MEMOK.UiLE MOMENTS
How constantly we live in pasl
experiences is sometimes instant!)
revealed, by catching U19 faint odoi
oi a flower, the sc«nt of crushed
clover in a parsing load of liaj- on
a city street filled with distraction
discords. t>omo exquisiig sxperieuci
oi da>3 io.i^ tjoiiQ is suddenly re
enacted in <^ar brain aud heart.
Tho joy if such a moment is as
indescribable a* it is transitory-, li
there were s»-mu 'way by which W<
could blaz^ the trail into such mo
ineiilt: But this mountain peai
of feeling, this illimitable pLaii
of rhythm aud odor, this rushing
torren; of passion, this sublime in
slant of stilLue^a is not to lxj sur
veyed, any more than it i> to bt
taken perforce. One cornea to il
unawares through a sense whack
seems other than physical.
duch momenta, when they dc
come, bring with them a re&lizatior
of the nearness of life us a wMle.
and unfold something important
in the soul, making the individual
for the timu a super-creature. Whil<
we cannot retain the substance o!
it, yet wa do retain a certain har
mony that is the result of the ex
perience.
remaps is uuu u.. --
such moments that the great spirit
ual dreamers have based their be
lief that we are being slowly trans
muted. from unreality; to reality,
Celrainly tlie Kingdom of the Ever
lasting is uot a walled city to bf
takeu by storm . It is not a hu
manized something to be won. bj
praise, or offers of possessions. II
.u not to Lu found on the map ol
the world.
it is only in these moments in
describable, springing instantly out
of some otherwise commonplace,
that life corresponds to the revela
tions o£ seers and prophets. The
moment bestows its peculiar influ
ence and is gone. But it hag left
something exquisitely tender and
holy not to be forgotten. In the
stresa and s'ruggle of existence,
when all earthly hoj>e ha^ failed,
and while w*« grope blindly in dark
ness and despair, the memory of
such a moment comes back with a
burst of heavenly radiance, and
the tragedies ot mortality disappear
Once more the soul stands erect,
flooded with the light of supreme
joy. It ia like the rebirth of
spring to the earth. It ia as if
the fragrant feloom of the year had
been wafted from some realm ol
truth and beauty to lift ua from
the gloom of ignorance to the
kingdom «f understanding. — Seat

Safety of the Nation
Endangered by Dis
loyal Citizens
By CARL VROQMAN, A:si.;ant Secre*
ury of Agriculture
EVERYWHERE I have found n
growing feeling that there
must soon cemc a reckoning
with these manipulators of iho na
tion's food supply, Fo'jr classes of
men arc vainly trvinj to postpone
that day of reckoning.
First.—The impractical theorists
who on principle are so opposed to
any increase in the authority of the
federal government, however tem
porary, that they would rather risk
th(j safety of the nation than to
sacrifice their theory on the altar of
national efficiency.
Second.—The fanatieal pacifists
who are unwilling to take any steps
that will make this government into
an efficient war machine, even after
war has been thrust upon us by the
greatest and most relentless mili
tary power the world has ever seen.
Third.—Those sordid, unscrupu
lous denizens of tho business jungle
who in this decisive world conflict
between democracy nnd despotism
are intent only upon filling their
own pockets with the price of eco
nomic-treason to the republic ANT)
THE BLOOD MONEY OF HUN
GRY MEN', WOMEN AND CHIL
DREN'.
Fourth.—The enemy within our
gates, disloyal American citizens
who, with treason in their hearts
and a lying pretense of loyalty on
their lips, are seiziug on every
trifling detail of proposed defensive
legislation as a pretext for A BIT
TER OPPOSITION TO EVERY
THING THAT WILL HELP US
TO A QUICK AND DECISIVE
VICTORY.
Come into tie garden, MftUdo,
The lettuce i3 all on the blink,
The peas and the beans and the
radishes, too.
All hoa'fcely are crying for drink.
To make vegetables cheap you start
ed the work, • ,
Come to tho garden; don't shirk,
don't shtrk. !

A UNIQUE RECORD
Very Few Like It In Our Broad
Republic
Grateful testimony for Doan's
Kidney Pills, published everywhere
fii o' Itself convincing of merit.
Confirmed testimony forms still
stronger evidence. Years ago Mrs.
Mason gratefully acknowledged the
benefit derived from Doan's Kidney
Pills. The statement is now coo
Urmed—the proof more convincing.
Ca-es of this kind are plentiful in
tho work ol Doans' Kidney Pills—
'he record is unique.
Mrs. David Mason, 2715 East C
St., Tacoma, Wash-, says: "I had
a dull, heavy ache ini raj" back and
it was lame ajid weak. Severe head
ached and dizzy spells were com
mon. The kidney secretions passed
too often and I always felt tired
and woroou*. Doan's Kidney Pills
rid me of the trouble." (Statement
given September 19, 1913.)
On November 5, 1915 Mrs. Mason
said: "I have used Doan's Kidney
Pills since last recommending; them
and have found them just as effec
tive as in the past."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy —
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Mason hag twice public
ly recommended. Foster-Milbura
