What Makes Our Boys Brave?

Writing to the editor Of the Jour-
nal, a Maine mother, whose only son
was a volunteer and who Is now with
overseas, says:
don't worry about him much. for
he and I agreed before he left that If
that was the thing for him to do he
was going to do 1t the best he knew
how and take the consequences. II
he gets killed 1t will be in good
cause. II I was % years younger !
should go myself.
God bless the patriotic mothers of
America! Thousands and thousands
have been called upon to risk what is
dearest to them and they have met
the test in way that makes mother
hood the most precious treasure in
the universal scheme Of things. Moth
ing can hearten and encourage the
boys on the battlefront like the
knowledge that mother would be
there. too. IL circumstances per-
mitted.-Biddeford Journal.
Good for you, Deak!
There are more brave spirits at
home than at the front; and it's tie
heroism at home that makes men
laugh in the face Of death.
Now here is another incident IL
Illustrative of the home influence that
puts mems hearts in the age of
adolescence. A 17-year-old boy of
Augusta, sleeping with his father,
revealed the burden Of his thoughts.
Long after he was supposed to be
asleep the youngster nestled over to
his father and said:
See here, Dad: what excuse am I
to make to my boy If don't get into
this thing?"
Startled Pater had to meet the
charge and meet it quickly, and so he
fired:
Don't you worry bit, son! You
won't have to make any excuses.
Your son probably will have a one
legged father. You'll get into it all
right: I can see that. and I'll see that
it is done right. You shall have your
chance. lad-and you should if you
didn't want to go. We'd see that YOU
got into it even IL you were a Stacker,
which, please God. you are not. Yes
sir, my boy, you shall get into It,"

it again in the after war. readjust-
ment period. Hero is what a leading
educator of Maine. no less an author
ity than DR.. A. o. Thomas, State
Superintendent of Schools, says on
tho subject:
1--WE must not tolerate any teach
ing in our schools which tends to
laud the enemy or to show any points
Of advantage Of his country over
ours, or to give him comfort in any
way. While we are not making war
on the German language we are face
to face with the task Of putting
down an insidious propaganda in
this country. The German language
may be a camoufage, a spy in our
camp; II SO it should be treated as
such. When in doubt, don't has
always been q rule of the writer's
life in regard to debatable right and
wrong.
There has never been a time when
il was so much in order to emphasize
the teaching Of the English language
as now, and those things which show
the glory Of American life and op-
portunity. Where the German Ian
guage is used to propagate even a
tolerance among American youth OF
German influence. brutality. hate,
through the beauties of German lit
erature and culture, or a respect for
German strength, 1t should be treated
as an alien enemy. Even a semblance
of disloyalty to American institu-
lions must have no place in our
schools.
Even in normal times there is very
little German taught in the schools OF
the State Of Maine. and there Is no
disloyalty so far as we are able to
discover among those who teach it
There are 20 schools in which the
elements Of the German language
found a place. In some of these it is
discontinued.
There is one thing concerning
which we must all agree, that there
should be no use for the German
language in teaching English sub
jects. From the present time for
ward we must lose no time in teach
ing the children Of German parentage
in this country the free use Of our
own language, and so far as possible
love for our own institutions"

Tells how to lift off that touchy
corn without hurting

Hospital records show that every
time YOU cut a corn yon invite lock-
jaw or blood poison, which is need
less, says a Cincinnati authority, who
tells YOU that a quarter ounce of a
drug called freezone can be obtained
at little cost from the drug store but
is sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You simply apply few drops of
this freezone on a tender, aching
corn and the soreness is instantly re-
lieved. Shortly the entire corn can
he lifted out, root and all. without
pain.
This drug is sticky but dries at
once and is claimed to just shrivel up
any corn without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue o.

Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tsils why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, Respondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull
and unstrnng; some days really in
capa citated by illness.
If we all would practice inside
bathing, what gratifying change
would take place. Instead Of thou
sands Of half sick, anaemic looking
, souls with pasty. muddy compilations
we should see crowds of hapny
healthy. rosy-cheeked people eyery-
where. The reason is that the hui
man system does ont rid itself each
Gay OF all the waste which it ac-
cumulates under our present mode of
hVlhe. FOR every ounce of food and
drink taken into the system nearly an
ounce OF waste material must be car
rled out, else it ferments and forms
ptomanine-like poisons which are alb
sorbed into the blood.
Men and women. whether sick or
wen, are advised to drink each morn
ing before breakfast, a glass of real
not water with teaspoonful OF
limestone phosphate in it, as harm
less means Of washing cut Of the
stomach. liver, kidneys and bowels
the indigestible material, waste, sour
bile and toxins.
Millions of people who had their
turn at constipation. bilious attacks,
acld stomach, nervous days and
sleepless nights have become real
cranks about the morning inside
bath. A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate will not cost much at the
drug store. but is sufficient to demon
strate to anyone, it's cleansing, sweet :
ening and freshening effect upon the
system.-Ady.
