CAUSES OF INTERNATIONAL DISPUTES.
By Baron Takshira

A careful study Of the international
disputes establishes that they arise
almost as much, If not more, from
the internal conditions Of the coun-
try affected rs they do from the con-
iict Of outside interests. 1t is a pc
culiar feature Of such questions that
where they occur there are almost
always signs Of disorder, retrogres-
sion or misgovernment.

In the old times the thirsty soul-or
bOdy-solaced itself with plain water
or with lemonade. The chief variation
upon tfks was iced tea and once in q
while iced coffee. These were the only
beverages open to the driDker of tenn
perance habits. We have improved
upon that sort of thing and have in
PRODUCED soft punches, In which our
old friend, lemonade, while still serv-
ing as foundation, would not recog-
nize itself. Tea, too, is meta morphOS-
ed, although hardly improved, and
other mixtures of which we did not
dream in earlier days are taken as a
matter of course. The house where the
pleasantest welcome and the best and
most refreshing thirst-quenchings are
offered Is likely to be the one to which
the young people will flock, and we
need not fear that our boys and girls
will wander off to undesirable associa-
lions while they know that good things
both spiritual and physical, await them
at home. None Of the drinks given be-
low contains liquor of any sort

Peel and squeeze eight large oranges
and two lemons. Put the juice Of the

apple, and after standing few min
utes longer pour upon block of ice in
a punch bowl. Just before serving

Iced Coffee.
Make your coffee clear and strong,
and add to it plenty Of cream and no

clear coffee in a pitcher and add cream
