WHO HAS KEPT US OUT OF The WAR?
(From the Santa Barbara Press.)

(From the Santa Barbara Press.)
President Wilson has credit for having
kept US out of war;" Will someone
please tell what Mr.. Wilson might have
done, more than he has done, toward in
volving US in war? What reason could
ne have for declaring war on any foreign
power? What reason has any foreign
power for declaring war on US? Has any
such threat been extended toward the
United States, and, if so, by whom?
European countries have trouble enough
at home. Moreover, Congress has some
thing to say about declaring war.
If Holland, and Sweden, and Norway,
and Denmark, and Switzerland, and
Spain, in close proxi nifty TO the zone of
hostilities, have kept out of war, why
should not the United States, thousands
OF miles distant from the vortex, keep
out of war? Or has President Wilson
likewise kept Spain, and Switzerland,
and Denmark, and Norway, and Sweden,
and Holland out of war?
Now, what has President Wilon done
toward keeping us out of war?
He has tabled and Ignored Japan's re-
quest for settlement of the California
land question. The fire still smolders; an
aggravating smudge.
He has purposelessly invaded Ne xico
on three different occasions, and is no
nearer the end of the road.
He has sent armed forces into the
West Indies, and threatens intervention
In the little island republics.
He has sent ultimatums to Germany.
intending to leave but one course open;
but he has been outgeneraled, diplomat
ically, by Berhn's foreign office
There is just one reason why we are at
peace with Germany. and that is because
Germany does not want war, at this
time, with the United States. Mr.. Will
son threw down the gauntlet Kaiser
William would not pick it up.
Cool and candid analysis of the facts
proves that we are out OF war not be-
cause of the President but in spite of
him.

AMERICAN CAPITAL IN CANADA

The Great European war has cut Can
ada off from the million dollars day
she was borrowing for development pur-
poses from British capital. This capital
is as necessary for her development as
British capital was necessary for the
development of the American West after
the Civil War. Canada is TODAY obtain
ing her national, provincial ana municipal
loans in the United States; and it NAV
be expected as result of the war that
all Canada's borrowings will be effected
In the United States for the next fiftv
years. Not one armed fort exists be-
tween the two countries for border of
5000 miles. Henceforth, that border will
be crss-crossed by an Interviewing of
gold strands.
before the war, American capital
owned three-quarters of Canada stand
ing climber, thirds of her coal mines
more than half her grain elevators and
by direct or indirect control. an enor
nous proportion of the working mines.
These holdings have been increased since
the outbreak of the war; many English
holders have had to let go or their in
vestments at a sacrifice.
Canada Is the only part of North
America with great untouched reser-
Volr OF natural resources. She will be
one of the few countries still having free
land.
Capital Is as secure in Canada as in
the United States. Capital is guaran-
teed protection and security as it is not
say, IN Mexico. This means that Ameri-
IN fol
pour into Canada after the war.
Canada lacks a winter port on the At
lantlc; and this year has sent 80 per
cent IT her vast exports out by way of
American ports. Canada is now raising
half as much spring wheat as the United
states. Within few years, she will be
raising as much, and half her crop must
60 to market by way of the Pacific coast.
When that day comes, Canada will be
one OF the largest users of the Panama
Canal. World Outlook.

For Poor Appetite and
Weak Digestion

The man who can't eat doesn't feel
much like working, and the man with
a. weak stomach doesn't get much
pleasure out of eating. Your stomach
is very important to your health, work
and happiness. Don't abuse it, don't
neglect it, and when, for one cause or
another, your digestion goes wrong,
and you lose appetite, be kind to
your stomach. All it needs is little
rest, and few days doctoring with
L. F." Atwood's Medicine. Very
soon you will see the improvement in
your appetite, and with the relish for
TODD, comes the strength to digest it.
FOR this old family remedy helps the
stomach, bowels and liver, and re-
news good appetite and sound diges-
ton.
buy a 35c bottle at your nearest store,
or write to-day for free sample.

His Sixteen Years.
Suffering Nou Ended

Il can say with the greatest of
pleasure that Foley Kidney Pills were
the only thing that gave me relief
in sixteen years."
Mr.. G. w. Henderson Of Dingle,
Miss, says more than that, too. He
suffered with cystitis inflammation
OF the BLADDER. 1t went on until he
reached the point where he had dizzy,
weak spells, and sometimes he would
almost faint with pain. OF course,
he doctored, went off to the mineral
springs and drank waters of different
kinds, which altogether cost him a
large sum of money. Still no per-
manent relief. Now comes a friend
who recommends Foley Kidney Pills,
and after using half dozen bottles,
his pains are all gone, he sleeps
soundly all night.
When kidney and bladder trouble
comes on you and you suffer the pains
and aches it causes, have irregular,
painful secretions and a burning SEN
sation, take Foley's Kidney Pills at
once and you will echo Mr.. Hender-
sons sentiments.
