''Peace Is Our Passion

The above ideas | believe en-
press the views of the great ma
jority of the American people.
Our people are strongly for peace.
But they do not want national
humiliation.
AS Jefferson we'll said, peace
is our passion" Consequently our
people will never sanction an I'M
provoked war of aggression on an
other people. But with the world
trembling under the feet of
marching armies. with the earth
rocking as in the throes of an
earthquake, II would certainly be
the part of wisdom to made ade-
quate preparation for national de-
tense.
Now, as between an adequate
army and navy, | should say the
navy should be developed, for two
reasons. First, to prevent n for
eign foe from landing. Second,
in the worlds history, it is the
army rather than the navy which
has been used to beat down the
liberties of its own nation.
In practically all countries the
navy is more popular than the

Millennium Not Here

wish to do Mr.. Bryan and
those who think as he does the
justice of saying that their appeal
is not only to the L. S., but to all
nations to disarm-to Germany as
to her army; to Great Britain as
to her navy, and to all the ma
tons.
But as we live in an actual, not
an ideal world, the Millennium of
peace and universal brotherhood
has not yet dawned. While the
nations of the earth are COM
posed of men with the human
qualities of ambition, hate, greed,
rivalry, to say nothing of eco
nomieal necessity, it is not safe
for the U. s. to be lamb among
the wolves.
In early English history, for ex-
ample, our Anglo-Saxon forefa-
theirs accepted Christianity and
laid aside war in the midst of a
world at war. The result was
that the Danes easily came in,
overran the country, and for two
centuries the prayer of the Eng
fish was, From the fury Of the
Mortimer, oh Lord. deliver us. -
Hands Times Bouquet
So let America, learning wis
dom from the lessons of history,
prepare an army, navy and coast
defenses that could at least hold
at bay the foreign invader, as the
allies we're able to do, until the
millions of trained citizen soldiers
,ould rally to the colors.

CANADA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton Will Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
Unn0ticeabIe.

So many rumOrs have been circu-
lated regarding war taxation in
Canada that the statement made by
Sir Thomas White, Canadian Minister
of Finance. of the Governments plans
for raising war revenue should be CIV
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made it clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits of incor
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent, and the
profits of unincorporated firms or part
nerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent. On all such excess profits
these companies or firms will have to
contribute one-quarter to the Govern
ment. Transportation companies.
banks, mining, milling. and other COM
panies will be subject to this taxation.
but life insurance companies, and COM
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies,
firms, or individuals engaged in agri.
culture or stock raising, are exempt.
and pay no part of this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro-
posed is an increase of fifty cents a
barrel in the customs duty ON apples.
and one-half cent a gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds of oils.
1t will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such a way that it
does not affect farmers in the slight
est degree, except. perhaps, through a
small increase in cost of apples and
oil. The war revenue is to be paid out
of the profits of the big firms and COM
panies with capital of over fifty thou
sand dollars, and even these are al
lowed seven per cent in some cases.
and ten per cent in others, of clear
profits before they have to pay any
part of this taxation. 1t will be seen
that the whole policy is to place the |
war expenditure taxation on those who !
have been making big profits and are |
able to pay it, and to encourage farm
ing and stockraising by exempting |
farmers and stock-raisers from the tax
alton. This ought to set at rest every
-umor that the farmer or the farmers
and is being taxed to pay the cost Of
he War.-AdvertiSeme

China Herself AGAIN,

New decorations to commemorate
the Inauguration of the new empire
will be issued to officials on the Ia
Huang-Tis formal accession to the
throne. The state department has
decided that there should be two
kinds of decorations: one of gold and
the other of silver. Both series of
decorations will be in the form of a
full moon, and the figure of dragon
will be stamped on the rim, while the
divine face of the Ia Huang-Ti in
his mien and liu will form the cen
trail figure of the decoration The
ribbon attached to the gold decora-
ton will be of yellow satin and en-
broidered with figures Of yellow
dragons. The same attached to the
silver decoration will be of plain yell
low satin. The designs have been de-
cided upon by the state department
and brought to the holy notice of the
Ia Huang-Ti for his divine approval.

