TRACTS CLEARED OF MALARIA
Progress Has Been Made
by Those Interested in Conquer
ing the Disease.

Malaria. to which children are sus-
eeptible. has been made largely pre-
ventable disease by a study of the
mosquito carrier, its breeding places
aad natural history, and by inocula-
don experiments on animals and man.
1t was proved by Italian observers
that the mosquito disseminates bird
malaria in the same manner as in the
human subject.
The final upshot of these investiga-
lions has been that large tracts of
hitherto waste and dangerous land
have been rendered safe and produc-
tive A widespread cause of debilitat-
ing sickness, and even of death, has
thus been removed.
In such areas the saddest sight has
been the stunted, anemic children,
with enlarged hvers and spleens, the
evidences of chronic malarial poison
ing, that can now be obviated by put

Must Have HealthfuI Sleep.

Edison, the inventor, has been
quoted as saying that little sleep is
necessary, and that the time will come
when mankind will not sleep at all,
and therefore not waste a fourth or
fifth of valuable time of the "a hours
of the day in a condition equivalent
to death At the moment, of course.
Mr. Edison was breaking into the role
of the professional humorist. All of
the thing called nature demands rest,
and the most eloquent description of
misery ever written was that in Mac
BETH when it was declared that the
murderous thane should sleep no more
that he had murdered sleep. So the
person who fails to have healShful
sleep has in one way or another muir
dered sleep.

Dandelions.

The dandelion is an efficient plant.
1t is most excellently adapted to it's
job Of keeping alive and spreading
itself over the face Of the earth. Ex-
cept in early spring its leaves are too
bitter to be eaten by man or by ami
mails They lie fat on the earth so
that grazing beasts may tread on them
without killing the plant, The roots
take strong hold. The length Of the
elastic stem which bears up the bios
som is determined by the height Of the
other vegetation in which the dande-
lion finds itself On close cropped
lawn the dandelion's stem is stubby; in
tall grass it reaches up toward the
sun Its seeds fly lightly and far on
every breeze. The dandelion will raise
a series Of seed crops extending up al
most to the first snowfall. - Detroit

ity of ammunition while at the pres
ent time we are told that there is
not enough ammunition in tie United
States navy to last a half hour in bat
tie.
This kind of preparedness would not
be militarism. 1t would not prepare
US to take part in a world-war. 1t
would not be telling other nations that
we have a big navy and good army,
and we would like to try them out
come over and give us fight. But it
would enable us to effectNally resist
sudden assault long enough for war
measures to be put into force.
Mr.. Garrison made a modest request
for the improvement Of the army.
Others nave made similar requests as
regards the navy, and they have all
been turned down ycongress. Yet tie
present congress has already made
one war, and made a mess of it.
1t is said that wise men learn by
experience of others, fools learn only
by their own. What shall we say Of
those-this nation, if you please,-Who
refused to learn by its own exper-
ience? Shall the boys of some future
years go off to war as did the boys
of 1898? Shall they go almost in
bare feet, without military equipment,
without food, without medical atten-
ton? Or shall they, when the fearful
day comes, like tine great German
hosts, every man be to his place, be
assigned to a new uniform and go
forth to war and to glory for the hon
or of the Stars and Stripes? WHAT a
sight it must have been when the
German army entered Brussels! Neu-
tral correspondents tell us that it was
like a triumphant entry Of a king.
Every man was clad as if on dress
parade. The steel of his bayonet glis-
tened in the SUM- On his feet were
boots made to stand many days
marches and at the same time made
for comfort At the side of each frey,
prancing steed there were strapped an
extra pair of horse shoes, so that per
chance if anything should happen
along the route of march, the horse
should be shod in a few minutes.
Everything bore the ensignia of the
kaiser, from gun to the field kitchen.
And, how wonderful was their equip
ment Of actual battle! You know the
story. You know the result of the
sick and wounded. Have almost all
of the German wounded and the Ger
man sick died from a result of their
wounds or of their illness, as was the
case with American boys in 1898? No.
Statistics show that Is per cent of the
German wounded recover and get back
to the firing line The German sur
gical and medical branch is one of the
main features of the great military
machine. And did it all come by
chance, or by preparedness.

who is now but a babe. But when
it does it will find me or him ready.
And in that day I expect my country

lent in military service, if my coun.
try says that it is right that 1 should.

ident. America first, so say we all.

pounces upon America? If there was
an alliance between Japan and Eng
land so strong that England could
call upon Japan to go over and take
that small Eastern possession from
Germany, when Japan had no outward
grudge against Germany, I ask you in
all calmness, cannot it be reasonably
expected that Japan can demand help
from England wien she gets ready to
try her hand at warfare with Ameri-
ca? What will those people who call
the Germans barbarians, what will you
say in that day when American made
guns are turned upon American SOL
diers by that nation which money
loving American manufacturers are
working night and day for?
Are you willing that Japan, that
England, tat Russia, that Austria,
t2at Germany or any other foreign
power shall set the heel of oppression
on this country? Are you willing to
submit to condition that would make
America do the bidding of other ma
tions-are you willing that we should
continue to be a vassal of England?
No! you cry, No! But what can I
do? l am not a soldier. l am not a
fighter. 1 am not in authority at
Washington. This is what you dan
do.
Sixty per cent of the blame for our
present policy as regards prepared
ness lies at tae feet of congress, and
the other forty per cent lies at the
feet of the people of this country who
are not awake to the present condi-
tons of things. You can tell your
congressman that this country is not
going to stand for the present pork
barrel policy You can tell him t5at
you do not know what is wrong, but
that there is something radically
wrong-and it is up to him to find out
what is the matter with the army and
the navy. You can tell him that if we
are not spending money enough for
our army and our navy, that you will
dig down in your pockets in order to
spend enough money in efficient prep
arations, and you will not scratch his
name at the next election because ma
t1onal taxes are a little high because
Of this preparedness. I believe that
the question of efficient preparedness
is going to be one of the issues of
the next national campaign, and that
the man who gets on the stump and
says that he won't vote for a bigger
army or bigger and better navy isn't
going to get to Washington.

is not military nation and can not
be made military nation. We will

ton?
We spend 1O0,0OO,0O0 year for the
maintenance of our army against
$17O, 100000 that Germany spends for
hers. And who would dare question
me when 1 say that Germany's army
is ten times s70,0G0,G00 greater than
the small army of the United States?
We spend s14O,OOO,OOO a year for
our navy. We have spent five hundred
millions more in the last fifteen years
than l,as Germany, and who would
dare question me when I say that our
navy is not as good as Germany's.
And my good people, We also spend
$300,0O0,000 year in pensions-more
than that of the combined expenditure
for our army and our navy There
are people-Dr. David Starr Jordan
for example, VINO believe in the broth
erhood of man. They tell US that our
pension money should be charge to
military expenses but I tell you that
tais s300,0G0,O0O Should be charged to
the personal accounts of the David
Starr Jordans, for the bigger part of
it is due to lack Of common sense pre-
paredness.
Some day this country is going to
fight. And when we have to fight, I
want my country to be ready! l do
not know, for am not war-prophet,
I would rather be peace-prophet.
But 1 have always agreed somewhat
with those people WHO have told US
that some day we would have to lick
Japan. And since the japanese ma
tion has shown what manner of coun-
try it is, by having taken advantage
of the present European struggle and
have pounced upon China with in
solent demands seeking, say to take
charge of that nation-to rob her of
her independence and integrity be-
dieve that if we are not ready-if we
allow our army and our navy to be
neglected for the next ten years as it
is being neglected today--some day
Japan is going to pounce upon US and
