Insanity Caused War.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has ex-
pressed the views of many in the
following few paragraphs.
The real cause of the war was
universal national insanity affecting
the whole German race, but derived
originally from the Prussian cast
which inoculated others with its meg
atomania. This insanity was based
on a universal suppOsition that the
Germans were Lords and chosen
people, and that in the words of
Buy, they were "the most cultured
people, the best settlers and the best
warriors"
The best of verything-having got
that idea thoroughly infused into
their very blood-the next step was
clear. If they were infinitely the
best people living and such tribes as
"the barbarous Russians" the tickle
French" and the "beastly Servians
and Belgians," (to quote one of their
recent papers) then why should they
not have all the best things in the
world?
They need not do it all at once.
But two great national efforts would
give them the whole of Mnredeemed
Germany, both shores of the Rhine
down to the sea, the German can
tons of Switzerland, and in conjunc-
ton with Austria, the long road
which leads to Salonica.
All local causeN and smaller de-
tails sink into nothing when COM
pared with this huge national ambi-
tion-the real driving force back of
this formidable project. And it was
a very formidable project, and if such
things could be settled by mere fig
ures and time tables, without any
reference to the spirit and the soul
of the nations, it might well have
succeeded.

IF BACK HURTS

No man or woman who eats meat

bladder disorders come from slug
gish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts
or if the urine ic cloudy, offensive,
full of sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by a sensation of scald-
ing, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any reliable pharmacy and
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast for few
days and your Kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice. combined with lithia and has
been used for generations to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them

vescent lithia-water drink which all

RINGER Wins Prize.

C. e. Ringer has returned from
Oklahoma City, where he went to
attend convention of the state
ReXall stores. Mr.. Ringer won a
ten-dollar prize for the best talk on
modern merchandising.
The management of the ReXall
company in the state says that the
Oklahoma meeting was the best one
of any of the state meetings so far
held this season and congratulated
the ReXall stores throughout the
state for their activity
The convention unanimously adopt
ed a resolution against the sale of
habit-forming drugs, and the ques-
ton was freely discussed in all its
phases by the visiting druggists.
Following is the resolution, as
read and adopted
Whereas, Public sentiment is rap
idly growing in opposition to the
sale of habit forming drugs, and
Whereas, The high ethical char
acter of the ReXall stores makes
it incumbent upon the stockholders
of the United Drug company to take
at all times an advanced position
in the interest of public health and
morality;
Now Therefore, Be 1t Resolved,
that we, the Oklahoma stockholders
of the United Drug company in con-
vention assembled, being unalterably
opposed to the sale of any and all
drugs. the use of which may result
in injury to health. the weakening of
will power and the loss of that
sense of individual responsibility
which is the safeguard of society,
do hereby announce our purpose TO
maintain that integrity on which the
Rexall success is founded by refusing
to sell in any of our ReXall stores
any habit forming or otherwise dele
tcrious drugs save on the bona-fide
prescription of reputable physicians
