THE WEEK IN SOCIETY
WHEN THE FLAG GOES BY
(.Thus speaks Private Thompkins,
veteAn of foreign service.)
Love of *he flag? Well, what do
you know of It?— I
What do the men of your kind
ever show of It,
But stand on yonir legs when the
colors go by
Ai.d yelp with the others and
never know why?
What do you know, who dodge all
the wars ,
Ard dou't know the colors ex
cept at bazaars?
Love of the flag? Well, what do
jou know of It?—
Men of your kind who ne'er saw
the Slow of it
Against the black sky at the end ot
the day
When crimson and daylight were
ebbing away?
What do you know, who never sur
mise I
11 ow easy a soldier can smile
when, he dies?
Love of the flag? Weil, what can
you tell of it?—
Never saw a battle, and don't
know the smell of it!
Ar.d yet you will boast of you<r
love for theflag,
And don't know the cost of the
slurry old rag!—
Don't know the coet in death and
in woe,
And don't stop to think of the
debt that you owe! . >
Live of the flag? Well, if you
would know of it,
Out on the skirmish line men
make a show of It;
I''s not the bright, colors you see
at bazaars,
But tattered and frazzled by
heathenish ware!
Hark while the sergeant Is checking
the "Lost"—
That's love o£ the flag and the
price that it cogt!
John D.Wells.

When James Watt saw the steam
causing the keltic lid to Jump up and

that steam that it can lift such a
weight."
There was.
Millions prior to him had seen tha
game phenomenon and regarded It as
an unexplained mystery.
Recent scientific research has put Ita
finger on the "cause" of Dandruff, Fall

has uner.rthed a tiny germ .which eats
the Ufa from the roots of human hair.
Newbro's Herplclde destroys this
germ and consequently restores tha
hair to its natural state.
