What Has Germany Done for These Men? Milwaukee, Wia. Rather more than a dozen years ago there lived in Milwaukee a German citizen who said this country was good for nothing except to make money. He admitted its excellence for that, but declared that some day, when he had gained his competency, he was going back to the old fatherland to spend his days in peace and quiet, to be happy once more with bis village friends, to live his life in r.weet content. Like many another son who has strayed from his native land, he hoped some day to grow old gently in his childhood home and at last to be gathered to his fathers among his boyhood companions. He made his money in Milwaukee and returned to the home for which he had longed through the years. But somehow when he got back, he found miseries he had forgotten during his absence. He was not free there as he had been here. He was a nobody there, held down by the relentless caste system. Taxes were exorbitant. And before he had been back two years, the money he had expended half a life-time saving in America had been spent or lost in trade competition. That German is back in Milwaukee today. He is an American citizen now, and happy in his citizenship. He has no home but America, and there is not a more loyal citizen In the United States. He went back to Germany. He knows where happiness is. A moral do you want? State it for yourself Milwaukee Free Press.

Here's an incident that could be multiplied by the thousands. Germans galor-e came to this country to escape the petty annoyances of Teutonic officialdom, the exactions of military service, or the stress of adverse economic conditions. They found unlimited opportunity here for the' "pursuit of happiness." They accumulated money, some became very wealthy, others attained a compentency so large that it permitted them to enjoy the October days of life in ease. All of them prospered beyond their expectations. And yet they yearned for the fatherland. Their mind's eye saw across the Atlantic the pleasures of the "simple life," contentment, fraternal intercourse with childhood friends and relatives. And so they returned. , But a residence of only a few months shattered the illusion. They found conditions so at .variance with their preconceived notions, their boyhood friends so widely scattered, and police restrictions so irksome that they returned to the United States, declaring "never again," and vowing that there is only one country in the world the United States of North America. I Then they were satisfied to live in American Environment, send their children to American schools, increase their wealth and bask in the .sunshine of American opportunity and prosperity.

t

In the course of time the United States was forced by conditions over which it had no control to declare war against German. ! It may be said parenthically that these men :prior to the declaration of hostilities consistently argued that if the United States ever had to 'make war on Germany they would fight for the .Stars and Stripes and would be glad to demonstrate to the complete satisfaction of this government that they were loyal and patriotic -Americans. Now they are being put to the crucial test. ; What are the results? .4 i Thousands of them have proved true to their ;word. They have given by word and deed abundant proof that their pre-war declarations were not vapid utterances but the convictions of their ;hearts. Others are daily giving the lie to their former ;a.--surances. ' Some of them are openly hostile to the course of our government. They doubt every declaration of the government, denounce and ridicule its military steps, read with avidity and joy every reverse or mistake in our policy, and withal have the brazen impudence and impertinent effrontery to demand an extenuation of their conduct by a false appeal to the principles of free speech and free press. - Others are not outspoken in their sympathies, but at heart wish Germany success. Many of them can hardly await the arrival of ! their German newspapers to read the veiled irony !and contemptuous sarcasm which their Teutonic editors direct against American military enterprise. They eagerly gulp down the deceptive effusions of these poisoned intellects and then proceed to use the same arguments to contaminate jthe minds of Americans whose loyalty is wavering, thus diffusing over a wide area thoughts and opinions that embarrass our government and mislead our people. Many an honest man of German ancestry tojday is entertaining disloyal opinions which have :been craftily imparted by the German newspapers which our tolerant government permits to I circulate through the mails. These men are to be pitied. They have been seduced unconsciously land unwittingly by master minds. i Were it not for the corrupt and foul source from which they receive their intellectual stimu

