The editor of The Diamond Drill on
Wednesday received the following
poem sent to us by an Alpha boy, Pie.
James Duffey who is now at Camp
Macarthur. Waco. Texas.
Let Him Live.
AS long as flowers their perfume
give.
so ding I'd let the kaiser live
Live and live for a million years.
with nothing to drink but Belgian
tears.
With nothing to quench his awful
thirst
but the brine of a scotchman's curse.
i would let him live on dinner each
day.
Served from silver on a golden tray
Served with things both dainty and
sweet
Served with all but things to eat.
And I'd make him a bed OF silken
i sheen,
With costly linens to lie between.
with covers Of down and filets OF lace,
And downy pillows piled In place;
Yet when TO its comfort he would
yield.
1t should stink with rot OF the battle
field,
And blood and bones and brains OF
men
should cover him. smother him-and
then
His pillows should clog with rotten
cli.y--
Clay from the grave OF Soldier boy.
And while Gods stars their vigils keep
And while the ways the white sands
sweep,
He should never, never sleep.
And thru all the days. thru all the
years,
There should be an anthem in his
ears,
Ringing and singing and never done
From the edge Of light to the set OF
sun,
Moaning and moaning and moaning
wild
The moan of ravaged French girls
childl
And I'd build him castle by the sea-
AS lovely castle as ever could be;
Then I'd show him.a ship from over
the sea,
AS fine ship as ever could be,
Laden with water, cold and sweet,
Laden with everything good to eat;
Yet scarce does she touch the silver
ed sands
Than hot and hellish molten shell
should change his heaven into a hell,
And thou he'd watched on the wave
swept shore,
Our Lusitania would rise no more.
In No Mans Land, where the Irish
fell,
I'D start the kaiser TO a private hell;
I'd jab him. stab him, give him gas;
In every wound I'd pour ground glass;
I'd march him out where the brave
boys died
out past the lads they cruciied.
In the fearful gloom OF his living
tomb.
There is one thing I'd do before was
through:
I'd make him sing, in stirring man
ner,
The wonderful words Of "The Star
spangled Banner"

Best Gowns Are
Still in Favor

New YOrk.-It is impossible to avoid
bitter discussion on the question of en-
tertaining our soldiers and sailors. AS
this struggle progresses. writes fash
ion correspondent, it may be that the
entire social fabric will cease to rend
itself apart with personal and national
arguments for and against people, in
and out of power, institutions for the
good of the cause, and the various
phases of money expenditure that have
arisen in the last year.
Anyone who goes about in various
sectors of sOciety--und by that is
meant the grouping of people for all
purposes, not alone gayety-begins to
feel that the hate which is engendered
on the battlefield has its reflection in
the minds of those who are not in the
struggle, except on the side-lines.
A Civil war veteran says that this
pitching of women into the public
arena, with its alleged bad effect on
their tempers and temperaments, has
nothing to do with the situation; that
the Civil war engendered the same kind
of personal animOSities. Yet the Civil
and sacrifice, which necessarily af-
fected the personal lives of everyone
In America more than this war has
done-did not throw women together
In groups of thousands.
Is it odd, therefore, in this rather
mAlevolent turn which emotions have
taken during a year of war, that the
question of entertaining our soldiers
should be thrown into the arena Of
argument?
Reason for Brilliant costumery.
Now we come to the question of
fashions. 1t is not possible to separate
clothes from this peculiar and en-
phatic situation which has arisen
through the conviction that the fight
ers must be entertained, going and
coming.
Whatever the government has asked
women to do in the way of clothes
not keep them from dressing well
every day and night as they pass to
and from one entertainment to an
other.
These gowns are far from expensive
in the mass. OF course, the individual
who has money continues to spend it
in going to her own dresSmaker and
paying well for excellent cloth, good
fitting and perfect finish; but the aver
age woman, even though she have
money, has begun to find out all kinds
of places where smart-loOking clothes
may be bought for small prices. They
are also turning out a good deal of
work in their own sewing rooms, after
the fashion of % years ago.
BY the way, one of the striking
phases of this war is that women boast
of the cheapness of their clothes, and
rcgale each other with the method of
making old clothes into new, and the
small shop where you can get some
thing that looks like France for $40.
Many of them have also quickly
adopted the governments 'inside-out'

