to be carrying any seeds with her,
nor any Jumps Of sugar-no, Lucy
was certainly very strange little
girl this day, they thought.
"'Grunt, grunt, s-q-u-e-a-l.' said the
pigs as she walked by the pen with
out throwing in any pig weed.
"'Quack, quack,' said the ducks,
what's the matter with LucyT
"'No cornmeal, gobble, gobble, gob-
BILE, what in the world does this meanT
asked the turkeys.
"Now Lucy had gone off In the cor.
ner of the barnyard near the pasture.
The day was very warm for the au-
tumn, and the sun was shining bright
ly.
"She sat down on her favorite old
stump. And she opened the book She
had been carrying. She had been
mumbling words to herself but she had
not said anything the animals could
understand.
"Now she kept saying them louder
and louder, and she was also saying
very queer things the animals thought.
They were quite sure they did not
mean anything. She was saying:
IA. b. c. Now l know that far
must learn some more And with
her eyes bent on the book she sat and
sat.
"The animals were standing around
her. The roOsters, hens and chickens
had all wandered near the stump. Inc
ducks and geese were wabbling around
and the pigs from the pen kept grunt'
Ing and squealing:
"'She never gave us anything to
eat. oh, what q sad world 1t is
"But the other animals answered
back, She never gave anything to
any of us, and It's really most extreme
II stran"e.'
Suddenly Lucy looked up from her
book. Oh barnyard friends she said,
and all the animals stood up very
straight and looked their best.
~ didn't mean to forget about you'
but I've had such lesson to study!
Oh, it's so hard. Letters one after
the other, and they make words We
must spell and write
"The animals all looked at each
other and shook their heads. 'Gobblei
gobble, gobble,' said Mr.. Turkey. We
don't want to know letters and words.i
"'Some words are all right SAID
Porky Pig from the pen. Food Is
nice word and pig-weed Is another
1.-The other animals laughed. but
Lucy was getting goodies out OF her
pocket to give to them. How happy
they were that she had not forgotten
them.
'.The roosters crowed, the hens
clucked, the ducks quacked, the tur-
keys gobbled, the pigs squealed anq
grunted and the geese cried In their
shrill voice:
"'Were very much obliged. We
were afraid you had forgotten all
about u.s.
"It was that awful lesson said
Lucy. I came out in the barnyard to
study it because / thought would en-.
Joy 1t more out mere.
"The animals weren't sure what she
was saying, but they were very glad
that she was paying attention to them
now. Lucy had learned her lesson
and was very happy, for the child
who knew her lesson the best the
uext day would receive a prize.
'The day ended off very happily
for all the animals and Of course Lucy
enjoyed her many pets. But when
she had left them they chatted among
themselves and they all agreed that
A. B. c. was a very silly thing to say.
For they were animals and not chill
dren and 1t wasn't necessary to know
such things in the barnyard.
".And as for words said Porky

Daddy, twas walking in the barnyard:
she loved the animals and she played
with them great deal. The chickens

and used to follow her around, hoping
she had some seed for them.
But this day she did not seem to
notice the animals very much and they
looked extremely hurt.

LET THE GUNS SPEAK

The Allied world has been in the grip of a great fear:
it has escaped from it, as from a nightmare, with nerves
'a-tingle.
The issues are so vast and the possibilities Of disas-
ter from a false step SO incalculable, that the sight of a
single individual. even though he was president of the
United States. entering the lists against the malign pow
es of German diplomacy, filled the public mind with a
profound apprehension.
This was deepened by the universal instinct that,
even though the skill of the player might ensure a favor.
able score. the game was not in keeping with the time
or the occasion.
From a position of great danger the cause Of the Al
lies has been extrfcated by the adroitness of The president
of the United States following his swift appreciation OF
the situation which he had permitted to develop.
AS for Mr.. Wilson himself. he is in the position Of the
man who escaped from a burning house with the smell
of the fire upon his clothes. Let him not again tempt
fate!
Hereafter let the guns speak to the Huns about war
and peace!
Their language will not be misunderstood. No doubt.

