Nature Of Fatigue.

Fatigue is the presence in the blood
of poisonous by-products Of life COM
bustion. While we are awake the pol
sons accumulate faster than the sys-
tsm can remove them. When we are
asleep, when the life combustion Is
slowed down, the system removes them
faster than they accumulate. 1t Is
as though ashes accumulate In a stove
at such a rate that the fire had to be
put out every so often to allow q
chance to remove them.

THOSE EXTRA MEALS.

ing served in it's section and suggests
that it III fits in with the food admin

societies and Clubs-or even individuals
to serve foodstunS at a meal or
luncheon which is totally unnecessary.
To do so IS taking from the regular
daily supply just 50 mach meat, hour,
sugar, etc. The signal Goes on to say:
Looking at it III tn proper light.

The present order which brings the

JUNK.

worn machinery. The old binder haV-

one. The old machine was hauled into
a fence corner behind barn and the
weeds grew up and hid 1t and its iron
parts grew red with rust. It was az

and perhaps terrified, was getting out

Both were valuable, too valuable to
be lost. The Jew came to America,

bought somehow an old horse and 4
d!lapidated wagon. 1t was about that
time that the Russian that Russia
junked and the machine that the farm
er hauled aside and discarded got to-
cred the farmers junk, hauled It home
and piled It up. Nobody observed him

the pile Of junk grew the Jew grew

American spirit and caught on to

Stay by it. Stay by it as patriots

of which have been spent away from!
the continent asks his fatler rs Il
true the rumor that obtains here that
in the states PATRIOTISM has suffered
a check and that the people at home
are becoming ,uleWarm and not meet
ing this war halfway" Then he goes
on to relate that rumors come from
the mainland to the effect that we at
home are thinking Of our private con-
Germs and our profits and avoiding
sacrifice.
The way TO answer and refute hose
rumors is to meet our duty as those
lads met theirs and as they are meet
ing the war. with just one n ought
and that Of cur country and not Of
ourselves; to accept our duty and do
it: to get into tire game like men aad
women and meet emergency half way.
The rumor lacks truth. The country
is just beginning to arouse itself. Pa
triotism is at a higher point than at
any time since the war and will rise
higher. We have been derelict not
thru lack Of patriotism but thru
fabbiness that has come from years Of
fairness and prosperity: but we are
coming and coming fast Send that
word to the boys ahead.
Stick. Take Il as 1t comes. Learn
TO like It. Quit grouching over minor
things. Don't magnify your personal
sacrifice. Rather thank God that you
have the manhood and the spirit and
the right to sacrifice something for
country like this. Forget self for
time. Line up under the flag Back
up the boys with the rifles and tho
cannon. They'll stay. Every one OF
them. None Of us doub. that. Our
doubts are Of ourselves. Dismiss them
and replace them with determination
to stay to the last dollar and the final
sacrifice. Then you will be in the
war.

The Indians had been causing more
or less uneasiness among the early
settlers by threatening to drive the set
tiers out of the country. The Sioux
Indians seemed to be the most domi-
neering and insolent in their daily
actions. Finally Mr.. Mccurdy made q
trip to see Johnny Green (Che-me uss)
chief of the Musquakies, that part OF
the remnants OF Pottawattamies and
Foxes who had returned from the re-
servation in Kansas about 1850 and
settled again in Iowa. The chief and
a number of his warriors wer trapping
along North Racoon river in the vtcin-
ity Of the settlement Of the early
pioneers in that part OF Carroll county.
Johnny Green assured Mr.. McCurdy
that he and his braves would be
friends OF the whites as long as they
lived, a promise that was never brok-
en-.
The Siouxs became more abusive and
threatening to not only the early set
tiers but to their friends, the Mus