box of imported GOLD MEDAL Haar-
lem Oil Capsules. They are pleasant
and easy to take. Each capsule con-
tains about one dose of five drops.
Take them just like you would any
pill. Take a small swallow of water
if you want to. They dissolve in the
stomach, and the kidneys soak up the
oil like a sponge does water. They
thoroughly cleanse and wash out the
bladder and kidneys and throw off the
inflammation which is the cause of
the trouble. They will quickly relieve
those stiffened joints, that backache,
rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, gall
stones, gravel, "brickdust," etc. They
are an effective remedy for all dis
eases of the bladder kidney, liver,
stomach and allied organs. Your
druggist will cheerfully refund your
money if you are not satisfied after a
few days use. Accept only the pure,
original GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil
Capsules. None other genuine.-Adv.

ed food it should be served with foods
that supply roughage or bulk. Cheese
as the finish to a dinner is always
served with crackers because the hard
cracker must be well masticated and
thus the cheese is finely divided and
made more digestible.
Cheese Pudding.-Take one cupful
Of stale bread crumbs, one cupful of
grated cheese, two cupfuls of milk, two
eggs well beaten, two tablespoonfuls
of melted fat, one-fourth of a teaspoon
full Of mustard, salt and paprika to
taste. Mix the ingredients as for Gus
tard, turn the mixture into a CREASED
baking dish and set in pan of hot
water to bake in slow oven. Bake
until firm.
Scalloped Cabbage With Cheese
Cook the cabbage with leaves sepa-
rated, uncovered in as little sailed wa
ter as possible. AS soon as the cabbage
is tender, drain and add cheese sauce !;
bake 25 minutes in moderate oven.
Cheese Sauce.-Make a white sauce
using one cupful of milk, two table
spoonfuls of flour, tablespoonful Of
butter or fat, half teaspoonful Of
salt, few dashes of paprika and four
tablespoonful to cupful of grated
cheese.
Cottage Cheese Loaf.-Take a cup
full each of cooked kidney beans, cot
tage cheese, ground peanuts, bread
crumbs and boiled rice, one tablespoon
full Of chopped onion, one tablespoon
full Of fat, a cupful of tomato juice.
Mix all the ingredients and form the
mixture into q roll. Brush it with
melted fat and bake in a moderate
oven % minutes. Serve with a thick
white sauce in which two tablespoon
fuls of chopped red peppers have been
added.
A cupful of cottage cheese added to
potato salad makes a much more
nourishing and savory salad.

individual fittings, which require ex-

economically and commercially.
New Clothes That Paris Sends.
Now, Of one thing be very certain:
that while the French do not entertain
the French poilu, they are most eXcit-
ed about the Anglo-SaXOn idea.
The result is an thrush of gowns to
this country during tie last few weeks,
and these are sent over in order to
allure those who are dancing and din
ing the fighters. The gowns are ex-
pensive, but they will be speedily
copied by the inexpensive shops, and
so 'Arriet, who goes out to an enter
tainment with AIRY will have the
chance to buy for eight dollars and a
half copy of the French gown that
cost $500. That is the happiness
found in treading the sartorial path in
America.
1t is good to get these advance
things from Paris. They foreshadow
what is to be shown to American buy
| ers.
If they are honest fOrerunners of
our early autumn costumery, then
Paris has not created a revolution in
the silhouette, as was persistently ru-
mOred during the month of June. The
salient points of these new clothes are
slenderness, shortness of skirts, an at
tempt to revive the minaret of Paul
Poiret fame, an insistence upon sashes
arranged in army fashion, repetition
Of beige, mustard and tan colorings,
and the introduction Of broadcloth.
Floating panels, which have for six
months dotted the entire surface of
| clothes in America, have been abol-
| ished, If we judge by these forerunners.
There are capes on evening gowns
which are made in the most brilliant
| fairy-tale manner, reminiscent of the
extravaganzas in the old days at the
| Drury Lane theater in London.
There are no high collars. The Ital-
ian decolletage is retained. The Sc
we're neck line, without line Of white,
remains a part of the fashions.
Medieval TUNES Still In Fashion.
There has been no disposition on the
part of the French designers to lift the
tunic out Of its popular position in ap-
parel. They do not insist upon it in
It's genuine Slavic style, but they use
1t as a model for much that is done in
the way of over-drapery.
There are tunics that are cut to a
deep point at each side and are moth
ing but side pieces over a long en-
broidered cuirass that reaches nearly
to the knees of dark skirt.
