CAUSES FOR THE EUROPEAN WAR
Dr. Thomas E. Green Says They Blood Lust Greed Re- vcnge and Jealousy-Spoke in Y. M C. A. Course-The One Relic of Barbarism That Remains

America, the Great Peacemaker, was the subject of the lecture by Dr. Thomas E. Green of Chicago, vice president of the American Peace soci- ety, at the Central Baptist church on Monday evening i'll the next to the last number of the entertainment course held under the auspices of the Young Mems Christian Association. An audience of several hundred people, attentive and deeply interested in the gripping and forceful lecture, greeted Dr. Green as he was introduced by Rev. Richard R. Graham, rector of Christ Episcopal church.
 pr. Green summed up the causes of the present great strife beyond the seas, attributing this, the greatest of all wars, to blood lust, greed, revenge and jealousy. In his opening remarks he said that he had returned to this country a, comparatively few months ago after d fifteen months trip around the world, which had for it's definite object g visit to the countries with which this country would be the most likely to be brought in contact and what he would say was the result of this personal investigation.
 In part pr. Greens lecture was as follows:
 If money is the measure of economic value, civilization is standing face to face with a most Stupendous problem. Sixty-fiVe per cent of the entire income of the civilized world was lavished during the last year upon an object which stands, by common consent, very low in the scale Of moral appraise- ment.
 During 1912 the nations spent two bil- lion, two hundred and Gfty millions of dollars ($2,250, 900, 000) in the creation of military and naval arIhament.
 During the nineteenth century alone 14,000.000 men died as a result of bat T fr.--4 F-za thousand million dollars for their talk ing care of. And as the result of all that stupendous price of life and treasure there stands but little great achievement recorded for the common good.
 left in the world today.
 Defining war as the binding of the innocent in sorrow and bereavement and taking out of the world the best of a race of men, leaving behind the aged and weddings, the speaker paid his respects to some of the German writers who have in their literary works spoken of war as an absolute blessing and an advancement of ciVin ga ton, adding that history has proven the contrary, and that ot the end of every war the nations engaged, both victor and Nanquished, were left far verse off than before.
 AS an ilustration-Efan was Spok- en of with a race weakened while the South has showed the loss of dynamic power since the Civil war, and yet never before has there been such a pouring out of money in preparation of wa as in the opening of the 20th century.

Avoid these. but ca fairly substantial meals Of plain foods Eat slowly Even if you drink nothing but water you before and after eating. Do not take pepsIn or other artificial digest2nts.

COME SAGE TEA
 INTO GRAY HAIR
fully and nobody can teii-Rrinss back it's gloss and thickness.

Common garden sage brewed into q heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, strealled and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri ant; remove every bit of dandruff stop scalp itching and falling hair Mixing the Sage Tea, and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is trouble some. An easier way is to get the ready-to tonic. costing about 50 cents a large bottle. at drug stores known as 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound thus avoiding a lot of muss.
 While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain oIr youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly You just dampen a sponge CT soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand a a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After an other application or two your hair be- comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luXuriant and you appear years younger.

