The Columbia State. That Inherited nates and jealousies are at bottom in me war is clear. To these have been added the commercial rivalries and racial antipathies which are the outcome of national Bullishness. As every man's educaiton in life makes him debtor to the past, these inevitable conflicts represent a past destroying itself. The life a man spends prodigally for national ideals is a sacrifice of an accumulated past which immolates itself on the altars it has raised. At the same time, the soldier lays down his future. Perhaps his death extinguishes his line. Then the advantage of his sacrifice, considered from the standpoint of family inheritance, reverts to distant kinsmen. A glorious death for one's country in such case may mean that one's immediate llnei will become extinct while tlio nation I gains. Acts of heroism add to the spirited capital of the race. The person lives 011 in his country's ideals. So imbedded do we become in the past that it is necessary for new forces to replace the old. The later lives of most men are intellectually but accretions to what is already there laid down in outline in youth. Hence irreconcilable differences arise among men. Ilut the young happily are not so burdened and the world advances. The toll of lives now being levied is a penalty of bearing old ideas into new relationships brought about by changes In the world. This is figurative of course. The changes are working themselves out among the old ideas in much the same fashion that the war is spreading among nations. Never in a decade could present Europe settle its problems with absolutely the same men. Not permanently. Only slowly is an Alsace-Lorraine forgotten. Fortunately, old Jealousies are hard to transmit and former enemies as soldiers may become friends as individuals. At home the soldiers of peace are laying down their lives in every whit as worthy a manner. The merchant, the professional man. the working man, are using up a certain amount of life daily. This labor is as noble as that paid out in the trenches, j Also, it is less spectacular and usually more satisfying. The man who, goes about his business and delivers j a good day's work to his employers; or to his clients is supporting as| durable an ideal as that of the warrior who dreams a bayonet into a miner s ureasi. i o nioi oui one s future in service to one's fellow man is magnificent though unheralded. The common man who does his duty as he sees it In commercial life will be found to be no skulker in time of war. If the past is to be destroyed daily, only the best should be preserved and its influences should be brought to bear upon the young of the race. To be born implies the need of development. The body is soon strong and the mind easily acquires its training Charecter is built up slowly by reflexes of personality upon environment. If the worst of the old order j is to pass away with the signing of treaties and the lapsing of the validity of the old slogans and formulas, it must come about as a sloughing off. In the new order man may then look with creative vision. Future in hand, ho must shape and mould himself in conformity with ideals as yet unimagined and press on toward a goal as yet unrealized. Ho must throw aside the obviously evil and weak by faith. Dally Thought.

The town that wants to grow and draw desirable population from the outside world to swell its own numbers must always make it a special point to extend a hearty and unfeigned welcome to new comers who give evidence from the start of becoming good citizens. Standinsr nlnof I'mm them and giving them the cold shoulder, or looking at them askance as they pass to and fro, just because they happen to be new comers in the community is one of the very worst forms of bad manners and has no tendency to exemplify the spirit which would induce outsiders of real worth to come and make their homes among us. The latter practice, however, is generally confined to that class of old timey villagers who for some erroneous reason or other have abrogated to themselves the notion that they aro the only real people in all the world. Many a good man who because of his true worth stood high in the estimation of the community from which ho came has on moving to another town been persistently snobbed for years by this class of citizens. No well regulated new comer Is going to make the slightest effort to "butt in" on the Inner circles of a community that Is new to him. Quite to the contrary, he is naturally going to be reserved and somewhat retiring in this respect and rather wait to be introduced into these circles. But the towns which have grown most rapidly and substantially In population have not been the ones that proceeded to construct an insurmountable wall against the new comer, but have rather extended to him the glad hand of welcome and have sought to make him feel that he was worthy of at least ordinary recognition in the everyday affairs of the community. The stranger of the correct poise will never be swept off his feet by such recognition, but it will only spur him on to prove his worthiness beyond a doubt. No well moaning and properly balanced stranger lias any objection to being tried and proved in the right way. New comers of the right sort li*.variably infuse new bleed and new life into the community and make 1only the better by their anting. imI should never be regarded by the |wHY PU2 : CHRIS' RFrnii $g> Wll WH : The Lai Where selecti : GIFT J Father, Mother, Siste # Parisian Ivory Toilet Ar ? duced, and we have som< # ticles.

J03' with everv 1 < / THE LANCASTER NEWS Splendid Lax For El litis Bern Prescribed by Well Known Physician for Many Years. The infirmities of age are especially manifest in a tendency to constipation, and call for treatment that will afford relief in an easy, natural manner. The rapid action of cathartic remedies and purgatives that shock the system should be avoided, more especially as the relief they offer is only temporary and is usually more than offset by disturbances to the vital organs caused by their viodent action. Nearly thirty years ago I)r. \Y. B. v itmnfii, luouuceuo, in., prescribed a compound of simple laxative herbs that has since become the standard household remedy in thousands of nomes. It ads easily and gently, yet wth positive effect, without griping or other pain or discomfort. Mrs. Rachel Allen, Galesburg, Kans., is seventy-one years old, and after using a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup l:epsin, wrote that it had done her a world of good and that she intends to keep it in the house always. Druggists sell Dr. Caldwell's Syrup "old liners" as simply so many sheep to oe fleeced by someone. On the subject of welcoming new comers in the community The Salisbury Evening Post gives U3 this timely and valuable paragraph, which we nvst heartily commend to the considerate reader: "A welcome for new citizens is the proper thing. Every man and woman and child coming to a town ought to be g'vcn a cordial welcome ir. some sem'-cfhcal ay. It is not only the duty of the individual coming in contact with the new comeis to extend a welcome and make them feel at home and among friends, but in a more formal way they should be made to know that the town bids them w?>on,? and >I,?!es them *?e fullest mttcj of t '(ess.
