for ammunition were filled it was nes probable that she would longer rely upon Germany or Austria for supplies of this kind. Furthermore. War material of all kinds, especially rifles, which had for merly been bought in Germany. were now practically in embargo, so that Roumana could not rely upon Germany for her needed supply of rifles. The government contemplated manufacturing rifles upon large scale and there is some reason for surmising that in order to obtain the necessary equipment for an arsenal where rifles are manufactured Roumania has turned to the United States. There were many other materials useful and secessary to perfect the military prepa- ration of Roumania which it was learned could at this time be obtained only il the United States.

She Does Not Want Food

The commissioners frankly said that Roumania is in no need of any food sup plies although she does possess mar ket for raw cotton. She has ample wheat, plenty to sell, or did have wheat in plenty in the fall.
 An incident was narrated by one Of the commissioners tending to show how great Roumania s wheat supplies are. Be fore the war began. Rumania had en- tered into contract with Austrian man ufactnrers for a very large supply Of ammunition, principally Of cartridges These cartridges were completed and ready for delivery about the time the
 war began. But they were withheld Roumania made constant demand for the delivery of the cartridges but the de- mand was unheeded. It looked like a secret embargo upon the export Of ann munition of this kind.
 Sometime in the early fall. while the trouble over the shipment of the car- tridges was pending. Austria bought a large amount of wheat in Roumania
 There stood at the stations the frontier over 1000 cars loaded with wheat
 Austria had paid for this wheat and
 was daily looking for it's delivery. The Roumanian authorities, however, felt jus tified in saying politely, but emphati- cally that unless Austria permitted the ammunition which Roumana had bought from Austrian manufacturers to be de- Lvered to Roumania then Roumania would decline to permit the wheat which
 was all ready for delivery, to cross the Austrian border. As one of the com missioners expressed it. the proposition was reduced to these simple terms, No cartridges no wheat" This commHnca- ton was instantly effective. The deliv- cry of the cartridges began and was completed within few days, and then Roumania sent the wheat. which Aus tra had purchased across the border. The commissioner said that there had been no publication of this incident either in Roumania or in Austria, but
 seemed to feel that there was no reason why it should not be reported aneedotally to American friends.

The First Step

, In order to be prepared for meeting payments for whatever purchases were made in the United States Roumania per- fected financial arrangement with Great Britain, probably not through this com mission or any member of 1t, tut through ether official representatives of Rouma- mia and England, whereby a sufficient credit was established in London for Rou- mania, by means of which drafts drawn in payment for munitions equipments and other commodities could be met. The commission was aware when it reached this country that the financing of Amer ican purchases. if any were made, was nnlf fnctlN cared fnr.

They Were Disappointed

When the commission began to make inquiries in the United States of those who manufactured the kind of material Russia needs it was speedily learned that our American industries were fully able to meet these demands unless single contingency interposed. But, unfortu- nately, that was precisely the contin- geney which did arise and which com pelled the Ronmanian commission to re- turn without having been-excepting in a single instance successful. Roumania wanted to have the commodities for which contracts were made delivered at a certain early date. but it was discov- cred that the American industries which manufacture these commodities are now operating to their full capacity and could not accept orders unless a remote date was fixed for the execution of the con tract
 The incident illustrates the extent of the demand made upon the American manufacturers at this time. especially for war equipment and the like. Most of these industries are now operating in fulfillment of contracts which must so be executed that the commodities can be delivered within a few months.