lus, thousands of these misguided men and women would today be loyal to the core and patriotic without a shadow of doubt. (The suppression of every newspaper printed in the German language would redound to the welfare of the nation and would effectively purge the minds of many deluded German-Americans.) The question arises in many minds : What has Germany done for these men and women that they should wish her success in this war? , They left the Kaiser's realm because they wanted to better their material condition. They succeeded in this country. Everything they own in the way of real estate, money in the savings banks, stocks and bonds was acquired here. They had nothing when they arrived on our shores. Now they are prosperous. Who brought about this wonderful transformation? The Kaiser, perhaps? Certainly not, because they left Germany to escape his government. These men and women owe everything to our nation. Could there be a stronger appeal for their loyalty, looking at it merely from the material standpoint? Again: Thousands of these men came to the United States to escape German military service, or their parents brought them over as children so that they could sidestep this obligation. In our country, they were free from the drill sergeant. They obtained the freedom from military exactions which they sought. They said they were glad to live under these conditions and that they would be glad any time to help destory the military system of the Kaiser. And yet, some of these very same men today are openly espousing the cause of the greatest military tyranny in the world. Their inconsistency goes beyond belief. We fail to understand them and are forced to believe that they were cowards when they left Germany and that the yellow streak, proving moral turpitude and lack of character, unfits them absolutely for citizenship in this country or any country. They ought to emmigrate to the wastes of Africa.

We ask again, what has Germany done foj them that they should be traitors to the land of their adoption and defenders of a system which they sought to escape? What has Germany done for them to evoke this support of autocracy and this opposition to democracy ? Can one of them give a cogant answer? Can one of them adduce a scrap of satisfactory evidence? Who of their number can explain the inconsistency that looms high as a mountain ? Are they adventurers and fortune hunters who longed for the gold and wealth of the United States, and having obtained it, are ready to crucify our nation to please the tyrannical government from which they emmigrated ? Are the intellectual, musical and artistic ideals which they set before us mere blinds behind which they are working the deeds of treason? Is the country to be exploited to fatten their wallets and then to be turned over to the ruler whom they deserted, so that he may exact huge indemnities incurred in a war more destructive than any that has been waged in the history of the world ?

These are questions that are pertinent and will not down in the American consciousness. The inconsistency of the men and women who are disloyal is so appalling in its magnitude, so base in its essence, and so inimical in its scope that the American people view it with amazement. What has Germany done for these thousands that they wish it success ? Have they been promised immunity if the Kaiser's hordes overrun this country? Will they be exempt from the overwhelming tax burden that will be imposed by the Kaiser on America if he conquers ? Common sense tells us that this is highly improbable. Can't these men and women who ran away from Germany to escape unsatisfactory conditions see that they are being deluded by the Kaiser's agents and that they are actually cooperating with him in an undertaking that will reduce them to their former condition, in fact, aggravate it immensely. We hope so.

Prolonging Youth

From Physical Culture Magazine YOUTH is a flesh and blood gem of priceless value. Its value develops with age. The older you are, the more precious it seems to you. You cannot buy youth. But youth may be prolonged into middle age. And in occasional Instances into what is -ordinarily termed "old age." There Is no excuse for growing old at thirty or forty or fifty, and in some cases not even at sixty or seventy. When you grow old before your time, Ignorance or laziness is the cause of the "disease." For premature old age is a disease. It is caused by functional inactivity. We have always maintained that the enthusiasm, the vivacity, the magnetism, the beauty, energy and ambition associated with youth need not disappear, even m middle age. The youthful spirit, with its hope, enthusiasm and ambition, should be retained long after one has passed the supposed age of youth

SWAT THE KAISER. The Akhoond of Swat has gone Into the war The loyal old Akhoond of Swat. The kaiser's the party he's got it in for With all of the swat he has got. He Is for Uncle Sam, Like the kink of Siam. It surely will help quite a lot, With bolos a-whirling And head-hunters hurling Their boomerangs, spears and what not. That's charged by the fighters of Swat, With cuss words of weird polyglot. And homeward the Teuton's will trot. The Akhoond will chase 'em And try to efface 'em And carry his cannibal pot. Of all the fighters I've heard of, Great Scott! There's none that I'd fear like the fighters they've got. They're desperate fully When old Wild-and-Woolly Leads them to the war for the glory of Swat. Hurrah for the Akhoond, The fire-eating Akhoond, -The loyal old Akhoond of Swatt. There is a case in a Kansas court concerning twelve thousand dozen spoiled eggs. - It will require brave jurymen to stay in the courtroom with exhibit A, without gas masks.

