The Peculiar Man.
This is a true story.

HE is very peculiar man." Ad-
mitted. Popularity consists of not
being like everybody else. For exam
pie, if nobody had nose and man
came along who had one he would
be considered a freak. If everybody
was alike in ability and temperament
they all would want to do, and be
fitted to do, exactly the same thing.
Under that condition society would
not move forward, for there would
be no independent struggles of indi-
viduals and no special achievements.
Some persons are naturally smart
and know everything, or think they
do, and know better than others who
have had tremendously more expert
ence in special lines. Such persons
are bores as a rule, for what appears
as clear as mud to them looks ridicu-
lous to those who really know. No
use to try and tell the know-all any
thing-he really knows and is sure
not to let you get away without find
| ing that out. Let him alone and he
will muss up the platter more in five
minutes than any hungry dog could
in a week. OF course he should be
muzzled in the interest of forward
movements, and society in general as
we'll, but try it and he will resent ii
like Spartan gladiator, and, if he
has the power, he will try to crush
you-he may try it anyhow. He will
likely fail, for he acts upon what he
thinks he knows instead of what ex-
perience has taught him is really
true. The know-all is a peculiar per-
son, although growing unusually
numerous in some sections.
Then, there are other peculiar per.
sons. They have learned from ex.
perience and know they know. Sucf
men are not easily swerved from {
fixed purpose and have more conf
dence in their own judgment than IL
that of others whose every move anC
word depict that they do not know
AS a rule they do not claim to know
more about the other persons bust
! ness than he does, but they simpl!
know what they are about and pursue
, it in full confidence that the schoo
: of experience through which the!
| have passed impaired knowledg'

D wary enough to believe what other
say without question and often follow

! powers, knowing what he knows an'

CONSUMPTION TAKES
$50 PEOPLE DAILY

Over $50 people succumb to con-
sumption every day in the United States.
Science proves that the germs only
thrive when the system is weakened from
colds or sickness, overwork, con6ning
duties or when general weakness exists.
The best physicians point out that
during changing seasons the blood should
be made rich and pure and active by tax
ing Scott's Emulsion after meals. The cod
liver oil in Scott's Emulsion warns the
body by enriching the blood; it peculiarly
strengthens the lungs and throat, while it
upbuilds the resistive forces of the body
to avoid colds and prevent consumption.
If you work indoors, tire easily, feel
languid or nervous, Scott s Emulsion is the
most strengthening food-medicine known.

der, and have arrested her on a
charge of attempted bribery. These
are the allegations. Whether she is
guilty or what is the extent of Alex
ander's guilt or innocence we cannot
say. Those matters are for the court
and juries to decide. But the opera
tions of the law are a proper subject
for comment.
Under the Mann act a man who
ships a woman across the lines of
it interstate COM
merce'-for immoral purposes, is
guilty of felony. The law assumes
that the man is always the strong
and dominant partner in such case,
and the woman the victim. And yet,
every man and every woman knows
that women of powerful personalities
and unscrupulous morals in great
numbers have adopted the capture
and domination of men, especially
men of money, as a trade.
THE man of 60 is quite as likely
to be the transported party as the
woman of 80. And the Mann act
puts the government back of the ad-
ventures in such cases as an active
accomplice. 1t functions as pro-
tective tariff on blackmail. 1t fos-
ters and cherishes the industry. 1t
gives the brilliant brunette beauty
to quote a newspaper account of
one of those cases-the greatest op-
portunity ever known to reap a for
tune by the sale of her charms; for
to the old sordid consideration it adds
the active aid of the government in
making a felon of the person who in
such cases is often only equally guilty
with his partner, and sometimes not
equally guilty.
This law promotes prostitution,
rather than ~suppresses it; for it Of
fers to the woman who has a natural
aptitude for the life of an adventur-
ess a temptation which in the absence
of the terrors of the criminal law to
aid her she might resist.
Before this law was passed the
woman trembling on the verge of
choosing a criminal life of this sort
was tempted only by the old prizes to
be obtained by preying on immoral
and weak-minded men; but now she
has held up before her eyes by the
Mann act the prospect of profits al
most certain and possibly enormously
large if she can induce a man to put
himself in such a position that he is
even threatened with prosecution.
Her victim not only sees him.

