Gettysburg Speech Called
Marvel of Poetic
Splendor
Lincoln's undying Gettysburg ad
dress has been put into the new
poetic style by l)r. Marion Mills Mil
ler, who finds that "the speech is ai
perfect a poem as ever was written
and even in the minor qualities o
artistic language — rhythm &n<
cadence, phonetic euphony, rhetori
cal symbolism and that subtl<
reminiscenc of a great literary anc
spiritual inheritance, the Bible
which stands to us as Homer did t
tbe ancients — it excels the finesi
gem to be found in poetic cabinets
from the Greek anthology down
ward," l>r. Miller's interesting "po
'etic" presentation of the addres)
follows:
Fourscore and seven, years ago
Our fathers brought forth on tf»i»
continent
A new nation,
Conceived in liberty.
And dedicated to the proposition
That all men are created equal.
Nov we are engaged in a great civi
war.
Testing whether that cation,
Testing whether that nation ,
Or any nation so ooncteved and si
dedicated,
Can long endure.
We are met on a great battlefield c
that war.
We haye come to dedicate a portioo
of that field
As a final resting-place
For those who here gave their lives
That that nation might live.
January 2, 1918
My lent- Gov. Capjpor:
You may recall writing to me se1
era.1 days ago concerning "persisten
reports" as to the immoderate sal
cf liquor among our forces ii
France. My impression was tha
these rumors were not well founder
in fact; but I felt it my duty ti
convey their content to Gen. Persh
ing. and to ask him to communi
eate with me as to the facts. Yoi
will be glad to know that I hAyi
just received the following word
from the commander of the Ameri
can Expeditionary Forces:
"There has never been a simila;
body cf men to lead as clean live*
as our American soldiers in Franc
I They have entered this war witl
th» highest devotion to duty an<
with no other idea than to perforn
these duties in most efficient man
ner possible. They fully realiizi
thp:~ obligation to t»■ _ir own people
their friends .and the country. 'I
ri§i' program of instruction ii
carried out daily with traditiona
American enthusiasm. Engaged it
hellthy interesting exercises in th(
open air with simple diets, officers
tnd men, like trained athletes, ar
ready for their task. Forbidder
the use of strong drink and protect
el by stringent regulations against
sexual evils, and supported by theii
own moral courage, their good be>
havior is the subject of most favor
able comments, especially by oui
aiHes. American mothers may resl
assured that their sons are a credit
to them and to the Nation, and thej
may well look forward to the proud
day when on te battlefield these
splendid men will shed a new luster
on American manhood.
Cordially yours,
NEWTON* D. BAKER.
Secretary of War.

Governor. Topeka, Kans.

Verily, time haitetti not, and, as
for the snows of yesteryear, they
are completely forgotten ia the

have predicted , three months ago.
that a church wouldi occupy the
Peerless saloon location?
But so it is. Beginning Saturda)'
night at 7:45, the old Peerless bar
. room, which once echoed to quite
^ different sounds, will ring with
5 soe .s of praise and words of pray

t sion, superintended by Charles C.
L Personeus, will hold its firat meet

INSURANCE OX KUEGMC BASIS
The following is taken from. aa
arkle by Dr. Fritz Lenz in the
Mutchner Medizinische Wochen
schrift (Aug. 21.):
"During- the last few months tlie
idea. of family insurance on a, eu
genif basis for the Bavarian civil
service has :aken tangible shape.
The plan originated with, the Bavar
ian ministry for communications,
and was at 'irst confined to the
officials of this department, 1. e.,
the postal, tejegraph, and railway
servants. The scheme, however,
seems then to have met with well
minted approbation from the oth
er Government departments, so
I hat now the foundation of an in
surance istitution for the whole of
th<> Bavarian civil Bervice is ai.
ready counted upon."
The pivot of the scheme is the
oblgalory 'insurance of additional
bonuses for the children of ail Gov
ernment officials (Ktnderzulagen
versicherung). Families with
at least three living children are to
receive a. bonus for each child out
of the insurance which is for the
mos: part provided for out of
Sta-e funds.

Because It's for One ThUiff Only,
And People Appreciate Tills.
Nothing- can be good for every
t'aing.
Doln.n one thing well brlngB suc
cess.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for one
thiftg only.
Fop weak or disordered kidneys.
Here is reliable evidence of their
worth.
Wm, A. Quayle .prop., electric
motor repair shop, 991 Harrison St.,
S^n Francisco, Calif., says: "I was
troubled with my kidneys for about
two months. Tie kidney secretions
were profuse and highly colored
and I had to get up fouT or five
times at night to pass them. I
worked in a lead mine a number of
yars ago and I think that was the
cause of my trouble. I became wor
ried and went to a drug stare and
asked for the best kidney medicine.
Doan's Kidney Pills promptly re
moved the trouble with my kidneys
and I have had no sign of it since."
OVER A YE^l LATER Mr.
Quayle said: '^Never in my life
have I enjoyed such, good lvealth as
I am now haying. I give Doans'
Kidney Pills all the credit for they
rid mc of kidney trouble."

simply ask for a kidney remedy—
