The German princes consented to
that, out Of patriotism, but now that
they are called upon to perform the

their pockets they feel quite sad and
reluctant. According to Rudolph Mar

The audiences at both morning and

Of interest Mr.. EaTley's morning
sermon was an analysis and eXposi

these facts: First, Love must be the
impelling motive back Of all aCtivi

it, ElOquenCe, prophecy, knowledge
faith, charity, even martyrdOm, count
for nothing in Gods balance sheet
unless love stands with them.
Second: In verses 4 to 7, a ray OF
love is passed through Gods spectre
scope, and the analysis reveals pa
thence, kindness, generosity, humil-
ity, courtesy, unseltishness, goOC
temper, guilelessness and sincerity.
The one who really loves is SLOW
to resent a slight, gracious in de
meanor, is not green with envy, does
not show off, has good manners, does
not hold a grudge nor delight him
self in an evil report. If we fail in any
of these we fail in love- If we fail in
love, we no not have the spirit Of
Christ. IF any man have not the

POISON IVY.

An Iowa correspondent asked the
following question: Can you tell me
something about the nature Of poison
ivy? Does poison come from the dust
on it or from the juice? Is there any
thing a person can put on the skin
or take to keep from getting poisoned
when ii is necessary TO work around
lit? ! should like to know if there is
any successful way of getting rid OF
the vine"
To which Wallace's Farmer replies
as follows:
Poison ivy poisoning is caused by
an oil which is found in all parts OF
the plant This oil does not dissolve
in water, and for that reason washing
the hands after coming in contact
with poison ivy does little If any good
1t is very easily removed from the
hands, however, by washing with al
cohol and the poison Is destroyed by
an duplication of alcoholic solution OF
sugar and lead This solution Is made
by adding to 60 per cent alcohol pow.
dered sugar of lead until no more can
be dissolved in it. This milky solu'
ton is rubbed on the affected skin
several times day. 1t relieves the
itching almost at once, and without
fail cures the trouble in short time.
Sugar OF lead is poisonous If taken in
ternally, and care must be taken not
to leave the solution where children
or animals can get at 1t.
In every community are persons
who handle poison ivy without dan
ger. The best method of destruction
is. to have these persons cut out the
ivy at regular intervals. If no per,
son of this sort can be gotten to do
1t anyone can do 1t by taking care
that the hands are washed several
times daily in the alcoholic lead and
that the poisonous oil is not trans
ferred into the clothes. Applying a
half teaspoonful of sulphuric acid
every week or so TO the base OF the
poison ivy plant will in time get tae

DUST The eoor LEooERs.

Every sale of liquor that has been
made in Mahaska County in months
has been illegal, and yet II the mem
beers of the city council are correct in
their statements the traffic has been
enormous. The situation has become
so bad that the city administration
has decided to compel the county ad-
ministration TO do something. The
city will also help by imposing a
heavy fine on the unfOrtunates who
imbibe too much of the fiery stuff.
The laws are very plain as they
stand and it is up to all peace officers
OF the county to enforce them. Inc
city evidently thinks sufficient Is not
being done in this line. But now that
the ammunition is all ready and the
guns are trained on the traffic, the

Will SON AND The PLANK.

Those who think the so called sin
gle term plank OF the Baltimore plat
form may be heavy handicap tC
President Wilson, as a candidate fol
a second term probably will be sur
prised to find how little figure that
plank will cut in the 1916 campaign
Just what is the sO-called single
term plank? Does it pledge the pres
ident, as many commentators assume
to accept only single term in tie
White House?
The plank in question, which, &C
cOrding to all accounts, was offered
by Mr. Bryan, reads as follows:
We favor single presidential.
term, and to that end urge the
adoption Of an amendment TO the
constitution making the president
OF the United States ineligible
for reelection. and we pledge
the candidate of this convention
TO this principle.
What is the literal translation Of
the plank? IL commits the demo
cratic party TO the enactment of 9
constitutional amendment combining
tAe executive to single term. II
pledges the democratic candidate Il
the principle involved.

PRAYERS FOR PEACE.

In Germany and Austria millions OF
Christian men and women utter
heartfelt petitions daily that God
may intervene TO terminate the cruel
conf1ict--terminate it by giving vict
DRY to the cause they believe to be
right-their cause.
In Russia, France and Great Brit.
ain similar petitions go up day by
day from other millions OF deyout
Christians-patriots whose belief in
the justice of their cause is unfailing
and who feel free 10 call on the God
OF Battles to fight on their side and
thus vouchsafe them certain victory.
II is plain that the prayers Of both
OF these hosts of petitioners cannot
be granted. Providence cannot de.
cree victory in battle to rival legiOns.
neutral Providence can but see
selfishness and unconscious partisan
ship in the prayers of one people to
be exalted at the expense OF another.
1t is now proposed that neutral
Cristian nation shall lift its prayers
in unison-nOt for the success of one
flag or another, but for peace along
such lines as Providence in its wis
dom may decree. There can be no
selfshness, no partisanship in this
plea. The prayer is for peace-not
for the good of any nation or nations,
but for the good OF the Christian
world. Nowhere can there be en-
barrassment by reason of the filing
OF such petitions on high.
President Wilson's call for a day
of prayer, on Sunday, October 4. for
world peace will give well nigh unan.
imous sentiment in this country a
chance to find expression" says the
Sioux City Journal, Ito make itself
manifest TO the world. Those who
believe in the direct efficacy OF pray.

the helpful psychological influence OF
such an outpouring o. sentiment