up, but feels the terror of ending his
life as a convict. He will not otter

against him.
THE shipment of women eithel

acknowledged and It is on these facts
and principles that The Sins of the
Mothers" is founded.
The photoplay is not preachment,
rather is it an argument for the elm
nation OF the tendency to gamble.
Perhaps not for actual money at first,
but for prizes, etc. The bridge par
ties of modern society are often re-
sponsible for developing a passion
for gambling which has been dormant
for a long time and might never have
been aroused otherwise.

 9. Enroll within three years and give some preliminary training at least to 500,000 mobile troops.
 B. Provide within six years for an additional force of 50O,000 reserves for the troops with the colors.
 4. Furnish the most attractive form of voluntary military service it is possible to devise, thereby serving as g. final and conclusive test of the possibility of organizing in peace times an adequate volunteer army system.
 5. Furnish a system to which uni- versal military service could be ap piled quickly and without the neces- sity of extensive reorganization.
 6. Furnish a regular mobile army sufficient to cooperate in the train ing of continentals and also to carry on the necessary peace activities.
 2. Furnish through cadet com panies attached to regular regiments an adeuuate and certain school for regular continental and reserve off, cers.
 8. Furnish, beginning at once, a system under which an adequate en- listed reserve for the regular army would be built up and maintained. g. Begin at once, to be concluded in four years, the expenditure of $S1.- O00,O00 on extension and improvement of coast defenses, making them fal ! superior to those which any other nation has ever contemplated. 10. Furnish an adequate trained force to man all coast defenses, now 1 lacking nearly fifty per cent. of the l necessary personnel.

which commercial munition plants can be fostered by the government in peace times insuring an adequate and continuous supply of guns and shells in times of war.
 The vital thing, it is contended, is to obtain the names of 100000 men who are obliged to come to the colors at call, to supply them with necessary arms, equipment, organization and mobilization instructions, and to give them rudimentary military training at least, probably month a year for each of three years being all that could be hoped for. If this were ac- complished, experts say, and if offl- cers and non-commissioned officers for the force were found and assigned. a great stride would have been taken, short cut to the formation of volunteer army in time of need that would have months of delay if it ac- comp1ished nothing more.

LUSITANLA CASE UP
 AGAIN NEXT WEEK
Germany to Send New Proposals
 for Settlement Next Week

Washington, Dec. 30.-New pro- posals from Germany for a settle ment of the Lusitania controversy, which the Berlin foreign office hopes will be acceptable to the United States are expected to be presented to the state department next week. The ne- gotiations between Secretary Lansing and Count Won Bernstorff. the Ger man ambassador, recently progressed to a point where a settlement was expected at Christmas. Today it was said that the German proposal re- sulting from these conversations probably would arrive soon after New
 Years day.
 Information received here indicates that the Berlin foreign office is anx- ious to end the controversy in spite of adverse public opinion said to have been aroused by the American re- quest for withdrawal of the German naval and military attaches and the demands upon Austria-Hungary as a 1 result of the sinking of the Ancona. Status Closely Guarded.
 The present status of the negotia- tions is very closely guarded. The United States has contended all along 1 for disavowal of the sinking of the | 1 American lives lost. A proposal by 1 Germany to arbitrate the question of ] indemnity was rejected. It has since l been suggested that Germany might make reparation with the understand ing that it would involve no admis- sion of wrongdoing. It is understood 1 that no agreement will satisfy the United States unless it contains some- l thing in the nature of a disavowal, l but Germany contends that her in-
 structions to submarine commanders to discontinue such attacks as that on the Lusitania, is the most effective
 disavowal that could be given =, Bearing on Dispute With Austria.
 It is regarded here as especially
 significant that settlement of the
 Lusitania case should become immi- nent at a time when Teutonic diplo- matic circles are represented as beina - prepared for diplomatic break be-
