Milo Mieras will soon be prepared to take the Kaiser himself. He is
becoming a veteran, hardened and brave. First, he is well acquainted with
firearms having tried one out on his hand to note its effect. It was a
success. This did not worry Milo very much. Second, last week he tried to
test his strength against a gasoline car and came through in fair shape and
is back to work. Moral: You don't have to go to war to lead a strenuous
life. Milo Mieras and Teddy Roosevelt can get it at home.
