but the wise course persued by the
President, in avoiding war with
Mexico, has saved to the United
States, Indebtedness Of millions Of
dollars, and preserved happy homes,
which otherwise would have been
the home OF a orphan children, and
today, the young men Of our coun-
try and the fathers, are alive and the
home is happy in that there is none
cut down in the bloody battle, and
more, to rerlize, that at the head OF
this great nation, we have Presi-
dent, who seeks peace instead of war,
and has not only succeeded in avoid
ing a continuation of the strife in
Mexico, but has prevented war Ie-
tween that country and ours, and to
day all over this land, the people are
singing his praise, and the Demo-
Gratis, Bull Moose and Republicans
are in happy accord over the results
in the happy termination Of the
Mexican troubles, and the writer
makes the prediction, that the
strong arm Of President Wilson, is
going to strike the stroke Of peace,
for the waring people Of all Europe,
in the end.
The last important measure, that
has passed Congress, is the Anti
Trust bill, which is an other long
step in the right direction, and in
the passage Of this bill, as in the 9th
er important measure, the passage
was notconfined to strict party lines,
but in the passage Of the Anti Trust
bill in the Senate, seven Republicans
voted for it, so that, while these new
and equitable laws are Democratic
measures, yet they have been passed
by the endorsement of some of the
strongest Republicans in that par
ty.
Mr.. Woodrow Wilson, has proven
himself tie be a leader of men, and of
his party, he is the peer OF any man
in it, as he has fully proven by his
wise and patriotic administration,
and the fact is apparent to the OPP
posing party, that he will be nomin-
ated and elected in 1916 for an other
term, as President, and this will
give thesssnewly enacted laws, full
opportunity to prove their value.
The only important way now, for
the people OF this country to show
their appreciation of the services of
this God Icing man, is to return a
Congress in full sympathy with his
acts.

clothes, setting delicate colors and
to mix with linseed oil for polishing
furniture.
In another bottle keep sifted plas-
ter of Paris. Five cents. worth VIII

mended, they will be useful in the
store room and In the refrigerator.
The plaster of Paris Is mixed with
the white Of egg and applied at once
to the broken edges which must be
pressed together quickly and held
firmly until the plaster sets. This
mixture may also be used TO repair
lamp tops and other articles of met

NEW ORLEANS, LA, March IL
In his address before the Rotarlans. on
the subject of bread wrapping, Dr. c.
c. Green, city health officer, said In
part:
ut was a pleasure to be present at
your meeting of last week and hear
the splendid paper presented by Mr..
Stude on Bread Wrapping And ]
wish to say right here that If all of
our bakers were OF such broad gauge
as he, then this would be my easiest
rather than my most difficult task
But even he said some things In his
paper that / must take issue with. He
told you that you could get more bread
in Houston for five cents than you
could In any other city Ia the country
except one, and that the bakers were
opposed TO wrapping bread. because the
additional cost would be so great. But
there Is a significant fact that this one
place, where you can get more bread
for nickel than you can in Houston,
is no other place than New Orleans,
La. where all of the bread is wrapped.
and yet they give seventeen ounces
Of bread wrapped. for five cents, while
in Houston we only receive sixteen
ounces. unwrapped. So I believe that
! am correct in concluding that the
question of wrapping. bread Is not so
expensive as we might think at first
sight and feel perfectly sure that when
once in operation the business Will ad-
Just itself to such an extent th&s- the
D.. Bile can easily bear the sighs in
crease in production.
Therefore, the question OF wrapped
bread narrows itself down to this:
Which is the most important. the pro-
lection of peoples health and life, or
the bank accounts of the dealers?
OF course, a change of this sort always
has tendency TO temporarily deBress
business, but isn't II more important
ttat we see to 1t that our people have
all possible protection from sickness
ard death than to worry over a slight
depression of business. which in time
is sure TO adjust itself
How Germs Spread.
at is a well known fact that tubef~
cuIosis is spread by means of the dried
sputum being blown around and com
ing in contact with foodstuffs thus
communicating ii and finally injecting
some of our people. This has been
proven by actual experience with the
so-called dustproof delivery wagons IN
certain of the larger cities, in the fol-
lowing way: A raw potato was cut
in half and placed in one OF these
wagons when il started out on Its de-
livery. and after it's return the scrap
ings from the surface of this potato
were placed In an incubator and in
almost every instance tuberculosis
germs and several other kinds OF
germs were developed, II any or YOU
