Thrift for American People.

Somewhere in The Bee this morning will be
found sermon by Harry Lauder on thrift, adj
dressed to the American people. 1t is not at
all remarkable that this man, who has learned
the habit of saving in the hardest of schools,
should discourse convincingly on the subject,
but it is noteworthy that he has undertaken to
influence the most extravagant and unthrifty
people in all the world to give over their habits
of waste.
Lauder neither breaches nor practices par
simony; his personal ways in the matter of
money spending have been the subject of many
thoughtless jests among US, yet none who know
him we'll deem him stngy or even, as expressed
in the word the Scotch better understand
"pawky" to an extraordinary degree. But Harry
Lauder learned early in his life as collier lad
to give to each and every "bawbee" coming
into his hand its full value And this experience
qualities him to speakt us on the topic
For the present he advises saving as pa
triotic duty. Americans owe an enormous debt
piled up during the war This must be paid
and not until it is paid will the war be over and
the people freed from its clutch. Till that debt
has been discharged no individual in all the
land can escape its effect Therefore, through
thrift and the investment IN government secur-
tiles, the first steps will be taken to bring around
the liberation of the land from the load placed
on it by war.
1t is not advised that folks stint themselves;
only that each put by portion of his daily in
come, large or small, that in the end the ac-
>tumulation will be not only respectable but
potent beyond conception It was this habit
of the French people that enabled them to pay
so swiftly the enormous fine laid by Bismarck
ON that country in 1871. Out of the hoardings
of the British commoners came billions to
finance the war for ts.ree years.
LADDERS sermon is commended to ALL espe.
cially to the workers. They will profit through
following his advice. 1t is not fancy picture
he draws, but one of land financed by its own
people through exercise of moderation in spend
ing their earnings.

PEACE AND THE GERMAN FUTURE.

A "stern peace for Germany" is now fore
casted from Paris. Less could not have been
expected. German opinion is expressed by
Count Won Brockdorf- Rantzau, present foreign
minister of the empire, who says the delegates
from that government are not going to Paris
to sign on the dotted line, but to discuss terms
His views are quite at variance with what the
world has been led 70 expect from the confer
ence, and therefore i. is plain that either Ger
many or the Allies will have to modify require
ments.
Reading Won Brockdorff- Rantzau's formal
statement along with the state DOCUMENTS put
out by Won Jagow and other of his predecessors
in the foreign Office, the impression might be
gained that the German cabinet really believes
that it is to be allowed to dictate and not to
accept te-ns. 1t may be- but continuation of
the beautiful bluff, that the collapse was due to
hunger and not to inferiority of military
strength, put the German delegates will be deal
ing with men who know the truth, and who will
apply justice.
Dispatches from Paris covertly hint at con-
ditions that may be very distasteful to Ger
many, and even contain the germs of future war
Some dtf:culty may be found in meeting
French demands for The boundary of 1874, and
for the Polish dominion over certain regions
now essentially German. These delicate ques-
tons have not been publicly discussed, how
ever ample may have been private approach
France wants to be made secure against
renewed invasion, and is not willing to take
German assurances as substantial guarantees
This sentiment may be found among nations
generally. The next treaty of peace should be
more than scrap of paper.
A German people, freed from its aristocratic
rulers, determining its own destiny, may work
out its salvation and recover the respect of the
world and standing among responsible ma
tons But only suc!. Germany can be dealt
with on equal terms, and it does not exist now.

Hungary and People

Hungary has a population of 20.-
000. 900.
The area of Hungary is about
equal to that of the state Of New
Mexico.
Hungary is unusually rich in its
mineral deposits It's mines contain
almost inexhaustible quantities of
gold. silver. lead, copper. iron. coal,
and rock salt.
Hungary. like Austria, is inhabited
by several races. but since the ninth
century, while the Magyars invaded
the region from Asia and conquered
1t, they have controlled the govern
ment.
Self-govefnment through parlia-
ment in Hungary is of ancient origin,
being founded upon a charter called
the Golden Bull. which dates back
to 1922, and is thus almost contem-
porary with the Magma Charta Of
England.
Budapest. the capital city Of Hun
gary, consists of thefsister towns of
Buda and Pest. Lying on either side
of the Danube. just at that point
where it definitely sets SOUTH Pest
spreads itself out over the flat sandy
plain on the left bank. while Buda
occupies series of small and steep
hills on the right bank.
Empress Marie Theresa Germanized
Hungary as completely as she Ger
manized all her alienated Austrian
provinces, and German flourished as
the official, bureaucratic. scientific
and society medium in Hungary until
the Magyars broke loose from Aus
TRAN thraldom and secured their
political emancipation. Then Ger
man went to the wall, and today
there are millions in Hungary wholly
ignorant Of the German language.
The great national hero of Hun
gary was Louis Kossuth, whose men,
DRY Is revered by Hungarians as that
of Washington is revered by the peo-
pie of the United States. Kossuth
visited America in 1851, and it Is a
matter Of history that no foreigner
save Lafayette ever received at the
hands of the American people such
marks of esteem as were bestowed
on the Hungarian exile.
After the failure Of the Hungarian
revolution, of which he was the lead
err, in 1S49, Kossuth sought refuge in
Turkey. Austria and Russia demand
ed his extradition. but the Porte, re-
sisting all threats, declined to give
him up, in which attitude Turkey was
supported by England and France
At length the Intervention of Eng
land and the United States secured
his liberation, and at the beginning
of September. 1851, he was permitted
to avail himself of the invitation of
the United States to come to America
as the guest of the natoin. In New
York. where he landed, he was en-
Enthusiastically received. He attended
meetings and received Populations in
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washing
ton, Boston and numerous other
places. At the national capital a
great banquet was given in his honor
by the members Of congress-

OUR COLONEL.

