Eliminating German from Our Schools The action of the city school board in banning German from our grade schools is commendable. In the first place, a foreign language, whether it be French,1 Spanish, Italian or Greek, by rights has no place in the lower grades. This is an English speaking nation, and English is the only language that ought to be taught. If a father believes his children should learn German or Italian, let him engage a tutor and promote the cultural phase of the child's education with his own money. Again, it is not fair to the Italians, Greeks and Hungarians who reside in our city to have German taught and their own languages ignored. A Jew for instance, has just as much right to insist that the classical Hebrew or the modern Yiddish be taught for its cultural value, as a citizen of German descent has for insisting on the teaching of the Kaiser's tongue. . . The teaching of a foreign language in the public schools is always a favoritism to one nationality and unfair to other citizens of alien birth. But the problem has an infinitely more vital aspect than the mere question of whether favoritism is shown. The teaching of German in our grade schools strikes at our national solidarity. We have called' attention repeatedly to the ambition of the Pan-German party to maintain the German language in the United States as a link to keep German immigrants solidly connected with the Imperial German government. No proGerman can deny this effort of the Pan-Germans, for their utterances and declarations are too convincing to admit of denial. The elimination of German in the schools should have taken place years ago. The United States has been very remiss in its efforts to Americanize its immigrants, a mistake that it understands since we entered the great war. No one can deny that the teaching of a foreign tongue in our public schools is a powerful handicap in the work of welding a nation out of the million of aliens that have come to our shores.

No cogent reason exists for the teaching of f German in our grade schools. The Germans who jcame to this country intended to make it their home. They acquired a knowledge of English to enable them to enter our business and industrial life. They saw that the acquisition of English was a necessity if they hoped to make money here. They insisted that their children learn English so that they would not be handicapped later in life. If a knowledge of English helped them improve their material lot, why do they want to cling to their native tongue, which is not the national language of the United States and never will be. Why should their children learn a tongue which in this country has only a cultural value and little vocational advantage ? They may answer that they want their children to be able to understand a German sermon and worship God in that language. The fallacy of that argument is seen in the English congrega

tions which the denominations that ministered to the German immigrants were forced to organize

to keep their children within the folds of their

church. And even in the congregations where German has been zealously fostered, few children can speak a classical German or can even carry on a conversation in idiomatic German. And in some .of the most "German" homes of Richmond, English, not German, is the language in which children address their parents, so that the younger generation virtually nullifies the efforts of the parents to perpetuate their native tongue. German has no place in the grade schools. Let it be an elective course in the advanced classes of the high school. Parents who want their children to learn German either for cultural or vocational purposes will then have an opportunity to let them study the language as a preparatory course for college or for business purposes.

The Township Trustee The township trustees of Wayne county are asked by the State Council of Defense to co-operate in making a survey of seed stocks and farm labor requirements during the week of February 4. The trustee is requested to take the lead in his township in organizing the farmers so that a complete and accurate survey may be returned to the state authorities. Trustees in this county are urged to take this matter up at once, for the specific purpose of the survey is increased crop production in 1918. Eliminating soil and weather factors, and the two most essential elements in the production of greater crops in Indiana are good seed and an

adequate labor supply that will permit the farmer!

to plant his good seed and to take care of the crop as it grows and matures. The patriotic services of the trustees are enlisted in this cause. They are nearer to the farmer in the various political units of the county than any set of men. Quick action is necessary. They dare not postpone action until February 4, but must go to work at once, perfecting their organization so that the survey can be made during the week designated by the State Council. The Council has issued the following appeal to the trustees : "Township meetings are expected to develop the leadership asked by the State Council of Defense and the committee on food production.

Definite reports, gf uaranteeing the survey and a

reliable statement of its results to the government agencies, are wanted promptly. Except that- these surveys and , reports are accurate, it will be impossible to determine the needs of the community. "The trustees are so informed except that they act with a full, appreciation of the importance of the matter in hand, which the State Council says cannot be over-emphasized, serious loss may ensue."

