. The school NE established
soon received the title Of the "royal
school" and became famous through
out Europe. AS youth Berglat had
served in a cavalry regiment and this
was the beginning Of his love for
horses. The London Veterinary COL

GOVERNOR STARTS CAMPAIGN
MONDAY AR WAUKESHA

Gov. Philip will probably open his
campaign for denomination Monday
night at Waukesha. 1t was intended
by the governor to open his campaign
| this week, but the serious illness OF
his daughter Josephine caused a de-
lay IN his plans in this regard. 1t may
| be also that some other southern Wis
consin city may be chosen by the
governor for the initial address of his
campaign, but if possible the speech
| will be delivered at Waukesha be-
| cause OF the fact that the governor
would like to open his campaign this
! time in the same place where his
initial campaign speech was delivered,
he having opened his first campaign
for the Republican gubernatorial nom
inatiOn in Waukesha.
The initial address of the governor
will be of more than ordinary inter-
est, as in his speech he will go quite
carefully into the results of his admin
lstration as governor and especially
in the history of his present term. In
the address he will also give an ac-
count OF the war work which has been
accomplished by the state since the
declaration of war against Germany.
The governor will devote very little
OF his speech to what can be termed
politics and with the exception of a
few suggestions which he will make
in regard to legislation on some sub
ject upon which he thinks the legisla-
ture next winter should act, his ad-
dress will contain little which can be
considered to be of really political
character.
The governor thinks the voters of
wisconsin have a right to know and
should know what has really been &C
complished by this state in the sup
port Of the government in it's war en-
Urgency and for this reason he will
devote quite a portion of his address
to detailing carefully the accomplish
ments which have placed Wisconsin
in the front rank of the states as an
aid to the government in it's war
From WaukeSha the governor will
start on as extended a tour Of the
state as the time between now and the
primary election will permit He will

GOSPEL MEETING DISCOURSE
ATTRACTS LARGE AUDIENCE

The subject of the discourse given
by Evangelist Johnson at the Cotton
Tabernacle, corner Seventh and Dodge
streets, Wednesday evening was "The
Great Image"
This simple yet wonderfully COM
prehensive chain of prophecy is found
in the second chapter of Daniel. Now
opens one of the sublimest chapters
of human history. Eight short verses
of the inspired record tell the whole
story; yet that story embraces the
history of the worlds pomp and pow
er A few moments will suffice to
commit it to memory; yet the period
which it covers, commencing more
than twenty-five centuries ago, reach
es on from that far-distant point past
the rise and fall of kingdoms, past the
setting up and overthrow of empires,
past cycles and ages, past our own
day, over into the eternal state It is
SO comprehensive that it embraces all
this; yet it is so minute that it gives
us all the great outlines of earthly
Kingdoms from that time to this. HUI
man wisdom never devised so brief a
record which embraced so much. HUI
man language never set forth in so
rev words, so great volume of his
torical truth. The finger of God is
here
This metallic image consisted of a
head of gold, breast and arms of sill
yer, sides of brass, legs of iron, and
feet and toes part of iron and part of
miry clay; symbolizing the four uni
versal Kingdoms of earth, viz: Baby
lon, MedO-Persia, Grecia and Rome.
the feet and toe representing the di
vided state of the world as it has ex-
listed ever since A. d. 483 when the
Roman kingdom was broken into ten
parts.
In this dream first given to Nebuch-
adeuzzar OF the great image, we have
III symbolic language, a very concise,
prophetic history of the four universal
Kingdoms and the divided state of ma
lions, reaching down to the end. The
last phase of the image, the feet and
toes, part of iron and part of potter's
clay, is now in existence.
In the dream, stone was seen to
be- cut out of the mountain without
hands, which smote the image on it's
feet and broke the entire image to
pieces. And it was all swept away.
the pieces even were not found, and
the, stone became a great mountain
and filled the whole earth. When
Christs kingdom of glory is fully set
up here, it will fill the whole earth
Then this petition in the Lords prayer
will be fully answered. "Thy kingdom,
come, thy will be done on earth as it
is in heaven"

Hint to Mothers.

Let us never be like the mother who
said her boy was not interested in any
thing. For the boys teacher when
she called noticed that he had box
which he seemed to take care of, and
it was not long before she learned
that it was a collection of caterpillars.
Yet the mother said that her boy was
interested in nothing. The teacher at
once showed her pupil that she, too,
was interested in his collection. She
learned from the boy a great many
things about caterpillars that she did
not know, and in turn taught him
things he did not know. Teacher and
boy became great friends; through
this common interest others sprang up
and the boy changed from a sullen
fnattentive boy to a broad-minded,
wide-awake man. If the mother could
only have shared her boys interest,
how much more helpful they would
have been to each other.-Pittsburgh

Battery b, 31st Field Artillery, en-

when 1t had the honor of receiving
as it's commander Capt. Fairfax Land

best railroad presidents and among
New York's wealthiest citizens. 1t
came into further distinction Satur-
day. when the battery's first dinner
dance was given in the barracks in

themselves beyond a doubt. Many

and were immensely pleased. Maj.

were present and led the way in the
dancing. 1t was democratic enter

Lieut.. Walker and Lieut.. Lafoon
were instrumental in obtaining the
services of the b block Jazz band of
colored players. These lads perform
ed in their best style. and not the
least of the doing Of The Washboard
Blues" was the buck dancing, during
which the chief entertainer was show
cred with coins. For every coin the
dancer did a new wrinkle; of which
there appeared to be no end.
Sergt. Smith produced dinner that
was worthy of the best caterers, and
nobody was displeased, because there
were more gallons of ice cream than
were actually needed. Private Bor-
den sang and Private Saunders danced,
which added to the gayety.

Methods Of modern warfare have
eliminated one more romantic fea-
ture of battle An Army order just is
sued by the War Department announces
changes in drill regulations which pro-
hibit the use of bugle signals during an
engagement.
The danger of the bugie message, not
reaching all the troops, as well as the
grave possibility that the enemy would
be well versed in calls and would know
what to expect, are the reasons for the
change.

D-HUT NOTES.

1t has been said that DR.. Cabaniss
had a star staff of secretaries at ID
hut. This fact has been proven by
the various activities that came off
at the nut this past week.
Recreation Secretary Clay, who is
but four feet nine inches tail, and
every inch of that height seems to be
made of elastic, has proven himself
to be an Al athletic man. At any
rate, it seems SO from the fact of
the many big athletic games that are
pulled OFF every day in the d area.

the house? II so, report to the desk.

very sleepy this morning.

Secretary Manson-what were you
doing?
Soidier-Playing some games with
my friends.
Secretary Manson-Did your officer
know that you were out?
Soldier-Yes, but he didn't know
Just how much L was out!
Social Secretary Lee must have
brought with him to Camp Meade all
the sew-shall from Tarrytown. He
certainly has the goods and he knows
lust how and when to present it.
