SUICIDE OF
MtLITARlSM

The Philadelphia Public Ledger by
one Of its correspondents makes the
following observations on the wal
situation as 1t now presents itself:
For unnumbered centuries the wis
est and best of mankind have been
striving to impress upon the minds
and hearts of their fellowmcu a re
alizing sense of the horrors and suf
fering, the sinfulness and uselessness
of war. But although there has
been a wonderful increase in the
number OF their followers and CO
laborers during the last twenty years
1t has seemed until recently that
1t might be long period before their
propaganda could be SO extended as
to secure In all the leading countries
the majorities necessary to control
the policies of their respective gov
ernments. These conditions have
been totally changed by the events or
July and August, 1914.
The educational propaganda. which
might otherwise have required an0th
er decade, has been unconsciously as.
sumed by power which cannot be
denied or evaded. The rulers who
control the most powerful of human
agencies are now forcing upon every
nation. every class and every individ-
ual practical, personal knowledge
or experience of the sufferings. the
misery and the losses. which are the
inevitable consequences Of great ar
maments and great wars. No peace
or arbitration societies could COM
pare with these kings of the earth IN
the rapldity and thoroughness with
which they are now convincing all
men everywhere, that such world ru.
lining conflicts as are now raging
must and shall be made impossible
LOT all time TO come.
Can anyone doubt that when the
demons of war and famine and dis
ease and financial ruin have done
their worst, and the surviving combat
ants can fight no longer, there VIII
be world wide demand for some
new form of organization that will
make another war between civilized
nations forever impossible. Whoever
and whatever may stand in the way.
of that demand will be swept aside
like straw before a hurricane.
To discuss and agree upon the wis
est plans for submission to the war
worn nations is an urgent and imper
alive duty for those who are best
fitted to perform it. Under present
conditions no proposition should be
rejected because 1t seems too radical
unless something better can be de.
vised.
Even plan based upon the abol.
ition of all armies except one inter
national force controlled by an inter-
national commission and used for the
protection of every cooperating ma.
ton, may be found worthy of con
sideration.

Alcohol a Menace To the Race.

Charles w. Eliot, president emeritus of
Harvard University, is out with state-
ment that the increase OF insane criminal
persons is largely due to the use of alco-
hol. He contends that for the last ten
years his studies have led him to look
more carefully into temperance than ever
before.
"These studies related" he says, ito
the terrible effects OF alcoholism in in
creasing The number OF the feeble-mind-
ed, insane criminal in our American COM
munitieS. Somewhat more than a year
ago had long opportunity of observing
the difference between the Write race
and the Japanese, the Chinese. the Indian.
the Malay and some of the Mahometan
people in regard to susceptibility to the
alcoholic temptation. The white race is
inferior to all the other people | have
named in regard to this susceptibility to
the temptation of alcoholism.
"No observant person can travel
through the East for year without being
shocked by the manifest tendency OF the
white race temporarily resident there to
destroy itself through alcoholism. The
lesson OF the East is that the alcoholism
of the white race must be overcome or
that vice will overcome the race"

Mother Love In Birds.

So strong is the mother love developed
in the stork and the lark that it amounts TO
a heroic passion.
The stork, which spends the winter in
Egypt and the summer in northern and
western Europe, likes TO build its nest on
the top OF some steep gable rooT. Such
a nest is often a real nuisance to man. 1t
is from three to tive yards IN diameter; It
swarms with lizards, frogs, toadS and
other diSagreeable creatures. II becomes
in course OF time so heavy that 1t will
break the root if not aniticIaIly propped
Up from below.
Nevertheless, Tor various SuperStltlouS
reasons The stork is not only welcome,
but even courted by the European peas
ants, and it cannot be denied that the re-
spect with which the bird is regarded is
to some extent deserved.
II the house takes fire and the young
storks happen TO be OF an age at which
they cannot be saved by being taken away
from the nest the Stork mother does net
abandon them.
Standing erect in the nest, flap ing her
wings to wait away the smoke and the
flames, and crying out now and then, she
remains with her young, periShing with
them.
The skylark, which builds IFS nest in
the meadows, runs away from II when
frightened. She proce dS for four Of five
yards under the clover and rises perpen-
dcuIarlY in the air, pouring forth her
song in its widest strains i'll order TO di-
vert the intruder'S attention. But the
peasant boy knows that so long as she
remains hanging at the same point in the
air he is still four or five yards from the
nest, and he uses the direction OF her
movements and the ring OF her song to
ascertain the exact spot.
If it chances that the young larkS are
just about to break through the shell Of
the eggs, at which time the mother in
stinct is at IFS height, il is said that at the
very moment when the nest is touched
the little bird will atcually attack the in
truder.

GATARRH OF
The pHARYNX.

