THF, VANDALS

The Germans will not be able in our
day to regain the name they once had.
Here is what they intended to do when
they reached Paris. General Man
curry, victor of the Ourcq battle, and
VINO contributed much to the saving
of Paris, has written book in which
he says that Gen Won Gluck, the Ger
man commander, boosted at one Of
his camps in September, 1914, that
Paris would be given over to the fury
and vandalism of his soldiers as soon
as he entered the city.
The sacking of Paris by the Ger
mans leaves little to be imagined, and
were it not for the victory of those
brave men, many Of whom no longer
live the capital might have resembled
today a smoking mass of debris. and
ashes "a Pompeii in ruins.
The ruin of many cities of France
speak louder than words what the
Germans would have done to the
great city if they had entered her
gates.

HURRY AND HEALTH

Don't hurry 1t wears the system
like worry. 1t is especially harmful in
hot weather.
Hurry tears out the nerves and the
bodily tissues rapidly, puts lines in
the face, interferes with digestion and
other intestinal action, and in time
may produce permanent palpitation of
the heart.
Loss of both physical and mental
control and number of varieties of
nervous disorders may also result
from chronic "hurrying up"
Hurry exhausts twice the energies
in a given time than would be re-
ouired to accomplish twice the work
If undertaken in leisurely manner.
Don't hurry at your meals. II you
have only q few minutes in which to
snatch bite, forego the usual break
fast. which requires careful mastica
ton.
Instead take a cup Of warm milk OF
: break q couple of raw eggs into q
cup. These you may swallow quickly
They will digest easily.
The system can stand an immense
amount Of physical labor for an indef
| mite time, bat it cannot long with
stand the wear Of hurry.
Have plenty of exercise. Be aler'
in your work. But don't wear out be

Heavy poles are being hauled out
into Dellona, presumably for the re-
building of the telephone line, but
there are those who think it is for the
main line Of the power company that
bring the electric current to Reeds
burg. The story goes that the crew
of men engaged in the work went to
the house of a farmer out in Dellona
for a drink of water, but the family
was from home. While hunting
around for a dipper, the pole man
found key of beer, which he tapped
in good form and quenched his thirst.
Others of the crew got thirsty of a
sudden and quenched. The farmer
came and made them pay for the
amber fluid, and now they propose to
make Mr.. Farmer answer for selling
booze without a license.-Reedsbur

BOASTFUL BILL

Early in the war the kaiser was a
braggart. He boosted much. His gen
erals did likewise, and now they are
trying to save their scalps. They set
the day when they would enter Paris,
and when Roumania complained of the
terms imposed upon her, Boastful Bill
said:
If you think these terms are
hard, wait until you hear the
terms of peace that we shall inn
pose upon the allies.
Now he cries and cannot sleep. He
has travelled the road of deceit and
hypocrisy, the road of cruelty and
murder, so far that an impending
doom awaits him and he knows the
day of fate is near. Had the kaiser
his way democracy would have been
torn from the world root and branch.
The day is not far distant when he
will be face to face that the tribunal
which will decide the fate of the most
merciless monarch in recent history.

A LEMON

Ever heard of Field Marshal Llman
Won Sanders? He is the military dem
igod set up by the Hun to drill and
curse the Turkish soldiery into fight
ing units. He is the notable COM
mander who figured extensively dur
ing the allied attack on the Darda-
ne1ls and whose denunciation of "the
dogs of Turks" brought ON riot IN
which he narrowly escaped stoning
in the streets of Constantinople.
For months this gallant officer was
lost to sight and fame. though it was
known he was the military delegate
of the allhighest and in command Of
the Ottoman troops in the Macedonian
campaign. The next that is seen OF
him is the meteoric trail he left as
he deserted his command in Syria and
fed to safe quarters unknown. His
army out-fought himself out-generafed
and his troops pinned in by General
Allenby between the mountains and
the sea, this typical Hun bolted for
dear life. six hours before the catas-
trophe fell. Could any one fancy a
Pershing or a Foch Or a Haig aban-
doning his men and fleeing to save
his own cowardly hide? The given
name of this craven acrobat must be

DEFEATING THE GRIPPE

Disease germs of every sort are al
ways in the air, says a health writer
Normally healthy persons are attacked
every day by the organisms of infecti-
Gus diseases and are unaware of it.
Only those who have less than aver
age physical resistance ever become
victims of ordinary infections. OBJ
serve all the ordinary rules of hygiene
Keep out of crowds. Keep in the sun
and let the sunshine in at the win
dows. Exercise in the open air. Take
no chances with slight indispositions
Go home and rest. The spread of
grippe is helped by a shortage of the
drugs needed for its efficient treat
ment and by lack of a sufficient num-
Der Of physicians and nurses. But
the people cannot be protected if they
do not protect themselves. Therefore
it will be wise to avoid those who
show signs Of the infection. Walk TO
work if you have time, rather than
ride in crowded trolleys. And call
physician at the first sign of what you
may take to be a cold.

Obituary
Forest G. Bauer

The funeral service of Forest c.
Bauer was held Sunday afternoon.
The body Of this soldier was escorted
from the vault in the Baraboo ceme-
terry by large company Of friends to
the burial place on the Zantow farm
on the Baraboo bluffs. A little after
4 o'clock the procession arrived at
the little cemetery and was met there
by another group Of neighbors.
The minister, Rev. E. G. Henke, led
in prayer and then the Templin-Wich-
ern quartette sang, "Tenting Tonight
on the Old Camp Ground" In these
old bluffs amid the beautiful scenery,
the soldier had said he would like to
be buried if her should die-this was
only three weeks ago.
Then the minister spoke Of his life
here, his friends, and his call to the
colors and that his death was as truly
sacrifice for the cause Of freedom
as one on the battlefield. The soldiers
that have died from disease will have
helped discover the cause and cure
for this awful scourge.
Forest Bauer was member Of Co.
40, First d. B., leaving here for Camp
Grant, July %. He said he was never
more proud of anything than the
; badge of honor he wore when enter
ing the army Of his country. His ser
vice and that Of all the soldiers will
, win the victory and bring brother
hood again and peace among the ma
ton of earth. The minister also
spoke Of the Saviour who would lead
to victory over death and would give
life everlasting.
The quartette then sang, a favorite
song of the recessed, when The Roll
Is Called Up Yonder." and Rev.
Henke pronounced the benediction.
The service was unique in that it was
held outdoors. The pallbearers were
E. F. Dithmar, Carl and Herman Ka-
! siska, w. D. Mather, w. S. WEIGH and
w. E. Zantow. The place of the chief
mourners was taken by the family Of
F w. Zantow with whom MI. Bauer
made his home for five years. Most
Of the relatives live in the east and
none were able to be present at the
burial His father arrived at Z
o'clock in the evening, but short time
! before the burial. He returned the
next day.
