Woman Is Ruler Over All.

Why does woman chafe under re-
straint of sex? Why revle the hand
of nature? Why discard the skirts
that civilization has clung to since
the beginning of time? Why lay aside
this hallowed garment that has wiped
childhood? In its sacred embrace
every generation has hidden its face
in shame; clinging to its motherly
folds tottering children have learned
youth learned to reverence and re-
spect womanhood. Can man think of
his mother without this consecrated
garment?
Why this inordinate thirst for pow
er? Is not woman all powerful? Man
cannot enter this world without her
consent, he cannot remain in peace
without her blessing and unless she
sheds tears of regret over his depar-
ture, he has lived in vain. Why this
longing for civic power when God has
made her ruler over all? Why crave
authority when man bows down and
worshiI-s her? Man has given woman
his heart, his name and his money.
What more does she want?
Can man find It in his heart to look
with pride upon the statement that his
honorable mother-in-law was one of
the most powerful political bosses in
the country, that his distinguished
grandmother was one of the ablest
filibusters in the Cenate or that his
mother was a noted warrior and her
name a terror to the enemy? Whittier
are we drifting and where will we
land?

God Save Us From a Hen-Pecked
Nation.

follow the plow for a living and
my views may have in them the smell
of the soil; my hair is turning white
under the frost of many winters and
perhaps | am little old-fashioned,
but | believe there is more moral in
fluence IL. the dress of woman than in
all the statute books Of the land. AS
an agency for morality, | wouldn't
give my good old mothers home
made gowns for all the suffragette's
constitutions and bylaws in the world.
AS a power for purifying society,
wouldn't give one prayer of my sanity
mother for all the wOmen's votes in
Christendom. AS an agency for good
government, ! wouldn't give the plea
of a mothers heart for righteousness
for all the oaths of office in the land.
There is more power in the smile
of woman than in an act of congress.
There are greater possibilities for
good government in her family of
lsughing children than in the cab
met of the president of the United
States.
The destiny of this nation lies in
the home and not in the legislative
halls. The hearthstone and the fam
lily Bible will ever remain the source
of our inspiration and the Acts of the
Apostles will ever shine brighter than
the acts of Congress.
This country is law-mad. Why add
to statute book, already groaning
under its own weight, the hysterical
cry of woman? If we never had a
chance to vote again in lifetime and
did not pass another law in twenty
five years, we could survive the or
deal, but without home. civilization
would wither and die.
God save these United States
from becoming hen-pecked nation;
help us keep sisses out of Congress
and forbid that women become step
fathers to government, is the prayer
of the farmers of this country.

SETON AND THE SCOUTS

The retirement Of Ernest Thomp-
son Seton as chief of the Boy Scouts of
America has oecasioned some com
ment unfavorable to the work of that
organization, Some charges in effect
that the Boy Scouts have been turned
into an adjunct OF militarism ana that
Mr.. Seton has resigned all connection
with them on that account, his orig
inal purpose having been TO teach the
boys interest in outdoor life and the
charms OF nature.
All this sounds well enough for MIR.
Seton, but the officials Of the Boy
Scouts tell another story. The chief
executive of the order. James Z. West,
declares that Mr.. Seton. while a man
of executive ability is without know
ledge of boys or their activities" It
also has developed that Mr.. Seton ia
not an American citizen, but a subject
of 8 foreign government, and that
there was dissatisfaction with him for
this reason. Even il the purpose OF
the Boy Scouts was nothing more
than knowledge of woodcraft and in
terest in animals and birds it was de-
sirahle that they should be under the
direction of an American citizen-a
naturaliaed one at least II not native
born.
Mr.. West says that in view Of the no
sition taken by Mr.. Seton in a letter
to the executive board derogatory to
American history. American institu-
lions and the American people, the
board voted unanimously that Mr.. Sc
ton would have 10 become a citizen of
the United States If he continued In
the capacity of official leader. This
Mr., Seton did not promise to do, at
least for the present. and the official
board conveyed TO him the decision it
had made that his usefulness was at
an end. His resignation, in short, was
practically by request
On the general subject Of the pur~
pose and usefulness Of the Boy Scouts
II IN not necessary to enter here, but
the demand that an American citizen,
rather than q foreign subject, should
have the leadership Of these Amert-
can boys seems altogether Just ami
reasonable

touching it with anything-just pour
the water over it to remove all the
old yeast and any secretions from the

The yeast dressings may be kept IN

ulcer becomes fairly clean.

A WARNING TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.

