1t is hardly possible any longer for any
thoughtful man in America to seek to
mislead the ntion through ignorance or
through Misunderstanding of conditions,
to talk about our being in the war from
any spirit of altruism, unles altruism
consists in trying to save our family from
the burglar and the outrager who is
breaking into the house. 1t that it altru-
ism, then we went to war from altruism,
but not otherwise, Let us be honest be-
fore God and face the fact that we very
nearly lost our soul from lack of vision
and lack of natural altruism, and realize

of Water.
While q "bottomless pit" on the
farm Of John Gerson, Jersey County,
Ill.,, has been changing itself, a new
pit, not bottomless, but with less bot
tom every day, has been added to the
natural attractions of the place. Ger
son visited Jerseyville and told mer-
chants there Of the queer doing of
nature on the Gerson homestead. AS
a result, many visitors have gone to
the farm, which is fourteen miles west
of Jerseyville.
Those who visited the place relate
that at place near Gerson's barn q
circular patch of ground, twenty feet
in diameter, has given way and has
sunk to depth of about fifty feet. In
the middle of the big hole thus formed

yer dollar and steam is rising from
this opening, 1t is declared.
At the same time pond short dis
tance from the barn, which because Of
its depth has been known as the bot
tomless pit, has been mysteriously
drained of water. Its depth, as now
shown, is about twenty feet.
Gerson told his visitors that a week
ago he noticed that the circular patch
of ground was rising and falling, as if
powerful mole were at work beneath
The next day the sinking Of the earth
at this point began, he said, and when
the hole was fifteen feet deep his two
sons entered by ladder and examined
it, but they left when it appeared that
the bottom was vanishing beneath
them.

called for Locke's "Septimus" and

Il got Squads Magnesium all right.
because this here SQUAD sticks to the
drug business and doesn't get out any
books, which makes it easy. But
when fellows like Byers get out both
books and drugs it makes it pretty
bad for house husbands like me.