The sale of Holy rope, and Holy medals
goes marching on, conquering common sense
and defying the laws of Nature
If the Gypses were to 90 about cheating
the ignorant by selling them worthless pewter
trinkets which they represent as possessing
heavenly virtues, the police would run them
in.
Gypsies are not allowed to swindle the
Gentile-except in horse trade
BY the universal, unwritten law, everybody
is permitted to cheat in horse swap; and
when the Gypsies come along and swindle the
swindlers, the whole community feels re-
freshed.
Over at Sprott, Alabama, I have friend
who sends me nice little pewter gim-cracl
which a Catholic lady of Mobile bought from
the swindling priests
On one side is the Virgin, and on the
other, is the Cross the same signs that we're
stamped in stone all over the world, thous>
and years before the birth of Christ.
Those signs-the Virgin and the Cross
are being dug out of the ancient tombs Of
Etruria, the people who preceded the oldest
Romans.
Those signs were found on crumbling mar
bic, when the Europeans first came to this
New World.
Those signs are found in the most ancient
monuments of Egypt, Of Abyssinia, of Ph@-
nlcia, and of India.
What was really the origin Of the symbol Of
the cross?
The answer is, Phallic worship, which
venerated the principle Of reproduction, and
symb0lized it in the erect monolith and the
masculine cross.
AS to the Virgin mother, every honest
scholar will tell you that the most ancient
literature that has ever been discovered tells
Of the Virgin mother.
The most ancient monuments that the world
contains, represent this Virgin mother with
her child in her arms.
In sending the medal, the Mobile lady
wrote to the Sprott gentleman asking him to
put string in the little gm-c crack, and put it
around his daughters neck.
The Mobile lady insinuatingly says
"Put it on your daughters neck: 1t aoW not
hart her, [ shall say prayer for her every
day"
The method of the priest is always the
same. The first step is, to prevail on the
Protestant to wear some Catholic emblem.
ut qcW not hart y0u."
In this way, they insert the thin edge Of
the wedge, and then they follow up, by a
regular system.
We are told that the present fashionable
craze for Popery in England began with a
quiet, hattering, insinuating distribution,
among the high-born ladies, Of gold crosses,
studded with diamonds!
To each fair lady, the subtle priest whis-
pered, ut aciH not hart you."
The vain women took the splendid gold
crosses, blazing with the finest Jewels, and
wore them at public functions.
Then, in due time, the priest set to work
on his ''folow up seige.
In so years, the priests of Rome have al
most undone the Protestant work of 400
years.

Any man that will bamboozle you out of

Sometimes he sells you stock In an Invest

At any other time, he gaily places him

and he gets money from Philanthropists all
over the North, and then when he gets it, he
keeps it.

The world is full Of people who are sound

sents itself, they go crazy.
They won't use their common sense: they
SEEM to think it sin to do so.
Where did they get that idea?
Whose interest has it been to discourage
you in the use of your God-given faculties?
What right has anybody to tell you that
You must not read and think for yourself?
In worldly affairs, you have to paddle your
own canoe. Your friends can't take care of
you: they are busy taking care of them
selves
In spiritual matters, it is the same way. No
other man can work out your salvation for
yon that's matter you must attend to y0a2-

But right there is where the organized HER
archy Of the church begins to be dangerous to
individual liberty.
Religious hierarchies maintain themselves
by holding out the idea that you can't be
good. and can't be saved, unless you come into
the organization.
The Bible doesn't teach anything Of the
Sort
Christ never said word to anybody about
the necessity of joining an organized church.
My deliberate opinion is, that it would have
been vastly better for religion and for the
human race, if there never had been any more
of a religious hierarchy than there was
among the HISTORIANS, the Waldensans, and
the Baptists.
However, that's not the subject I started
out to discuss: what | meant was, to call

Roman Catholic swindles that are being

Thin People Can
Increase Weight

Thin men and women who would like
to increase their weight with 10 or 10
pounds of healthy ''stay-there' fat should
try eating little Sargol with their
meals for while and note results. Here
is a good test worth trying First weigh
yourself and measure yourself Then take
Sargol-one tablet with every meal-for
two weeks Then weigh and measure
again. 1t isn't question of how You
look feel or what your friends say
and think. The scales and the tape
measure will tell their own story and
many thin men and women we believe
easily add from five to eight pounds in
the first fourteen days by following this
simple direction. And best of all, the new
flesh stays put.
Sargol does not of itself make fat, but
mixing with your food, it aims to turn
the fats sugars and starches of what YOU
have eaten. into rich, ripe fat producing
nourishment for the tissues and blood
prepare it in an easily assimilated form
which the blood can readily accept Much
of this nourishment now passes from your
body as waste But Sargol works to stop
the waste and do it quickly and to make
the fat producing contents of the very
same meals you are eating now. develop
pounds and pounds of healthy flesh be
tween your skin and bones. Sargol is
safe. pleasant. efficient and Inexpensive.