fBv Claude Kitchin, new democratic
leader Of the house Of representatives.
In the hope Of allaying to same ex-
tent the alarmed state Of mind and the
fears OF our people, provoked by the
European war, and aggravated and in
tensifed By the organized efforts OF the
so-called Patriotic societies" and the
war traffickers, / desire to make few
observations. With the experience Of
the present war, which we are daily
observing, even II our feet were not
half as big as 1t Is land ! have shown
that it is superior to that or any other
nation In the world, except that OF
Great Britain, 1t would be impossible
notwithstanding the iingoes and the
war traff1ckers and the press, for Ger
many or any other country to ever
lombard or land a soldier on our coast,
provided we were equipped with mines
and submarines. With these We are
most rapidly equipping ourselves. Eng
land has q navy two and one-half times
as strong as that Of Germany. England
and France have 8 fleet more than
three times as strong as that of Ger
many. Take q map and you will see
that the German seacoast on the
North Sea is practically at the head Of
the English CHANNEL, within less than
300 miles Of London. and has several
miles of seacoast along the Baltic. The
bulk Of the English and French fleet,
is now, and has been, within less than
a days run of the German coast. If
England could lombard or land on the
coast Of Germany, on the North Sea or
on the Baltic sea, the war would end
in go days. Germany would have to
withdraw from France to protect her
own soil. Why does not the feet of
the allies, nearly four times as strong,
20 in and destroy the little feet Of
Germany, lombard her seaCoast at
once, land an army. etc? Certainly
not because of a little German fleet
already bottled up, one-fourth as large,
but because Of mines and submarines.
Now, look at the map again and see
how the Russian coast and the Ger
man coast compare and how they ad-
join along the Baltic sea; Germany has
/ control OF the Baltic, even against the
/ feet of the allies. Germany has a fleet
four times as large as that of Russia,
What keeps Germany away from the
Russian coast? Why doesn't Germany,
with a feet four times as strong, de-
stroy the Russian feet, lombard her
seaport towns and land an army? II

GERMAN FAR sIGHTEDNEss.

The policy Of far sightedness always
characteristic of the German nation,
and which is 70 be admired always,
regardless Of its military and imper-
ialistic principles as the basis Of sue
cessfu1 government, is again shown
In the making Of great purchases Of
copper, cotton. wool, lard, wheat, farm
machinery and other products in the
markets Of the United States,
The products are being bought, ac-
cording TO the Chicago Herald. sub
ject to delivery in Germany sixty
days after the war ends" or "on or
der"
With the exception of purchases OF
wheat, all products are being ware
housed in close proximity TO Atlantic
ports, in which scores Of informed
Germa1 merchantmen are swinging at
anchor
In farm machinery circles there is
an unauthenticated report that an or
der Of small tractor engines, built for
farm work, had been delivered actu-
ally on shipboard at Newport News
and is now in the hold of the boat
awaiting transmission.
Purchases have been carried on
with utmost secrecy by agents of the
imperial government. Negotiations
have been carried ON under various
guises. Much Of the product has been
bought "on margin" which would in
volve big banking loans.
Information in the possession OF the
Chicago Herald indicates that the
products purchased and stored SO far
aggregates close to s100 .000, 900,
When the war clouds break and
peace appears, Germany, win or lose,
is as usual TO be resdy.
Who does praise the plans OF
SO far sighted a nation?

CAMPING ON BRITAIN S
TRAIL.

The state department is displaying
a commendable activity in making de-
mands upon Great Britain for explaua-
tons for its high-handed interference
with American shipping.
The latest outrage perpetrated by
Great Britain is the requisitioning Of
the American steamship Hooking with
out the Formally Of prize court pro-
eeedings. It is said two other vessels
we're also summarily held by Great
Britain.
It is quite evident thar the British
admiralty would stop every vessel not
bound for Britain or some other allied
port II it could. 1t looks to Americans
as il studied attempt is being made to
cripple United States trade and for
that purpose alone.
The controversy between the United
States and Great Britain over the inter-
ference with American sea trade has
only started. Some people have criti-
cised the state department for not pro-
ceeding more expedttiously in the mat
ter. 1t is plain that such haste as is
compatible Is being made. It scarcely
is d matter to go to war about, but it
can be depended upon that Great Brit
ain will pay every cent due for the
damage.
It is q rather SLOW and tedious FRO
cess and Britain naturally is creating
every delay possible. and sharp stick
methods will be needed to remind it
that it's no joke to trife with the United
States

existences, which had heretofore trav-
eled the pathway of life. each moving
on in an independent course, passing
through the various experiences of
life and never once dreaming of what
the end would really be, had emerged
upon the common but ever blessed
pathway of life to blend together into
single union the thought and in

affections, and thence plunge into the

4 Good Thinq About BreWeries,

The old, chronic varicose or leg Ill
Ger which is covered with a dry, re-
sistant indurated slough is one of the
most discouraging conditions to treat.
Any one who suffers with such an
ulcer will do we'll to consider what
the brewery has 10 offer in the way of
treatment.
The suggestion, so far as We are
aware. was originally made by the
late DR.. Roswell Park, the distin-
guished surgeon. author and teacher
Of Buffalo, N. Y. We have found IL
very valuable, and only our Unborn
hatred for breweries and all their
works has prevented US from passing
the information on to our readers.
Now, however, the poor breweries are
having pretty hard time keeping
their heads above water; furthermore
they have been remarkably courteous
and accommodating in furnishing
quantities Of their by-product for our
patients. so We must suppress our ra-
cial antipathy and speak the truth
about an excellent remedy-brewer'
yeast.
Any old sore that liz covered with
dirty, gangrenops or resistant
slough, or any ulcer which refuses to
assume the bright red, granular.
Telyety appearance of a healing wound
FORMULATING surface) may be treated
with brewers yeast TO good advan-
tage. The yeast is obtained fresh ev-
cry two or three days from the brew
cry in wide-mouthed jar or pail
a quart or 50 at time-and kept In
the refrigerator If the brewers real
product tastes and acts as well as this
by-product smells we do not blame
the few million people who consume
the former.
Apply the semi-huid yeast on ster-
lie gauze folded In several thick
