CUPID WILL REIGN
THURSDAY BY ORDER
OF ST. VALENTINE

Thursday will be st. Valentines
Day. and although this year will
probably not see the usual number of
festivities in honor Of the patron
saint, merTymakings will neverthe
less be held at which Cupid and the
red heart Will be the chief features.
Valentines this year are not, as
might be expected. militsristic in
character. The displays in the shop
windows appear just about as in other
years, with the exception OF here and
there, snappy little card, conven-
tionslly decorated and bearing little
message OF love and good cheer to

Thrift Stamp the Thing.
Perhaps the most fitting valentine
OF the moment is the ubiquitous
Thrift Stamp card, with the initial
stamp attached. This, enclosed in an
envelope prettily decorated in one
corner with a plump Cupid andlhis
arrows, forms a patriotic token not
to be resisted. ST. Valentines Day
IS one OF the oldest Of festivals, dat
ing back to the time OF Claudius in
the third century. Why Nalentinus
Of old should have been thus highly
honored during the ages remains a
mystery; for his story, as we have
It, suggests nothing of the custom so
popular today.
St. Valentine was a Christian mar
tyr, who, because Of his great faith,
succeeded in attracting unto himself
so many followers that Claudius, the
emperor, was much displeased; finally
causing him to be put to death on
February Il. centuries ago.. a story
50 gruesome surely suggests nothing
OF the joyous festival as we know to-
day.
A Day For Lovers.
As far back ss Shakespeare's time
young people OF both sexes regarded
the day as one OF great Importance,
and laboriously made tokens Of love

to send ridiculous illusions to those
whom they delighted to tease, and
these have been perpeuated in the

A Bit of knowledge Till the Doctor

A knowledge of the antidote for a

of saving life.
For acidulous poisons, those that
cause burning from the mouth down
to the stomach, the remedy is mag

Administer this antidote every two
minutes while waiting for the doctor.
For arsenic poison give a prompt

5l1lyo or Democracy
Which?

AWAY with the Kaiser, the Devil and Dutch,
Their language could spe ak.
They've given to Flanders barbarous touch,
Of civilized "Kutur" and cheek,
The Germans would land on American SOIL
Should England they hold in their clutch;
So we stand by guns to parry and foil
To hell with the Kaiser and Dutch.
They go in great armies, their helmets glare,
Submission of netghbors to force.
Both Belgium and Poland have suffered share
OF "Kuur displays from that scource.
The nations of Earth they intend to exploit,
Our Country included with such
So we stand Iy our guns with actions adrot-
To hell with the Kaiser and Dutch.
The Kaiser and Kings will shortly uncrown,
From the greatest down to the least;
Or Freedom of Man. will shorely go down
And bow to the will of the "Beast.'
For peace to be lasting all over the world
For freedom on seas and the land
With the folds of Old Glory unfurled
Uncle Sam is taking hand
His chvarous sons are falling in"
With spirit that's noble and great;
Each willing to risk, that his country may win.
His life and his fortune to fate
No age ever saw such army of men
AS America marshals today
And Americans hope that never again,
Must they rally in battle array.
