Spanish Influenza or Grip

To carry off poisons from the system and
keep the bowels loose, daily doses of

To prevent the attack of bronchitis or

Anuric tablets should be obtained at the

It is important that broths, milk, but

regularly to strengthen the system and in

CHAPTER discontinued.

It came in the form Of letter from
Colonel Howard, the first in two years.
Howard had. in the past, repeatedly
tried to induce Mark to take advantage
of opportunities that he had put before
him, but Mark had refused stubbornly,
until the Major had given him up in
disgust. Howard did not know, and
Mark did not himself understand, the
underlying idea in his own mind, the
sense Of subdued rancor against the
man who had robbed him Of Eleanor,
coupled with the sense Of sacrifice,
that he might withdraw all his claims
on the child.
Now, however, Howard made one
more attempt.

because your duty is to take the job.

department, which has been enlarged
beyond oil knowledge. Your work in
the West is better known than you
think, Wallace, and we want you here.
Wire if you can, and come by the first
train. This is official, so don't wait
for divisional notification, which may
take days."
The letter reached Mark in one Of
his periods Of helpless dependency.
Impulsively he wired back, accepting,

senior lieutenant, and took the train
for Washington.
AS he went East the years seemed
to fall from him like dream. It was

to have been wandering; he seemed to
come to himself with consciousness
of years wasted, but Of years Of action
ahead.
Colonel Howard gazed curiously at

Howard, he found himself, much to his
surprise, often the center of respect
full audience, eager to hear Of the work
of the army in the forlorn outposts Of
the West. He discovered, too, with
surprise, that he was by no means as
unknown as he had imagined himself
to be.
Then there were invitations that had
to be accepted, receptions and dinners;
yet through it all Mark waited for the
charmed day when the house in Massa-

playing the princess Of his imagination,

schoolgirl, grown into the image Of his

 There exists another reason. equal ly as important, why foreigners should not be allowed to land on these shores. The fever of Bolshevism is pandemic m other parts of the world and it must. be prevented from gain ing a foothold in the United States unless the poople are willing to sur render completely their present forms of government and society. In cer- tain sections of Europe are organiza- tions which regard this nation as a fertile field for the spread of Bolshe- vism. Members of these organiza- tions or their agents who would at tempt to inculcate Bolshevik ideas in America must be prevented from coming here.

JUST PLAIN HUNS.

American soldiers who were so un- fortunate as to fall into the clutches of the Austrians received treatment on a par with those who early became captives of the Germans. The same fendish hatred characterized their re- ception in Austria as at any of the Kaiser's prison camps. som ething we should not forget when peace is be- ing signed.
 Among the soldiers who returned on the Mauretania were several who described the favorable impression made on the Italians by two daring Yankee flyers. During 8 combat with the Austriaas their airplanes were brought down and. in the words of one of the returning heroes:

individual manhood (under gov crnment, but independent of govern- ment and if need be, against govera- ment to life and liberty"
 Take the first eight amendments to the constitution of the United States as an example," MT Wilson says, 'and see in them the charter of liberty which the states insisted upon having added to the constitution at the outset. The whole spirit and manner of the thing is exhibited in their busin esslike phraSNs.'' In the weeks preceding the eighth day of last January. when he pronounced the famous 14 articles. his mind had been full of the stru"&lns of many enslaved races who looked to him for succor. The amendments dcsig- mated by him as our "chartcr of lib critics" he knew were framed to safeguard individual liberty. But with splendid imagery he has projected the underlying principles of our pal Iadium into such forms as render them applicable to the oyigencieS of the smaller nationalities of Europe. President Wilson, in his book, had quoted in full two of the eight amendments to the constitution, to which he referred. nam ely. the fourth and the fifth as especially forcibIe. And the assertion. found in both of them, of the theory of self -deterni- nation and the prohibition of secrecy, subterfuge and sudden force, are clea rly e&aboced in the fifth to 18th of the peace articles inclusive and also underle inc first article They also supply the basic notion (trans- posed to apply to nations instead of indivduals) of the first, second and third principles enunciated by the President in his address of February Il last. and of the first. second, third and fifth bases for peace named by him in his speech il New York on September 27. Mir Wilson's fourth principle of February 1 1 seems to be similarly a development of our first amendment, covering the subjects of freedom of speech, the press, assem- bly, and religious exercise. To one with the pregnant vision of the Presi dent there must have been the strongest temptation to translate into internationalism something of what is presented in sections eight and nine of article first Of our constitution.
 I have attempted to specify but a few striking identities. The whole primary color and passion of our con- stitution have been magaifcently and brilliantly woven into the warp and wool of the fabric which is finally to represent the most momentous treaty in the history of the world. It is in deed an epochal occasion when the President the United States goes forth to expound to the old world that instrument which Bryce so glow ingly hailed. The idea of Bartholdi, visualized on Bedloes island, has been realized.

 The fact that the State Council of Defense in Massachusetts and Maine have resigned has been brought to my attention and there seems to be in some quarters a feeling that the Connecticut State Council of De- fense should take a similar action immediately.
 Tt is true that an armistice has been signed but we still face a crit ical condition and peace is a long way off, The solution of the many per- plexing problems which are likely to arise in Connecticut during the conn ing months may require the work of such body as the Council with it's local organizations in every town in the state. There are also certain un- dcrtakings which have been carried on by the Council which cannot at this time be allowed to lapse, such as the work of the Councils Food Committee and the institution of Americanization on 8 statewide scale. There are also likely to be certain duties imposed upon the communl- ties by the return of a great number of our soldiers from abroad and from the cantonments during the weeks to come which will need to be provided for.
