Chicago, Sept. 30 tP-The Tun- iey- Dempsey affair echoed in Evans ton police court yesterday in a some what strange proceedings.

Why do so many. many babies of to-
day escape all the little fretful spells
and infantile ailments that used to
worry mothers through the day, and
keep them up half the night?
If you don't know the answer, you
haven't discovered pure, harmless Cas-
toria.. 1t is sweet to the taste, and
sweet in the little stomach. And it's
gentle influence seems felt all through
the tiny system. Not even distaste-
full dose of castor oil does so much
good.
Fletcher's Castoria is purely vege-
table, so you may give it freely, at

diarrhea. Or those many times when
you just don't know what is the mat
ter. For real sickness, call the doc
tor, always. At other times, a few
drops of Fletcher's Castoria.
The doctor often tells you to do just
that; and always says Fletcher's.
Other preparations may be just as
pure, just as free from dangerous
drugs, but why experiment? Besides,
the book on care and feeding of babies
that comes with Fletcher's Castoria is
worth it's weight In gold!

NOW THAT NINE
YEARS ARE GONE
Armistice Day Is Largely
a Time of Personal
Remembrance.

Nine years ago the armies of the
allies and Of Germany were engaged
in the last battles of the World war.
The armistice called on November IL,
1918, has as yet been only an arnis-
tice-a stacking of arms-with peace
on earth existing precariously at times
and in various localities.
BY custom Armistice day has be.
come day Of remembrance. We
stand for two minutes silent, to re-
fleet on those years. In all the con.
fusion, distress and poverty, left as
its aftermath, the purposes for which,
presumably, the war was waged have
been pushed aside by more immediate
pressing problems of national interests
caused by the war.
There have been riddles of ecOnom-
les, politics and national and personal
ambitions, to add to the confusion.
Combined, these clashing forces have
rendered impossible the fulfillment Of
our war aims and much of the time
have so obscured them that we forget
what they were, or that we ever had
any. -,.@ - .,..~
Desire to Forget War.
Americans have had another OBJ
stacle to a clear understanding Of
the war. The battlefields are in Eu-
rope, inaccessible to us, except for
tourists, but constant reminder on
the Europeans doorstep. Save for fam
lies and friends directly interested
we see little trace of the effect Of
the war upon our men. We have been
prosperous. Our skins were hardly
scratched by the war. And we re-
covered Quickly-sc quickly that the
war seems like a bad dream we wish
to, forget as soon as we may.
The shouting and tumult have died.
Armistice day has become time of
personal remembrance, dedicated to
the individual. We lay our offering
of respect at the tomb of the Unknown
Soldier in an effort to demonstrate our
admiration for the endurance, courage
and determination of common men.
We do not send up paeans for our
glorious victory, for we are sure mel.
Their of the glory nor the victory. Re.
joicing at the end of dreadful night
mare was the general emotion at the
close of hostilities and 1t has re-
NAMED the common sentiment.
Now the world is recovering slowly
from its shell shock and we begin to
see the war in perspective as the thing
of horror it was. After the armis-
tice 1t was safe to assume that those
soldiers who had had most active
service, talked least of their expe.
riences. There was nothing they could
say, except to tell the things they were
trying to forget. Memory of war to
them was mental anguish.
Memories of Horror.
