ISN'T EATING CARPENTERS GLUE

In her child's health. also his home
diet; always careful he is warmly
dressed.
But what does he buy with his
pennies?
The ordinary candy store window
is the most attractive place children
of the grammar school know. That
is where the colors are brightest,
and quantity means sure sale.
But how are these wonderful col
ored candled made?
Cheap candies contain paraffin.
carpenters glue, sulphites. soap
stone. shellac, radiator lacquer and
coal tar dyes, OF which soapstone Is
the most harmless.
Mothers aften say MY girl has
lost her appetite" or nothing

think Of the impure candies and ice
cream, colored popcorn, along with
other sweets children eat away from
home?
One mother kept her own candy
store this way, in a china cabinet

She lined II with white paper, then
In pretty dishes displayed home

ties. which she knew TO be pure. As
a wise mother she knew the value
Of nuts. therefore used all kinds.
'rhe children all found this heaps
of fun. because they helped to re-
rlenish the store when the stock
ran low.

MARY PICKFORD'S ROMANCE

many who made marital overtures.
Owen Moore, now her husband, be
came smitten with the dainty new
girl" and made ardent love 10 her
in many a picture which doubtless
impressed the audience as the real
thing. IL was the real thing.
One of the secrets OF that and
later success has been the frank
sincerity In which she has accepted
either the conscious or unconscious
instruction OF others at all stages
Of her career. She has never been
too wise to learn. With this, she
possesses the faculty OF selection,
and something OF a directors abil-
ity. so there Ia no occasion for sur.
prise in the fact that her late con
tracts give her the right TO accept
Or reject plays In which she may
appear. Many an incident or bit OF
business Is the result OF her own
keen analysis OF situation. After
her engagement with the Biograph
company. Mary Pickford's next ven-
ture of great public interest was
her return to David Belasco, and
her stellar appearance In "A Good
Little Devil" which was described
by Mr.. Belasco himself, In the De
cember issue OF Photoplay Maga-
zine.

WIFE TALKED
IN HER SLEEP

MILWAUKEE. Dec. 1O.-She talk.
ed In her sleep.
Her husband heard her. and 1t
wasn't his name that she spoke.
II was the name of Joe Holmaka
star boarder. before whose arrival
there had been peace In Martin Sed-
locks family.
In those happy days Mrs. Sedloeck
did all the work for 19 boarders,
her husband and three children and
didn't rebel much, but later she
blossomed into a butterfly. She
went out nights and days. The num-
her OF boarders shrunk to eight.
Joe's bill ran up to 800. Joe got
to be man of consequence in the
house and "bawled out" Sedlocek
when the latter argued with his wife.
All that, In effect is the testimony
offered by Mr.. Sedlocek in contest
ing before Judge Ludwig the applica-
ton for divorce made by his wife.
Mrs. Sedlocek, in support of her
contention that she ought TO be free,
said her husband had tried 10 obtain
phonograph record of what she
said in her dreams. but the machine
was smothered under her pillow.
The Judge remarked tho evidence
of what was said in sleep was not
conclusive, so deferred decision.

: Secretary of State. last
ut the following signed

Bryan. former Secretary Of State. last
night gave out the following signed
statement:
Il have read the editorial opinions
| concerning the sinking of the Arabic.
as those opinions were reproduced in
Saturday mornings papers, but they
seem to me to avoid the most impor-
tant question. The real question is not
whether American citizens have, under
international law, a right to travel
through the danger zone on the ships
| of belligerent nations. That is adj
mitted. The question just now is
his convenience or even his rights
above his nations welfare. If Ameri-
can citizens refuse to consider their
own safety or the safety of the nation,
then second question arises; namely.
whether the government should permit
a few persons to drag the country into
this unparalleled war.
Our government has made its pro-
test and there is no doubt that the po-
sition taken is abundantly supported by
precedent, but that does not necessari-
ly mean that we are going to war.
Diplomacy has not yet concluded it's
work. and even if diplomatic efforts
fail, we have recourse to the treaty
plan, which must be resorted to in
case of disputes with Great Britain,
France, Italy and Russia and should be
resorted to before going to war with
any other belligerent nation. ,,, ,,o
IF the treaty plan fails, we stu nave
a choice between entering this war ana
the postponement of final settlement
until peace is restored. In the mean
time. it will be well to think OF the
thousands, or possibly the hundreds of
thousands, who would be sacrificed if
we enter this war: these brave men
are certainly entitled to consideration
as we'll as the few who by deliberately
mourning unnecessary risks bring harm
upon themselves and danger to their
country.
1T is time for the unneutral portion
of the press of the United States to
lay aside it's bias and unite in helping
the President to keep the country out
of war.
''The pro-ally papers are insisting
upon war with Germany for the benefit
of the allies, and the pro-German pa
pers are insisting upon an embargo
on arms and ammunition for the benefit
of Germany. If these two groups of
papers would join together and urge
measures to restrain American citi
zens from going into the danger zone
on belligerent ships and prohibiting
American passenger ships from carry
ing arms and ammunition-if they
would do this they would aid in pre-
venting war and in reserving for our
nation the priceless opportunity to act
as peacemaker when the time for peace
arrives

