Somewhere in camp where the cold winds blow
Round barrack and tent and post: -,-f ,.rs-
Somewhere in camp, where the snow lies chill
Meath the feet of democracy's host,
Somewhere in camp where the bayonet CLEANS
In the raysof the suns soft glow,
Our boy whom we've nurtured with all our means e.
Our boy, whom we've worshipped in all our dreams!
Is preparing to meet the foe!
Somewhere afoat, where the wild waves surge
And rear their crests of white
Somewhere afoat, where the War Shark Turk
And hunger to show their might!
Somewhere afoat, with the green Of the sea
And the blue of the sky around !!
Our boy whom we've rurtured with all our means
Our boy, whom we've woshipped in all our dreams
With resoute front is found
Somewhere in France in a hell of wreck
And ruin by fell fends wrought
Somewhere in France, where the war dogs bark
In the blaze Of the mad onslaught
Somewhere in France, where the shrek of the she'll
Sounds the requiem of friend and foe,
Our boy, whom we've nurtured with all our means "
Our boy whom we We worshipped in all our dreams !!
Stands forth in golden glow
Somewhere at home there's a mothers heart
That is heavy and sad today
Somewhere at home there's mothers prayer
That to Heaven ascends straightway!
Somewhere at home there's mothers smile,
AS sweet smile from God
For her boy, whom she's nurtured with all her

Whore Are We Steering ?
Germany?

New York hotels are Threatening to
close their dining rooms unless they
receive reasonable assurance of being
3 able to control their own help.
It is a serious condition Of affairs
that may develop tragic situations
The hotel and household services are
getting into the boat with the farm
ers on the labor question. Neither
government nor consumers can have
their pie and eat it too. and labor
greed to match trade greed is joining
the lynching of those who produce
and serve.
II the time is coming when every
home and every man must care for
himself, then the life blood is being
let out Of capital AMI commerce.
Then he that would eat must pack
his own pot and pan. Then we must
care for our own sick instead of hir-
ing experts in whom we have conf
dence.
Wouldn't it be better to let down
some Of the bars put up to protect
the labor which we now have not?
And some Of that we have is becom-
ing too cocky for any real use.

A test vote has been taken IN the
Senate on the so-called Smoot pen
sion bill providing a general increase
In the pensions of the old soldiers.
The other day Senator Smoot moved
that the Senate proceed to the con-
eideration of this measure, and on a
recorded vote the Senator's motion
prevailed by A to 16. 1t is interest
ing to note that all Of the sixteen
votes in opposition to the bill were
cast by Democrats. all of them from
the South except one from South Da-
kota. The vote shows that the Senate
Is Overwhelmingly in favor of granting
the veterans relief from the present
high cost Of living, and that the OPP
position of the South to the legislation
will be unavailing in the final test OF
strength.

HAD NERVOUS
INDIGESTION
This Springfield Woman Found
Quick Relief When She Used
The Tonic Treatment

Many American people suffer from
nervous indigestion. Worry, a deep
grief. overwork, lack of exercise or a
general run down condition of the
system will cause it. Among school
children overstudy and confinement in
badly ventilated rooms will bring it
on. 1t is a disease Of the nerves
rather than of the digestive organs
and is corrected by giving needed
nourishment to the nervous system
by building up the blood. This is
the tonic treatment and it's good eff
fects are seen in the case Of Mrs. 5.
Lewis, of $50 College street, Spring
field, Mass. She says:
81 had nervous indigestion for
about four years. I first noticed that
I was losing flesh and felt miserable
much of the time. l had severe
nervous spells. 1 suffered from pain
after eating, especially in my left
side. l saw DIR. Williams Pink Pills
recommended in the papers and gave
them a trial. / noticed Improvement
while I was taking the first box and
took four boxes altogether. l can
truthfully say that the pills have
certainly helped my stomach and that
II feel better than l have in a long
time and l shall use DR.. Williams
Pink Pills whenever | need a tonic.
DR. Williams Pink Pills are an
ideal tonic for nervous people because
thew are alcoholic and nervous
natients should avoid alcoholic slim
ulants.
The treatment consists largely in
rest recreation and the use OF the
tonic. the discontinuance of any
practice that may have caused the
trouble and abstinence from tea. cot
fee and stimulants. AS the nerves
receive their nourishment through
the blood the latter must be built up
and made rich and pure. Especially
If there is loss of weight and pallor
indicating a weakness OF the blood,
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are best
adapted.
Two useful books, Diseases Of the
Nervous system" and What to Eat
.nd How to Eat" will be sent free by
