When Your First Boy ls Born.

The concluding chapters OF Bruce
Barton's novel, The Making OF
George Groton." appear In the Amer
icsn Magazine. In them this passage
occurs:

him. Then, as he nodded and said,

"He took the cigar that ] handed
him, and pulled on his cap and
dropped II in, and put his cap on
again. Then he reached out a sweaty
hand and grasped mine.

After the War.

British business interests already laying "aft-
the war plans for reganing Britain's share of
the worlds peace commerce. They believe that
German competition in neutral countries will be
keener than ever, and that Germany will have the
ledge" on other countries, because the German
world power party already has laid down program
of slavery wages for peace toilers in German facto
ries.
German rulers believe that the four years Of war
dcpriyations have brought German workmen to the
point where they will be glad to accept lower wages
than before the war and will be satisfied with but
little improvement in their present living condition
That points to German campaign OF low prices
to attack British American. French and Japanese
commerce
But Germany cannot acquire any marked degree
OF success in her after-the-war commercial efforts
unless she gets her hands upon the worlds raw ma
terials Germany is destitute of raw materials But

How This Cashier Works.

In the American Magazine there is
a short article about a cashier who
makes courtesy pay. He often cashes
checks for people who can not realize
how he knows them. The author
says: ~
'Avon Nevius is an assistant cashier
IN one of the leading banks In the
city Of Washington, and is probably
the most accommodating citizen In the
nations capital. II you don't believe
this, the next time you're in Washing
ton Just ask anybody.
"As rapidly as a new edition OF the
Congressional Directory comes out
Nevius studies the biographies in n
as he would study a textbook. His
reason is that q great many members
Of Congress deal at his bank. and he
finds IL advantageous to know al
about them. 50 that when one comes
up and introduces himself as Con.

A LINE O. CHEER
EACH DAY o. THE YEAR.
By John Kendrick Bangs

TO A SUMMER DAY.
The green Of grass. the blue Of sky;
The tuneful breezes idling by:
The simmer of the morning light;
The starry splendor OF the night;
The dew-drops fresh and sweet and
pure
In rosy confines all secure;
The busy humming of the bees
In search of honied mysteries;
The sweep Of winging birds above;
The air as soft as touch Of love-
All Summer Days so fair and sweet
With all these lovely gifts replete.
What futile chance II is for man
To turn aside from Natures plan
And for life's passing vanities
Deny the boon of such az these,
And strive. and strain, for one mean
hour
OF empty arrogance OF power!

New York, July 16-
1t was a pleasant day.
And I was full of love.

When my wife asked me.

I was reading a book.
So I did It
With one hand.
And she went over.
And looked in the glass.
Aud asked II I was crazy.
What a question:
And Just kept quiet.
And radiated love.
And she kept referring.
To me being crazy.
And mentioned how.
l talked to myself.
When I took a bath
And how I had my hair cut.
Twice the same morning.
And I just said, "Yes. my dear"
And kept on reading.
And rndiating love.
And she stamped her foot.
And I looked UP.
And It seems that I had,
Missed a hook here and there.
No man is perfect.
Sc I put down the book.
And began hooking.
With both hands
Still radiating love.
And then I sat down.
But got right up.
Somewhere in my anatomy.
Was a needle.
II It hadn't been threaded.
It would be there yet.
And I quit radiating love.
Right then and there. .:
And got on my hat and coat.
And went down to the club.
And in about an hour.

And Bert Williams.
And signing checks.
And singing tenor.
But when got home.

And stilI limp.

And IL I limp long enough.

To do any h,ore hooking.

IN FIVE MINUTES
NO SICKSTOMACH
INDIGESTION, GAS
"Pape's Diapepsin" is the quick
est and surest Stomach
relief.

You don't know what upset your
stomach-swhich portion of the food
did the damage-do you? Well don't
bother. If your stomach is in q re-
volt; II sick, gassy and upset, and
what you just ate has fermented and
turned sour; head dizzy and aches;
belch gases and acids and eructate
undigested food; breath foul, tongue
coated-just take little Pape's Dia-
pepsin to neutralize acidity and in
five minutes you wonder what be-
came of the indigestion and distress.
Millions of men and women to-day
know that it is needless to have dys-
pepsia. A little Diapepsin occasional
ly keeps the stomach sweetened,
and they eat their favorite foods
without fear.
If your stomach doesn't take care
of your liberal limit without rebel
lion; If your food is a damage in
stead of a help, remember the quick
est, surest, most harmless antacid Is
Pape's Diapepsin which costs only
fifty cents for a large case at drug
stores. It's truly wonderful--it stops
food souring and sets things straight,
so gently and easily, that 1t is really
astonishing. Your stomach will digest
your meals If you keep acids neu-
tralized.-Adv.