THURSDAY N OCTOBER II. 1913.
RESPECTFULLY REFERRED TO F0cH

: The exchange of notes between Germany .- the one
hand and the government Of the United States as the
representative and spokesman of tho Allied powers has
had certain good effects. 1t has cleared away-it must
have done so-of any lingering belief that may have re-
manned in the minds of the members of the German gov
ernment and the German people whom they have mis-
led. that peace could be obtained by the Central powers
except on the basis of their complete and unqualified sur
s,render. The representatives of the Allied governments,
and the people themselves in the Allied countries, have
declared as with one voice that there can be no peace on
any other basis.
That much is settled. There has been no real doubt
about it on this side. but the volume Of expression which
there has been places the whole question beyond the
realm of debate. Now, il there are any more conlmunl-
cations from Germany, let them be referred to General
Foch. .~
4 This is a military, and not a political war. 1T is be-
tang Fought out by the armies in the field. II the Ger
mans are tired of it they can end it within a few hours.
All that Is necessary is for to surrender to the COM
mander of the Allied ann he field. The moment
that such a surrender is tcr.~~4eI, In such a manner that
lit is clear that no trick is involved, the guns will be ST.
fenced. the shells will cease to fall. and arrangements will
then be made for the disposition of the German forces
which have surrendered. No other way of bringing about
peace can meet the requirements of the situation. And,
while it seems brutal to consider with any degree of
equaninity the prolonging Of the war by a single hour
after the enemy has actually laid down his arms, the fact
remains that If peace comes now, through the surrender
of the German armed forces, Germany, the greatest ma
tional criminal of the ages, will go largely unpublished
l for her crimes by evading the carrying on of war on her
own soil. where her own people, and not those of peace
full and unoffending nations. will be the immediate suf-
ferers.

REMOVING THE DEBT LIMIT

The Socialist press advocates the removal of the debt
limit from the state. To the objection that this may be
a dangerous experiment the answer is made that to make
1t possible for the legislature to enact laws which will
involve vast and unwise expenditure is not to make it GER
tain that this will be done. because the legislature itself
may be trusted to enact no laws which are not for the
public good, and further that if unwise laws are enacted
by the legislature they may be vetoed by the people under
the referendum.
AS to the first of these propositions it is to be re-
membered that the individual voter has really very little
to say about who shall constitute the legisla ture, for he
votes only on the election Of the senator and representa-
tive from his own district. He has, therefore, no assur-
ance as to the complexion Of either house. For all that
he can do'to the contrary, both houses may be made up
OF men who will take their orders from a secret. caucus,
and vote on measures without either understanding or
reading them. -

ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC

NJ oNOASAON FOft flAN1C
Spanish influenza, which appeared
in Spain in May, has all the appear
ance Of grip or la grippe, which has
swept over the world in numerous
epidemjcs as far back-as history runs.
Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in
412 B. c. which Is regarded by many
to have been influenza. Every cen
fury has had its attacks. Beginning
with 1881, this country has had five
epidemics, the last in 18S9-9O.
There is no occasion >for~ panic-in-
luenza itself has avery low percent
age of fatalities-not over one death
out Of every four hundred cases. ac-
cording to the N. G. Board of Health.
Tbe chief danger lies in complications
arising. attacking principally. patients
in a run down condition-those who
DOM go to bed soon enough. or those
who get up too early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grippe, or influenza as it is now
called, usually begins with a chill fol-
lowed by aching. f~everishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a
general feeling Of weakness and de-
preston. The temperature is from
100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts
from three to FIVE days. The germs
attack the membrane, or
lining of the . air passages-nose,
throat and bronchial tubes-there is
usually a hard cough, especially bad
at night, often>times a sore throat or
%tonsilitis, and frequently all the Zap
pearance Of a severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed~at the first symptoms. not
only for your W sake but to avoid
spreading the disease to others-take
a purgatfve. eat plenty Of nourishing
food, remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinine. aspirin orn~Dover's
Powder. ETC., may be administered by
the physicians directions to relieve
the aching. But there is no cure or
specific for innuenza-the disease
must run its course. but Nature will
throw off the attack il only you keep
up your strength. The chief danger
lies in the complications which may
arise. Influenza so weakens the
bodily resistance that there is danger
Of pneumonia OF bronchitis develop
ing. and sometimes Inflammation OF
the middle ear, or heart affections.
For these reasons, It is very important
that the patient remain in bed until
his strength returns-stay in bed at
least two days or more after the fever
has left you, or II you are over SO or
not strong, stay In bed four days or
more. according to the severity of the
attack.

HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this is
a germ disease. spread principally by
human contact, chiefly thru coughing,
sneezing or splitting. So avoid per-.
sons having colds-which means
avoiding. crowds-common drinking
cups. roller towels, etc. Keep up your
bodily strength by plenty of exercise
in the open air, and good food. Above
all. keep free from colds. as,colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
Erender them much better breeding
places for the germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first
sign Of a cold. For ahead cold, melt
a little VapoRub in a spoon and inhale
the vapers, or better still, use Vapo-
Rub in a benzoin steam kettle. If
this is not available, use an ordinary
tea-kettle. Fill half-full of boiling
water. put in half a teaspoon Of
VapoRub from time to time-keep the
kettle just slowly boiling and inhale
the. steam arising.
Note. Vick's vapoRub is the dis

who found how to combine, in salve
