FURRED TONGUE NO PROOF
Why Il Is Supposed to Indicate Dises.
tive Disturbance Never Has
Been Explained.

Just why furred tongue is sup
posed to be an indication of dis
turbance of the digestive apparatus
has never been explained. The Medi-
cal Record calls to mind "the respected
land feared) spinster in our commu-
nifty good many years ago who had
her own opinion about doctors. Urged
to consult one Of their fraternity
when little indisposed. she would re-
pei the suggestion with scorn. All
they do, she would say. Is to say.
Lets see your tongue. How's your
bowels? Two dollars. please"
The editor says he has known physi-
clans of the old school who could d.
agnose a case by looking at the
tongue, Just as he has known a physi-
clan who could diagnose" case
of pneumonia in Q child he had never
seen before when he got ten feet away
from the bed. And what is more, he
could tell which side 1t was on and
even designate the lobe affected in

OF course this Is sarcasm. The edi-
tor is ridiculing the furred tongue as

apparatus.

is the motto of the president of the

But before submitting to the chance
and misery of war. true statesman
that he IL, he proposes to put the rea-
son and Justice Of negotiation to the
test.
But, say our critics, this policy sat
isles no one.

tried course for this nation to pursue,
Gilpin observer., 1916-06-15

but they forget 1t does satisfy those
who believe the United States should
live up to the principles 1t has pro-
fessed for century and more.
National Honor.
In desperation for slogan our op-
ponents try to create an issue out of
national honor.
Now national honor is not the whim
of an individual mind.
National honor Is the composite SEN
timent. the composite reason of .
whole people feeling the emotions Of
nature and following the dictates Of
God.
And 1t Is for this reason that the
power" to declare war is conferred
by the Constitution Of the United
States. not on the Individual will of
president. but on the composite rea-
son. the representative decision of
the congress Of the United States"
Some Preparedness Ideas.
The genius Of this country is for
peace. There is no danger of milf
tarism.
We have built our greatness on the
resources Of nature and the peace
full toll of our people.
With us war has never been 4
choice, 1t has always been q fate.
Like the old Mohawk chief who
loved peace, we would like to throw
the tomahawk of war SO high in the
sky that no mans hand could ever
pull 1t down. But when some other

The war across the seas has

long as men are men and nations ma
tons. wars will continue.
For these reasons this administra-
tion has done more for our army and
our navy than any administration in
our history.
Tho Democratic party advocates and
