As we climb the heights of lie, sometimes
stop to survey the ground have traversed, and
as we look back on the hills of indifference, OF
despair, of success and of failure 'trudge on,
buoyed by abiding hope that the promised land
is just over the crest of the hill,
We take up our burdens and face the day. New
fields of endeavor open up, and enlarging visions
OF opportunity spread before When we look
back diminishing hills, that seemed insurmount-
able when scaled them, smile, take
newed hope and go on-and up.
AS near the top, where the air is sweet and
the breeze becomes benediction, and the sky is
brighter we drink in the exhlaration that comes
from the approach OF a journeys end. We survey
a vast space and thank God have been
privileged to the wider horizon.
AS we pass take little heed of the NOR
row. Our immediate needs filled, we live only in
the glory of achievement We feel repaid when
our conscience tells have made progress.
Away in the West the bids good night.
Robed in the glorious tints of springtme it goes
on its way to shine other peoples while we rest
apace.
The tops OF the hills in life sometimes bar
full flare of the MONDAY the leaves do wilt
and the shrubs do decay.
The limelight has its flcctng triumph, as We
become retrospective and look back. We may grow
weary of the fight and seek to rest, and even as
we dream we may wonder whether we had better

distance we sec other hills yet unclimbcd.

Johnny Wanted to See,

This story was told by Representative Alfred
G. Allen, of Ohio, illustration that one can
not be too careful in looking to see who is around
when talking confidential matters.
Some time since an Ohio man decided to invite
business acquaintance dinner, and in consult
ing his wife about it gave her some of the pros
pectvc guests private history.
From the moment the guest took his place at
the table the appointed evening the eyes OF
little Johnny left him.
"Mr. Jones" finally remarked the youngster
won't you please drink your coffee? l am awfuly
anxious to see you"
why, yes" good-naturedly smiled the guest
1t you wish me to. Why are you anxious to
drink it,"
Because" answered Johnny to the great en-
barrassment of his parents papa says you drink

Wisconsin.

Wisconsin is making haste in purging itself OF
its German reputation 1t is passing splendid rcso-
utons, eliminating the German language from its
public schools, rendering German newspapers un-
popular, ct cetcra and ct cctera
Unfortunately a State is often called on to
share the opprobrium aimed of its dis
tinguishcd citizens. Any make the appli-
cation and make it fit almost any State. Just at
present Wisconsin is unfortunate in having selected
public servants who do not represent it.
The people OF Wisconsin have every reason to
be proud of their State and OF themselves. They
say in Ireland that rotten potato will spoil a
barrel OF perfectly good potatoes.
Ono misrepresentation and few minor political
cXcrescences OF the body polite gave the impress
sion that the poison had spread throughout the
State. No ono ever thought it had except those
blinded by species of un-Amcricanism that finds
its chosen field in pastures already herding the So
called unpatriotic radicals. Pro-Germanism in Wis
consin, according to the liberty loan figures, is
dead as it is in Paris London-and as it will
be throughout the United States before this war is
continued much further

When Love Is Dead.

There is so little to be said
When two stand thus as we stand here,
And love is dead.
Men kneel beside the somber bier
or those they knew, when life is fled
And night is near.
The solemn sacrament is read,
And softly sorrows wstful ear
Is comforted.
For even in the groping fear
Of silent house and empty bed
We think we hear
The echo of the feet that tread
Some far, unknown, unchartcd sphere
Unvisited. -.,r--..
But shall a sob or shall tear, 49,
When thus the life OF Love is sped,
Recall it here? e1..

No more the roses blossom rcd;
No more the winging larks appear
Far overhead
Shall roses bloom another year1 =-
Shall hearts asunder love and wed?
They shall, my dear!

