Equal Treatment to All-This Is What
We Promised Great Britain in
Building Canal, According
Statement.

MISUNDERSTANDING the United

OF all nations in the keeping OF its treaty
obligations, even to its " hurt" the
trustees of the Carnegie endowment Tor
International peace issued an appeal to
tie American people to bring about as
an act of national honor the repeal OF
the act of congress which exempts Amer
lean coastwise vessels from payment OF
Panama canal tolls.
The appeal is in the form OF a state
ment and was issued over the signature
CT the society's president, Senator Elinu
Root, Joseph II. Choate, former ambas-
sador to England; Luke E. Wright, for
mer secretary of war; Charlemagne
Tower, former ambassador to Germany;
Nicholas Murray Butler, president Of
Columbia University, and other mem
bers of the board of trustees.
The issuance of this statement is the
latest work of the society, which was
founded in 1910 by Andrew Carnegie. He

The brochure sets forth the history of the
various treaties that have been nego-
tiated by this country with Great Brit
ain regarding the building and control
of the Panama canal.
1t is declared, quoting from the Ian
guage of the several treaties between
the two countries, that it was the pur
pose of the American government to
construct and maintain the Panama ca

PREVENTING THE PREveNrABLE.

PREVENTING THE PREVENTABLE.
1t is, OF course. worse than useless
to worry about unpreyentable misfor-
tunes. II is worth while. however, to
di1erentiate between the %preventable
and the unp~reveutable. II is equally
worth while to work for the proven
vention Of the p~reventable. And one
is surprised to find how many OF the
losses and sufferings of mankind
might be prevented II proper time and
thought were given to them. Losses
Y human life through unnecessary dis
eases. destruction OF food products
through preventable causes. sacrifices
OF property through a~voidable fires
they constitute an appalling chapter
on social in~eficiency Only an approx
innate monetary value can be placed
upon human life. The insurance
companies make such estimates, but
they are convincing only when consid-
cred impersonally To say that mil
lions are lost to the people OF Amer
lea through unnecessary dying.
through the ravages OF preventable
diseases, is TO state an economic fact
unfeelingly. 1t is, none the less. a
fact The property loss by fire In
the United States for 1911-the latest
authentic figures obtainable = was
1925, O00, 900. And any expert will say
Smajorlty of those fires might have
been prevented by precautions OF

Should Know. Read
Her Statement.

Bolton. Tex.-Mrs. Ethel Moncriek
Of this place, says: II suffered with .
complaint peculiar to women, and, Al
though l called in the doctors, they
failed to DO me any good.
Then. I began to take Cardui, the
woman's tonic.
From the first dose. I could feel ~
suits, and, in a short time, / was re-
lieved Of all my dreadful suffering.
My friends were surprised to see
the results l obtained from the use Of
Cardui. I Just couldn't help telling
them. It built up my system wonder
fully.
/ do not want to be without Cardui
In my house, al long as ! can obtain
1t. It Is a true relief for womanly
troubles. I can't praise it too highly
: In the past helf century, thousands
of ladies' have written, like Mrs. Mon
Grief, to tell of the benefit received
from the use Of Cardui.
Such testimony, from earnest wom-
en-, surely indicates the merit Of this
woman's remedy.
Cardui contains pure, harmless,
vegetable ingredients, which act in .
gentle way on all the weakened WON
anly organs.
1t cannot do you harm, and Is al
most sure to be the very medicine you
need. It's good for young or old.
Please give Cardui a trial.

ChiIdren's Humor.

The poetry of life is frequently seen
in childhood. We have this illustrated
in the description Of butterflies as
"pansies flying"
"A star is a cinder from Gods great
star" has a wealth Of unconscious
meaning. But perhaps the finest ap-
proach to poetry was made by a tiny
tot who defined dew as "the grass
crying" "Oh, auntie!" said a little
girl, 1--WE just seen a pencil walking"
The nurse who had grown out Of

The w. c. T. U. float was awarded first prize at Mill waukee the great beer city, during the Perry Centennial. No honest man who has his own or his neighbor's welfare at heart will vote for the sal con. When you vote for sal oons you sanction crime in all ifs phases, says, Father Ward of Detroit.
 When the magnificent new railroad station at Kansas City Mo. is completed all that will be needed to make it city complete in itself is an under taking shop and bar. There wont be either, and no bar will be able to get within one thou sand feet of the station.
 | Why do you suppose it was, that at the annual convention of saloon keepers in Cook Go. III. recently, grape juice was drunk and beer barred from the convention hall. It was a hot day with the mercury in tue ninties. Why did they pre- fer grape juice to their owH famous hot weather bever- age? Most any other thinking Ipersons can figure that out.
 The German Emperor has joined the ranks. of teetotalers. After demanding the latest alcohol statistics as to suicides, accidents and crimes which resulted from immoderate drinking, and making a study Iof these statistics, he exper- imented upon himself and found that even small quantities of liquor lessened his energy ,and capacity for work, and very characteristically he cut out alcohol entirely.
 Sscertary of the Navey Dan- iels told the people of Vallejo Cal, who are getting interest ed in having the government build a dry dock at Mar Island, that what they needed was dry town. Tn harmony with his recent statment that "Men who drink are not capable of holding public office," Sec retary Daniels believes that in order to be useful in any kind Of employment that requires skilfnl hands and clean brain, men must abstain from the use of alcohol.
