w eioillilE LtL The discussion of the United States hote to Germany by senator's and others prominent politically generally agree that President Wilson struck {. h2ppy chord in his phrasiuC, that he left nothing unsaid, that he left his note clear and free of cumbersome verbosity. Some of the opinions fol. low:
 Members of the congressional party touring the Hawaiian Islands con- mented on President Wilson's note to 1 Germany as fellows: Senator James, Kentucky: "The president speaks for all civilization and voices the sentiment of all Ieu- tTal peoples. We Will back up the presidents note. It is statesmanlike and patriotic"
 Senator Cummins, Iowa: "I like the tone of the presidents note We should make an emphatic protest against such indescribable violation of intern ational rules"
 Senator Salisbury, Delaware: q an satisfied that President Wilson VIII provide the protection due Ameri- can citizens on the high seas and ac- romplish the reparation demanded without war
 Senator Oyerman, North Carolina: "i believe the note timely and the more emphatically it is supported the better 1t will be- If anyone can steer ne al rh ;-y1 uation I believe it is President Wi son."
 We can we'll afford to wave party dh1e. ences and survey the situation with ccimness and deliberation," said United States Senator William Alden Smith, member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, at his home at G,anl Rapids Mich. If trouble should r.. result. which do not anticipate, ev. every patriotic citizen will sustain the course of the United States gov crnmert."
 Senator Atlec Pomerene of Onto. d member of the Foreign Relations Committee. termed the note the right word at the right time"
 United States Senator Gilbert M Hitchcock of Nebraska said "per. sonally. I should not be vii, rg to 9 te war for the pu; pose of securing to American citizens the righ. to travel ir the war z,re on an En+llch ship loaded with arms and amnrrition.
 Senator Works of California said that unless ths people are ready tc so to war with Germany. the protest would prove an idle thing" arG things would "go on about as they are''
 Tt would bo much peter for us to stop sending r.unitions of war to the helligerents," he said.
 Congressman Gardner of Massaclu. setts said:
 ''I call the presidents note resolure and vigorous. l do not see how he could have made it stronger without deliberately offering provocatiop to Germany. At the same tine I clear iy recognize the fact that an irrev. ocable step of awful solermity mas been taken. AS an American, take pride ir that step and in the hammer in which it has been taken"
 That the German government 'wll have tfe wisdom and humanity 10 ac- cept the souul and temperate occ. trine laid down by the government of the United States" is the belief ex pressed by United States Senator Robert T.. owen of Oklahoma wno d., clared that resident Wilson's note will have the approval of all practi. cal men,"

Nature Versus Microbes.

The thoughtful reader will say, "Sure-
ly, in the battle of man against micrObe
there must be some natural means of de-
fence by which men have conquered in
the past, long before the microscope was
invented" He is right; and science is
never better employed than in studying
these natural defences. For example,
we find TO microbes al all in air just at
ter il passes through the healthy nose.
The nose is the original domestic filter"
for all microbes in dust in the air. / :
secretions are an'iseptic also, and man
has no mere valuable OutwOrk Of defence
than a normal nose. A choked nose,
through which person cannot breathe,
means that microbes enter the lungs
freely by way of the fiterless mouth.
In the stomach we find free hydro
chloric acid, produced some half hour or
less after meal. Its production from
the common salt or sodium chloride of
the blood by the living cells that line
the stomach is one of the wholly mimi
table fea;s of the body. Until recently
most of US thought that hydrochloric
acid was formed in the stomach solely in
order TO digest food; but now We have
evidence TO show that this hydrochloric
acid is also valuable antiseptic, work
ing, for once, inside the body without
hurting it, aud probably often saving us
from the microbes of consumption and
typhoid fever. Thus the two great
avenues of entry to the body are in a
large degree guarded. 1t may be added
that no known microbe can unaided
penetrate the surface of the unbroken
and healthy skin.-Dr. c. w. Ssleeby,
in The Youths Companion.

DO into Better Business.

In states where prohibition goes into
effect January l, 1916, liquor dealers are
getting ready TO engage in other lines of
business. The owners of the largest
brewery in the state of Colorado are
building a pottery plant from which
they expect to make more money than
they ever did from the brewery. They
are also experimenting with matted milk
manufacture Neef Bros. of Denver will
make "malt BREW" a new temperance
drink guaranteed To contain no alcohol,
The large brewery at Bellingham, Wash
iugton, will be transformed into a cold
storage and creamery plant. The secre-
tary of the Beer Drivers local union in
Spokane goes into the hotel business,
and the secretary of the local Bottlers'
Union has bought confectionery. The
Idaho Falls Brewing Company will con-
vert its buildings into cold storage and
ice manufacturing plant and at Nampa
the same crew of laborers are now en-
ployed in making food instead Of beer.
These are few of the many instances OF
advantages prohibition will bring to the
liquor men themselves. In changing
their business the manufacturers and
sellers of liquor will find abundant
s'com pensatiOn," financially and socially.
