your city on 1.-THE Reconstruction of
Society" The article is just about
four times as long as my remarks
were on Christian Science.
am sure Mr. Hughes did not hear
me deliver that sermon, and I feel
that his reply is somewhat a cam
outage" to set forth a wee bit of
Christian Science teaching. The
hook" is for Dr.. Pearce, the "bait'
for the public.
To the unwary, Mr.. Hughes resorts
to the patent" charge Of ignorance.
eff Doctor Pearce understood" This
! is the resource of the rank and file of
Christian Scientists 1 have talked
with-not reason, but ignorance.
/ | confess-confess it publicly, con-
TESS it with gentleness-that I do
not understand many things, among
, which is Christian Science. Some
/ friends Of mine who have not had as
many advantages as l have, under
stand it quite thoroughly CO. But l
do not You see, Mr.. Editor there
] are so many things about Christian
. Science which are not-at least to my
mind And, there are many things
which are not to the minds of Chris
| tian Scientists, which are to me. For
| instance there is the unscientific, the
pantheistic, the unbiblical, the con-
Trajectory, and, with due respect to
my Christian Science friends, the non
sensical.
I agree with Mr.. Hughes in his
strategical presentation of Christian
Science belief, that only one who
understands and demonstrates its
truths is qualified to talk about it au-
thoritatively. May then suggest
that the gentleman come to Baraboo
at a convenient time to us both,
and speak from the same pulpit on
'Christian Science-Scientifi and
Christian" Never having spoken on
the subject Of Christian Science, and
wishing to know both sides of the sub
ject, doubtless Mr.. Hughes would &C
cord me the privilege of speaking the
following night on "Christian Science
-Unscientifc and Christian"
Knowing that such addresses would
be delivered in friendly, respectful
way, many like myself who do not
understand but one side or the other,
might doubtless get out of the
breakers" to a mental terra firma.

Plain, Wis.
Editors Note: Dear reader what
would you say to Mr.. Yanke? 1t
looks like he ought to sell out and go
to Germany that he may help the
kaiser if he thinks he is such a good
man. Wonder if Mr.. Yanke has read
the two volumes by former Ambassa-
dor Gerard. Has he heard of the kali
ser's troops dropping bombs into
cities, killing women and children?
Has he heard Of submarines sinking
passenger ships without warning?
Has he heard of the false kilograms
and messages sent by the kaiser's
men? Does Mr.. Yanke know that the
Germans shoot men, women and chill
dren by the wholesale in Belgium?
Does he know that the Germans have

The News" is the letters from the sol
dier boys Among the many of these
letters worthy Of special mention
there is one in the Daily News OF

is from Otto RitzenthaIer to his

Whatever betides, it is something for
the mother to keep and treasure while
she lives It is the most pleasing SEN

If Germans bear this in mind and
help accordingly, the goal will
eventually be reached. Germans
only need to grasp the situation
and the future is theirs. Let
them show that they mean to main
tain Deutschtum and them emil
grafton may be directed to Amer
lea with impunity.
To an impartial observer it seems
that Mrs. Runge has ''grasped the sit
uation." and intends to do her part
to the end that German influence shall
survive in America. The German kai-
ser in a speech delivered in Berlin on
June Is, 1896, said:
The, German empire has become
world empire. Everywhere in
distant quarters of the earth thou
sands OF our countrymen are Iiv-
ing. German guardians, German
science, German industry, are 60
ing across the sea. 1t is your
earnest duty, gentlemen, to help
bind this greater German empire
The thought comes, what must
those boys think that have left their
home and all that life holds dear to
them to go overseas to bare their
breasts to German bullets, to the
deadly German gases that burn out
the lungs, to the chance Of death and
torture, to crucifxion by the hands of
brutal German soldiers or to all the
horrors of bursting shell and bomb.
When they sit at night in some out
building or dugOut trying to acquire
a few words of the French language.
that they may be in closer touch with
our allies, what must they, who are
fighting our battles under foreign
skies, to the end that we may rest
secure in our lives and liberties, think
when they know that back home in
Baraboo the language Of our enemies
is still being taught in our public
schools. The German nation is an
outlaw nation. By its many acts and
deeds it has placed itself without the
pale of Christian civilization. Let us
not in our schools, where the young
of the land receive their first impress
sion, encourage the propaganda that
German kuItur3 S destined to rule the
world. I am sure that the recent vote
of our board Of education on this sub
ject does not correctly represent the
sentiments Of our people, or even the
board itself. and that after mature re-
Fiction and deliberation, the resolu-
ton will be adopted when next pre-
scented, by the same vote by which it
was rejected before-three to one.

