Aran Love Song

0rom The Bookmdm, London)
T ISTEN awhile, agra, before let you go!
IL Never soul to hear but the gulls
with breasts of snow
Over the sea in the morning, but back to
the rocks by night,
Just my love comes back to yourself, my
hearts delight!
Listen awhile, agra!
Listen awhile agra, before | let you go
Desolate, bleak and grey are the rocks and
the sea below,
But down in the long black cracks the deli
cate fern grows green,
Just as my love lies hid that only yourself
has seen
Listen awhile, agra!
Listen awhile agra, before let you go
Often the mist comes down, but the isle is
there, you know
There, tho the fisher seems to lose it from
the sea,
Just as my love for you is always there
machree!
Listen awhile, agra!

IN my opinion, materially increase the size
OF our forces
6-l believe that, before calling mere
boys, the uniformed clerks in the armv and
navy should be released for active fighting
service and replaced by men above the age
limit
8-With much smaller population than
ours. both France and England raised more
than the 100000 men we are now aiming
for before drafting boys below twenty.
France did not reach her young men
of nineteen and eighteen until she had ex-
hausted Ler older classes, including men
in their fortes. Then her young bows
were the object of rigid physical exami-
nation, and when found fit they were
trained under special sanitary conditions
required by their youth.
S-While we probably have some slack
crs, am convinced that our men prefer to
do their country's lighting and are opposed
TO its being done by our kids.

The Secret Garden
tFrom The Nation. Londou

tFrom The Nation, Londonl
vTNHERE is somewhere secret garden,
l. which none has seen,
In place apart
But amid the bramble- bound world, the
thicket, the screen
To the understanding of heart.
There the flowers wait
Abasing each noble head
Till He draws nigh,
Then exalt their lovely faces to Him, rose
little, rose great,
Flower of pale flower of passionate dye.
Under His eye
Till softly He lift hand, and the Land is
spread
Blessing their beauty, their peace with a
word like sigh.
There is somewhere secret garden, where
none has been,
Or, glimpsed, lost to their grief,
There would l b,de, though ever abode
snail or a stone under the lowliest leaf.

The Fighting Age
To the Editor of The T

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: am taking the liberty of express
ing my disapproval of the plan to reduce
the minimum draft age limit to eighteen
years, because:
lin talking to men and women of my
acquaintance have become convinced that
there is a preponderance of opinion un-
favorable to that measure.
2-The experience OF military powers
demonstrates that intense military train
ing is adverse to the development OF men
below twenty years of age.
Sit seems unfair to expect military
duty from those not considered mature
enough to vote
If the first draft bill affecting men
from twenty-one to thrty-one years of
age. were more strictly enforced, it would,

OF all the by-products that the war
has manufactured words arc the most
satisfactory; and of all the words so
manufactured none appeals, soothes,
chuckles and satisfies quite so gratefully
as that of the verb, intrans., to creel.
Our neighbor The Evening San uses the
word piquantly in a headline when it re-
cites "Charge Baker Is Creeling.o The
news item was "a Washington dispatch
reporting the suspicion on Capitol Hill
that Secretary Baker might have "elab-
Grated the facts" when he gave out the
picture of De Haviland planes flying
over Germany. We are interested not in
that matter but in the verb The general
meaning Of the new verb is obvious. The
result Of creehng is something less than
whopper. 1t is somewhat more than
flo. An open mouth and careless
tongue are predicated and the nobility
of the motive is equalled only by the
stupidity of the performance.

REPORTS OF
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, June 4.-The sub marine activity on this side of the water was reflected in the the cotton market today by decline of 30 to 37 points around the opening. The mar ket acted oversold at the decline and a demand for covers set in in which g reaction ensued. At the end of the first half hour of trading prices were 8 to 12 points over last weeks close.
 The bureau report on condition of S2.3 per cent of the normal was high CT than expected and caused a drop of 10 to 25 points, but the market re- acted quickly on realizing operations by shorts and went 8 to 30 points over the closing suotation of last week. At noon the active months showed net gains of 1 to 12 points.
 The cotton market closed steady at net advance of ? to 17 points.
 Irregularity developed in the after noon as result of straddle opera ticns. At 1 o'clock prices were 2 points up to IA points off compared with the final quotations of last week

New York Cotton

New York, June 4.-An opening decline of 2 to IA points in the cotton market today reflected con- tinuation of yesterdays nervousness and further scattering liquidation. Reports that in some cases marine war risks had been advacned sharply and the continued good weather serv- ed to encourage the selling, but no change was reported in the govern ment's marine risks and offerings were readily absorbed around the in- itial figure. There was trade buy ing as well as covering for over the government report, while fresh sell ing was held in check by bullish spot advices and reports that the textile strike in New Bedford had been set tied. July rallied from 24.37 to PATS before the end of the first hour while October sold up from 22.82 to 23.24, or about 24 to 30 points net higher.
 The government condition of 82.3 was followed by decline of 24.35 for July for October, or about 10 to IS points below last nights closing fig ures. Selling was by no means ag- gressive, while offerings, were ob- sombed by the trade buying or cover ing and the market soon rallied with July selling up to 24.83 and October to 23.31 late in the morning, making net advances of 26 to 31 points.
 Trading was quiet during the ear- ly afternoon and there was little fur ther change in prices, which had steadied around 247O for July and 23.11 for October, or about II to 25 points net higher.

Chicago, June 4.-Corn rallied in price today owing to a reaction from |the furry over the submarine raid. Offerings were quickly absorbed, and Iearly sellers who attempted to cover found the process difficult. Opening quotations, which ranged from 1-8c to 5-8c higher, with June $1.29A and July $1.31 5-8 to $1.32 were fol- lowed by material further gains and then something of a setback.
 Later, the slowness of domestic shipping call had depressing influ- ence, and so did large receipts, but the effect failed to last. The close was firm, ? to 3 cents net higher, with June $130A and July $1.33A to $1.33 7-8.
 Oats went upward with corn. After opening 1-8c to 1-4c higher, with July 65 5-8 to 65 3-4, price scored a moderate additional advance.
 Privisions weakened owing to slackness' of demand.
 ' Toward the last, the renewed strength of grain gave an upward swing to provisions.

Hot Water for
 Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone should drink hot water with phosphate
 In 1t before breakfast.

Headache of any kind. is caused by utointCxication-which means self poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons called toxins, sucked into the blood. through the lymph ducts, ccite the heart which pumps the blood so fast that it congests in the smaller arter- ies and veins of the head producing violent, throbbing pain and distress, called headache You become nerv- ous, Respondent, sick, feverish and miserable, your meals sour and al most nauseate you. Then you resort to acetanilide, aspirin 9r the bro mides which temporarily relieve but do not rid the blood of these irri- tating toxins.
 A glass of hot water with tea'- spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, drank before breakfast for awhile. will not only wash these poisons from your system and cure you of ltead- ache but will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary canal.
 Ask your pharmacist for a quarter pound of limestone phosphate. 1t is inexpensive, harmless as sugar, and almost tasteless, exception sour ish twinge which is not unpleasant.
 If you aren't feeling your best if tongue is coated or yoa wake up with bad taste. foul breath or have colds, indigestion, biliousness, constipation or sour acid stomach, begin the phosphated hot water cure to rid your system of toxins and poisons.
 Results are quick and it is claim ed that those who continue to flush out the stomach, liver and bowels every morning never have any head ache or know a miserable moment.