Meat Consumption Reduced

Meatless days have resulted in a 25 percent decrease in consumption, according to the annual

report of Armour & Co. A statement accompanying the report says: "Initiation of meatless days, which we favored,

has proved most beneficial, enabling us to meet

the unusual demands made upon our facilities.

Our sales department estimates the decrease in consumption of meat due to meatless days at 25 percent., which saving was more than consumed in caring for the vast number of men in training

for our army and navy, and for orders received from our allies." The report will be accepted with satisfaction

by patriots who have denied themselves meat to

provide food for our soldiers and for our Allies, but it will also spur us to still greater conservation. The report says that the 25 percent saving was more than consumed by the men in the training camps and by our Allies, leaving the broad inference that still greater denials must be made in the homes. Let us do our part. IF EACH HOME SAVES One ounce of meat daily it means 465,000,000 pounds annually, And one slice of bread, 365,000,000 loaves annually, And one piece of butter 114,000,000 pounds annually, And one cup of milk, 912,000,000 quarts, or the products of 400,000 cows annually.

THE MEN WHO CAME BACK (Copyrighted By British-Canadian Recruiting Mission.)

By SERGT. J. E. HAWES. On the eve of the declaration of war I was as anxious as the next man to get into uniform, but my age was against me, so I bad to wait for the right opportunity to turn up. One day I was walking down Elgin street, Ottawa, my home town, and stepped up to a soldier, and asked him if there was any chance of my getting into the army. He took me with him to the militia headquarters, and while I noticed that every one came to attention, the real import of their respect did not dawn upon me until I returned from the trenches wounded. Then I found that the "soldier" through whose influence I had gotten into the army was no other than Maj. General Sam Hughes. But it wasn't so easy getting to the trenches even then. At LeHarve a medical officer examined the company and after a casual glance, ordered me to "fall out on the left." I never yet have found out why I was ordered to be held back, but when the company left for "up the line" I was with them. After a medical officer and the O. C thought I was unfit for service and only by changing places in the line of troops during inspection did I pass. Another difficulty N was encountered

later when the roll was called and I answered. The O. C. wanted to know

"why", for on the list my name was

marked as left behind. But the Sergt

Major helped me out

After a -month's trench life I "got mine." A big "Jack Johnson" came my way and I emerged with four crushed ribs. And' the worst of it was, after being injured I stood a good chance of being court martlaled. When I. reported sick the next mornings the doctor drew a paper from his pocket which ordered me to report at Le Havre immediately as I was marked as a deserter from that place. Armed with a letter from the doctor and four crushed ribs I returned, unescorted, several hundred miles to the base. Evidently there bad. been some discrepancies between their lists and my jumping places in the lines in my efforts to get to the front. When the authorities at LeHarve saw my condition they ordered me to the hospital, where I spent the next nine months recuperating, and received my discharge. Later I re-enlisted. Not being physically in condition for front line service I was sent to the British Canadian Recruiting Mission, but I'm hoping to see the front line again before this war is finished.

"Lest We Forget"

Irving Bachelor in the Outlook.

HE shouting and the tumult dies

The captains and the kings depart Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,

An humble and a contrite heart. Lord God of hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget lest we forget. Lest we forget the innumerable dead who have nobly

died, and the most of the living who with a just and com

mon sense and love of honor have sent them forth to die

Lest we forget that we and our allies have not been above reproach; that there were signs of decadence among us

in the growing love of ease and idleness, in the tango dance of literature and lust, in the exaltation of pleasure in a very definite degeneration of our moral fiber. Lest we forget that our spirit is being purified in the furnace of war and the shadow of death. Do you remember the protest of those poilus when some unclean plays were sent to the battle front for their entertainment? "We are not pigs" that was the message they sent back. Lest we forget that the spirit of man has been lifted up out of the mud and dust of the battle lines, out of the body tortured with pain and weariness and vermin, out of the close companionship of the dead into high association on the bloody altar of liberty and sacrifice. Lest we forget that the spirit of our own boys shall be thus lifted up, and our duty to put our house in order and make it a fit place for them to live in when they shall have returned to it from battle fields swept, as a soldier has written, by the cleansing winds of God. :

