The soldier ls ?\ necessary ind dis
Liticl ? diameter in every i ge and
0 very civilization, lu the eui lest rec
ords we have ot' any peonies wo lind
among them tho soldier-In war to
fight, in peace to watch; in war to
labor, in peace to wait. Ho was
produced tor a distinct purpose and
j labored for a definite end. The sol
dier was novel' free from tho respon
sibilities imposed by the nation or
1 he I ribo.
America has reached tho point in
this war whore tho hard jolts begin.
Our boys are in the llrst-llne linches,
; facing the (lennans, lt becomes
! more apparent every day that tliis
I war is going to be settled with the
sword. Bloody days uro ahead for
the American troops. Our soldiers
know exactly what Is ahead for
them, and they are ready to take
what comes. We are told that the
?best soldiers I hat ever fought on any
liront were the Canadians; and our
hoys tire Ibo same sort of stock, thc
same sort of men. the same sort of
lighters; and wo are not surprised
i
that le.< li cst big raid by picked Gor
I nut ti "shockers" was beaten. Dut If
Hf must lose Hie Mower of our man
hood in this ureat battle for freedom,
lei ns never forget the legacy of
i
splendor I ney leave to the younger
j generation. A generation soon
?passes; a life-time ls very brief. So
'. I think the young American soldiers
of our army will be ever sealed to
:iis as the greatest heroes,
j This is a great chance, too, to elu
cidate the essence of patriotism -the
j great thought that country-native
j land - comes before self and family,
j lt is a line time to teach the boys that
.they are. first of all. defenders, and
j thal before they can defend the lives
.they cherish, the homes they love, or
even their wives and children, they
I must be defenders of their native
: land. There are many young mon at
i this time who have not fully under
stood why they were called to tight
ill this war in lin rope. Wo cnn point
the men of to-day to this standing ob
ligation of true manhood, and make
them understand that the people are
the government. They will suddenly
recognize themselves as men in tho
loftiost sense of the term -as per
sonal defenders of honor, borne and
the loved ones. At this time there ls
un consideration of property or place.
This ls an opportunity for us to take
serious thought of tho stuff that
heroes aro made of; bow much sim
ple manhood counts, and that physi
cal perfection is demanded of a sol
dier. These aro not times when we
?an think ol' what is easiest; these
are days when we are called upon to
do the hard things In life, and to do
them like men and women. Our army
Is now out on ll hard, grim job, ami
the United states knows it. But no
nation's soldiers are so well fed, so
well (lothod and so well eared for as
our soldiers. Already (hey are the
erny of all the Kreuch .did English
soldiers. Gen, Pershing says there
is a limit to the wisdom of how
much .extra" ls good for a soldier.
He says the cheerful letters they got
from home constitute tue biggest and
most helpful "bit" WO can do. Let
them feel thal the women of their
homes are standing back of them
strongly and courageously.
Americans are noticeable every
where, and these, Instead of asking
about the expected German drive, in
(|tiiro how things aro going at borne.
And it is evident here that the war
must moan just as much to a village
in America as to a \illage in Franco.
There is aa endless chain from tho
towns to every American home. lt
runs through Gen, Pershing's office
across tho Atlantic to the seaboard.
Tho more ' read of this war the
more I realize what is ahead for
America before a victorious peace
comes. America must set her face
aa a flint, and bo prepared to accept
with grim determination whatever
comes in tho way of set-backs- -bc
causo every army has Its setbacks,
no matter how superior lt may bo.
I
Lot us encourage our boys on the
firing lino with patriotic letters: Tell
thom that you are proud of them- -
proud that they have made the sacri
fice, in answering the call to tho
colors; tell them thal you are stand
ing back ot thom and doing your blt.
! This ls what ono has said about
our President: "President Wilson
walks the tight rope; it stretches
across the sea, with its wrecks and
j dead; lie holds in his hands the rich
jest treasure ever lodged in the keep
ing of one man. That treasure is our
j very life, our liberty, our institu
tions, our homes, our lire-sides - our
all. Lei mo plead with you - let me
plead with all Americans- do not
shake the rope. Do not badger him;
do not heckle him; do not annoy him.
?Ho will make the journey safely over
this ocean of blood and peril. Keep
silent; hold your tongues. He ls
j the greatest man on earth to-day,
and his name will as such ride down

VDU NASTY CALOMEL
Starts Your Liver Without .Making
You Sick and ('minot Salivate.
IO very druggist in town-- your
druggist and everybody's druggist- '
j has noticed a great falling off in the
sale of calomel. They all gi\e the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Ton?!
is taking its place.
I "Calomel is dangerous and people
know it. while Dodson's Liver Tone
iis perfectly sale and gives better rc- :
suits," said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed hy every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs hut
a few cents, and If it fails to give
easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you
have only to ask for your money i
back.
Dodson's Liver Tone ls a pleasant- '
tasting, purely vegetable remedy, .
harmless to both children and adults, i
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or constipat
ed bowels, lt doesn't gripe or cause
inconvenience all the next day like
violent calomel. Take a dose of
calomel to-day and to-morrow you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated.
Don't lose a day's work! Take Dod
son's Liver Tono instead and reel j

That Hog Island Navy Yard.
Washington, .March 27.- Total
cost to the government for construct
ing the shipyards at Hog island, Pa.,
where 2 0 fabricated steel ships are
to be built under tho agency con
tract plan, will be between $3T>,000,
00U and $10,000,000, tho Senate
commerce committee was told to-day
hy John R. Freeman, of Providence,
it. I., an expert naval architect,
brought here to testify by the con
tractors.
This sum includes only the yard
construction and does not take into
consideration any work on ship con
struction.
An original ostimate was made at
$21,000,000, but offlcials of the In
ternational Corporation estimated it
would be much more than that.
Members of thc Senate committee
have expressed belief that tho total
cost would go beyond Mr. Freeman's
estimate.
