An "An-American" Prayer.

Good Lord. deliver from the hyphenated
American, the pro-German the spy, the pro6teer,
III pacihst, the Stacker and all who would retard
the prosecution of the for human rights,
human happiness, the establishment of per-
manent, worldwide peace, for Christs sake Amen "
This, the earnest supplcation of the Rev.
Henry ~ Couden, chaplain, in opening Wednes-
days session Of the House of Representatives, is
to mind, what could tightly be called an "aIl-
American" prayer.
America is in the to win.
If prayer prevail over evil-over all the
large and small hinderthe-war" obstacles that con-
front not only the country coectively-but you and
! individually-and that prayer can
avail-then it is a prayer like this one of the
Rev. Mr.. Couden's that every American must
turf to and use.
Prayer in itself, however, will never win wars.
The mere process of repeating certain words, even
though they repeated with all the depth of
earnestness possible will do little towards driving
the Hun back the Rhine-back into Berlin.
What is needed is prayer with we'll directed,
never-tring efforts Aim to win the war-pray to
win the war-do your level best and exceed that
level best in brave personal drive at winning the
wsr-and am-prayer-efort will be answered by
a victory that will lead to "the establishment of a
permanent, worldwide peace" founded "in Christ's
name"
The people of the United States will all join in
a mighty "Amen" to a policy like that.

To a Soldiers Heart.

Once upon a time a successful but cynical
housekeeper informed her manageable daughters
The way to a mans heart is through his
stomach"
And ever since that day eligible young men
have been piled with fudge, invited to dinners 81
cooked all by myself" treated to homemade pies
and cake and generally attacked in the seat of di
gestion-confounded by tradition with the seat of
affection!
Therefore, when all the eligible young men
marched away to be soldiers they were pursued to
camp and ship by the feminine obsession that the
only true expression of devotion was to feed the
brute" and regularly bombarded with choco-
lates, cookies, cake and other culinary blandish-
ments. To the food added votive offerings of
cigarettes guaranteed to inspire gratitude and
smoke dreams of the fair donor!
Then the ungrateful creatures up and ex-
ploded the theory of countless ages! They drove
the recipe back to its lair They reduced the most
accomplished cooks to helpless tears. They did
all this by writing under the little red triangle the
refutation of the charge of utter materialism.
Food was not the main object of their affections!
The girls back home were coldly informed: "The
fudge you sent was delicious but" and 81 liked
those cookies fine, but" and Don't bother to
send eats, we have plenty here" The burden
of that red triangle mail is-"Any gift in the way
Of candy and cigarettes will be most humbly and
thankfully received, you may be sure, but firstly,
and foremostly-write to mel"

through his stomach-it is through the postoffice!
