Try Preventics At My Risk
With Book on Colds
Just to prove merit to show you how
quickly Preventics can and will check colds
or the Grippe I will mail you free on
request these samples and my book Simply
address Dr Shoop Racine Wis
Preventics are thoroughly harmless little
Candy Cold Cure tablets No Quinine no
laxative nothing sickening whatever
To check early Colds or Grippe with Pre
ventics means sure defeat for Pneumonia
To stfop a cold with Preventics is surely
safer than to let it run and be obliged to
cure it afterward Preventics will however
reach a deeply seated cold But taken
early at the sneeze stage they break or
head off these early colds That is surely
better that is why they are named Pre
ventics Promptness however is all-important
Promptness in the use of Pre
ventics may save half your usual sickness
Feverishness night or day with child or
adult suggests the need of Preventics
Write Dr Shoop Racine Wis today for
samples and booklet Preventics are sold hi

I am going to blossom a daisy said
Though the weather is cold and
bleak
What for said a neighbor lifting her
head
Its too early yet by a week
Said the daisy A voice is whispering
Speed
So Im wanted somewhrre I know
Well I am too wise such voices to
heed
How silly you are to go
Memorial day dawned cool and bright
The sun his warm rays gave
And there glermed a star of purest
white
On a soldiers lonely giave
Army Shoes
In Recollections of a Drummer Boy
the author Mr Keiffer describing va
rious difficulties resulting from 111 fit-
ting garments says
I There was a very small man who
had received a very large pair of
shoes and had not been able to effect
an exchange
One day the sergeant was drilling
the company on the facings right face
left face right about face and of
course watched his mens feet closely
to see that they went through the
movements promptly Noticing one
pair of feet down the line that never
budged at the command the sergeant
rushed up to the possessor of them and
In menacing tones demanded
What do you mean by not facing
about when I tell you Ill have you
put In the guardhouse
Why I did sergeant said the trem
bling recruit
You did not sir Didnt I watch
your feet They never moved an
inch
Why you see said the poor fel
low my shoes are so big that they
dont turn when I do I go through
the motions on the inside of them rt

I fit and bled and died he said
To serve my countrys cause
How that can be I cannot see
Quoth one Tho others jaws
I fit and died and bled they cried
There was an awkward pause
Then to the man who first began
This fuss the second said
Your talk is guff Tis clear enough
You may have fit and bled
But if you died your onery hide
Would now be worms instead
Whereat this guy with jolly eye
And quite a breadth of grin
To him replied Sir what I dyed
Was cloths because by sin
Since down I laid my sword by trad
A dyer I have been
Wise Words of General Lee
It Is well that the southern people
celebrate the birthday anniversary of
General Robert E Lee said Captain
Frank P OBrien
Apart from hia military greatness
General Lee was on the side of char
acter the finest flower of American
civilization Upon his reputation rest
ed not a spot
I recall now as I think of his life a
few thoughts of his that have won
their way into print and these alone
serve to indicate the fine temper of
the man
Duty Is the sublimest word in the
English language
A gentleman always feels himself
humbled when he cannot help hum
bling others
My name cannot be bought What
Influence I have with the southern peo
ple Is not for sale
General Lee made that reply soon
after the war when In his poverty he
was offered the presidency of a north
ern insurance company
There are only two more sentences
I need cite The first of these We
must all work now was written to his
son Robert In 1S6S and indicated the
spirit of General Lee In adapting him
self to altered social and industrial
conditions in the south The sec
ond contains his well known dying
words
Let the tent be struck
No Time to Drill In the Sixties
Old vets cannot march in fine order
like the up to date fellows At one time
they could when It was worth while
to expend the effort Now the tactics
have changed and If the men of 1861
wish to compete with the boys of 1909
on parade they have to go to school
and learn It all over again But the
truth is that in the sixties only a few
regiments comparatively pretended to
make a show on parade There was no
time to look after the manner of set
ting at the enemy It was just a hus 1
tie to get there somehow An old
vfs kju uo nmvcu Uul XkU ttL
of flag his corps carried Humph I
dun no Never saw a flag
Why said the questioner didnt
you hae i flag on drill and parade
Never tvid time to drill and pa

war
A PLAGUE OF ANTS
Tha Vicious Insects Arc a Nuisance in
Southwestern Africa
Ants white black and yellow are
a great nuisance in Nigeria suys
Charles Partridge In Cross Ulver Na
tives They march from place to
place In military formation Some cur
ry their young others bear food and
scouts and a fighting escort are always
on duty Their column looks like a
long black snake curving along the
ground
They leave behind them a well
formed road about four Inches broad
and half an Inch deep worn smooth by
the tread of the countless throng
They do not bite when the sun Is
high but woe betide the haptens wight
who comes In their way at other times
While traveling through the bush you
occasionally find them In possession of
a section of the road Perhaps you are
In the midst of them before you dis
cover the presence of your small but
fierce adversary The first man bitten
yells out something meaning Ware
ants and we ail hurry forward stamp
ing vigorously Those of us upon
whom the little warrlorshave fastened
tear off our clothes and nip the foes to
death My little black horse always
wanted to turn back when he came tc
a column of ants My dog Bob a na
tive used to dance like a bear on hot
bricks when the driver ants got be
tween his paws and had to be held
down while they were plucked out
One night I suddenly awoke with a
feeling that something was amiss All
the household pets such as snakes
lizards rats toads centlpeds and spi
ders seemed to be bestirring them
selves restlessly No sooner had my
foot touched the ground than 1 knew
what it was for a fierce bite told me
that the driver ants were upon us
On lighting a candle I found a col
umn marching across the floor and a
whole regiment attacking my bed I
roused the assistant district commis
sioner and eventually using wisps of
burning paper we drove out the en
emy Fire or hot ashes are the best
means to use for expelling them
A HOTEL DINNER
The Husband Ordered It and His Wife
Criticised It
On the midnight train ride from
town where he and hi3 wife had beeD
entertaining one of his best patients
at dinner and the theater the subur
ban doctor spoke bitterly
What a dinner And it cost 13
The cooking in these big hotels Is atro
cious They smear sauces over every
thing I suppose It Is to hide poor ma
terials
It isnt the fault of the cooking that
our dinner was a failure It was its
selection that doomed It
What was the matter with the se
lection
You should not have done the or
dering You have your meals chosen
for you almost every day In the year
It Is the women of people In our cir
cumstances who ought to arrange the
menus at restaurants Look what you
ordered Bisque of lobster a soup
with a body of thick white sauce
Sweetbreads cooked as usual with a
cream dressing Virginia bam with
champagne sauce a brown sauce as
thick as molasses Then for dessert
you took a chance on pudding Reine
Victoria candied fruit and lady fin
gers swimming In soft custard
Well how Is a fellow to know
Lobster soup sweetbreads Virginia
ham and pudding Relne Victoria it
sounds fine
But a woman knowB that it Is a
wretched combination of splendid
dishes It is the womans dull duty
to choose menus for 365 days in the
year She learns a good deal about
selection Yet when a sum of money
equal to a weeks food expenses is to
be squandered on one dinner at a
hotel It is the man who seizes the
menu and tries to look capable lie
makes a failure frequently as you did
tonight It would have been a pleas
ure for me to order a fifteen dollar din
nera change from manipulating din
ner for four on 1 But men feel too
important in a restaurant to submit
the menu to their wives for assist
ance Exchange