Unarmed Arabic Sunk With
No Warning, England Says

LONDON. August 90. 1870 p.m.-Sup-
plementing official information given
out previously concerning the sinking
of the Arabic. the British admiralty
today made the following announce
ment:
THE Arabic was an unarmed pas
senger ship, outward bound to neu-
trail port 1t was thus impossible for
her to have been carrying contraoand
to this country.
she was sunk by a German subma-
rine without warning and she neither
attempted to attack the submarine nor
to escape from it"
The admiralty today authorized de-
NAL of the report that the steamer
Dunsley, torpedoed shortly before the
Arabic was sunk. was an armed patrol.
The admiralty states the Dunsley was
a peaceful and unarmed trader.
survivors of the Dunsley stated yes
terday that she was torpedoed just be-
fore the Arabic was sunk and that
the German submarine hid behind the
Dunsley to lie in wait for the Arabic

HID BEHIND T0RPEDOED SHIP.
Submarine Sank Arabic From Con-
cealment, Say DunsleY Passengers.

LIVERPOOL. August 20. Ais pm
According to survivors of the steamer
Dunsley, torpedoed by a German sub
marine just before the White Star
liner Arabic was sunk, the underwater
craft hid behind the Dunsley's unsunk
hulk to lie in wait for the larger ves-
sci. The survivors declare they had
been ordered off their ship and were in
lifeboats when the submarine con-
cealed herself from the approaching
Arabic.
1t is stated that when the liner came
close enough to make an attack pos
sible the submarine submerged. went
around the Dunsley's stern and
launched the fatal torpedo. Survivors
say that the German boat, which came
up alongside the Dunsley, bore no num-
Der.
No previous definite statement as to
the fate of the Dunsley has come
through from London. 1t was an
nounced that she had been torpedoed,
but it had not been known whether
she succeeded in reaching port with
her passengers.

Ambassador Gerard Asked
if Germany Has Received
Official Report on Arabic

Secretary Lansing today cabled Am
hassador Gerard. at Berlin, asking if
the German government has received
official report on the sinking of the
White Star liner Arabic. The amba ssa-
dor was not instructed to ask for
report, however.
II was officially stated today that the
United States government is not yet
sure of all the facts. and considers its
Information very fragmentary- Some
dispatches on the subject were received
at the State Department this morning,
but they We're not made public, because,
IL was understood, they brought only
fragmentary information, and the de-
partment is reluctant to have infer
cnces drawn from incomplete state
rlents The source of the dispatches
WAS not revealed.
Secretary Lansing said the situation
was exactly il stood saturday: that
no steps had been taken other than to
get accurate information as to what
had taken place.
From the fact that Ambassador
Gerard was not directed to seek an eX-
PLANTATION. the inference was drawn
that the State Department has decided
to lie: the German government initiate
any explanation it may have to offer.
Ambassador Page at London had sent
by mail some aff:davits and other data,
bug ma; not been instructed to cable
synopsis of the material.
In the view of the State Department.
no points have been established beyond
doubt regarding the important Ques-
tions of convoy, the change of course
of the Arabic just before the torpedo
struck and other essentials. All the
irforn:a zion received, aside from the
newspaper reports, which reflect CEN
sorship, is embodied in one brief aft
davi; by an American, Zellah Coving-
ton. The department regards it
sential that this shall be corroborated
ana supplemented.
The department accounts for the ap-
parent delay in securing affidavits by
the fact that the Arabic survivors left
Queenstown almost Immediately upon
landing. The American embassy will
be expected % find survivors and Sc

Task Made Easier.

The Chronicle also comments at length
on the sinking of the Arabic. The news
paper says it can see no sofrening fea-
ture in the story, and that it realizes
that President Wilson's task has not
been made easier by the established fact
that American citizens were drowned.
THE messages from America do not
anticipate that the United States will
make war the newspaper says, "but
We may be permitted to doubt whether
anything short of war will compel any
respect from Germany.
American intervention on the side of
the allies would be a very serious factor
not, perhaps, from the purely military
point of view. but from that of finance
and supply. 1t might considerably hasten
the final end But the mere rupture of
diplomatic relations, unless accompanied
by substantial support to Germany's op-
ponents would cause no very tangible in
convenience to the offending nations, and
is not the kind of argument TO which it
has hitherto shown the least inclination
to defer