Prinee, Franz Joseph and the Duchess of Hohenburg on the 2Sth of June last after touching briefly upon the Balkan war. Into the midst of a people filled with hate and revolution because of Austrian annexation of their territory they went on a tour of inspection and were murdered. The killing was laid at Serva's door by Austra- Hungary, which led to unjust demands on the part of Austria which SerVia was compelled to decline and then came the war. Russia came to SerV1a's aid, Germany sided with Austria, and the other nations declared war in turn as a house of cards falls upon being dis turbed It has even been hinted that the killing of the royal pair was simp- iy cut and dried scheme to provide an excuse for the starting of the great conflict in which the nations are now engaged and one of the circumstances
 TtlcIl seemingly lends credence to this statement is the fact that the criminal who murdered the crown prince and his wife was sentenced, not to death, but to ten years in military pr1Son pr. Green said that the next two or three generations will have to pay dearly as the results of this great conflict.
 The lecturer spoke of the origin of The Hague Peace Tribunal and said that of the II cases presented 12 have been settled and in no case has the de- cision rendered been questioned. The Hague conference is very well worth while.
 Some of the Reasons.
 Some of the reasons given by Dr. Green as the cause of the war were as follows:
 Race hatred, blood lust between Ger man and Slav; Teuton and Servian. Second, greed, aNarice-that means Russia which has for 15O years been trying to drive the Turks out of Flu rope so that they may secure an open
 port. Third, revenge and that means France. She has not forgotten her former defeats at German hands, the seizure Of AlSace and Lorraine. Fourth, jealousy, and that means Eng land and Germany. For the past 25 years or more Germany has astonish- ed the world by her progress. England for the last decade has been losing thousands of her best young men who have tired of the crowded life of the mother country and who have left for the United States, Australia and Canada. Just when England is feel ing this deterioration most along comes Germany and challenges England $ premiership in Europe.
 In closing the speaker called atten- tion to the great boundary between the United States and Canada where no soldiers are required for guards. What these two countries have done the others can do, said the speaker and when the mission of this land is accomplished he would have written high in letters of light, not that the United States is the greatest nation in the world, nor the richest nation in the world, but simply, This was Amer iea, the Peacemaller of the World.
 pr. Green was heartily appladed at the close of his lecture which covered approximately two hours.

SUNDAY ON JEWS.

III q recent sermon entitled The Story of Jacob" the Rev. Billy" Sunday, who is conducting a revival campaign in Philadelphia, Pa, said among other things:
 The history of the Jews is the most stupendous monument in the history of the Bible.
 None of my kin are Jews; l never married a Jew. haven't any Jewish uncles or cousins or aunts; I never borrowed a dollar from a Jew. nor do I owe a. Jew any money. There fore3 I am speaking independently of any Influence.
 The Jew of to-day is as distinctly Jew as he was 6.e00 years ago, when God entered into the covenant of circumcision with Abraham. The purest blood on Gods earth is that in the race of Jews. We are proud Rock. 9ii-abeau, in the French As sen1bly; Samuel Adams, in the Mas sachusetts Legislature; Patrick Henry in the Virginia House of Deputies, never said anything more eloquent than did Disraeli, the Jew, in answer to the taunts of 0'Connell: When your ancestors were naked saVages, roaming over the hills and through the forests, mine were high priests in the temple of God"
 The shrewdcst fnanciers in the world are Jews. You pay tribute in the clothes you wear I pay tribute in the suit l wear. to the Jew. They control the clothing industry in America. There is not a cabinet in Europe that has not & Jew as a mem- Der. It IS said that Kuhn. Loeb & Co. stopped the Japanese war by re- fuSing to give any more money. When you visit the poor-houses and county institutions you never find any Jew ish fathers and mothers. A Jew established in New York a. pure milk supply.
 to discover America. When Queen Isabella pawned her Jewels a Jew drew the map that Columbus used. His doctor was a. Jew one of his captains was a. Jew: his interpreter was a Jew. He, by tho way, was the first white man 10 put his foot on Jews on WashinGton's staff during A Jew gave s65&,O00 in the darkest hours Of the Revolution to help found the American republic. They have outliyed the house of Tudor, the house of Plantagenet, Charlemagne.
 Caesar, Egypt, Rome, Greece the Jew has outliTed them all. When 5000 years more have passed the Jew will probably outlive those centuries. Every morning of the school year 1S.000.000 children pledge their alleg- lance to the Stars and Stripes. Of these 100000 are sons and daughters of Abraham. You never see Q Jew, as a Weary Willie or a bum, touch you for the price Of q flop of beer. The life or Jacob is largely the worlds history

Women's Health Requires Care

Women are so constituted as to be peculiarly suscept tioie to con st,pation, and their general health depends, in large IT easure On careful regulation and correc- ton of this tendency. Their del- icate organisms rebel at the violence of cathartic and purga- tive remedies, which, while they may afford temporary relief, shock the system and seriously disturb the functional organs. A mild laxative is far preferable and if properly compounded, much mere effective.
 The combination of simple lax ative herbs with Pepsin sold in drug stores under the name of pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is ideal for women's use. \ free trial bottle can be obtained by writing to pr. W. E. Caldwell, 4o2 Washington St, Monticello, Ills.
