GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY
God Gave You Health. Thank Him For 1t. GO to Church.

)ME people never think of God until loved one is i'll or great trouble besets them Then they seek the SOLACE OF REI- GION. A clergyman is called in, and prayers are said at the bedside for the loved one's recovery. God is MERCIFUL and ofttimes these prayers are answered, and the loved one reeovers.
 IT is NOT FAIR TO GOD, HOWEVER, TO ASK HIM TO REMEMBER YOU WHEN YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN HIM. WHEN Ev- ERYTHiNo IS GOING ALONG SMOOTHLY AND THE WORLD LOOKS BRIGHT SOME MEN FORGET THERE IS GOD. THEY

PUT WAR PRISONERS TO WORK

Any feeling on the part Of idle evil
ians that they should be permitted to
dispose Of their leisure as they see fit,
SO long as prisoners of war and interned
enemy aliens are maintained in ldlencss
at the government expense. will be re-
moved by the regulations Of the War
Department, which now require that all
classes of prisoners shall be required 10
perform labor necessary for their own
comfort and the upkeep of their barracks
and grounds, except in the case of com
missioncd officers and others who are
physically unfit
War prisoners may be required to
work for the public service, and may
also be authorized to work on their
own account Authority for their en-
ployment by private persons opens the
way to make them productive in re-
gions where labor is scarce and OPP
portunties for guarding against escape
exist Incentive for work is given by the
provision that payment shall be made
according TO the work executed, and
that the wages of prisoners shall go
toward improving their position, any
excess being paid TO them on their release,
after deducting the cost of their main
tenance.
The country is beginning to insist
that every individual shall give strict
account Of his labor There are to be
no drones in war time. Portland Ore

II is with sincere regret that Every
Evening records the death of Moses b.
Fleming, which occurred at his home in
New Castle, last night, after long suffer
ing from an affection OF the heart.
More than twenty years ago MIR. Flem-

first as New Castle correspondent, and
later as a member of the news staff, but
continuing in charge of the New Castle
field. How thoroughly he covered that
field our readers well know, and his staff
services were valuable A few years ago
his physical condition compelled him to
confne his labors to the New Castle cor
respondence, TO which he attended, faith
fully and efficiently to the day before his
death.
Mr.. Fleming was a good citizen, loyal
10 family and friends, and devoted to the
newspaper work which he performed so
veil. The sympathies Of all who knew
him will 20 forth freely to the members Of
his family in their time OF sorrow.
