Cleanliness the Best Prevention.
Hookworm eggs pollute the soil
simply because the human excrement
from infected persons is not properly
disposed of. Many schools in the
south, and large numbers of private
lhabitations have no privies at all.
Hookworm spreads from such centers
A water-tight privy is a simple In
surance against the pollution OF the
soil.
Going barefoot is a dangerous habit
In places where hookworm disease pre-
walls. So is eating of raw vegetables
or fruits which may be contaminated
by the soil. But If each family, school
church or other public place of gath
ering is provided with sanitary means
for the disposal of the intestinal ex-
crement, there will be no chance for
the disease to spread.
Hookworm disease is very readily
durable by any competent physician.

paying every government expense, In
GLIDING the enormous Panama canal
expenditures, which have always been
an extraordinary expense payable from
the general fund OF the treasury. Sec
rotary McAdoo was able to announce
that the net balance in the general
fund onJune 80 was s145.S35, 500 10. a
reduction OF about a million dollars
from the net balance of a year ago.
But even this million-dollar reduc-
ton, due as 1t was to expenditures for
the construction OF the Panama canal,
would have been met, and a surplus OF
81, 500, 900 added to the general fund,
except for an extraordinary incident.
The income tax law provided that
individuals and corporations should
have ten days grace after the close
of the fiscal year In which to pay their
income and corporation taxes before
penalties would be imposed. This re-
suited In about s3,500,000 OF taxes
rightfully included in the 1913-1914
balance being held out from the gov
eminent after the close of the fiscal
year. All of this money was paid In
later, and it will about balance against
taxes similarly held out next year.
But including this amount, those
who framed the tariff bill estimated
almost to the penny what the new rev.
enue laws would bring to the govern
ment. Secretary McAdoo, after strik-
ing the treasury balance sent tele-
grams of congratulation to President
Wilson, Chairman Underwood, of the
ways and means committee, and Chair
man Simmons, OF the senate finance
committee.
The Underwood tariff law is sue
cess as a revenue getter. It's opera
ton has completely refuted the predic-
lions of the republican calamity howl
ers that the reduced duties would Gre
ate a treasury deficit and necessitate
a government bond issue. The people
are being given relief from the cost
Of living, and the difference in taxes
is made up to the government in taxes
placed upon the incomes of the rich
and well-to-do.

I ASIlCdsO
| Diplomats have expounded and ex.
perts have explained. Maps have been
printed, history repeated, and the or
binary American still fails to compre.
bend what this worldwide war is all
about.
The reason is that the American
cannot think in terms of European
| thought.
! To Americans the foundation of all
government rests in the people. The
/ purpose OF administration, however
far it may stray. is to carry out the
! will of the majority. certainly the
/ will of the vast majority.
ANY man who should seek to set
up monarchy in the United States
would be a criminal, guilty of trea-
son.
In monarchial Europe any man who
would seek to set up republic would
be criminal. guilty of treason.
There government lies not in the
people, but in the throne.
The three emperors claim the right
to govern as the direct agents of God
Almighty. If they govern benignly it is
because OF their consciences or be-
cause Of policy.
Popular voice has been recognized in
the little things of government, but
the awful power OF making war vests
in the emperor alonei
Certain 1t is that war would not
come from the votes OF the people Of
Europe, or from free congresses.
If war results it will be war of dy-
nasties brought about for dynastic pur-
poses.
The Austrian empire is not nation.
II is a government
II is composed of many peoples held
together partly by coincidence. and
largely by the existence as a matter
OF fact. OF the Hapsburg dynasty, that
tremendous machine" which profits
by the empires existence and which
it holds together by the iron hand
Of martial law, as It has done for
centuries.
There is nothing threatening to the
people inhabiting the dual kingdom in
the Pan-German-Pan-Slav movement
If the German sections and the Slav
sections do not work well together in
double harness they would both be
better apart.
Not so the Austrian monarchy.
For their own defense, not for the
defense of any nation. are the Haps-
burgs precipitating war.
The interest OF the house OF Haps-
burg appear hostile TO the house OF
Romanoff, so the car prepares to
throw his peace loving and obedient
subjects into war.
Hundreds OF thousands will die that
one or two may be exalted.
In this situation theeGerman kaiser
thinks II necessary for him TO lead HIS
Iegions into the field, whereupon
France, England, and Italy. one actual
and two practical republics. are thrown
into the vortex.
India may rise, China and japan
may seek the opportunity TO expel the
white man from their territories, even
TO follow him TO his own.
Civilization faces very distinction
for the sake OF the house OF Hapsburg
and the interests of the house of Ro-
manor,
II war come, which God forbid, the
damage and misery will be immeasur-
able.
II ii does come, let us hope that II
will bring about the downfall OF the
barbarous conditions whereby one man
or one family can slaughter a nation
of men for personal interest or ag-
grandizement.

