passages of the centurles—and in its
various ramifications it has taken on
the senses of match, equal, love.
“Now I see! Now I know the
secret that makes her the most won-
derful pal that ever was—It is this:
“My pal is capable of a great love

SWITZERLAND MILITANT
The distinction of having the
largest army In proportion to its pop
ulation, belongs to Switzerland,
whose citizens strangely enjoy the
reputation of being the most peace.
Toving of the civilized peoples of the
world, thereby seemingly refuting
the theory that large armaments are
the breeders of wars, observes 0. RB.
Turner in the Kansas City Times, In
this tiny Alpine republic almost
every able-bodied male inhabitant is
a trained and efficient soldier, With
a total population approximately
equivalent to that of the single Amer.
can city of Chicago, Switzerland sup-
ports an army (inclusive of regular
HT
and reserve troops) more than one
and one-half greater than the COm=

forces of the United States,
Live Well and Wisely
A good digestion and a clear cote
science is the recipe for a healthy
old age~John D, Rockefeller,
Loyal Friend.
A great writer has sald that after
the word “mother” the most endear
ing is that of “friend.” A contribu-
tor to our columns, of high position
in the newspaper world, evidently is
of that opinion. Employing the more
affectionate word “pal” sho says:
“My Pal!
“They are the simple, most primi-
tive words in the Anglo-Saxon lexi
con, yet—
“How pregnant they are with mean-
ing. How they play upon the heart-
strings! How they stir up the bot-
tommost depths of tender sentiment
and emotion, engulfing us In up-well-
ing waves till the heart fills, the
throat catches and words fail us.
“Purists will sniff and quizz. Why
‘pal’? Why not ‘friend’? Why not
‘companion’ and the like?
“Exactly so,
“For I have many friends. And I
have a few companions. But I am
favored beyond the wildest dreams of
Croesus, fortunate outside the com-
pass of Midas and Monte Cristo, hap-
pier than the lark that singing wings
its way through stellar ether.
“For I have what is more precious
than all the world's gold—a pal!
“My pal-—unfortunately one ean
have but one pal—is mostly what I
am not,
“As for me, I am a eross sort of
person, terribly fault-finding, tempest-
uously temperamental.
“And my pal Is a contrast to me, a
foil, if you please, eternally good-
natured, forever understanding, smil-
ingly indulgent; so that she becomes
a reproach to me, albeit an unin-
tended reproach, time and again. And
when I fume, and rage, and toss and
stamp—my pal calmly awalts the lull
of the ecyclone—and says with a
laugh—'All right, just as you say!’
“And then my arms fly around and
about her! And I ery ot what a
beast I am! And I promise I will
never offend again! And I do not.
No! Not until the next time!
“But I wanted to tell you about
my pal, not about myself.
*My pal is unselfish.
“She Is like a little flower giving
out sweet fragrance in a shady nook.
“She is llke the music of tinkling
bells, like the music of myth and
legend that melted the rock, soothing
‘and restful as a song at twilight.
“She is like the cool, grateful pil
low, ever ready to receive the hot,
tired head.
“She is always on the verge of a
laugh that is never at my expense;
always anxious to share my cares
and irritations, to smooth away grief
and trouble with her genial cheer: to
help with my burdens when they
press too heavily upon me; to join
me in frolic if such be my mood.
“And perhaps this is the wonderful
part of her—the God-given part of
her—that she is always ready to en-
ter my moods—and to understand-—
and perhaps that is why my pal Is
incomparable,
“I have just looked up the origin of
‘pal.’
“My tattered Webster tells me its
