Make Germany Do the Work.

Among the many questions that will
arise in the peace conferences to follow
the Great War, now apparently nearing
an end, one of the most important will
be that of reparation and restoration.
Much money will have to be paid by
Germany for the awful destruction she
has wrought. most of it due to fiendlsh-
ness and brutality. Also, it has been
suggested that she should be compelled
to do large part of the work of resto-
ration.
And why not? IT, after the war,
Germany, with her territory possibly
unscathcd and her industrial cities prac-
ticalv unharmcd, is permitted to i'm
mediately resume the pursuits OF local
industry. she would have an enormous
industrial advantage over France, Belgium
and other devastated coun tries, where the
initial efforts, involving much time,
would have to be devoted TO the work of
rebuilding and restoration.
German labor should be rcqusitioned
for great deal of this work. German
deviltry and vandalism made most OF
il necessary. II would bc only common
Justice 10 compel German labor 10 bear
a large part Of the burden Of ofrcconstructlon-
Also. Germany must he pcnalzcd
10 an extent that will compensate as
far as possible for the enormous injury
she inflicted upon the world by forcing
this cruel war upon the people Of Europe,
rs well rs for her manifold brutaities and
acts Of deliberate vandalism Make
Germany build up what she so ruthlessly
dies roved.

WARS LESSONS.

It's teaching us that life is real,
That service must be manhood's seal
That high above each far-hung gosl
There shines the beauty of the soul.
And more than cheers and more than fame,
And all the pleasures man may claim,
We've come to learn, in days oi strife,
Is using we'll the gift of life
It's teaching us, MS nothing could,
That we're one mighty brotherhood
That kings are only kingly when
They stand to serve their felowmen,
And he has failed who draws apart
And, over proud and cold of heart,
Views life from seifs restricted zone
And counts each loss or gain his own.
It's teaching us in bitter ways
That gold is not the thing to praise
That what we take unto ourselves,
Like dusty books upon our shelves
That strangers hands may never touch,
Is lost to life. though valued much.
We're learning from the worlds distress
The lesson of unselishness.
We're reaping from wars crHnsoned sod
New reverence for Almighty God;
BY what he does, shall man bc known,
Not by tho riches he may own;
Out of the chaos and the strife
Shall come n high ideal Of life
He shall best serve the Masters plan
Who best has served his fellow man.

Why matted milk was originated
because of the impossibility of obtaining
good milk at all times and in all places

DREVIOUS to 1883 it was neces-
sary to add milk to all prepared
1 foods for the infant and invalid,
in order to make properly balanced
diet. But it was difficult and often
impossible to obtain good milk in
cities and tropical climates.
The vital problem of how to supply
a reliable milk for people of all ages
IN any climate that would be avail
able at all times, was finally solved
by HORLICK of Racine, Wis,
U. S. A., after years of labor and ex-
pertinent.
HORLICK discovered a process or
reducing fresh milk by careful evapo-
ration IN a vacuum to a powder form,
which contained all the valuable con-
stituents of fresh milk, would keep
Indefinitely in any climate, and yet
be soluble in hot Or cold water.
This was the first time in history
that milk was reduced to a powder
form, soluble in water, retaining its
natural qualities when dissolved, and
with all the valuable Vnannnes
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1918-12-26

(Which are destroyed by ordinary
cooking) preserved intact.
To good rich milk HORLICK
added the valuable extract of Matted
Barley and Wheat, containing all the
nutrition of these grains, and reduced
them to powder form, with perma-
nent keeping qualities, and soluble IN
water. 1t was found that by the
action Of the Malt fcrrnents on the
milk, its digestibility was markedly
increased over ordinary milk, SO as
to render it easily assinlilated by the
weak stomach of the infant the in
valid, and the aged.
This well balanced milk food was
thus perfected, which a third Of
century's experience has amply
proved capable III itself of supporting
infant and adult life.
This new milk food HORLICK
named Matted Mix; it has proved
boon to thousands upon thousands,
from infancy to old age, of every
race and cline, and is to be found in
every city in the civilized world.

Be RED LETTER DAY

It is expected tina: 100000 North
Dakotans will attend Sunday School
on October 9th, which is to be cele-
brated as International Go-To- Sunday
school day throughout North America.
/ Last year some great results were
reported from the observance of the
day. At one town the attendance was
so large that the church building was
not large enough to hold the people
and adjournment had to be made to the
town hall which was filled to overflow
ing at that. At another town, in
Gnggs county, the enterprising super
intendent made arrangements with the
telephone operator on the farmers line
to call all their patrons with the gen.
eral call on the appointed Sunday AMI
when they were all set she invited
them to attend that day. Needless to
say, they did, in overwhelming num-
bers. +
r. Of course, it is expected that when
people have attended once they will do
so again, and this is the result in large
numbers Of cases, Go to the Sunday
School of your choice on Oct. 9th.

PRAIRIE FIRE BURNS ~ -

Walcott Reporter:-A prairie fire
which would have reached expensive
proportions was started north of
town Monday evening, by a spark
from the engine of No. 1913, had help
not arrived promptly. The fire was
discovered when people were leaving
the depot after the departure Of the
passenger train, and Section Foreman
Carlson, who had just returned, at
once ordered out part of the crew and
went out to make an investigation.
The danger Of allowing the fire to -
was at once seen and a call for -

sponse was quite general and within 4
few minutes large force Of men and
boys were out battling heroically to
keep it from spreading. Despite their
efforts, however, several sections were
swept by the demon before it was brot
under conarol. Considerable difficult
ty and some very hard and hot work
was experienced in keeping the flames
