These" Is a Frequent
Question

Has the stock market discounted
war orders placed with American
manufacturers by European govern
ments? Will the prices Of certain
stocks continue their advance OF the
past year or so7 This has been a
real bull market, but how much
LONGER will IL last? These are the
interrogations in the back of every.
body's mind, from the biggest finan-
cier down TO the casual observer OF
the stock market, says the Wall-st
Journal.
War orders OF two billion dollars
gross. at our lowest estimate, have
been received by some ~ CON-
panies. War orders OF 2s OF these
concerns amount 10 l,737 millions
OF dollars; the market price OF the
stocks OF these rs concerns has ap-
preciated s19 millions OF dollars, OF
approximately SO per cent OF thu
gross war orders.
This war order business is in
terms OF gross and not net profits.
However. when net profits from war
orders OF % per cent TO so per cent
are not uncommon. the natural in.
quiry arises az to whether the full
importance OF this business has
been realized marketvise, In view
OF the credit restorations and the

May L. Stewart. Commissioner

A number Of schools have started
their Christmas programs. The Ranney

The Chaddock school had box social

were sent out.
Three second visits were made dur

Otelia Schultz, Thomas Hitchcock,
Walter and Charles Cooper are report

amount of Home Work for the entire
year. Orville Boyer and Walter Kemp
did half years work in one month.

so unique and appropriate that it was

three minutes of out door exercise.
Pictures of the Standard Schools OF
the county have at last been collected
and the directory will soon be on its
way to the long expectant officers and
teachers.
The Household editor of the Michi.

asked several questions during the past
two weeks.

What is the grandest question in the

In a letter received from Rev. III.
Girling of Emmanuel college by Rev.

the college, the>missionary announced
he reached the tribe October 10, 1915,
and remained with them some time.
He asserts he is the first white man
to dwell among the new-found people,
who since their discovery have con.
stituted an chronological mystery and
formed the goal of unsuccessful ex-
petitions.

clean, sweet and fresh
and avoid illness.

Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with results that are Of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat
est application of its untiring research
Is the recommendation that 1t Is as
necessary to attend to internal santa
ton Of the drainage system OF the hui
man body as it is to the drains of the
house.
Those OF us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices Of the sys-
tenn each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the stom-
ach, liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour bile and
poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
an empty stomach Is wonderfully in
MIGRATING. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and acidity
and gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast. While you are enjoying
your breakfast the phosphated hot
water Is quietly extracting large vol
ume of water from the blood and get
ting ready for a thorough flushing of
all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness !;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get a quarter pound Of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
This will cost very little, but is suffi.
cient to make anyone a pronounced
crank on the subject OF internal san
itation.

Cairo. Egypt.-At place which can
be designated only as somewhere In
Egypt" the British forces are estab-
fishing what will be one Of the largest
and most completely equipped aviation
schools In the world. An Associated
Press correspondent who recently Wis

completion, and he was told that at
least seven thoroughly qualified pupils
In the art of flying will be graduated
each week so long as the war lasts, for
service not only with the British
forces In Egypt, but elsewhere If de-
handed.
This part of the world was chosen
for the school mainly because 1t is
adapted climatically to flying the
whole year round, and because II Is
handy to the various theaters 'of war.
Incidentally an observer here mia
remark that the sands of the desert
also furnish soft bed for the mex

The school will accommodate, in adj

This statement. made by the Imperial
German Chancellor. DIR. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, in his latest speech before the

directs the interest OF those who are
following the trend OF the German press
TO a number OF plans discussed OF late
by the editors In the fathe ria nd with
regard 10 the future relations between
Germany and Belgium.
The suggestion of a tariff union with
the little kingdom now occupied by the
kaiser's troops has been a popular topic
Of discussion In the press OF Germany.
Among other projects on this subject
suggested Is one by J. Rosemeyer. OF
Northumberland. a prominent engineer.
Herr Rosenthal's idea. based on the
ancient principle. "N~avigare necesse
est" Is to create a new mouth Of the
Rhine by connecting that river with
Antwerp. Belgium's great seaport. and
Zeebrugge, the little town on Belgium's
coast which now serves the Germans as
a submarine base. In a lengthy article
which has been reprinted In many OF the
foremost pan-German organs. he points
out that such a "Rhine-West-Canal'
would be welcomed by Holland. For the
canal, under his plan. Is to lead through
Holland. via Sittard. through Dutch
Limburg and would thus be OF great
service in expanding not only German,
but also Belgian and Dutch ommerce.
The distance from Cologne. on the
Rhine, to Antwerp by way OF the new
canal would be. Herr Rosemeyer fig
ures, 1870 miles. while that from Duis-
burg to Antwerp would be about Ice
miles. The former distance could he
covered In seventy-four. the latter In
seventy-one hours. The total length Of
the proposed canal liz figured at about
l52 miles. and the total cost OF con-
struction IL estimated at $4,000. 900
marks. or $7s. 500. 900.

senger OF terrible death the Count, with
out at all losing the composure of his
mind and attitude, loudly shouted TO

Ten years after this. when the decen-
NAL anniversary Of the assassin was
celebrated among his old friends,
Okuma sent out his secretaries to the
place where the memorial rites were per-
formed, to pay reverence to the soul of
the departed martyr. expressing his open

Democracy In ia pa y.

Democracy must be Interpreted IN
Japan as a government OF the people.
by the people and for a people under
guidance and auspice OF his majesty the
Emperor. In the IDEAS OF the Japanese
the elCreincss OF an emperor IL not ar
tiiicially presumed, but is a historical
conviction, strong In the growth Of CEN
turies. This Is the national faith. forth
fed by religious belief.
II the Emperor. legally sacred and in
v!olable. stands alone in the struggle OF
politics IT is not because he is "a ma
lional o~rnamentation ,as in some other
countries), but because he IS associated
with divine dignity that lifts him above
the reach Of vulgar responsibilities. for
he Is considered the very sea of SOW
crei2nty. the fuuntainhead OF laws ana
constitutions. being the direct descen-
dant OF the Amcterasu Omikami. the
divine ancestor whose shrine In the Ice
province makes a veritable Jerusalem
Ia all Japanese, except those who are
converted Christians.
The spirit of democracy advocated by
Count Okuma and his followers must
he also interpreted "a consistent with
this perennial faith OF the nation and
adapted to the religious notion OF an
ceStral worship. II in European sense
democracy means the equality of all
men for the share IN the Government, In
Jaran II signifies the equality OF all
subjects 10 share IN the Government
under the auspice OF the Emperor: In
other words, every one should be
privileged by right OF birth TO attend to
the service of the Emperor.
Let me now recommend a trait OF his
masnantmous character. as it tends to
show what sort OF virtue has been fos-
tered among the Japanese bred under the
prcCepts of the Bushido.
Twenty years ago when Count Okuma
assumed the task OF treaty revision, the
premature disclosure Of the draft of the
new treaties disclosed the fact tha a pro-
vision was made for the employment Of
foreign Judges IN the japanese Supreme
Court. IA condition imposed upon Japan
in exchange for the removal of consular

dauntless attitude Of the Count Az well
as by the Bushidoic %martyrdom OF the
