ONLY JUSTICE CAN BRING
ABOUT UNIVERSAL PEACE.
Why World Problems Cannot BE
Solved by Money Alone.

In discussing the many plans and
theories which have been projected for
averting war and establishing univer-
sal peace John e. Bruce C"Grit'D Of
Yonkers, N. Y, presents the following
view Of the stupendous task:
1.-THE real panacea for war Is univer-
sal justice. Establish justice and
righteousness among the nations and
there will be no need for standing
armies and formidable navies. 1t, Is
not In the province Of any nation to
establish universal peace while so
many great economic, social, racial
and industrial problems wait upon JUS
tice for solution.
Those who now are crying Peace,
peacer very well know that there is
no peace and can be none until justice
dominates the hearts and minds Of the
nations Of the earth. Human nature
will have to undergo a remarkable
change in order for universal peace to
become living, tangible fact. God
only can bring about universal peace,
and there does not yet appear to be
any evidence that he is about to do SO.
The preparations for war now going
on both in this country and In Europe
are not significant Of universal peace.
The nations are adding to the quotas
Of their standing armies and vying
with each other in the building Of
Dreadnoughts.
This is not the way of peace. 1t Is
not an augury Of the approach Of the
millennium which a peace fund could
be used in helping to hasten on. There
shall be wars and rumors Of war and
that not one jot or little Of his word
shall fail The points are well taken.
The world will not be ready for uni
versal peace until every nation is pre-
pared for it through the application Of
the principles Of righteousness which
exalteth a nation. Then universal JUS
tice will prevail in all the earth and
men to men shall brothers be for a.
that and a that. The American dollar
Is q potent force in the world today,
but 10 not negotiable currency and will
not avail in the solution Of world prob
lens which can only be solved by the
Almighty and which he Is going to
solve in his own way"

"Why, the coffee popping on the trees. You see, the sun was so hot the grains just roasted before they were picked" The old traveller yawned. Rather warm down there, bub." he rejoined, laconically, but when I was down there you couldn't sleep at night. Every once in while there would sound the most extraordinary crack ling noise that ever fell upon the hu- man ear" What were the sounds, MT. Bings?" And MT.

DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled with eczema when but a few weeks old. His little face was covered with sores even to back of his ears. The poor little fellow suffered very much. The sores began as pimples, his lit- tie face was disfigured very much. We hardly knew what he looked like. Ths face looked like raw meat We tied little bags of cloth over his hands tc prevent him from scratching. He was very restless at night, his little face itched
 We consulted two doctors at Chi cago, where we resided at that time. After trying all the medicine of the two doctors without any result, we read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at once bought the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Following the directions carefully and promptly we saw the re- suit. and after four weeks the dear child's face was as fine and clean as any little baby's face. Every one who saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura Remedies was surprised. He has a head of hair which Is pride for any boy of his age, three years. We can only recommend the Cuticura Reme- dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H. Albrecht, Box 8S3, West Point, Neb, Oct. 26, 1910.
