The Writing Mass
BY Omar W. Russell, Casnovia, Mich.

If we could travel high over the
European territory where the nations
are in deadly conflict and take one
birds eye view of the armies as they
go backward and forward the scene
would appear to us as one writing
mass. Thousands of human souls,
who without any hatred or enmity to-
ward any living man, have been called
to battle and to help bring bloodstains
upon their own life on account of the
rights of kings.
Ten men declared war and through
out the continents thousands lie in
.<scattered graves, many piled score
high, Just gave their lives that their
country could win a just cause.
How many homes are wrecked ?
How many children left without sup
port? How many widows made
through this just cause?
How that one man, mere man,
might say the word that would cause
10000 men to sacrifice their lives and
pass into the great unknown. How
crsat to make cripples of thousands
Is il a noble cause to send men
forth to battle in honor of their faith
erland, just to do justice to their
king?
The king, sitting amid luxury and
giving orders for the movement of his
helpless men, who are suffering and
bleeding that the kings rights may
be fulfilled.
These rights of kings is an injustice
to humanity. The men Of the nations
are brothers and they should have the

A customer entered the small town

"How soon can you cut my hair?"
he asked of the proprietor, who was

innocent fun? OF course, theoretical
ly, she should not do this, for it shows
the boy that she and his father do
not pull together" and alienates him
from the sterner parent. But the
mother feels that this is better than
to have him turned from his fathers
house at midnight to seek shelter she
knows not, and the lad cares not
where.
And if the wife is wrong, and if
the boy aids and abets her in her
deception, whose fault is it primar-
lily? Should not the blame for the
condition of affairs rest upon the
father, who, secure in his faith in his
own virtue, sleeps while the mother
suffers for his mistakes?
Some one must suffer for the errors
of the self-satisfed, as some one
must pay for everything in this
world.

GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
If your Back hurts or Bladder
bothers you, drink lots
of water.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you
keep your bowels clean, by flushing
which removes the body's urinous
normal activity. The function of the
kidneys is to filter the blood. In "a
hours they strain from it 500 grains
of acid and waste, SO we can readily
understand the vital importance of
keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of WATERFOWL can't
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces OF Jad
Salts; take tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast each morn
ing for a few days and your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice combined with lithis,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate clogged kidneys;
also to neutralize the acids in urine
SO 1t no longer is a source of irrita-
ton, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes q delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drink
ing, and no doubt you will wonder
what became of your kidney trouble
and baekache.

mitted if American vessels are to be
deprived of free use of the Panama
Canal as an avenue of travel.
Tt is the long established policy of
the United States that all river, har-
Dor and canal improvements are
made by the United States free of
cost to American shipping, and il
would be an injustice to charge tolls
at the Panama Canal and give free
shipping on the Mississippi, 500 Canal
and other costly waterways.
THE claim is made by Great Brit
ain that the free tolls provision is
direct violation of the existing treaty,
but the members of the Senate who
voted to ratify that treaty held
different view. Senator Lodge, who
was in London while tile negotiations
were going on and afterward was in
charge of the treaty in the Senate'
Senators Clapp and Perkins, former
Senator Bard, the late Senator Davis,
who was chairman of the Senate
committee on foreign relations and
an acknowledged authority on inter-
national law; Theodore Roosevelt,
who was then President, and his sue
cessor, eN-President Taft, all believed
that under that treaty we had the
right to treat our own shipping as we
pleased; otherwise the treaty would
never have been ratified.
Il am calling to my mind picture
OF future Trenton as il can be de-
veloped with the present free tolls
system to American coastwise ship
ping in combination with the COM
pleted intercoastal waterway and the
deeper Delaware River channel to
Trenton. can see ships of 5000
tonnage or more, owned by Trenton
capital. manned by Trenton crews,
QUILTED from Trenton supply houses,
at Trenton wharves loading with car
goes of merchandise manufactured in
Trenton by local artisans. | can see
these ships regularly plying between
Trenton and San Francisco and other
Pacific coast ports. | can see our
present industries greatly enlarged
from this increased opportunity of
distribution in present and new mar
kets.
| can conjure up another mental
picture. This time | can see the
Trenton ships returning to our local
wharves with cargoes of Pacific coast
products. But If the free tolls to
American coastwise shipping Is re-
pealed, the beautiful pictures sudden
ly fade like the azure sky behind the
rain-burdened clouds. Their signif-
cameo Is entirely obliterated for the
tolls alone for a round trip from
Trenton to the Pacific coast would be
