TAKE THE LOAN.

The following stirring appeal by
the late Edward Everett Hale was
written in May, 1861, soon after the
outbreak of the Civil War, to urge the
people to buy government war bonds:
Come, Freemen of the land,
Come, meet the great demand,
True heart and open hand,
Take the loan!
For the hopes the prophets saw,
For the swords your brothers
draw,
For liberty and law,
Take the loan!
We ladies of the land,
AS we love the gallant band
Who have drawn a soldiers
brand,
Take the loan!
Who would bring them what
she could,
Who would give the soldier food,
Who would stanch her brothers
blood,
Take the loan.
All who saw her hosts pass by,
All who joined the parting cry,
When we babe them do or die.
Take the loan
As we wished their triumph then,
AS we hope to meet again,
And to meet their gaze ais men,
Take the loan!

Proper Food for Weak Stomachs.

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have,
weak stonrachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and mas
ticate their food thoroughly. 1t is
also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull
and stupid after eating, they should
take Chamberlain's Tablets Ito
strengthen the stomach and move the
bowels. They are easy to take and
pleasant in effect. Ad.
