BADBLOOD
Hatred Of the Nations for One
Another.

The European war was born of the
hatred caused by earlier warfare-it
will engender other wars between the
same nations in the future. The sons
vet unborn will carry this hatred IN.
their blood to blaze into warfare when
the spark is touched by Kings or
Statesmen who are yet in infancy.
It's bad blood that makes your liver
sluggish and the same bad blood
causes your stomach muscles to lose
their elasticity and become fiaboy ana
weak, and that means Indigestion.

Take it as directed and it will search
out the impure and poisonous matter IN
the stomach, liver, bowels and kidneys
and drive 1t from the system through

cess in the training Of young girls into
lives OF Christian usefulness fit her pc.
culiarly to undertake the work OF the

thorlties as the location for their new

8 4 BIRTHDAY PARTY
BY Q. Teronce.

DR.. Lyman Abbott, the distinguished
editor of The outlook, was born in
Roxbury, Mass, seventy-nine years ago
today, Dec. 1873 1886. At first a lawyer,
he abandoned that profession to enter
the Congregational ministry, and held

he has reached a much wider audience
through his literary labors and as the
editor.in-cheif of The Outlook. DR.. Alb
bolt attributes the present war to the
%selfshness and suspicion. the jealousy

powers" but above all other causes he
places "the ambition Of Prussia to dom
mate Europe" The eminent editor has
expressed the view that not more than
a million of Germany's slxty.two mil
lion people really wanted war. That
the tail was able to wag the dog, he al
leges, was because the million included
practically all OF the a%ristocraey and
the intellectual leaders of the empire.
"Blut the military party having brought
on the war" he adds, Germany will
inevitably and naturally fight as a
unit" AS to the results Of the war,
DR.. Abbott wrote: "The victory Of
Germany would mean the, victory Of
Prussian militarIsm. The defeat of
Germany will mean the defeat Of Prus-