"Who Can Find a Strong Woman?" The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that moves the world. A good woman, her price is far above value. A good Christian woman is the best thing this 6ide of heaven. Chrjst and woman will settle the destruction of our country, morally and religiously. We cannot expect for the men to win this war by fighting, because this is a world war. We women will have to go down in sack cloth and ashes and bare our hearts to God. We must pray as we have never prayed before. What we want now is a number of old-fashioned mothers, wives and sisters who are willing to stand for the true cause of Christ, and stack alms at the feet of Jesus. Then we would not have to close the doors of our churches on account of the fuel. But if we stand firm and true for the cause of Christ, we will have all the fuel we want and to spare. The forgiveness of sins is the supreme need of man. In all history this fact was never more evident than it is at the present time the time of boasted learning and culture and efficiency. This old world is now writhing in suffering un-measurable, and all on account of sin. Jesus Christ hath power to forgive he is the world's only hope. He is sufficient hope that

he is able to aid in keeping our churches open that the sisters can congregate there to fast and pray. Pray often, sisters, and talk of the goodness of the Lord. And strengthen each other. America is going to win this war, but it is Christ and we women that are going to win it, but we are going to have to pray as we never have prayed before. Woman damned the world, but she gave the wcrld a sauor. Women are doing a great work for this country, but the greatest "is yet to come. It will rest with the women what we do in the next year. May we let our voices go up to the throne of grace as one woman's voice and let it be from the heart. Faith and confidence in God is what we want, and God will bless and hear prayers in a way we have never expected. Dare to be like Daniel, Dare to stand alone, Dare to have a purpose firm, Dare to make it known. MRS .0. O. THOMAS.

DINNER STORIEi The judge (to jury who have retired several times without agreeing) I understand that one juryman prevents your coming to a verdict. In my summing up I have clearly stated the law, and any juryman who obstinately sets his individual opinion against the remaining eleven is totally unfitted for his duties. The Solitary Objector Please m'lud, I'm the only man who agrees with you! The suggestion of the food conservers that we eat whale recalls the story of the school boy who was being questioned by the examiner. Said the latter: "Do we eat the flesh of the whale?" "Y-y-yes, sir," faltered the youngster. "And what," pursued his questioner, "do we do with the bones?" "P-please, sir," responded the boy, who knew his table manners, "we 1-leave them on the s-s-sides of our plates." Robert Mantell tells of a barnstorming company in the west in the old days that made a try at Shakespeare. Considerable complaint was heard relative to the efforts of the man who essayed to do the ghost in "Hamlet." One day a dramatic man on a local paper said to the leading man: "That fellow who plays the ghost does not suggest the supernatural." "I should say not," replied the leading man with alacrity, "but he does the natural super."

A man who has cold feet never gets ahead In a business or professional way. There Is a cure for cold feet. Put them in the gas oven for an hour. If this doesn't cure them, there is no hope. Also, stay out of poker games. Eating A person should be very careful about this and avoid all rich foods, such as eighteen-pound larded roasts. Don't eat too many golden pheasants at a sitting, and be particularly careful about eggs. One should not eat more than a dozen eggs at a meal, especially with prices where they are. Sleeping Out-of-door sleeping, while recommended by some authorities, has its limitations. Never sleep in the park or in a lumber yard, as either will lead to arrest, and the air of the police station is not conducive to health in its highest form.

SALTS IS FINE FOR KIDNEYS, QUIT 3MEAT Flush the Kidneys at Once When Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers Meat Forms Uric Acid.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headache, liver trouble nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if tb urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.