space has been eliminated to large
extent in most parts of the country
but here and there you will still find
such an arrangement in use.
If the threshing floor is to be pro-
vided in this way the entrance should
be on bridge, so that the earth is
not against the side of the barn. 1t
is impossible to have a dry, sanitary
barn under these conditions. One of
the reasons for building in this way
was to keep the barn warm. While
this may be accomplished to more
or less extent, the sacrifice of sanitary
conditions and dryness do not make
it worth while.
The solid concrete basement, eX-
posed on all sides to the air and hav-
ing plenty of windows so that the in
terror of the barn will be bright and
cheerful, is great improvement over
the old-fashioned bank barn. In addi-
ton to its sanitary features it is much
warmer than the older type and it can
be kept dry and ventilated with
good air supply.
Concrete for foundations for all
kinds of buildings is one of the most
important uses of this material When
extended above grade as in this case,
the lower part of the walls can be
easily kept clean, and as the lower
part Of the walls is more likely to be
dirty than any other, the Importance
of concrete from sanitary standpoint
is seen. The value of concrete for all
kinds of foundations is shown in the
fact that almost all buildings of any
kind now are set on concrete where q
few years ago various other materials
were used with varying degrees OK
success.
With the floor in this barn built of
the same material, the joint between
the floor and the wall is made very
tight, SO that there IL no opportunity
for vermin Of any kind to get in. The
walls and the floors can be washed
down with Z hose 1t the same time,

When cross, irritable, feverish, or

that is needed to keep the barn in q
clean and sanitary condition.
The upper part of this barn is Of
frame construction, and the roof GOV
ering it is of the gambrel type, sup
ported by trusses. This type of roof
is becoming almost universal because
of the fact that the entire upper part
of the barn is not obstructed by any
columns or pillars.
A modern ventilating system is in
stalled with intakes at the upper part
of the concrete wall and outtakes
through the ventilators shown ON the
roof
The silo is built at one corner Of
the barn and Is of the monolithic con-
crete type. 1t is large enough so that
plenty of silage can be kept to feed
all the dairy COWS and other stock in
the building. 1t is very important that
dairy cows especially have silage so
that they will keep on giving good
supply of milk during the months
when the price of milk is high. If
farmer expects to add to his herd he
should make provision for all the cows
that he will be likely to feed in the
future, and build his silo to accommo-
date them. 1t is better to waste some
silage than to run out when it is need
ed the most. Care must be exercised
to keep the silage from spelling, by
removing enough each day.
The COWS are faced out in this plan,
so that all the cleaning is concen-
trated in one alley Many dairymen
consider this arrangement the best,
but many others prefer to concentrate
the feeding in one alley. In the latter
case the COWS are, of course, faced in.
A little more than half this barn is
devoted to a dairy, but one end is
separated from this part and contains
horse stalls. The horse stalls are cut
off from the rest of the barn by a
heavy partition and double doors
across the litter alley, also single
doors across the two feed alleys. The
doors can be swung out of the way,

carriers can be run through to this
part of the stable.

Says you really feel clean. sweet

If you are accustomed to wake up
with a coated tongue, foul breath or
dull, dizzy headache; or, if your
meals sour and turn into gas and
acids, you have real surprise await

Tomorrow morning, Immediately up
on arising, drink a glass of hot water
with teaspoonful of limestone phos-

neutralize and then wash out of your
stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet
of intestines all the indigestible waste,
poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal.
Those subject to sick headaches,
backache. bilious attacks, constipation
or any form of stomach trouble, are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from your druggist or
at the store and begin enjoying this
morning inside-bath. 1t is said that
men and women who try this become
enthusiastic and keep it up daily. 1t
is splendid health measure for it is
more important to keep clean and pure
on the inside than on the outside, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb i'm
purities into the blood, causing dis
ease, while the bowel pores do.
The principle of bathing inside Is
not new, as millions of people practice
it. Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water and a teaspoonful of limestone
act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos-
phate is an inexpensive white powder
