L.VBOR DAY
Monday is Labor Day, a legal
holiday observe by nearly all the
states a:id territories of the U.nited
States.
la 1SS2 the Knights of Labor
held a general assembly in New
York City on September 1st and oa
the oth the assembly reviewed a
treat parade of the Central Labor
I'uioti of that city. The next labor
intrude was lield the 1st Monday in
September 1S84, and on resolution
of George R. Lloyd, one of the
Knights of Labor, it was decided
that all future labor parades be
held oa that day, and that it be
.known as Labor Day.
March 13, 1SS7 Colorado de
clared the first Monday in Septem
ber to be a legal holiday. New
Jersey, New York, and Masschusetts
quickly followed. At present
nearly ever}- state has set the day
aside as a legal holiday, it being
the day rather than the date.
WOKK
Wcrrk!
Thank God for the -swing of it,
For the clamoring, hammering ring
of it.
Passion of labor daily hurled
On the mighty; anvils of the world.
Oh, what is so fierce as the flame
Of it, ' 'k ■ I ..
And what is so huge a^ the aim of
it?
Thundering on through dearth and
doubt.
Calling ths plan of the Maker out.
Work, the Titan; Work, the friend,
Shaking the garth to a glorious end,
Draining the swamps and blasting
the hlils, , ,
Doing whatever tae Spirit} wills—
Rending a continent apart,
To answer the dream of the Master
heart.
Thank Cod for a world where none
may shirk—
Thank Cod for the splendor of
work!

will have a considerable amount of
time 1-eft free for your own use. Un
der some conditions permission, may
be given at time to leave the can
tonment for short periods. However
this is a matter to be regulated iu
each camp.
if you do go away from the camp
tfu leave, you will continue to wear
your uniform and will keep Jui
mind always that you remain a sol
dier. subject to certain require
ments that are not so definitely im
posed on civilians. In meeting of
ficers, whether in the camp or out
side, you are expected always to
treat them with proper courtesy and
respect. You should remember also,
even though you are not directly
under supervision, to keep up your
soldierly neatness and bearing.
One of the centers of army life
in camp is the post exchange, at
which articles for pelGonal use,
knickknacks, soft drinks, and bo on,
a-re sold. You will be safe in de
pending on the good quality and
fair price of everything offered la
the post rxchAnge.

ci&tion is building a hut for the
men. in each brigade. In these huts
moving picture or vaudeville shows
will be given every night. Writing
materials can be had for the ask
ing. A piano will be at hand. The
The Knights of Columbus will have
>ne large building in each camp, in
which there will b§ facilities of
the same kind.
In every cantonment there will
be a complete library building where
you will be able to obtain books
and magazines of all kinds. Thifc
is arranged with the help of the
American Library Associaion.
In each cantonment the Commis
sion on Training Cam^ Activities
is erecting a large auditorium* Th:'!

and partly for athletic instruction,
j Some of the best theatrical compaj
lies in the country yill put on
[ Broadway productions for your
[benefit. Theae performances will
be free. A place jvill be provided
for everyone.
Those men who like singing will
[have plenty of chances to enjoy
"sing songs" on a big scale. The
commission has secured the servic
es of well-known chorus leaders
to take charge of camp singing.
A great deal of attention has
been civ en to athletics. An expert
will give boxing lessons to large
croups of men. This instructtion
is voluntary but it will be well
| worth you-r while to attend.
In some of the camps where bath
ing beaches are not far away in
struction will be given in swim
ming.
Team athletics, such as baseball,
basketball, and football, will be de
veloped under the guidance of ex
pert coachefc. One of the members
of the commission will be in general
charge of the line of activity in
all the camps.

This Is Necessary
A cold, a strain, a sudden 'wrench,
A little cause may hurt the kid

Or some irregularity of the urine.
Spells of backache often follow,

Ia Doan's Kidney Pills.
Thousands of people rely upon
it.
Here is one case:
Charles Peter Schellberg, jewel
er, 817 F. Street, San Diego, Cal.,
says: "Doan's Kidney Pills have
done what is right by me and I
don't hesitate to recommend them.
For years I suffered from kidney
complaint and everything I did to
get relief failed. My bladder was
so weajfe I could hardly control the
kidney secretions. Nights I was
obliged to get up on that ac
count and the unnatural appearance
of the secretions made me feel
sure my kidneys needed attention.
Doan's Kidney Pills helped me
from the start and before long put
an end to the trouble."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Schellberg had. Foster

In the dark i:g03 the robber barons

geons and battleaxes. riding rounh
sliod over the lands of their friends,
raiding aud robbing their neighbors,
holding captives tor ransom, stealing
food, money and virgins, making the
outraged lands pay the expenses uf the
raids that ruined them.
England. France, Uussla, Italy. Can

these as they entered this present war
planned great systems of war tax
finance, but Germany did not. You
hear now and then that the Gcraujn
war finance plan was different It
was. The Geniiuu plan was the plan
of the brutes of the dark ages. Tho
German cbaucellor has explained it.
The cost of the war would be met by
Indemnities exacted from enemies.
Tut it in.plain words thus: For years
Germany sat hugging her bludgeon,
hoarding her money, talking and toast
ing "The day!" The day of what?
The day when, like' the brutes of the
middle ages, she would pounce on her
neighbors, rob them of lifnd aud
wealth, leave them wrecked, bleeding
and ruiued. "The day" meant the day
of the raid, the day whet) the same old
robber lust would have its same oia
glut of slaughter anil rapine. Ger
many needed no war (ax systems. Her
victims would pay for the war.
Well. but— Like a brute she strode
across her friendly neighbor, Helgium.
When the day en me she put her foot
on Belgium's face and leaped at the

But the foot slipped. Use plan went
