the border he would meet with innu-

of course. was untrue. These un-

draft law of the United States, adopt

purposes had in view by the United
States, kept many from going to Can

citizen army of the United States
was quickly moblized, and contained

were prevented from going to Can

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it,
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know Of
has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that so many people claim, it fulills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
SwampRoot by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, n. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
Large and medium size bottles for sale

WORK. AND PLAY TOGETHER
By MRS. PRESTON F. eAss.

BY MRS. PRESTON r. GASS-
Very little children of two and three
yenrs require the companionship of
other. children in work and play as
much us those of recognized kinder
garten age. The child of two is In
tensely interested In the activities OF
children four. five and six years old,
and is able To Initiate. enlarge his
knowledge and experience, and even
share in their activities. The activi-
ties of the adults about him, while they
can be initiated and in some measure
shared by lin, cannot have the same
value in his mental or physical devel-
Opment.

ested but when the four-year-old saws

sibly making some toy that will be
used by the little one, he is more than
he can. Watch an adult try to amuse
this two-year-old with new box of
blocks. Invariably the blocks are piled
high for steps, towers. arches and so
forth, and the little child finds great
delight in sending the blocks tumbling
with n crash TO the floor. He takes
no particular pleasure in the building
of one block upon another. and we
think he has not yet reached the age
for building. Now the group of older
children making structures with these
same blocks. do not pile them one up
on another, but lay them side by side,
TO form the walls of II house for the
doll or 81 barn for the woOlly dog. And
Immediately the little one is interest

the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-

Fortunately, when we built our six
room bungalow we provided a nursery
for our little ones, II large practical
room with fireplace and built-in
shelves, so that our group found space
for all Indoor activities there. Any
room not needed for other purposes at
the time of the school session might
be used equally we'll.
AS u center for outdoor work and
play, we had sandpile under the
trees. This had been left by the build
ers, and to close IL in the children dug
trenches on four sides, into which we
inserted planks.
Baby Center of Attraction.
For pets we had goldfish. mother
bunny with little ones, and our own
tiny baby of three months. The baby
served as center for many of our
doings; many times our songs we're
sung to him, our houses of blocks made
for him. our table constructed for him.
The children watched him grow
through the months and he was the
real handspring of our group life.
Since the group was made mp of
children of varying ages. each younger
child depended ON an older for lender
ship, assistance and consideration.
The five-and-six-year-olds learned to
lend n hand to the four-year-olds and
to be patient and kind with the littlest
ones.
Having ncighborhood nursery
school has tremendous advantage for
the busy mother who has difficulty in
finding time for uninterrupted work
and play with her own child. Children
will play contentedly together for long
hours, especially il they are provided
with n few patetlaIs 10 WORK WIN.

cAlLD's EVERYDAY EDUCATION
BY KATHERINE sEE6E.
(Author Of "kindergarten Aetivities.)

I'm one of her interesting and illumi-
mating articles published by the Out
look Elizabeth Childs quotes at length
of Education" In which the trials of
the college with uneducated high
school students. OF the high school
with Nneducated grammar pupils. and
of the grammar school with unedu-
Gated children from the homes are con-
vincingly set forth; the conclusion be-
ing that many child arrives in the
kindergarten "a badly damaged arti-
cle.'
Kindergartners know this tD be true.
When the new group comes in in Sep
tember its members can at once be
roughly classified Into two divisions,

former are the teachers delight, the
latter her problem. The former can be

friction or loss of time. The latter

The Mothers Viewpoint.
Now what has happened ut home to
two such littir creatures equally en-
dbwed mt birthi What is the reason
for this unhappy difference? The an
swer is in the fact that the mother of
the one child from the first intimation
Of its existence has consciously or sub
consciously reasoned with herself in
some such way as this: This little
new life will come to me possessed Of
Il growing body. and expanding mind
II developing soul. During the first
years his growth will be so rapid and
SO vigorous that what he learns will
set the tendencies for his whole fu-
ture. He will get in proportion more
education in the first five years than
In the twenty which follow, and this
education will be an everyday educa-
tion. During all his waking hours he
will be learning observing. absorbing.
Everything he sees, everything he
hears. everything he does Will count.
II want him to be strong, alert, wise
and good must begin Mt the beginning
and carry on: must learn from the
best authorities how to care for his
precious body; | must take counsel
with experts In child training for the
sake of his opening mind; l must talk

must know where he is and what he Is

BOUGHT a Larger One.

