THE A WHO COUNTS.


Before going to war I was haunted by the fear that l might be
afraid, but what would be worse-that I would show it. Now know
from experience that one is often afraid. Any soldier who asserts the
contrary may not be a liar, but he certainly does not speak the truth.
Physical fear is too deeply rooted to be overcome by any amount of
training; it remains, then, to train a man in spiritual pride, SO that
when he fears, nobody knows it. Cowardice is contagious. 1t has
been said that no battalion is Drawer than its least brave member.
Military courage is, therefore, a form of unselfishness; it is practiced
that it may save weaker mems lives and uphold their honor. The
worst thing you can say of man at the front is HE doesn't play the
game That doesn't Of necessity mean that he fails to do a little bit
more than his duty.
When a man plays the game, he does things which it requires a
Drawer man than himself to accomplish; he never knows when he's
done; he. acknowledges no limit to his cheerfulness and strength;
whatever his rank, he holds his life less valuable than that of the
humblest; he laughs at danger not because he does not dread it, but
because he has learned that there are ailments more terrible and less
durable than death. The man in the ranks taught me whateevr I
know about playing the game. l learned from their example. In
acknowledging this, [ own up to the new equality, based on heroic
values, which this war has established. The only man who counts
S'out there is the man who is sufficiently self effacing to show
courage. The chaps who haven't done it are the exceptions.

The dream of a league Of nations has
become an issue in practical world
politics. Lord Robert CeciIs announce
ment that the British government is
considering q plan of his devising
marks a distinct step forward in the
realization of the dream.
In the principle the league of nations
has been approved by statesmen on
both sides Of Europe's battle line. 1t
has become an article Of faith in the
creed Of America. Not until now, how
ever, has any old world government
ventured to make 1t a matter for con-
sideration in detailed terms of practical
bility.
Indeed. so far as u w govern
ment Is concerned. the principle has
not advanced beyond the stage of
generalization, although we may as
sumo that President Wilson has formu-
lated a plan that will be ready for
disclosure when the hour is considered
%opportune.
Much Of great value to the workable
embodiment Of the principle has beer
contributed by the League to Enforce
Peace, from which the first strong i'm
pulse came. This organization must be
credited with giving the idea firm place
In American thought and hope and edu-
eating u.s., so far as we have been edu-
Gated. in its possibilities.
But the advocates Of a league of ma
tons have usually contended that steps
toward organization must be postponed
until after peace has been made. This
view Is prompted largely, no doubt, by
the wholly reasonable and proper be-
lief that nothing should be done now
to divert attention from the main task
Of winning the war. And yet the view
may not be the necessary or the right
view.
Chancellor o Hertling has declared
that consideration of the proposal for a
league of nations must walt until this
war ends; but he is the last person to
whom we would look for safe guidance,

Meaning of nSinn Eein.n

"Sinn Fem" pronounced Shinn
Fatn) is a Celtic expression meaning
ourselves alone" and is the name and
motto of an Irish party which con-
strues it as meaning both for and by
the Irish alone. 1t dates actively from
1906 and claims to be more practical
and comprehensive than any of the old
parties that have aimed at Irish indie
pendence or self-government. Among
other things, it proposes to establish q
purely Irish parliament, army and
navy, mint, civil and consular service,
judiciary and school system; also the
economic reorganization of Ireland by
its own people on purely Irish basis,
including merchant marine, stock ex-
change, banks, ETC.; all official and
business matters and correspondence
to be conducted in Gaelic, the use of
English language to be bOycOtted in
public offices, schools and business
These and many other interesting re-
suits are to be accomplished by pas
sive means and peaceable methods. 1t
is not stated exactly how, but by some
kind of social and political pressure

OLD LANDMARK is. PRESERVED
Historic General Schuyler Mansion At
Albany, N. ", Associated With
Revolutionary Times.

BY the dedication of the General
Schuyler mansion at Albany, n. Y,
another interesting landmark Of reSo-
lutionary days was permanently pre-
served from the devastating hand Of
modern improvement, notes CORE
spondent. The house is 155 years old,
having been built in 1852. Its recent
dedication by Governor Whitman,
marked the one hundred and fOrtleth
anniversary of the surrender of Bur-
gOyne at Saratoga. General Schuyler
took an active part in the campaign
against the invading British army from
the North, and, at Saratoga, he suf-
fered a serious loss in the burning of
the British of his country home and
mills. Notwithstanding this. he acted

CAUSE OF TIRED FEELING
Complaint, Common With Many Peo-
pie Every Morning, Due to Press
ure of Too Much Purin.

The familiar condition in which one
wakes up in the morning, after a good
Nights rest, with dry mouth. spirits
depressed, feeling tired, aching all
over, was explained by DR.. Nathan
Rosewater of Cleveland in the course
Of a discussion at a recent meeting
Of the American Medical association.
He said such person will go ahead
and do a hard days work and feel
better as the hours pass, until in the
evening all signs of trouble have gone.
Such a person often had severe pains
in the abdomen, the muscles of which
we're extremely sensitive; but the
more they were pressed the less sensi-
tive they became.
This condition is not, as often be-
ieved, due to intestinal tOxaemia, or
poisoning of the blood by the products
of imperfectly digested food, but to
the pressure of too much purin in the
system.
When the foods that are rich in
purins are given up the sufferers rap
idly improve. They were never really
fatigued, their symptoms being merely
stimulation of fatigue
