?W AR. TALKS : By UNCLE DAN Number Three > i _ How War Methods Have changed Everybody Must Help. "Hello, Uncle Dan, Jimmie and I have been walting for you." "Sorry If I have kept you long," said Uncle Dan. "Your mother has been telling me how bashful 1 used to be. She said If a girl spoke to me I would . blush to my bair roots. Well, I re minded her of the time your father tirst came to see her and the joke we played on them, so I guess that will hold her for a while." Continuing, Uncle Dnn said: "You want to. talk more about the war, do you? Well, war methods have under gone roany changes and they are sttll changing. No two wars ore fought alike. In early times, the weapons were stones, clubs, spears, bows and arrows, swords, etc. In this kind of warfare, victory was with tho strong right arm. Men of enormous size and strength were the great warriors. The inven tion of gunpowder, however, hos changed all this. It has enabled men to kill one another at a considerable distance, and do lt wholesale. The War,' as we know it now, ls a combina tion of chemicals, machinery, mathe matical calculations and highly trained men. Just think of itt Airplanes, submarines, armored tanks, or cater pillars, poison gases, and curtains of <lro are all used for the first timo In ?his war; and they are destructive be yond anything heretofore known. "The methods followed by the kei ver and his allies are 'simply devilish. Ho must answer In hl?tory to tho kill ing of thousands of Innocent women and children. He has broken every ? ; International'law and every. rule of warfare; he has bombarded hospitals and undefended cities, sunk Red Cross ships on errands of mercy; he has de g stroyed cathedrals and priceless treas ures of art that eon never be replaced ; he has made slaves of his prisoners ; he has tried to get us Into war with ? Japan ; his emmlssarles have blown np our ships, burned our factories and fired our forests. He knows no mercy 1 or honor. The most charitable View I * to take of this blood-thirsty tyrant j ls that he ls crazy. , | "One thing ls certain," continued Un- j clo Dan, with, great emphasis, "Our j liberty, the saifety of our homes and ! our country, and the security of the ? world demand the speedy and abso- j lute overthrow of the kaiser and 1) crushing out once and fot over th?) reign of Prusslai) brutality." . How about .the Qbvioun people," *u<a W" le. V?nole ?.ioh rcpMod? "Tho splendid German people were happy, thrifty, prosperous and contented. They have been tricked Into war and made to ? suffer the tortures of the damned; they1 have been cruelly and .systematic ally deceived. Hod grant that the real facts may get to them, and If they do, Lord help the kaiser 1" "O? course the allies will win," said Airs. Graham. "Probably so," said Uncle Dan. "But % if we are to win, we must go the limit. vVe must check the awful destruction to . hipping by the German submarines, or we may not be able to get food and uppiles to our own men and to our al es; wo must also put hundreds of I loneands, mid pcrimps minions, of # . rst-ciu'fis soldiers lu tho battle line. "Food1 is'thV firstconsideration," tj? <.le Dnn continued. "Ko army can hold out against hunger. It ha? been said nt food will win the war, and thin In 1 rgoly true. Hence tho Importance af the. farm in the war plans of our conhtty/' ; ,. ... ,. , 41 Ni rs.

"No, a thousand times no," said Un cle Dan, Nt ri king th? table so hard to i phneizo his protest that he tipped ^ over :avasb of flowers. "We must h we no class legislation. The duty to .m is the common duty of all, and no class must bc relieved of this ob ligation. The question of exemption munt be a personal ono and decided by the facts Surrounding each case. In no other wey caa we have a square jg oc.il, and to Insure this, lt ls the duty of congress to pass Immediately the Chamberlain bill, or some such mens lur*. which ls fair to all classes. It would settlo all these questions and do lt fairly. Safety now and safety hereafter demands such legislation, ?gt and let me suggest that you and your friends'get busy with your congress man and senators and urge them to prompt action.

