UNIVERSAL PEACE TO COME.

Rabbi Theodore F. Joseph addressed the

.Twenty-six hundred years ago the
prophet Isaiah predicted the time when
nations would beat their swords I into

Mankind has not yet learned the pro-

loftier and triumphs nobler than do siege,

Though the war clouds are heavy. the
clear sky of peace must reappear. With
the advancing march of civilization the
truth will conquer. The lofty aspirations
of one age must become the practical
achievements of another. The peace
ideal will yet be enthroned in the heart
of man. The diffusion of knowledge
and the growth of the national religious

Trouble In an Important Part of the

"A Perfectly Harmonious System
Easily Thrown Out of Gear.

Organized labor has reached such a
stage that anything affecting a particular
branch of it draws all the rest into the
difficulty.
1t is exactly the same way with the
different organs of the human body.
Work too hard, eat too much, drink too
much, exercise but little, be a little ir-
regular in any way and the liver quits
work.
Then the bowels become constipated
and the stomach goes on strike The
heart is affected, the brain follows suit,
and every part in the body is dragged in
to the trouble.
The only way out OF 1t is to go at the
source of all this-the liver. Square your
self with the liver and all will get back to
regular natural work.
