WHERE WILSON STANDS,

Representative Gardner OF Massa-
ohusetts, Charles M. Sohwab of the
United States Steel Trust and the
jingo press of the Nation who are
olamoring to militarize this country
have been brought up standing by
President Wilson. Gardner's true
motive is unknown, but his resolution
for an Investigation Of the Nations
preparedness for military "defense"
will he referred to the Congressional
Committee on Military affairs. where
it properly belongs. Sohwab's little
scheme for manufacturing submarines
for belligerent nations at his Bethle-
hem shops and his San Francisco Iron
works, has been nipped in the bud,
for the administration proposes that
the Nation shall remain strictly neu-
tral. The jingo press was effectively
answered by the President. when in
his message to Congress, Tuesday Of
this week he said:
"From the first we have had clear
and settled policy with regard to mil
itary establishments, We never have
had, and while we retain our present
principles and ideals we never shall
have standing Amy. IL asked are
you ready to defend yourselvesP we
reply most assuredly, to the utmost,
and yet we shall not turn America in
to military camp. We will not ask
our young men to spend the best years
of their lives making soldiers of them
selves. There is another sort of en-
ergy in us. 1t will know how to de-
clare itself and make itself effective
should occasion arise. And especially
when half the world is on fire, we
shall be careful to make our moral
insurance against the spread Of the
conflaRration very definite and certain
aud adequate, indeed.
Let us remind ourselves therefore,
OF the only thing we can do or will do.
We must depend In every time Of ma
tional peril, in the future as in the
past, not upon standing army, nor
yet upon a reserve army, but upon a
oitizenry trained and accustomed to
arms. It will te right enough, right
American policy, Eased on our aoous-
toned principles and practices, TO pro-
vide a system by which every citizen
who will volunteer for training may
be made familiar with the use of mod
ern arms, and the rudiments Of drill
and maneuver. and the maintenance
and sanitation Of camps. We should
encourage such training and make 1t a
means Of discipline which our young
men will know how to value.
"A powerful navy we have always
regarded as our proper and natural
means Of defense and 1t has always
been of defense that we have thought.
never Of aggression or of conquest.
"Who shall tell US what sort Of a
navy to build? We shall take leave
to be strong upon the seas in the fu
ture as In the past and there will be
no thought of ottense or Of provocation
In that. Our ships are our natural
hulwarks. When will the experts tell
US just what kind we should construct
land when shall they te right for
ten years altogether IT the efficiency
of craft Of different kinds and uses
continues to change as we have seen it
change under our very eyes In these

Good Bowels Are
 An Aid to Growth
Growing Children Need a Mild
 Laxative to Foster Regular Bowel Movement.


 As a child grows older it requires more and more personal attention from the mother. and as the functions of the bowels are of. the utmost inn portance to health, great attention should be paid to them.
 E Diet is of great importance. and the mother should watch the effect of certain foods. A food will con stipate one and not another, and so we have a. healthy food like eggs causing bi1iousness to thousands. and a wholesome fruit like bananas con stipating many. It is also to be con- sidered that the child is growing, and great changes are taking place in the young man or young woman. The system has not yet settled itself to it's later routine.
 A very valuable remedy at this stage, and one which every growing boy and girl should be given often or occasionally, according to the indi- vidual circumstances, is pr. Ca1d- wells Syrup Pepsin. This is a laxa- tive and tonic combined, so mild that it is given to- little babies, and yet substitution At the first sign of a tendency to constipation give a small dose of Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring, and prompt action will foI- low in the morning.

One never thinks of Peter without thinking of Maud Adams, who is some kind of a distant relative Of his and a boon companion.

CHIMNEY ROCK, WYOMING

Probably the most slender, delicate
appearing natural rock spire in the
country is Chimney rock in Cheyenne
county, Wyoming. Shorn even of its
topmost pinnacle, this rock would be
a striking landmark, rising IS it does
over 300 feet above the surrounding
land, but with this added 75-foot shaft
Chimney rock is remarkable looking
formation. The several bases and the
rock itself are series of sandstone
and clay strata showing that at some
distant age this part of the United
States, now thousands of feet above
sea level, was the bed of an ocean.
In one of the early geologic ages the
whole of Wyoming and other adjoin-
ing states were covered by shallow
sea- Later the land was uplifted
thousands of feet-Chimney rock is
over 1900 feet above sea level-and
still later much of it washed and
eroded away. Chimney rock, some
what harder than the surrounding
floor of this ancient sea, is one of the
last remaining fragments of great
Gaping which Immediately following
the land uplift, covered this portion
of the country.