: Mary Ellen's father was II garden
enthusiast last summer. His onions
could not be used until they were
larger than his neighbors; :, his cab
b,fges had to become mammoth heads
before they could be harvested. In
every way his slogan was, Let things
grow until they reach their limit"
The other day Mary Ellen's aunt
took her to town to buy II toy piano.
She looked at several. and auntie had
almost decided to buy one of medium
size, when she noticed that her small
niece wished to tell her something.
Obligingly she leaned over to have this
warning whispered into her ear:
Don't you think we'd better let that
one stay here and grow while?"
Then nuntie bought the larger one.

Those of us who are past middle age
are prone to eat too much meat and in
consequence deposit lime-salts in the
arteries, veins and joints. We often
suffer from twinges Of rheumatism or
lumbago, sometimes from gout, swollen
hands or feet. There is no longer the
slightest need of this, however, as the
new prescription, rAnuric," is bound
to give immediate results as it is many
times more potent than lithia, in Kidding
the impoverished blood of its poisons

MASSACHUSETTS WILL
TAKE NO BACKWARD STEP
Apparent Success of Four Per Cent
Beer instruction to Legislature Will
Not Result in Legislation Legaliz-
ing Beer

The brewers won an empty victory
in Massachusetts when they secured
a majority in favor of four per cent beer
in those districts where the question
was ON the ballots The Boston
Transcript says:
Liquor men who are already
Boosting that four per cent beer
legislation will be enacted by the
general court of 1920 just because
fragmentary and unofficial re-
turns on the referendum at last
Tuesdays election under the pub
lie policy act trend in its favor
in those Senatorial and Repre-
sentative districts where the
question appeared upon the Off
cial ballot, are counting their
chickens before they are hatched."
The Transcript then quotes the
President OF the Senate, Edwin T.
Midnight, and Speaker of the House
Joseph T. Warner, as being unequiv-
ocally opposed to any backward tenn
perance legislation. 1t is not thought
possible that enough votes could be
mustered in either branch OF the
Legislature to fly in the face of the
Federal statute which defines intoxi-
eating liquor as liquor OF one-half Of
one per cent alcoholic content.
Aside from these facts the blank
ballots have not yet been counted and
under the law whereby the instruction
vote was taken the yes vote must be
a majority of all votes cast in the dis
trict at the election whether the yot-
ers expressed their opinion on the
particular issue or not That is, the
yes vote must outnumber the sum of
no votes plus blanks.

Old Scotia's Grandeur
George McGinnis

Although Robert Burns sang the
praises OF John Barleycorn in verse,
he became a victim of the universal
drinking custom of his day and died
at the early age OF 81 In his last
days he took to the tavern and wasted
his heaven-born talents on drunken
Doors. His "Cotter's Saturday Night"
is one of the best poems ever penned.
He pictures i'll sublime poetry the
Cotter closing a well-spent day in
Bible reading and prayer After the
family altar scene the poet sings:
From scenes like these old SEQ
tia's grandeur springs
That makes her loved at home,
revered abroad.
Princes and lords are but the
breath of kings.
"An honest mans the noblest
work of God"
Scotland will win her dry fight in
1920 because she is a Bible reading,
praying nation, and because the wo-
men vote.
Scotland is awake to the fact that
over 300 passages of Scripture de-
nounce the drink-takcr, the drink
maker and the man who would IL
cense it.
With Mrs. Lloyd George leading the
women and "Pussyfoop Johnson har-
pooning Demon Rum, there will be
something doing in the land of the

eyes on Scotland and the men who
fought so bravely in Flanders field
will not disappoint those who have

The world is indebted to Scotland
and because of her leadership she
owes it to the European world to
pioneer the way and blaze a new trail
for human freedom in the liberation
of the drink slave. The white flag oil
