It wns a warm evening, so Uncle
f>:iD went out to a lawn seat under the
spreading branches-of the great tree
thn' suggested the farm's name of Oak
IfilL P.illie and Jimmie had been lay-
ing for him. so Uncle Dan was cap-
tured by the boys on short order.
“Buy. f’ncle Dan.” Billie began. “We
had n red-hot argument at school yes-
terday with Carl N’ewmnn. Carf said
that, German schools were miles ahead
of ouj schools and that no one could
come up to the educated German. Well.
Jimi^ffe got hot under the collar and
handed it hack to him good and plenty.
Jimmie sold if their education taught
them to torpedo Lusitanias. sink hos-
pital ships, murder hundreds of wom-
en end children, make slaves of
tlie Belgians; poison wells, destroy fruit
trees and commit all sorts of crimes
tljen we did not want that kind of
education herq, What do you think
about It, Uncle Dan? I told Jimmie
you spent a jot of time in Europe and
knew all about schools, so give us your
opinion.
“Well." replied Uncle Dan, deliber-
ately. “the German schools are very
thorough; they-furnish exceedingly val-
uable and practical Instruction. The
industrial training given there is prob-
ably the best to he found. The schools
as a whole. howeAr, in my opinion,
appeal to tbo head only, and never to
the heart. .The aim and trend Is to
make the individual blindfy submis-
is;ve to the Prussian plan of world do-
minion: they teach that It Is the des-
4 tiny of Germany to rule the world, and
that to the glory and advance of Ger-
many. fn this plan, all things must give
way ; that the kaiser as head of the
' state, can do no wrong if he carries
’forward the - plan of world control.
Some of the greatest teachers and
preachers even defend and justify her
heartless crushing of Belgians and the
many other atrocious crimes she has
committed in this war. Thank God,
"“our American education reaches both
the head and thp heart. It Is an edu-
cation with a sonl. and we must main
tain the high ideals we have fixed. In.
a word, in Germany, the people are
taught that they exist for the govern-
ment, while here the government ex-
ists to serve the people.”
“Just wait a minute,” interrupted
Pdllie. Say that over again slowly, so
Lean write it down.”
Uncle Dan, smilingly, complied.
Billie exclaimed :.“N’ow, we will hand
''[that-, nut out for Carl to crack.
Carl, you know-,” continued Billie,
“has a very smart father who keeps
Jiira posted on the German arguments.
Carl said our government was only
an experiment anyway; that It would
not last twenty years, and that it
might burst up any old time. Jimmie
asked him if Germany was so mighty
good, why they did not go back there
to live.”
“Our government will go on forever,
won’t it. Uncle Dan?”
“Now,” said UncTe Dan, “you are
raising a big question, and one that
has troubled me for years. Our gov-
ernment is still in the experimental
stage; in fact, it is the greatest ex-
periment ever undertaken, and if pop-
ular government is to be successful, a
few things must be done, otherwise, to
paraphrase the great Lincoln, the gov-
ernment of the people, by the people
and for the people, will perish. ’ It Is
tnv firm conviction.” said Uncle Dan.
in a very impressive manner, “that If
our country Is to go on, as-we hope
and pray.,we must very quickly do
at least three things, and I will name
them In the order of importance as It
appears to me:
"First, adopt compulsory universal
military training of all young men
physically fit before they reach the
age of twenty years.
“Next, require that every foreigner
who conies here to live must, within a
reasonable time, -say a year, declare
his Intention of becoming an American
citizen and take the necessary steps to
do so. thereby, from that moment, as-'
Sinning all the obligations of citizen-
ship of our country, and that means he
must defend our flag upon equal terms
with our native born, and if he Is not
willing to do this, he should be sent
back from whence he came.” .
.“That’s the stuff,” exclaimed Billie.
. “And, finally, enact such legislation
as will make voting compulsory. Pop-
ular government is based upon the
, participation of all and the rule of
Don’t i tjie majority, and democracy cannot

five up to the spirit of the institu-
tion.
“The first step, however, is the pass-
ing of thp Chamberlain bill for univer-
sal military training. If you will get

letters to your congressman and both
senators, urging their support, It will
help enormously.

the merits of Tanlac, nave come for-
ward with unqurlified endorsements
of the “Master Medicine.” Mrs.
Bloomfield graduated in London, Eng-
land, and for several years followed
her profession in New York, Denver
ar.d Dallas. Her statement, coming
ar it does from one of such wide ex-
perience in relieving suffering, will
be of interest to hundreds of thin
section who are seeking relief. In
telling of the benefits she has de-
rived from the use of Tanlac Mys.
Bloomfield said:
“Some, time ago I had a severe
stock that brought on nervous pros-
tration and I suffered from awful
headaches All the time. My stomach
was out of order and most every-
thing I w'ould eat disagreed with
me. I usually have a sunny disposi-
ion and try to be cheerful under all
cncumstances, but I had become so
weak and rundown and my trouble
weighed on me so much I had got-
ten to the point where I felt depress-
ed and despondent and had no desjre
to live or do anything else. '
“A friend of mcc recommended
Tanlac to me and as I was anxious
to find something that would relieve
me, I got a bottle. My improvement
was particularly noticeable vjjher. I
was on my third bott’e, when my ap-
petite picked up and my flesh became
much firmer. Those headaches are
leaving me and I don’t feel so tired
as I used to be all the iSme. My
sleep is refreshing, mv stomach and
nerves are stronger and I feel I owe
•much to Tanlac for what it has done
for me, and will continue to use it for
some time because of the good it is
doing me.”