Editor BarabOo Daily News:
Please stop delivery Of The News
to No. 1T Eighth avenue, my resi-
dence, as my subscription expired the
23rd of March, and l have missed fully
20 issues in the six months. And I
am not tOdying to rotten city gov
ernment or any of it's officers or lend
ing any assistance to the pro-German
end of that government because "or
a change Of heart" well known to
be an impossibility where none but
a kaiser's heart if any is supposed
to exist. You will hear Of others Of
this same mind. Pork and sobriety and
the idea of being a safe custodian Of
the interests of people cannot exist
in one person. Also cut my local ads
out Of your paper at once. Duplicate

Editors Note: A man came into
The News Office a few days ago and
stopped the paper because his wife
thought we did not rail enough against
the brewers and "blind pigs" in Bar
aboo. Others stop because we do not
strew flowers in the path of the kai-
ser, and here is citizen who gets
into fiddle PADDLE because we quote
part Of speech made few days ago,
as we understand from his letter. If
things keep going along this line
much longer, it will soon be time to
pass the chloroform.

The NorwaIk Star
Baraboo, Wis.

The Norwalk Star, like meteor bright
Has flashed athwart the northern
sky,
Illumed the darkness of the night,
And shown where traitorous vipers
lie.
Vipers that ever lie in wait
Biding a chance to launch theit
sting,
And on Wisconsin, noble state,
The censure of good people bring.
Great heaven! 1t should be LOAD
enough
That she should bear the brand Oh
shame,
For reams of rank disloyal stuff
Set forth by one I need not name!
In any spot in our fair land;
Let truth and loyalty decide
The ground on which to take our
stand.
Thank God, there is a Hesselgraye
To guide the progress of The Star.
If all men were as true and brave,
There soon would be an end of war.
For cruel war can never be
Where there is shown real truth and
right
These principles now all may see
BY Norwalk Stars clear, steady
light.

FOOD SUPPLY AGAIN
WORRYING GERMANY

LONDON, April 20.-A despatch to
the Daily Mail from the Hague quotes
the German Food Controller, Won Wal
dow, as follows:
Owing to the small supplies no
satisfactory solution of the economic
problem can be attained Whether
the present bread ration can be main
tanned depends on supplies from the
Ukraine. But there is good hope that
we can get throuhg the next harvest
ithout suffering altogether too great
privations.
Lord Rhondda, British Food Con-
troller, in an interview with the press
today said:
1T is a fight, not for Paris, but for
food. The cry of Give us bread" re-
sounds necessarily Hindenburgs
ears, and that cry has set the German
legions moving. The Russian and
Roumanian granaries proved to moth
ing but mirage The despairing
energies of hunger are at the heart Of
this fury of battle.

LIBERTY SHOES"
And WAR SUITS"
ARE PROBABLE

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 49,
America may soon wear Liberty
Shoe and War Suits"-to be manu-
featured at low cost on large scale
and with very few new shapes.
Models and specifications for the
shoe and suits are being considered by
the war industries board. While
the board officials say neither is i'm
minent, ultimately the country must
prepare for the Standardization. If the
example of England is followed, the
tan shoe will go.
The standard war suit will be
made in a few designs of standardiz-
ed material and with a retail price
fxed.
Rapidly rising prices on necessariss
resulting from tremendous war or
ders which are usurping the output of
clothing and shoe factories, make nee
essary firm action by the government
to protect the civilian consumers. Off
Gals indicate that only standardized
clothing controlled by a sweeping
price-fxing policy covering every
stage of manufacture from raw ma
terial to the finished product will
save the country from economic dis
turbances if the war continues.

fully fifty per cent. in France since

better, his wages are better and he is

have the catching cold phobia even
more obstinately than the great
middle class families.
When it comes to the question of
household heating, here is where
your washerwoman has it over your
lazy parasite like a tent, for the de-
gree of warmth in the inhabited
portions of the home of the poor in
cold weather is something posi-
lively sickening, and the warmth of
the sleeping room particularly
makes that of your mollycoddle
steam-heated apartment seem al
most cherries.
Lack Of cleanliness may be sug-
gested as an explanation of the
prevalence of disease among the
poor. In the case of typhoid fever
and the other intestinal infections
Tin which flies play such a promi-
rent role) f1lthiness is undoubtedly
an important factor. A household
or other place that harbors flies at
any time of year is certainly a
filthy place. and the intestinal dis
cases are filth diseases if that title
can be applied TO any type of dis
ease
Crowding, too confines living
quarters. necessitaApg prolonged
intimate contact between the var
ious occupants at all times. is the
real cause of the undue frequency
of sickness among the poor. And
no one in power, no one with any
influence, dares to raise a finger
against the entrenched landlords
who gleefully and insolently gather
the profits from all this.
