When oid< r is restored, e.erybody bonders why everybody else lost his head. When President Wilson issued bis war praelomatiou and called upon the people of tile United States to cu.iserve their resources tor the struggle ahead, he did not • mean that they should stop spending money® He did mean that |seless expenditures should stop, but that was nothing new. Business consists of buying and selling. Pertain kinds of business are fundamental. The building business is oil” of them. There need be no curtailment in building or road construction. Let both public and private •useful building conitruction proceed. Production and handling of building materials and public and private construction work are fundamental industries of the country. Any tendency to suspend or post) one building projects is inconsistent with maintaining our prosperity. The country is prosperous.' Building investors should not hesitate to go ahead with their plans. Railroads should spare no effort to supply the building industry with the < a-s needed to transport materials G< veminent, state, county, and municipal authorities should encourage the continuance of all kinds of building. Road and street improvements in r.irticui ii should go on unabated. Bad roads and streets are factors of first important in the present high cost of foodstuff . Never before was the improvement ci' I highways so essential. The lumber, brick, cement, linn. % sand.'gravel, stone and other building materials industries are basic. Nefthf r Government regulations nor railroad restrictions should be imposed annecessarily io interfere with them. It any action is taken which results in the prostration »of so fundamental/, important industries, there is roll danger of a surplus of unemployed labor, a surplus of railroad cart and a crippling of business that will seriously embarrass the government m financing the war.

In one of his meetings at Boston the noted evangelist said: “I believe that every disease can be cured by some weed if we can only discover it. There is not an ailment that God hasn t somewnere an herb growing that will cure that ailment.’ The choice medicinal herbs which will cure woman's ailments were discovered more than forty years ago, and ha Ye been/doing their beneficent work for trail a century. Lydia E. Pinkham combined them in convenient form in her famous Vegetable Compound, which is to be found in the drug stores where every ailing woman may. conveniently get it at small cost.

ETHICS OF TRUE MANHOOD. I Rev. W. 8. Mills, psstor of the Evangelical church, conducted special services lust Sunday morning for the boys of company A who were gues.s. t His sermon was a powerful one. on th<> ethics ot true manhood and Ihe follow- ( Ing excerpts are worth your careful 1 reading: , Text: Be Strong--Quit Yourselves ( Like Men.—l Cor. 16:13. , People do not care much for nd ( vice from persons of no experience. ( when it deals with the important : subjects of life. We value a mans counsel in proportion to the expi ri- ( mental knowledge he posseses of the ( subject in hand. e. g.. the exhorta- ( tion of a young recruit in regard to ( rhe splYit and bearing of a soldier would make hut a slight Impression, but the slightest suggestion from a battle-scarred veteran with empty sleeve or wooden leg would carry weight and force with it. .The very fact that you knew he had tramped on the long, hard march, had to sleep on the damp ground, had waded swamp and river, had partaken of the meager fare of camp life, had smelled powder on the firing line, or perhaps lost a limb in tne carnage of battle, would give his words great weight with any of us. Hence it would lie folly for me to attempt to outline to you the duties and sacrifices required of a soldier, but when it comes to the ethics of real manhood 1. too, am a man and have fought out many of the fierce battles of life, for all of the great decisive batles of the world have not been fought out in view of the world, or are they matters ot history, for I declare to you that some of the most decisive conflicts which have been the most far-reach-ing in influence, have been fought out on the battlefield of a man’s own heart, alone with himself and God. We. therefore, can speak of the experiences of life, and the elements that make up manhood with the consciousness that we- have gained some victories, even though we have suf sered many„ defeats, but out of it all we caa point with assurance to Him the Christ, of God -as our help and inspiration—our Leader and King. The ethics of manhood will be found in our personal relation to Jesus Christ and our allegiance to the principles of truth and righteousness, of which he is both author and exponent. Let us consider first the ne eessity of enduring hardness. I. Endure Hardness. Our natural tendency is to complain of the hardness of our conditions or the acute limitations of our surroundings. We take it bitterly that we are denied what another is given and that his resources seem inexhaustible, while ours are so limited, or that he wins his victories so easy, w'hile ours seem so hard. We often are not allowed to retain the treasurers we so much prize -in our lives or homes, while others, who do not seem to appreciate them are allowed to keep (heirs. . It is this problem of inequality that is often uppermost in our thought and clamoring for a solution which constitutes the real problem of life for each of us. • Illustrate. President Jordan of the Leland Stanford university, speaking at Los Angeles, df possible fhanges to build up gymnasium, etc. Not possible under California skies to develop like the granite hills and climate of New England These difficulties are always with us —for if we could erase them they would all of them come trooping back. We can not wqualize or banish them. The difference between us as individuals is not one'of outward c ircumstances. but of an internal attitude toward our 4k>'ard circumstances. God uses tiKs method to try the faith ot man. that under the test—it may grow and develop the strength needed. The grain and chaff must be separated; this speaks of the flail, threshing machine and the winnowing gusts of life, blowing away the chaff. This is also God’s method of hardening life into character. Character means lines that are cut in so they cannot be rubbed out or effaced. It may not be a misfortune for a boy to be born of poor parents and be compelled to tight every inch of his rise in life, for in so doing he is hardening the moral muscles for mighty tasks which will lie before him. God refines our natures by these things which chafe and burn—like the furnace refines the silver, by i burning up the dross. I 11. The qualities required for a 1 soldier are the same as those requir- i od for true manhood, viz.: i 1. Duty. This is iiecullarfy a mil- j itary term—the most fundamental of ( ail soldierly qualities and is indfsiien- j sable. Illustrate: Charge of Light Brigade ( at Balac lara. 1863. Earl Cardigan .ordered by jealous officer charge ( Russian position with 600 light English cavalry. "Magnificent, but it is not war." 8 Unquestioned obedience to author- I ity is a thing that always commands the respect and admiration of man. wherever found. Illustrate; Hunting party, includ- f

