"There she goes again, said the farmer
to the lightning rod man who had called on
him for the purpose of making sale, as an
old hen flew out of the barn cackling to
beat the band. ssShe does that stunt four
or five times day. when go to get the

How about you lightning rod men, just the

MIR. Rain

He came stepping up the walk,
Step-step-one-t
Not word of neighbor talk,
Not how-dy-do.
At the latch he fingered slow,
On the wall he family raped;
Stealthily moving to and fro,
Tip-tip tapped.
Knocked his knuckles sharp and quick
On the western windowpane;
Gave signal, Click! click! click!
Hello, Mr.. rain!

Round thy table to be fed.
'Tis Thy gift,-our daily bread.
As we gather to be fed
Nations plead for daily bread
Fighting sons and anguished mother,
Orphaned children,-all together
Pray to Thee for daily bread.
At Thy common table, Father,
Ask we for our daily bread.
God, All-Father, hear our prayer!
Move our hearts and minds to share
With Thy children at Thy table
This. Thy gift of daily bread,-
Sacred gift of daily bread.
Lest they perish. swift and eager
Share we now our daily bread.
Give through us, 0 great ALL Father,
To Thy children, daily bread!.

Where Do l Sleep Next?

Where Do Sleep Next?
I've slept in cradles,
I've slept in arms,
was baby then
Unconscious of wars alarms.
I've slept on the prairie
Shooting the duck and the goose,
I've slept in the bush
Hunting the elk and the moose.
I've slept on steamboats,
With my bed on the deck,
And I've slept in church
With kink in my neck
I've slept in fields,
Under the stars,
And I've slept on trains
In old box cars.
I've slept in beds
Of purple and gold.
I've slept out in Flanders
In the mud and the cold.
I've slept in dug-outs
With the rat and the louise,
And I've slept in France
In fairly good house.
I've slept in barns
On beds of straw.
I've slept in sheds
Wi nae bed at a.,
I've slept in billets
On floors of brick.
I've slept in yards
Alongside of rick.
I've slept in most places
Where you can't get rest,
And I've slept with those little
Grey things in my vest.
I'm sleeping now
On stretcher of wire.
And pray my last sleep
Will be near fire.
I'm tired of the wet,
The mud and the cold,
And won't be sorry
When l sleep in the Fold.

Impressions
Leaves From Oar Poets.

For moment no longer remembered the
trenches
With their incredible turmoil and their
lightnings unloosed
And the broken bodies and unheeded dead.
For just moment beheld a picture of
millions of women:
Some with soft cheeks and some with with
cred cheeks,
And all their cheeks wetted with tears.
And their mouths were like the mouths of
tragic masks,
And they were staring at nothing, despair
ingly-
Millions upon millions of women +.
1t rained on Decoration Day, after all;
And the music and parading had to be Civ

And there were no flowers placed on the
graves.
'sIt is sad that it should have rained on
Decoration Day
This was the saying l heard on all sides.
But thought how the grass would be
abundant
And weave its fabric of consolation over
the mounds
More beautifully, because of the rain.
And so welcomed the rain on Decoration
Day:
The new moon and the evening star were
close together
So close that thev might have been whisper

Yet knew in fact that their nearness was
an illusion
And that they were really millions of miles
apart,
And have seen man and a woman, SEEM
ingly well mated,
Walking side by side and understanding
each other
Before their sentences were half spoken,
So that people said of them, "They are very
close together"
And have thought of the new moon and
the evening star.

Last Years Experience Proved Oieum
Eucalyptus (Eucapine Salve) is
Most Effective Preventative
Known.

Get out your jar of Eucapine Salve,
or; If you have none, go to the nearest
drug store at once and get a family
jar of this well-known nose and
throat sterilizer. Sterilized morning,
noon and night by shifting the Euca-
pine up into the nostrils and rub a
little on the back of your tongue,
whence it will spread to the throat
and nostrils, thus sterilizing the nose
and throat.
The chief ingredient Of Eucapine
Salve is Oleum Eucalyptus, the nom
poisonous anteseptic whose power to
prevent influenza was first discovered
in the London Epidemic of 1891, and
was so effective in the epidemic of in
fluenza throughout America last year.
In addition, Eucapine Salve contains
just enough camphor, menthol and oil
of white pine to make it soothing,
healing and delightful to use. Even
the babies enjoy it. Ask any well in
formed physician and he will tell you
that Eucapine, though originally de-
signed for the mothers use with her
children in colds, Group and to pre-
vent pneumonia, is the best and most
agreeable antiseptic you can use to
sterilize the nose and throat of young
and old alike Any drug store can

SCIENTIFIC DEVICE
CHANCE DISCOVERY
sTETHoscoPE Is NOW INDIs-
PENSiBLE TO PRACTICE OF
MEDICINE.

Just one hundred years ago Rene
Theophile Hyacinthe Laennec, one of
the pioneers Of modern medicine, OBJ
serving some children playing in the
gardens of the Louvre, listening to the
transmission of sounds along pieces
of wood, conceived the idea of utiliz-
ing this method for listening to breath
sounds in examining a patients lungs.
He went home, fashioned a tube by
rolling up some blued paper and then
experimental with this in his ward
at the Necgar hospital. From this in
cident in the garden dates the modern
.'stethoscope," an instrument well nigh
indispensable in the modern practice
of medicine.
The early stethoscopes contrived by
Laennec, were unlike those generally
in use in this country at the present
time, for they were constructed to
be used by one ear only. Nevertheless
the original Laennec type is still
widely used in European countries.
To us, who are accustomed to the
scrupulous cleanliness of everything
about the modern hospital, it is curious
indeed, to learn that the filthy condi-
ton of the patients in the hospitals
in Laennec's time made it repugnant
to physicians to listen to the sounds
in the lungs by placing the ear directly
on the chest of the patient.
Laennec gave his invention the name
by which the device is still known,
deriving the word stethoscope from
two Greek roots, one meaning the
"chest" and the other Ito observe
Or regard"
In using the stethoscope the instru-
