College flags are quite simple to make

and much precision in putting the let

NEW LIFE
Found in Change to Right Food.

Found in Change to Right Food.
After one suffers from acid dyspep-
STA, sour stomach, for months and then
finds the remedy is in getting the right
kind of food, it is something to speAk
out about.
A New York lady and her young
son had such an experience and she
wants others to know how to get re-
lief. She writes: -:
For about Is months my little boy
and myself had suffered with sour
stomach. We were unable to retain
much of anything We ate.
after suffering in this way for 50
long l decided to consult a specialist
in stomach diseases. Instead Of pre-
scribing drugs he put us both on Grape
Nuts and We began to improve immedf

1T was the key to a new life. 1

heavy food which we could not digest.

both the morning and evening meals.

Remove the Lumber Tariff.

In well considered article on the
tariff the st. Paul Pioneer Press in
sists that lumber should be placed on
the free list. Declaring that the heavy
duty on lumber is largely responsible
for the destruction of our timber re-
sources, it says:
There has been no more powerful
stimulus to rapid destruction of the
American timber supply than the enor-
nous profits accruing in market. pro-
tected from competition. Not only so,
but the whole force of the national de-
mand for lumber has, under the pol
icy of exclusion, been concentrated on
our forests. With billions and billions
of feet of timber standing untouched
in a contiguous country inhabited by
only some 100000 people, the 49,
100000 people of the United States
have been compelled to draw their
supplies of timber from rapidly
dwindling forest area which all told
was never probably much greater than
that of Canada today. Is it any won
der that havoc has been wrought? Is
it any wonder that the land has been
flayed by the AK of the woodsman?
What right has congress to impose
4 tax upon every home owner, every
tenant, every industry, and to obstruct
la fundamentally important social de-
velopment and all industrial develop
ment for the benefit of a mere hand
full of individuals who have not even
built up in the face of foreign compe-
tition a new industry, as have the
wooden and cotton and many other
manufacturers; who have not even
planted and nurtured crops, as the
growers of wheat, of wool or of hides
have done; but who found their prod
uct ready for harvest, the growth of
centuries, who entered upon and con-
verified to their own enrichment a do
main which the public now realizes
too late ought to have been held in
trust for the whole people. For ac-
cepting the opportunity afforded by
short-sighted laws, so long as they
kept within-the law, the lumbermen of
this and previous generations can be
accused of no legal or moral wrong.
The blame rests primarily on the state
and federal authorities, who not only
have not realized their responsibility,
but who have even encouraged the
policy of destruction. But the time
people realize it. and from one end of
the country to the other are demand
ing that it be stopped, that the ancient
| wrong be righted, and that as the first
step to that end the lumber of the
vast Canadian forest are admitted free
to this market to supplement the nat
ural supply and to preserve it. And
even with free lumber at our gates, the
llumberman the advantage and to en-
able him to make handsome profit
He needs no protection and should
lhave none"

Caste Among Criminals.

The victims of Van Vlissingen the
Chicago forger, are complaining that
his punishment is wholly inadequate to
the crime. Had it been adequate or in
proportion to the penalty for stealing
a-loaf of bread or pair of shoes, Van
Vlissingen would have gone up for
1000 years. AS it is he comes off
easier than the average horse thief.
1t Is remarkable fact that the horse
thief always gets his, hence there are
very few horses stolen. This grows
out of the fact that in the frontier
days the horse thief was promptly
strung up to the nearest tree, and it
was only by making the punishment
considerable that the people were in
duced to forego the diversion of the
necktie party.
Van Vlissingen stole $2,000,OO0
That is very handsome sum and
would have easily made him respect
able as a captain of industry had he
stolen from the masses through some
organized plucl-me system. He stole
However, from individuals through al
unauthorized method, which put al

Hunor ons Philosophy
DID YOU EVER NOTICE
BY DUNCAN n. SMITH


That after you have listened over
and over again in sympathetic mood to
the woes Of o friend you begin to feel
like hypocrite?
That by and by the slow conviction
Is forced upon you that you are a hyp-
ocrite every time you give the sympa-
thetic ear?
That inevitably a point is reached
when you feel most unholy desire to
say to your companion that you don't
know Of anything that he needs half
as much as good beating up?
That the more you feel So the deeper
the wretch goes into the details Of his
misery and the more desperately he
claims your sympathy and your back
ing?
That the deeper grows your own hui
initiation In listening and the more he
takes it as a salve to his wretched-
ness?
That you get a reputation for being
a good CONSIDER and for giving sweet
comfort when all the time you are
boiling over with the determination to
make an end of it and put in some
good lick in the interest of common
sense?

Danger to Democracy.

On the question of Imperialism it is
the Democratic party which stands on
particularly solid ground. The funda-
rcental principle in the American sys-
tenn lies in the declaration that gov
eminent has no right to exist save by
the free consent of the governed. That
principle is violated when American
rule is forced upon the Philippines
against the will of the people of the
islands. Moreover, it is but step
from justifying the exercise of arbi-
trary power over dependency to a
justification of the same system at
home. A nation continue which is
half slave and nalf free.
The principle of democracy is en-
dangered in the place of it's birth when
the men who administer the machin
cry created by it are permitted to en-
force arbitrary rule over conquered
territory.