One of the anti-suffragists, a man, said in a recent speech: "No woman can climb a tree," No, perhaps not, but she can make any man do it. They have just decided in Tennessee that a man cannot buy more than one gallon of whiskey at a time for medicinal purposes, which will probably mean a slight reduction in the terrible epidemics which have bean sweeping that commonwealth. With only a gallon on hand people Can't be really very sick. They can just be ailing a little.

I was sitting in at a banquet In New York one evening last week and next me sat a public man who is very deaf. On the other side of the deaf gentleman sat a young woman an actress. On the menu was a pastry of which bananas formed the dominant feature. The yound woman, desperate for conversation, turned to the deaf gentleman and said: "Do you like bananas?" "What's that?" he asked, placing his hand to his ear. "I Said: 'Do you like bananas?'" she repeated. "No," he replied, "I don't like them. I much prefer the old-fashioned nightgowns." ONE BOTTLE OF WINE CAUSED THE DEATH OF A DENVER MAN.

"I can," said the bashful young man to the director of the film company, "swim, dive, run an auto, fly an airplane, fence, box shoot, ride a horse, run a motorboat, play golf, fight, make

love, fall off cliffs, rescue heroines, play football, die naturally and kiss a girl." "But," interrupted the famous director, "can you act?" "Alas'" muttered the would-be screen hero, "I never thought of that." "Engaged," growled the director, and another screen hero was born.

The fortune teller was sending cold streams of horror down her victim's back, as she predicted the bad things in store for him in the immediate future. "You will die in a year!" she hissed at last. "That line on your palm tells me so." "Help!" gasped the victim, "it surely can't be as bad as that?" "As I said," continued the seer, "you will die in a year, but In what year I can't exactly make out." Anna was drawing a picture of the visiting gentleman. She worked very earnestly, stopping every few minutes to compare her work with the original. Finally she shook her head sadly. "I don't like it much," she said. '"Tisn't much like you. I guess I'll put a tail on it and call It a dog." The physician to whom the Irishman had applied for relief from a stomach ailment asked on the occasion of his last visit: "Have you been drinking the very hot water an hour before each meal, as I directed? If 60, how do you feel now?" . : "Doc," said the Celt, "I tried hard to do it, but I had to quit. I drank for thirty-five minutes and it made me feel like a baloon!"

! Housewives Now More Than Ever Before Realize

the Importance of Purity in Food Products While on my lecture tours, meeting housewives in all sections of the country I have observed that women are now wide awake to the vital necessity of utmost purity in articles of food. It used to be that unscrupulous, manufacturers were at liberty to foist rankly adulterated food stuffs on the unsuspecting housewife. This production of low grade, frequently worthless and often injurious merchandise gained such strides that the government , stepped in with Pure Food legislation and checked it. This measure of protection aroused housewives to the situation and the importance of purity in articles of table use. And as a result of this awakening wise housewives have set a higher standard of purity than the Food Laws demand. The federal and state authorities have cut off to a great extent the manufacturer of products of an injurious nature. The great majority of housewives have gone even farther and insist on absolute purity. Take Baking Powder for example. There are many different brands of baking powders on the market. All that art on the market are made within the limits of the la.it are as pure aa the law demands. " But there are other things to be taken into consideration will they give the best results are they economical in user The housewife now insists that baking powder be as pure as it can be made. That it possess no impurities no adulterants no useless filters no injurious properties of any sort They want and are entitled to a baking ponder so proportioned and blended it remains pure in the baking. After testing many different brands of baking powders, I am thoroughly convinced, that Calumet Baking Powder extendi far beyond the standards of purity demanded by the food laws. Critical experiments establish the fact that Calumet leaves no harmful residue, 2s do many powders that comply with pure food requirements. The bakings it produces are not only light, fluffy and tasty but wholesome and healthful which really is the final test of a baking powder's purity. The housewife of today wants something better than "just as good." She wants the best, and in my articles on Baking Powder I have no hesitancy in recommending Calumet NOTE Miss CosUllo is already well known to most of the ladies cf our city.
