WHAT WAR WOULD MEAN.
Dubuque Times-Journal.)


Referring to the part the United
States will be expected to take in the
European conflict if war comes with
Germany the Chicago Tribune makes
this striking comment:
1t were better that the American ma
ton were twenty fathoms under water
than that it should seek to make war
by writing checks to impose its moral
indignation upon a nation which it
believes has offended not only it but
all humanity.
With the French losing tens of
thousands at Verdun, the American
nation cannot with spiritual safety
make war with check books. 1t is not
our material which must be furnished; ;
it is our men. We cannot allow Cana
da to furnish men while we furnish
beef carcasses and shell cases.
American manhood could survive a
policy which preserved peace, but it
cannot survive policy which brings
war and does not make it. We cannot
indulge yicariously the emotions Of
moral indignation. National stamina
will not survive such prostitution.
If the United States goes to war it
must go to war. 1t must, for its ma
terial security and it's spiritual saliva
ton, give itself, it's men as well as it's
money. 1t is a greater nation than
Great Britain or France. 1t is great

STANDING BY HIS COUNTRY.

America has done so much for
me that / owe it everything, and
/ could not do less than stand by
my country; and l mean to stand
by it at all hazards, in time of
war or peace.-Letter from Sen
ator Knute Nelson.
"a noble tribute to his adopted
country by one of its most distinguish
ed citizensl A true spirit of the Vik-
ing mingled with the true spirit OF
America to enrich and preserve it.
Does any other foreign-bOrn citi-
zen owe the country less than Sena-
tor Nelson? Has the German, the
Swede, the Jew or the Russian been
lowered less richly? They left lands
of restricted rights to receive the har-
Dor welcome of a republic. There the
fruit of their labor was poverty S
wage; here homes of comfort and con-
tentment of mind. There it was the
task to pay rent; here the privilege
to pay taxes. There a liberal educa-
ton for those able to pay for it; here
the roads to all knowledge open and

the rainbow of promise.
Every alien-born has the same OPP
pOrtunity in this country that Sena-
tor Nelson had, and owes the same al
Iegiance. To be sure, not every citi-
zen of foreign birth may become a
United States senator. To be sure
not every man is fitted for it. But
that is beside the question. With Sen
ator Nelson, it is his country first and
always, and the least he can do it to
give his best service, his loyalty and
his love. He will stand by it at all
hazards in time of war or peace"
There would be no talk of hyphens,
if all American citizens from over
seas were willing to give such service
and show such loyalty.

BIG LITTLE DAIRY COUNTRY.
CMaII Street Journal. }

(Wall Street JOurnaL)
Denmark holds the worlds record
for intensive farming. After Germany
had taken Schleswig-HoIstein, Dan
ish experts figured that their develop
ment must come from within and
they proceeded to develop the arid
wastes of JutIand which have now
become tremendous producers of ag-
ricultural and dairy products. The
Danes claim that they have solved
most of Europes intensive farming
problems and that much of German
efficiency in this direction has been
learned from them.
The little Kingdom is one of the
greatest dairy producers of the world
and its butter is exported to every
part of the earth. 1t is found in Mex
leo, and even in the far off islands
of the AntipOdes as we'll as in Pata-
gonia. It's reputation in Europe, par
ticularIy in England, is uneXcelled and
vast quantities have been shipped for
years to all the countries of Europe.
American business men have al
ways admitted the wonderful cow
feeding methods employed by the DAN
ish farmers who tether their cattle
in rows in such a way that they can
eat but a certain section of grass
in a day The next day they are NOV
ed forward in the meadows and it is
worked out on such a minute basis
that by the time the COWS have reach
ed the end of the pasture the grass
is again ready for grazing at the be-
ginning.

Inventions Of the past, the present

along experimental lines. yesterday.

KIDNEYS
! ACTIVE With A
} GLASS OF SALTS
Must flush your Kidneys OCCASION
ally if you eat meat
regularly.
Noted authority tells what causes
Backache and Bladder
weakness.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which clogs up the
kidney pores so they sluggishly filter
or strain only part of the waste and
poisons from the blood, then you get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
ache, liver trouble, nervousness, con-
stipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts, or
if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular Of passage or
attended by sensation of scalding,
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
\ from any reliable pharmacy and take
tablespoonful in glass OF water be-
fore breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
OF grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for gen
erations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure. thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.-Adv.

WE SHOULD Be OUR
BROTHERS KEEPER
Too Often Men Shrug Their
Shoulders and Pass by on
Other Side of Fallen.
CHANGE IN LAST TEN YEARS

Rev. C. Franklin Koch. associate
pastor of Kountze Memorial Lutheran
church, preached Sunday on the
mending of broken lives and human
souls.
TOO often" he said, "men are in
clined to shrug their shoulders, draw
their garments close about them and
pass by on the other side when a
brother has fallen by the wayside.
That is grievous wrong.
For we should help the fallen and
never despair of them. The Master
commanded it. We should extend the
helping hand as often as they fall. And
we should do it gladly. Nor should
we do it In q spirit OF patronage or a
holier-than-thou attitude. We should
do it because we really feel that they
are our brothers and that we are all
subject to the same frailties and need
one another's help.
There has been great change
even in the worldly attitude toward
the fallen in the last ten years. For
merly man who had been a convict
was an outcast from society. He was
Stunned as though he had the leprosy.
To-day it is different. The Ford
Motor company, the Standard Oil
company, four great railroad systems
and other big employers take men
who come out of prison and give them
chance. There are societies organ
lied especially to extend the helping
hand to the $4,000 men who are re.
leased from our penitentiaries and
prisons annually. A decade ago 70
per cent Of men released soon COM
mitted crimes which brought them
again to prison. In 1910, 40 per cent
OF ex-convicts were convicted again
and last year this percentage had fall
en- to rs. So it actually pays to be
the keepers Of our brothers.
"The welfare OF the soul is more
important even than that OF the body,
And we should always be on the look
out to help up the brother whose soul
has fallen into the prison Of sin. The
problem OF today Is not so much to
get men into the church as to keep
them in the church and to keep them

kingdom"