Deep loving, well knowing
His world and Its blindness,
A heart overlooking
With measureless kindness.
Undaunted In labor,
(And Death was a trifle),
As swift as a sabre,
Direct as rifle.
All Man In his doing,
All Boy in his laughter,
He fronted, unruing,
The Now and Hereafter.
As stanch as a cedar
A comrade, a brother
o, such was The Leader
We loved as no other!
WHEN weaker souls faltered
His courage remade us,
Whose tongue never paltered,
Who never betrayed US.
His hand on your shoulder
All honors exceeding,
What breast but was holder
Because he was leading!
And still in our trouble,
In peace or in wartime.
His words shall redouole
Our strength as aforetime.
When wrongs cry for righting
No odds shall appal us;
To clean, honest fighting
Again he will call us.
And, cowboys or doughboys.
Wen follow his drum, boys,
Who never said Go, boys"
But always said "Come, boys"

Hints
Health and Disease.

Health may be defined as that
condition Of the body In which all
of its functions are normally per-
formed to the end that a feeling of
mental and bodily comfort is expe-
rienced. Eating, drinking and sleep
ing. work. play and rest, are factors
which should promote general feel
ing of well-being, that in turn should
manifest itself In the desire to eat,
drink, sleep. work, play and rest, all
normal functions which the healthy
human being Graves. Disease, on the
other hand, Is characterized by dis
turbed functions and to unusual SUBJ
1ective>~ sensations and objective
phenomena. The modern conception
of the causation of disease no longer
gives credence to the belief that its
causes are novel and mysterious. but
on the contrary. places them among
the actual phenomena of the phys
zeal world. 1t does not admit the
spontaneous development of disease
but places the blame on something
that has invaded the body from with
out.
When an extraneous cause acts IN
Juriously upon a person his organ
ism does not remain passive, but re-
acts with all its might to conteract
the cause and repair any defect the
latter's presence has given rise to.
This power of the body to protect
itself lays in defensive mechanism
evolved during countless ages of sue
cessful efforts to survive destruction
against harmful influences in the
universal struggle for existence. So
nicely Is the body's mechanism of
defense adjusted. that constant re-
adjustments are ordinarily made to
passing dangers without conscious
ness being disturbed. In this way
the body's health Is maintained.
Should, however, harmful influence
be unusually strong, then the reac-
tons of readjustment to which it
gives rise are correspondingly yigor-
GUS and widespread, SO that con-
seriousness Is disturbed, functions are
corrupted,> and most astonishing
changes in the external appearance
are observed.
These phenomena of reaction are
evidence of the battle that is being
waged by the body against a harm
full force, and collectively they con-
stitute the symphonies of disease. All
harmful influences are provocative
of disease; yet disease does not exist
unless the reactions are sufficiently
pronounced as to upset the orderly
unconscious functioning of the
body. There are many causes of
disease, yet they readily lend them
selves into division into four groups,
viz, mechanical. physical, chemical
and animate. The chemical and
animate are the most important, and
these we will discuss in our next in
stallment.

Agricultural Resources of Hungary.

The central regions OF Hungary are watered
by the Danube and Thesis rivers, and from their

ING FROM ENGLAND FOR
HOMECOMING.

Deadwood, May 1.-Old Black
Hills residents from as far away as
England are planning on returning
here to attend the Homecoming fes-
tivities which will be held the last
day of June and opening days of July
here and elsewhere in the Black
Hills. Postmaster ID. Ellington, of
the Lead postoffice, has received a
letter from London stating that
three old-timers of the Black Hills
who now reside there were coming
to the United States to participate in
the celebration. They requested that
an automobile be reserved for their
use on Spearfish day. The chief
feature of Homecoming week will be
the dedication of Mt. Roosevelt, near
Deadwood, in honor Of the memory
of the late ex-president and the un-
yelling of q monument to him on the
summit OF the mountain. The stock
men of the Spearfish district will be
allowed to furnish one stone for the
Roosevelt memorial, on which they
propose to have engraved the Roose-
welt cattle brands-an Elkhorn and
a Maltese cross.

slowly moving passenger train. He
was severely shaken. but in a. short
time was able to continue his jour
ney. He ran through this place and
had just reached the edge of town
when a freight train rounded a curve
and smashed into his motor. The
machine was demolished, and he was
thrown several feet, but escaped with
nothing more serious than a few
scratches. Peter Hansen, a brake
man on the freight, however, was al
most killed.