m- the Duke of Wellington; J>oy guarding gate to wheat field ■ Ih ' Duke of Wellington would not expect m« to disobey orders " 2 Discipline— training or drill. This makes the difference between the veteran and the recruit, and it H this that makes tin army. This » the meaning of enlistment of t |ain ing. commands, tactics, dress pa rude, manual of arms,* to develop, discipline and train the individual unt the company or regiment moves as one man. until each unit is welded into a whole. Illustrat: Old Emperoor William of Germany always wore a military coat, buttoned to chin. "It is < h '' on *’ unbuttoned button which plays havoc in the army.” Stonewall Jackson was asked to what degree soldiers should be trained. "Until they cannot make a mistake." he replied. 3. Devotion. All of these qualities need a moral dynamic to make them effective. Au army may have all duties mapped out to perfection, and be drilled to the highest degree of efficiency, but if the moral dynamic of a holy patriotism be lacking. defeat is almost certain. But with the consciousness of a cause that is just, an overwhelming loyalty to the flag, and a consciousness of being in the fight for God and home and native land, men can fight, endure and die. knowing that any service thus rendered will bring its own glorious reward. HI. Now in closing 1 wish to make a plea for the higher manhood, only possible through a definite allegiance to our Lord Jesus Christ, for all these qualities which have been named find their counterpart in a glorious, wholehearted loyalty to the principles of righteousness as set forth in the life and character of the Man of Galilee. The greatest need of the world is men. We have or organization. but the organization is only as strong as the men that control it. Men of lofty ideals, unselfish in purpose, for selfishness is moral paralysis. Great movements await the coming of leaders for the purpose. As Abraham led o movement for a new race, as Moses lead a movement for a new nation, as Washington led a movenjent for a free people, as Lincoln led a movement for a solid and united nation. so movements in the church, in education, social economies, all await Ihe coming of men with lofty ideals, filled with the spirit of the true Christ, 'who shall bring into being the kingdom of God for which we pray. o HUSBAND THANKS Modern Medicine — Wife’s •Cheeks Rosy Again. Anderson, Ind.. June 4—“ Donated Herbs with pepsin (in liquid form) certainly improved my wife’s condition,” said Mark A. Glasco, who resides at 1530 West Fifteenth street, this city. Mr. Glasco monograms automobiles and has many friends in Anderson and vicinity. He continued: “My wife has been in a weak and run-down condition for the last six months. She was pale and her blood was out of order. I heard Ironated Herbs was a strengthening tonic and blood purifier, so I bought a bottle and had her it. It has improved her condition greatly, giving her strength and bringing the color back to her cheeks. Ironated Herbs is all right and I am glad to get to say a good word for it." Ironated Herbs acts almost like magic in stomach trouble, gas. fermentation. heavy, distressed feeling after meals and on retiring. It attacks and destroys all poison in the blood, and owing to the organic iron is a red blood builder, corrects diseased conditions ot the liver and kidneys and restores them to normal conditions.

It is pointed out that if two men with one sprayer can be engaged to do the work for an entire neighborhood. the cost will be reduced for each individual, as when each individual farmer prepares an otfttit for spraying a few trees the cost in labor and equipment is high than necessary. The extension department of Purdue, on request of orchardists is sending out instructions on spraying to all who will ask for it. oEPWORTH LEAGUE STAND. ' The Epworth League of the M.