Doctor Sentenced to Life Imprison ment for Murder of Brother. Goochland, Va., Jan. 8.-Dr. Asa W. Chamberlin was to-day convicted of the murder of his brother, Judge Albert P. Chamberlin, and sentenced to life imprisonment in the State penitentiary. Motion for an appeal has been filed by counsel for the de fense. The verdict came this morn ing, after the jury, sitting In the case since last Wednesday morning, had deliberated only 48 minutes. When the foreman announced that a verdict had been reached, a hush set tled over the half-filled court room in which counsel for State and de fense had fought a thrilling six-day battle. The tired little wife of the accused man, and his daughter, who bad come across the continent to comfort him, sat beside Dr. Cham berlin when the jury entered. Nei ther they nor the doctor showed emo tion when the verdict was read. Immediately after the verdict was rendered.

It was in vented by Lewis Carroll, the author of "Alice in Wonderland," who was a professor of higher mathematics in Oriel College, in England. He loved to Invent mathematical freaks like this: Put down the number of your liv ing brothers. Multiply by two. Add three. Mul tiply the r?siilt by five. Now add the number of your liv ing sisters. Multiply the total by ten. Add the number of your dead bro thers and sisters. Subtract 150 from the total. The right-hand figure will be the number of deaths; the middle figure the number of living sisters, and the left-hand figure the number of living brothers. MOTHER 1 DON'T TAKE CHANCES IF CHILD'S TONGUE IS COATED - v If ("ross, Feverish. Siek, Bilious, Clean Little Liver and Bowels. A laxaHve to-day saves a sick child to-morrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sour. Look at the tongue, mother! Tf coated, or your child ls listless, cross, foveiish, breath bad, restless, doesn't oat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children's ail ment, givo a teaspoonful of "Cali fornia Syrup of Figs," thou don't worry, because it ls perfectly harm less, and in a few hours all this con stipation poison, sour hilo and fer menting waste will gently' move out or the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. A thorough "inside cleaning" is oltlmes all that, ls necessary. It should be the first troatment given in any sickness. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a bottle of ""Call/ornla Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, childron of all ages and for grown ups plainly printed on the bottle.

So if you can spare the space I will try to give you some Idea of "mail time" with us here at the camp. "Mail Time" out at Camp Jackson is an occasion when all the men, by ono impulse, are drawn to the postman aT*d listen with eager ears for the calling of their names. In each face there is a story as the stack of mail dwindles and the hopes of each rises or sinks. Then the last letter is in the box and the mall man turns away from hts task; and there are but two classes of individuals to be seen the lucky and the unlucky ones. The appearance of their faces will tell the story of whether o* not the mail man has been kind with "the boys." Even the important function of eating must give way to that of going for the mail. The arrival of the postman" is sure to be a signal for a seueral move ment losvard 'ho rows of pigeohhoiea, whore ihej eagerly crowd shout the bato, t't hiaijf. There 's <t hi?di. Rad i for a brio-.' ihn? Mic- sound of a pin failing coubt bo lieu ti) Thc Brat leum goes into the box. There is a demonstration of the reflex action, for Instantly the face of some soldier is lighted with a smile. As other let ters are posted the number of smiler increase. To an outsider there can bo no ap preciation of the meaning of "mall time." The sound of scurrying feet, means nothing to him until he sees tho look on the faces of those boys as they crowd about the mall box. When one ls illumined with interest, the average person will pause, and the longer he gazes.the deeper will become his Interest. Even when the mail is posted the thought of those boys, wide-eyed and with rapidly beating hearts, is a picture not soon to be forgotten.* y The contents of tho letters, it \yould seem from observation, vary greatly, for upon some faces there is every appearance of favorable news; in other instances there is that sad look which tells, much as a mute per son might, that the intelligence ls not all that cbuld be desired. There is a heatly addressed letter, plainly showing the touch of the fem inine hand. No mind reader is re quired to tell that the "girl back home" has gladdened the heart of the absent lover. Others may be seen, written in a manner which shows a slight trembling and appar ent nervousness which cannot be con cealed. Looking again it will be seen that there is a trace of moisture In the eyes of the reader. Something mother has written has touched the young, tender heart. Mail time is over, and every ono turns away to awit tho coming of tho next mall. The same thing is then repeated. Each day it ls the same; tho same little comedies, tho same little tragedies are wBnessed about tho mail boxes. ? Some of these days a Kiley or a Kipling is going to? chanco by on some such occasion, and there will bo one of the greatest poems yet pro duced. Only a master hand could picture tho pathos of lt all.
