REDUCING llliteracy.

Only fifteen out of every one thou
sand children from ten to fourteen
years of age in the United States are
unable to read and write.
These figures just announced by the
federal bureau of education show
striking decrease in child illiteracy
during the last fourteen years. In 1900
the number of illiterate children be-
tween the ages of ten and fourteen
was forty-two in every thousand. In
1910 this number was reduced to twen-
ty-two. Four years have further low
cred it more than 33 1-3 per cent.
Assuming only the latter rate of de-
crease, twenty years more may see
youthful illiteracy in this country al
most cease to exist save among newly
arrived immigrant families. Nor can
the present rate of improvement fail
to produce in the same period a
marked change in the percentage of
illiteracy in the entire population of
ten years and over-which in 1910 was
II or seventy-five illiterates for every
thousand.

BILIOUS, HEADACHY,

Gently cleanse your liver and

you sleep.
Get a 10-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness. dizzi-

breath-always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the In
testines, instead of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull. throbbing. sick
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. Adv.

UNITED STATES DEFENDS
ITS NEUTRALITY RECORD

Washington. The United States
government Sunday issued a lengthy
defense of its Interpretation of the
rights and duties of a neutral in the
European war. A document 5000
words long, prepared by President
Wilson, Secretary Bryan and Counsel
or Robert Lansing of the state depart
ment, after several days of consulta-
ton, was made public in the form OF
a letter from the secretary of state
to Senator Stone Of Missouri, chair
man of the senate committee on for
eign relations.
While the letter is a reply to an in
CURRY from Senator Stone for informa-
ton as a result of complaints made
in the press and in letters from varl-
Gus parts of the country charging the
Washington government with unfair
ness to Germany and Austria. it also
is intended as n announcement or
policy on some questions of neutrality
previously unexplained.
After answering nineteen separate
and specific charges and calling at
tention to the fact that the United
States has promptly taken to task
Great Britain, as well as Germany and
every government which in any way
has infringed upon the rights OF this
country, the letter concludes with the
following declaration on the much
discussed question of expectation OF
war munitions:
"If any American citizens, partisans
of Germany and Austro- Hungary, fee
that this administration is acting in
a way injurious to the cause OF those
countries, this feeling results from the
fact that on the high seas the Ger
man and Austro-Hungarian naval
power is thus far Inferior to the Brit
ish. 1t is the business of a belliger
ent operating on the high seas, net
the duty of neutral, to prevent con
traband from reaching an enemy.
Those in this country who sympa
tbize with the Germany and Austro
tro-Hung arian interests appear TO as
sumo that some obligations rest upon
this government in the performance
of its neutral duty to prevent all trade
in contraband and thus to equalize tbs
difference due to the relative nava
strength of the belligerents. No sue
obligation exists; il would be an u
neutral act, an act of Partially
the part of this government to a2o'
such a policy If the executive had II
power to do so.

very moment he had appointed to

was deep in Hegel.
With a passionate desire to reach
a comprehension of the truth, | Crap
pied with the system, began with the
encyclopedia, read the three volumes
Of Aesthetics the Phenomenolosy Of
the Mind then the Philosophy Of
Law again, and finally the logic, the
natural philosophy and the philosophy
Of the mind in a veritable intOXication
of comprehension and delight"
The lamentable sequel was that he
forgot all about the young girl to
whom he had to say good-by.
