general provisions Of the Carey Goth

BUSINESS REASON.

An old colored man, charged
with stealing chickens was ar.
raigned in court and was incrim-
mating himself when the Judge
said:
You ought to have a lawyer,
where's your lawyer9"
"Ah amt got no lawyer,
jedge.''
Every well then," I'll assign
a lawyer to defend you."
"Oh. no sub! no sub! Please
don't do that!" the darkey
begged.
Why not9" asked the Judge.
1T won't cost you anything,
Why don't you want lawyer?"

Lime Treatment
in Tuberculosis

In the May 25, 1912, issue of the
journal of the American Medical As
sOcaatiOn appeared this statement
concerning calcium Uime) medical
zion in the treatment Of pulmonary
tuberculosis (cOnsumptiOnD:
"Under the Systematic, continued
ana persistent regime Of calcium
assimilation, Van GiesOn has seen a
number of his patients improve, un-
derEo an emulation or partial con-
soildat ton In the lung. which then re-
SOWING would appear to contribute
10 the wallIng Off and closing of the
LESSONS. Hand in hand with this
course Of events. the sputum clears
up of tubercle baciIli, which finally
disappear. and the patients are dis
berculOsis."
Ethical medical journals seldom
speak so positively about a remedial
agent. yet this testimony comedies
with that from many consumptives
who have secured like results
through the use of Eckman's Altera-
tive.
Since calcium is a constituent of
this remedy for pulmonary tubercu-
losis and allied throat and bronchial
affections, its healing power may in
some measure be attributed to the
manner in which this element is so
combined with other ingredients as
to be easily assimilated by the aver
age person and it does not irritate
the stomach.
Eckman's Alternative contains no
oplateS, narcotics or habit forming
drugs, so it is safe to try. If your
druggist is out of it, ask him to

CULTIVATING F00LIsHNEss

Some people are born fools anC
some cultivate the honor. Now
comes Canadian Solicitor Gene
raj Meighen, declaring that the
United States cares more for par.

justice and the cause of human

United States is nagging and
hampering British efforts for civ
ilization. We guess. this is what

reopelled the old Balkan quarreI
and thereby made the polite al sit
uation in eastern Europe more
complicated than ever. The AL
lies III their attempt to open the
way by sea to Russia will tn
doubtedly meet with tenacious
resistance on the part Of the
Turks. On the sea the German
submarine boats have achieved
great distinction. Since the 18th
of February they have been the
terror of the North Sea, the Chan
mel and, iii fact, the whole of the
waters surrounding England.
English merchantmen lie, with
few exceptions, idly in their
docks, those leaving for the high
sea expecting to be sent TO the
bottom by the German subma-
rines. About $50 merchantmen
have already been sunk by the I'M
dersea boats. Whether the Ger
mans will ever be able to invade
England is to be decided in the
course Of the spring, but they
have a firm intention Of doing so.
The economical and financial
problems in Germany and Austria
will not in any way interfere with
the war to the extent Of inducing
those countries to ask for peace.
Georges Clemenceau has written
sensibly on this question, Urging
his countrymen, the French, not
to place their hopes of success in
this direction and declaring that
for many reasons, but particularly
in consequence Of the unquestion-
able moral force of the German
people, it seems absolutely GER
tain that Germany will overc ONE

As for the second war loan, it's
success is certain.
Neither officially nor semi-offi-

which the whole world is longing.
