Of one mind against large standing
army. Foes from without they had
met and vanquished, they had no dread
of invasion; but they had learned the
lesson of all history that the spirit OF
liberty, equality, and free government
could not live in the military atmos-
phere. Before we reverse this policy
of antimilitarism, under which We
have builded 80 wisely and so wonder
fully, let the people be shown the
danger from without which is to be
met by taking to our bosom the in
ternal danger of an overgrown mill
tary and naval establishment.
Those who seek to brighten this
nation into military and naval ex-
travagance have been driven to the
absurd and unpatriotic task of belit-
Ting the volunteer soldier upon whom
we have always relied for the defense
Of our country in time Of war, and
discrediting the American navy, which
in gallantry and efficiency is the great
est in the world, and which in point of
defensive strength is second only to
that of England. In order to bully
and stampede the people into the ex-
penditure of vast treasure, they have
pictured our country as being hope
lessly and helplessly unprepared to
meet an enemy.
Mr.. Chairman, I shall not take up
the time Of congress in defense of the
volunteer soldier. His place in his
tory is secure No war for liberty
was ever won without him AS citi-
zen home builder he erects the state
in times of peace, and as the citizen
soldier he protects the state in times
of war.
Those who seek to build up a large
military establishment in times of
peace constantly. din it in our ears
that the great victories of the world
have been won by regular soldiers,

Sidelights on the European War

Berlin.-(Correspondence Of The
Associated Press. almost since the
beginning of the war between Austria
and Italy, every paper in Austria,
Hungary, and Germany has daily
made as much fun as possible Of the
reports of the Italian chief, General
Cadorna. His so-called weather re-
ports" have become the target for
every cartoonist in the central en-
pires, who has portrayed him so often
under an umbrella that the joke has
been worn threadbare. "Cadorna Re-
ports Snow" Its Raining Down
Cadorna's Way" "Cadorna Reports
Bad Weather" and half dozen other
headings of similar nature seem to
be kept standing in type in most
newspaper Offices.
Now, however, the Berliner Tage-
blatt declares seriously that the ter
ritory in which Cadorna's armies are
operating is the most "weather-visit-
ed' in all Europe, and that it about
holds the record for rain if not snow
falls. The Tageblatt bases its state
ments on the results of meteorological
Investigations in the neighborhood Of
the Bay Of Cattaro.
With the exception of the hills
which overhang bay, according TO
the Investigations, the whole Knives
tito district up to the Dobrestica-
Radostar and DUganja heights are
deeply covered with snow in winter
time SO that troops, in order to move
in any direction, have to shovel away
great quantities Of snow daily.
According to the Central Hydro.
graphic Bureau in Vienna, there is ar
annual average precipitation of 1906
inches IN Orkovice, 1926 feet above sea
/ level,
The unusual amount of rain is ex-
planned by the consistent southerly
winds, which ball" the clouds to-
gether. In % years there has been
an average Of 1899 rainy or snowy
days. Daily precipitation of from 7.E
to III inches is by no means rare.
The Tageblatt, after presenting the
figures, laughingly apologies for ex'
| cusing Cadornas weather reports,
concluding with the words, the sta
tistics for 1914-1915 are missing bu,
they undoubtedly justify Cadorna's
complaints about the weather. Only
the wet weather seems to damage

During the past six weeks, in wealth
er shat varied from 60 degrees above
to degrees below zero and with the
roads almost impossible, Mrs. Endris
jumped into her husbands delivery
cart and made the tour of his 81 mile
route each day, he being confined to his
home of illness. The official most
office reports also show that there was
not a complaint offered by patrons of

service. Mrs. Endris is one of those
practical, everyday sort of women, She
is not only a model housewife and an
expert cook, but she can hang wall
paper and do residence decorations
that would put many al. expert to the

brush, is a gardener that has no su-
perior, and Mr.. Endris does not have
to look after the stock and chickens
when she is at home. unless he wish

qualifications. Mrs. Endris is given to
social and club work and is easily one

Are they anything like thread worms
or seat worms in appearance?

Experience Sets Us Right
Your remedy for poison ivy in the
Health Talk of Jan. 20 was all wrong,
as Goldberg says. Ivy poisoning is
not skin disease, as you assume, but
trouble is caused by a penetrating oil
thrown out by the plant. The best
remedy is simply a thick lather made
Of common kitchen soap.
Answer-If it isn't a skin disease,
maybe it is mental ALTERATION. The
irritating principle is really an acid,
and your lather is all right, though we
must still stick to our formula:
Phenol (carbolic acid one dram,
glycerin half an ounce, lime water

fingers.
Cream of Tartar.
Please let me know if it is all right
to take half a teaspoonful cream of
tartar every morning in cup of hot
water? | have no kidney trouble, but
am informed it Pushes the kidneys
and helps to eliminate poisons from
the system.
Answer-ft is all right. Cream of
tartar is one of our best diuretics-

the flow of urine.
