WHAT WAR MEANS 70 KANSAS.
Ultimate results Of the European
conflict which will affect Kansas are
not hard to picture. Thousands OF
men and women looking for work Of
sorts In which ignorance of the lam
guage we speak is not q handicap.
Living conditions In Europe. under the
Ievies to pay the Gar bill now mount
ing to billions, will become next to in-
tolerable. That one influence will
probably do most to drive to other
countries those least able to divide
their scanty earnings with their gov
eminent.
This will not be an unmixed good for
the United States. 1t will mean greater
competition for work among those who
labor with their hands. Doubtless 1t
will mean much to this states agri-
cultural development, for the farmers
of Europe are accustomed to intensive
work in the field. Acquisition of few
thousands of such farmers might be a
boon to Kansas. whose farmers are. In
the eyes Of their European brothers.
mere spectators upon the gifts Of ma
ture. Housewives may look forward
to an unparalleled influx of help"
and that rare Jewel, the good servant
girl. may once more be discoverable in
the land.
1t is even more probable that the
flood of European immigration will be
turned to the South American coun-
tries which are extending the invita-
ton with much more eagerness than
is the United States. That will mean
new competitors for the American
people to face in the worlds markets
and rapid Industrial strides for the re-
publics Of the southern continent. both
at home and in international relation
ships. For them that will be the silver
lining Of the European war cloud.
Kansas can easily absorb several
millions more of workers so that this
state need hardly be alarmed over the
really uncertain prospect Of q large
addition to its population.
PEACE DESTROYED BY BLUNDER
Even to this day there Is not the
slightest agreement. on the part of
statesmen or the newspaper press Of
the warning nations, as to the imme-
date causes of the war. says a writer in
the American Review of Reviews for
October. The German people believe

tated. for its own objects. q war that
the German emperor could have pre-
vented by the lifting Of finger. We
dealt last month with the sequence of
diplomatic incidents that RESULTED in
more than a dozen declaratins Of war.
Every country today protests that it
did not want war and did all that 1t
could to prevent the outbreak. This
seems to many people incredible in view
of the undisputed incidents. Yet we
may express the belief that Germany,
Russia. and England are equally sincere
in believing that they did what they
could to prevent war. But what con-
clusion must we reach in view of these
pitiable disclaimers of wicked intention?
Simply this. that the European govern
ments do not represent the people. that
they are not At to govern. that they
they are not fit too govern. that they
should be deprived Of the war power.

IN SEARCH OF HEALTH

THE public believes that
every disease has its remedy,
and in the search for that
remedy hundreds of cults
have sprung up. One man
pins his faith to minute doses
of powerful drugs; another
walks barefoot over wet grass;
another eats raw fruit and
grain; one is confident that
mud baths induce health. and
still another urges US to chew
each mouthful of food at least
thirty times before swallowing.
No doubt every one of these
sures" is of some benefit to
some form IF disease. The
mistake of followers of the
treatments is in thinking their
particular remedy is a cureall
for every malady. There is no
universal remedies. Every
type of disease must receive
special attention and be treated
in the way long experience
and study has taught is best
adapted to the case. Certain
ills respond quickly to drugs
the virtues of which are some
times wonderfully effective;
others need nothing but fresh
air; still others a change OF
climate, while a variety of d..
seases need no drugs and no
journey to the mountains, but
are best relieved by simple diet
ing. And just az the variety
of drug preparations is almost
beyond the power of the maker
to recall and is daily being in.
creased by the chemist and
pharmacist so a great variety
of remedies has been brought
out that cannot be considered
as drugs, but which still
possess singular curative prop
critics. Some disease are best
relieved by special foods pre-
pared of materials that do not
aggravate the abnormal condi-
ton of the patient, but that
tend to remove the disturbing
cause. Many of these prepare
tons advertised as foods
contain ingredients which are
harmful to persons suffering
from diseases. Diabetic foods
are supposed to contain gluten
in place of starch, yet most Of
the commercial diabetic fours
are by no means pure gluten
since they contain considera-
BILE quantities of starch. Some
of them are nothing more than
whole wheat or graham flours,
and are positively dangerous
for diabetic invalids use. They
