Worry is big load to carry and an

But the whole trouble may be easily
thrown off and life's road be made
easy and comfortable by proper eating
and the cultivation Of good cheer.

BRIT0N AND TEUTON

The composite character of the
population of our great republic is

force just now when the war in
Europe has brought all the leading
nations over there into its bloody
tolls. Most of us are of British or
Teutonic or French ancestry and we
must be careful how we "shoot off
our mouths in a mixed company
about the war lest we offend the
racial prejudices of some one pres

noisy and disagreeable as incense

ties thereto of precisely the same
opinion they were at the start.
For our part, we preserve a stern,
nnbending neutrality, as the presi-
dent of the United States has re-
quested us to do, and If we print
more war news from London and
Paris than We do from Berlin it is
because the wires are out of order
between here and the latter city.
The decision of the issue has been
left to the God of battles by all par
ties concerned, when that decision
is rendered we shall calmly accept
it as final, thankful to be released

leisure to marshal his cohorts and
set his battle in array and aid to
the extent of his power in dividing
the strength of South FLORIDA and in
