NOT QUITE WHAT SHE MEANT
Godmother's Unqualified Assertion
Must Have Given Officiating Min
lister Somewhat of Shock.

The archbishop of York, formerly
Doctor Lang, who voiced the views of
labor so technically in the house of
lords in the debate on industrial I'M
rest, is both man of wit and a bril-
liant raconteur. Though he now lives
in palace and has salary of $4,000
a year, he knows the working classes
as few men do.
I liked particularly a story he once
told me (by way of illustrating the diff
ficulty the poor have in understanding
the archaic language of the prayer
book) of a woman who was standing
godmother to child and who, when
she was asked If, in the infants name,
she renowned the devil and all his
works, the pomps and vanities of this
wicked world, ETC., replied eagerly,
Yes, yes, 1 recommend them all p

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would adj
wise our readers who feel in need of such q
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

THE BOYS IN THE WAR

There are some who may be in the
pacifist class or inclined to favor Ger
many, that may think the young men
Of this country should not be in the
war-should not be in the trenches,
should not have been on the Tuscania,
should not be in the great army
camps.
Stop and think a moment.
In the first place this country was
forced into the war and the young
men who are in the great army could
not do otherwise than their duty
Here is a man who has an income Of
$4,000. Can he avoid paying a fed
eral tax? All must help fight and 9th
ers must pay the bill. Those who
are inclined to shirk their duty, who
are not in harmony with America,
should stop and realize that this war
is to suppress a cruel, lawless, auto
cratic war party. What for? For the
good of the whole world, the German
people included. When the war is
over these pacifsts and obstruction
lists will come to fully realize they
were wrong, that the war has accom-
plished a great good and that all will
benefit. The world cannot harmoni-
ously exist with such unreliable, de-
ceiving and arbitrary rulers as now
control Germany, and the sooner the
world unites to suppress the evil the
sooner will the great war end.

HOW SOCIALISM LOST IN
RUSSIA

When the revolution came in Rus
STA, Kerensky, a socialist leader, as
sumed the leading role. From what
can be cleaned, Kerensky was an
ideal socialist. He did not believe
in people being governed-he thought
each one should act for himself. That
is one of the fundamentals Of the
creed? What happened. Soon the
whole empire fell to pieces. There
was no restraint and everybody pro-
ceeded to act without a government
From this state of affairs the tide
turned with Lenine and TrotZky at
the head of affairs. An autocratic
government followed, leaders were
murdered, rights of people were ig-
nored and property seized. 1t was
found the socialist idea would not
stand alone, and the other extreme
was reached by the very leaders who
had been preaching it's dostrines. AS
before said, many ideas in socialism
are very fine, but they are not whole

where great diversity exists.

PHONES AND FOLKS

Many little courtesies and acts Of
consideration there are to which TWEEN
tieth century men and women need to
pay attention. But none is more need
ed than regard for the feelings and
time Of others in the use Of the tele-
phone.
The telephone is a huge conven-
fence. 1t is a time saver. It has be
come indispensable il modern bust
ness and social life. But its abuse is
great-so much so that busy men and
women otter wonder ifr it is not as
much a nuisance as a blessing. It's
very convenience makes it a handicap.
BY use Of the telephone thousands
of selfish persons are enabled to get
in touch with and trespass upon the
time of busy men and women who
could not otherwise be imposed upon.
Such persons are enabled to call busy
people and not only keep them from
transacting business, but prevent the
line from being used for urgent mat
tiers. One of the greatest annoyances
OF everyday business life is the repeat
ed Line busy" when one wants to
get a person on a matter of urgent i'm
portance.
After all, why should one person call
up another, and without knowing or
trying to learn if he is busy, infict
long talks upon him to the possible
detriment of his work? What real
difference is there between that and
intruding oneself in person? How
much more considerate it would be,
and how much more gracious, to in
quire first if there is time for a con
versation! And how much more cour.
teous to suggest a later call if the 9th
Baraboo weekly news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1912-197?, 1918-02-28
er is engaged now!

A few days ago a very busy man
was called up by lady who at once
volunteered to telephone later if he
were busy then. This was the first
consideration of the kind he had re-
ceived in months. So much gratified
was he that, though then in a confer
-ence, he said he would be glad to
have her explain her mission at once.
She did so, and he was still more graf
flied to learn that her purpose was to
inform him Of a matter of public in
terest in which he was deeply inter
ested. This busy man carries with
him still the most pleasant impression
of that lady's thoughtful consideration,
and he says he is going to be just as
thoughtful of other busy folk.
In our use Of the telephone we
need to have more consideration of
this kind for the feelings of others.
Long conversations, commonplace
visiting" over the telephone, should
be barred entirely. If we will, we
can make the telephone the great
blessing it was intended to be instead
Of the unnecessary annoyance it fire.

HOW FRANCE TEACHES GER
MAN

In it's resolution urging the study of
the German language in the grade
schools, the Milwaukee Turnverein
stated that German was being taught
in the schools Of France despite the
war. Wishing to learn the facts Of
the case, The Journal wired M. Lau-
zanne, editor of LIE Matin, Paris, who
is one of the chief members Of the
French high commission to America.
In reply, M. Lausanne said that while
it was true that the German language
is still taught in French elementary
schools, it is because fifty years of
experience has shown that "It is most
important to read and to speak Ger
man if we want to unveil the German
plots and to be able to resist the Ger
man kultur," adding, 1--WE learn Ger
man not as a tribute of admiration to
Germany, but in the same spirit in
which an explorer learns the idiom Of
the savage tribes where he is going
to carry his explorations. We learn
German just as we have been obliged
to learn to fabricate suffocating gas
to protect and defend ourselves and
civilization" After quoting Mr. Lau-
zanne's reply as printed in The Jour-
nal, The New York Times says editor
tally:
"There is nothing of German
propaganda in the way German is
taught to French children. The
books are not prepared by Ger
mans and the instruction is not
given by Germans. The demand
for it, too, comes from French
parents, not from resident Ger
mans, as it almost always does
here. The difference is great
perhaps great enough to justify
the French in doing what is worse
than a waste of time in our own
elementary schools"
