Nor . Moral Force Is Needed

President Wilson has told the Potomac Presby-
terry that China. converted to Christianity would
give great momentum to the moral forces of the
world, and it does appear so when we consider the
immortality into which very large part of the Chris
tan world is plunged.
For many centuries, the Chinese have been relig-
iousy opposed to the horrors of war and of high fin
ance and there is lack of proof of their superla
tive loyalty to their religion, such as it is.
Their worst national immortality has been the use
Of opium, and that has been largely encouraged
among them by Christian nations. Strong desire for
peace, personal honor and loyalty to faith make a
good basis for Christianity.
OF course, the Chinese might not make good fight
Ing Christians, but we agree with President Wilson
tbat 4 judiciously converted, they'd add to the
MORAL forces of us.

DISTRIBUTION OF
 A NERVE TONIC
We'll Kown Drink Placed Before
 Large Section of the Public

A. G. Hulett, a member of the Rotary Club, at the weekly meeting of the organization at the Arizona club yesterday. embraced the oppor- tunitv to spread the fame of an al- ready famous drink of his own con coction. called "Celery-Vig" It was good time to get this beverage be fore the public since so many other beverages in vogue a year ago are now interdicted by law
 Mir. Hulett distributed a great sheaf of tickets among the members, each emitting the holder to one drink lat either his store or Berryhill's, where the drink has just been placed on sale They were enthusiastically accepted by the Rotarians who Mir. Hulett supposed would drift in in the course of a week and he would re deem the tickets so gradually that the Celery Wig would not be missed But that is just what did not happen They adjourned to his place of busi ness in a body and as the body did not seem large enough they con scirpted persons whom they met along the way.
 "Celery-Vig" is advertised as a great nerve drink" But when Mir Hulett saw his fellow members des- cending upon him in this manner with the halt. the lame and the blind whom they had picked up on the way. he probably thought that any nerve tonic bestowed upon them was entirely superfluous