Knowledge and Straight Tongue
Are Fundamentals.
They Insure Success, Says Fa-
Their KuhIman to Merchants.

knowledge and truthfulness are the
fundamental principles that make for
success in business life, according to
Father Adolph J. kaufman, S. j., who
spoke today at the Commercial club
before representative business men on
"The Relationship Of the Church to
the Business Man."
Father kaufman said in part:
There should be g. union between the
things of business and the things of
Sunday-the things OF religion.
"At st. Marys we have business
men come and spend three days. They
forget business affairs. and in half a
day they feel glad of 1t. The main
purpose Of the plan is to make the
business men study everyday life in
its deepest principles. We desire to
weld religion into everyday life.
"A business man because he Is a.
human being is something more than
a business man. If a business man Is
true to fundamental instincts he has
honesty in him.
II feel that the man who doesn't
believe in a Supreme Being is a rare
Individual. We want to get the bust
ness man in his daily work in closer
touch with that Being. knowledge
and truthfulness are the things We
. want everywhere.
"People think religion is only a
matter of opinion. What we want in
this country is the passing of opinion
in religion. We want dogmatic knowl-
edge-first of all it is fact The
, church must be based on basic fact"
At the college in St. Marys, with
which Father kaufman is connected.

mer. Here business men go to find
rest for body and soul. Men-Cath-
olics and Protestants likewise-listen
to talks on the application of religion
to everyday life and are given oppor-
tunity for self analysis.
Father Kuhlman gave an address
this afternoon before two hundred
members of a branch OF the Spalding
Literary circle. In the course Of his
address he said: Love Of ones. labor
| is really love Of ones God. because
God is the creator of each individual
and the whole world. All the good
things Of life are gifts from God. Each
human being is the creature Of the
same God, having the same origin. and
for this reason we should see that 9TH

selves. This is the fundamental rea-

FULL POWER TO ACT.
Mexican Peace Delegates Given I'm
limited Authority.

Washington, May 5.-Announce-
ment of the scope of the authority Of
the Mexican peace delegates was
made in statement by Senior Rodrl-
guez, spokesman for the party, Who
today declared:
I'VE have full power to act; we
carry no formula and we shall decide
according to our cOnsciences, always
bearing in mind the national honor
That applied. however, to issues
between the Huerta government and
the United States. The Mexican del
egates, Senior Rodriguez said, would
deal only with external issues of the
situation because of the attitude Of
Carranza that an attempt to compose
internal affairs in Mexico would be
beyond the bounds Of diplomatic &C
ttvtty.
The fate Of the federals who fled
from Tampico was in doubt today. In
some quarters belief was expressed
that they would be cut to pieces by
intercepting constitutionadists long be-
fore they could hope to reach their own
lines south of San Luis Potosi. Fears
that they might attempt reprisals by
setting fire to the large tanks of Oil
inland from the port were not realized.
Evidently they were moving hurriedly
in the hope of reaching a haven from
pursuit.
