HIGHl PRICES

With prices steadily increasing and no prospect of any material relief as long as the war conditions in Europe continue their powerful influence thereon no slight duty rests upon the government for the exertion of it's power for the keeping of such infia- ton at the minimum. Much depends upon the necessary supplies obtainable as to the part which hunger is going to play in the great war A war can not be long conducted without food. and heavy drafts will unquestionably be made upon this country's crops, all of which facts are bound to have their effect upon the market, and which have prompted the suggestion that an em- bargo be placed thereon to keep prices down.
 Just now wheat and flour are ad- vancing rapidly. There Is always a large supply of both available for the foreign market, without curtailing this country's demand, but with production abroad decreased, abnormal demands are bound to make abnormal prices. Such means that the American con- sumer is at the mercy of foreign gold unless protection is given to the con- sumers of this country This brings the government face to face with the problem, as to whether it is going to furnish Europe with what is needed in the way of foodstuffs to keep the war going at sacrifice to the people of this country, or whether it is going to take steps which will insure the exportation of only what would amount to a surplus. This country is not obligated to keep Europe's arm ies fed that they may continue to battle.

Heat is Quick to
 Affect the Bowels
Well-Known Fact That Ex- reme Heat Conduces to
 Chronic Constipation.

So many people are in the habit of eating cold food in hot weather that constipation is very common during summer It is best to vary the food and have some hot things, as, for ex- ample, soups and hot fish and meats if that is to be the diet. Iced water should be drunk sparingly.
 In spite of all care people will be- come constipated, and if you find yourself in that condition you can get immediate relief by the use of Dr CaldwelPs s Syrup Pepsin. There Is no time of the year when You should be more careful of constipation than in the summer, for many of the serious illnesses as we'll as the fatalities re- suit from a clogging up of the bowels You also need general good health to withstand the heat, and hence Syrup Pepsin is best to take because it con- tains tonic ingredients that help to build up the entire system.
 Numerous users throughout the land will verify these facts. among them MT. George c. Allen, 40S N Main St, Reading, Mass. who re- covered his health completely after using only two bottles; and Miss Anna Schoff, 249 s. Washington St.

WRONG USE OF AlRsHtPs.

What should not be. as well as what can be, the use of the flying machines in time of wan promises to be re- vealed during the existing conflict across the water. The possibilities of such craft permit of great flights of the imagination but not only how terrible but how unjust use may be made of them is actually revealed by the dropping of highly explosive bombs upon the city of Antwerp by the Zeppelin airships Such taking of the lives of innocent people, non-com- batants, women and children and even the damage of Red Cross hospital in a. city which is not the object of an assault is against the rules Of mod eran warfare.
 Even though Germany has not sane tioned the rule, which twenty seven other nations have, against the drop ping of bombs upon an enemy from any form of an aircraft, respect for humanity should be sufficient for Nthe withholding of all of their balloons from such outrages. The aviation corps cannot be so large but what it should be sufficiently well under con- 1roi at all times to make it impossible
 for any such practices to occur even though not ordered. The pos abilities of destruction and loss oi life from such an unjustif1able method
 of warfare demands the highest dis
 cipline. When Antwerp is actually moved against and the fortified town attacked Germany, under it's declina- ton to refrain from using airships fol dropping explosives, may claim justifi-
 cation, but even then it should be con- | fined to certain districts. Germany has tbeen shown by it's own practices req, son for signing such a proposition.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
IMPORTANCE OF sMALC THINGS

Scatter seeds of pretty flowers
 In your gardens of rich loom: They will brighten lonely towers
 Where some people make their home. Scatter seeds of loving kindness. E
 As you journey down life's way; You will reap a wealth of gladness,
 For each golden yesterday.
 Dorothy D. Jones.
 It is the little things in life that count, for they soon grow into the important things. As we journey down life's path there are a host of little things that very often escape notice. For instance, a little word of kindness now and then will often tend to tighten the burden of some fellow being.
 A great many persons are under the impression that life is all sowing and no reaping and they are careless how they sow But when the time comes for reaping they will realize the fact that it would have added greatly tC their happiness if they had sown g little more carefully.
 The little verse above, although briei and simple. contains a moral that is the handspring of happiness and any one will do well to learn it. One car never have too many friends and eact new one added to the list of ac- quaintances is just one more thorr removed from the rose garden or life

the Berlin Post as follows, If we find ourselves thwarted in our struggle to emerge and survive as world power we shall be infalliably driven to draW the sword
 Germany has been berated by peace fanatics more than any other power, because of her large standing army and for the upholding of her navy; the cry has been, "miiitarism is rob- ping and killing the people, and yet there is no country on earh %neIe %. "the people" as a whole are better off. or that has made the intellectual and material progress that Germany has during the last fifty years; what else was she to do but build up her army and navy? On her eastern bor- der stood Russia in alliance with il Ehs- = land and France. her bitter enemies' on her western border stood hostile France and treacherous Belgium; while England, naughty, proud, en- yious and jealous stood always reau! to oppose. any and every eXpanSlNe move Germany attempted: nat standing has a nation unless 1t IS pre- pared to defend it's very existence For over forty years France has held her heart vengeance against Gernahy : and has been planning to re-take her lost provinces. However this war may end for years there will be hatred among the nations, just as France has been hating Germany for the last fortv-three years It is foolishness to look for peace under sucn conoltpns, First pure. then peaceable," is the rule for States and Nations, as well as for individuals, families and church
 Germany assailed on all sides will doubtedIess be greatly humillated m this war but in spite of this, we pe- | iieye she will stand as the Third world power. What God has spoken bv the mouth of His phophet will most surely come to pass. Let us be aroused for we are living in 'The last times.

It is an absurdity to say. as the statutes do that it is an illegal act calling for 8 substantial fine to put pure water in milk or vipSgar, or to secretly adulterate food products while at the same time the supply may be controlled, or cornered and the price artif1cially boosted until it becomes a hardship. The contrast makes a farce l of the law as it stands. The inmedi- ately important thing is that the pre- cedent has been established. If it is right for government to fix the standard of quality it must be proper 1 for it to regulate prices. It is fortu- nate that the test comes at this par l ticular time while speculators are