"By My Grace" :"

Can you hearken back to the days of your child
hood, to the days when you played "make-believe"
games?
II so, try this one:
The United States and nations allied lose this
war; the Germans win; the Kaiser makes good his
boast OF settling accounts with America.
Continue with this game of make-believe: -
Teuton helmets our streets, Teuton tax
collectors at our doors, and Tcuton despots doing
here what they do in Serbia and Belgium, and
we have to submit, just as the Serbs and Belgians
submit.
The Kaiser will appoint ruler over u.s. one
through whom wilhelm, Imperator Rex. will
speak to us. will tell what we may do and what
is "verbotcn" TO Maybe he will call this ruler
= grand duke, prince, he may even bestow
this parsonage the exalted title of king al
ways. OF course, keeping firm grip on the rens
We wonder who ths-our-ruler will be- Will
it be one OF the Kasers sons, or will it be Hnden-
burg some other, of the brutalized generals now
driving German common people through death of
starvation and battle to satisfy junker greed for
power? Or will it be one of those pro-German
Germans already in America, and who pleased the
Kaiser we'll in yesteryears?
We don't know, but filled with curiosity
We remember few years ago. in 1908 to be
exact, Kaiser Bill said of the then president of the
German-Amcrican Alliance:
"If man ever was worthy of decoration. at my
hands, it was Herr DIR. Hcxamer, the president of
the league, who may justly be termed to be- by my
.grace, the acting ruler of all Germans in the United
Mates"

quite as much gusto to the anti
single takers IL they sought to hold
him to account for some of his
leanings in this direction.
Single tax. naturally, is impos-
sible in this country. The system
has many good points but enough
poor ones to make it hardly to be
given second thought in our coun-
try. Moreover it partakes OF other
dangerous practices which at this
time particularly. might be shown
to be almost unpatriotic. We prob
ably will bring down upon our
heads the opposition of the single
takers for making this statement.
but several years experience on a
State tax commission lead us to the
belief that antique as some OF our
State tax laws are they never could
be benefited by a change to sin
gle tax provisions.
Doctor Garfield may not have
been called on the political carpet
for some of the things he has done
since taking charge OF the govern
ment's Fuel Administration but
there are several prominent Demo-
cratic politicians who want to call
him there.
The situation he has created has
brought down many embarrassing
statements upon Democratic heads.
and some OF them are to the effect
that if the doctor is not removed
from Federal activities-muCh as
one would remove a bad tooth from
an otherwise good set OF teeth

ing from the usual Democratic
roster when the fall campaign
comes on.

tion-the most uncomfortable feat

Watch Your Stomach
In the Summer Time

Hot summer days upset the
strong stomachs as well as weak
ones.
Your vital forces reach their
lowest level when the weather is
the hottest. Then the danger is
the greatest.
You can't guard your stomach
and bowels too carefully through
the long, hot season. Don't take
any chance. Indigestion, sour
stomach, that wretched, bloated
feeling, belching, food repeating,
pains that claw at stomach and
bowels and an endless train of
stomach ills that make life mis-
cradle are greatly aggravated in
the hot weather.
This year of all others-it is
vital that we keep our strength
and full power at work. The ex-
ira war work, change of detail
must be looked after because they
hit us in the stomach. And now

it is good news to tell you that
tens Of thousands are now using
EATONIC-for all stomach and
bowel ailments caused by too
much acidity with such truly won-
derful results that every one
should always have it in tn house.
EATONIC Tablets stop the cause Of
indigestive and dyspeptio ailments by
neutralizing the poisonous fluids, acids
and gases largely the result of super
acidity. This makes the stomach
pain-free and ready to perform its
proper work.
You can have a good appetite in hot
weather to eat the things you like
when you want them il you take ono
or two EAT0NIC Tablets after each
meal. Such quick, wonderful relief
would seem unbelievable but for the
fact that thousands OF sufferers every
where have received marvellous results
from EATONIC. Obtain large box
of EATONIO Tablets from your own
druggist who you know and can trust,
II they fail, go back to him and he will
gladly refund your money. Do this
today. You will then know what real
stomach comfort meansi in hot weather.

SOLDIERS adopted" BY PIG
Odd Mascot That History Records as
Attaching Itself to Company of
Kentucky Volunteers.

There Is In the history of the state
of Kentucky an odd incident in con-
nection with the invasion of Canada
by the Kentucky troops in 1912. A
company of volunteers, destined for
Selby's army, assembled at Harrods-
burg and formed a nucleus around
which the military recruits Of the
country gathered on the march to the
Ohio.
On the outskirts of the town named,
so the story runs, the company saw
two pigs fighting and delayed the
march to watch the combat. When the
march recommended 1t was observes
that the victorious pig was following
the company; and when the men en-
camped at night, the animal lay down
near at hand. OF course the soldiers
fed their plump recruit. The next day
the pig followed them, and this 1t did
daily on the march to the river.