Clearing out your throat every day,
all day. That is what you have been
doing for months. Possibly years. A
little mucus covers the pharynX.
II you were to go to a doctor he
would tell you that you have phar-
yngitis. If you were to look into
your own throat you would find just
back of the soft palate n red, lumpy,
granular appearance of the back part
of the throat. Pharyngitis the doc
tors call it.
Perhaps he would call 1t, folicular
pharyngitis. 1t causes you constant
annoyance. You are always making
slight disturbances when seated in an
audience. Can't hold your throat
still. Stringy mucus bothers you.
Worse in the morning.
A-hem! A-hem! A-hem! That IS
the way you are going nearly all day.
Sometimes in the night when you
wake up. You ought TO gargle your
throat with salt water every morn
ing. Cold salt water. That clears
out the throat perfectly and makes it
ready for treatment.
Peruna is the treatment. Begin
with a teaspoonful before each meal
and at bedtime. Try it for a week.
You will be convinced. OF course.
Peruna will not entirely relieve you
in a week. That Is too much to ex-
pect Of any remedy. But 1t will bene-
fit you so much you will be con-
vinced. Yes, it will. 1t has done
this many times.
Folicular pharyngitis. Big words.
Almost as bad as the disease. But II
you take Peruna for one month reg
ularly, you may forget that you ever
had such a disease. Then you Will
have perfect right to forget the big
words too.
People who object to liquid medi-
cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

Farm Products bY Mail.

Postmaster General BurleSon has an
nounced the establishment OF "farm
products post" which can be utilized by
farmers and truckers for the shipment OF
crates or boxes of butter, eggs, vegeta-
bles and dressed poultry, weighing be-
tween 20 and 50 pounds, directly from
the farm to the city kitchen.
The new service is provided only Tor
the first and second zones - approxi-
mately 80 airline miles. Under The
new regulations boxes and crates similar
to those used in the express service when
packed with farm products, will be car
red outside the mail bags and will be
promptly delivered TO the city consumer.
The farm products post is created
for the purpose OF opening up cheap
marketing avenue between the trucker
and the city consumer, with the view OF
reducing the cost OF table necessities in
the populouS centres. Investigations
show that food products, for which the
farmer receives 50 "a on his farm, are
retaiIed in the city for 50 So under the
present marketing system. II is the idea
OF the Postoifice and Agricultural De-
partment experts, who have been study
ing this problem, that the farmer will ac-
cept s. p, postage prepaid, for the art-
cles OF food which he sells 10 the COM
mission merchant for approximately 1924
and for which the city consumer pays
$555 If he does, the city consumer will
save about 81 25 on every market basket.
The Postoifice Department declares
that the new regulations should prove
"boon TO farmers and truckers" Under
The old regulations the crates and boxes
of farm products had TO be securely packed
and of such limited size so they could be
placed in mail bags. Under the new
regulations the ordinary crates used in
the express service for butter, eggs,
fruits, berries, vegetables. dressed poultry
and other articles will be accepted, pro-
vided, of course, the maximum weight OF
these crates is not over 30 pounds.
Packages under 20 pounds must be Sc
curey packed so that they can be han
died in mail sacks with ordinary mail.

On one occasion as services were held
in country church the good minister was
teaching and preaching about the glorious
heaven; tn re would be no sickness. so
no physician would be there. A few
days later one of the country doctors was
found very sad and wailing aloud. On
being asked what allied him, he answered:
"Oh, have found out now that can't
go to heaven"
His friends seemed somewhat surpris-
ed, and one said:
"Well, Doc, you must be pretty bad

sobbing. 81 am as good as any man in

The veil from their eyes is taken,
Sweet mysteries they are shown.
Their doubts and fears are over.
For they know as they are known.
For them there should be rejoicing

Till the path which we have trod

Now, see here when the waiter
had gone," his isn't so bad as you

"How are Your BoweIs?" A Simple
Remedy that Guarantees Good
Bowel Action.
Trace the origin of the commoner
ills of life and almost invariably you
will find that constipation was the
cause. It is not to be expected that a
mass of fermented food can remain in
the system beyond it's time without
vitiating the blood and affecting the
nerves and muscles. 1t congests the
entire body.
The results are colds, fevers. piles,
headaches, and nervousness, with its
accompanying indigestion and sleep
lessness. There is only one thing to
do, and that is to remove the trouble;
and when nature seems unable to do
it, outside aid is necessary. You will
find the best of all outside aids a rem

now more beautiful than ever with the
lights cleaning through the wark

glimpse of the Seine and its jewelled

But the charm of all this was lost
on Helen. She was not leaning back
and enjoying the beauty of the drive.
Instead she was sitting bolt upright,

herself up to a study of the place.
Not a bad looking girl over there
in yellow commented Warren.
Il was just going to speak of her
that's the most WONDERFUL gown"
The girl was dark and slender. with
heavy brown hair drawn low into
simple coil on her neck. Her dress
was of pale yellow chiffon, with brown
fringe; her hat of the same chiffon
was wreathed with yellow petalled,
brown eyed daisies, and the stream
ers of brown velvet ribbon were knot
ted under her chin.
Most of the hats had either ties or
streamers with the trimming placed at
some daring angle. While they must
have looked very extreme in the shop
windows, they were charming on the
women who wore them.
After all, the French women DO
know how to wear their clothes"
The ones you see here ought to-
was Warren's comment. That's
about their only job"
Dear, I haven any idea what I'm

We'll, it's good, isn't it? That's
sweet bread with truffles and wine
sauce, en- casserole-one of their spe-
cialties here. Only place in Paris you
can get it like this"
But to Helen the food was always
secondary to the atmosphere of the
place and the people. And now she
absent-mindedly ate her dinner, in
tent upon the scene about her.
"a woman never has any palate, y
grumbled Warren. This dish is a
work of art. There's smoothness
and flavor to this sauce that you
wouldn't get anywhere else in the
world. But you don't appreciate it! A
dinner like this is wasted on any
woman"

nantly. Il think it's delicious, and
I'm eating every bit of it,
