There has never been anything more
unfair to the human race than the propo-
ganda of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS." de-
clared Rev. DR.. John Van Schaick, jr.,
pastor OF the Church of Our Father, in
his sermon on the humane treatment of
animals yesterday morning.
His talk was one of many delivered In
observance of Humane Sunday. a day set
aside by the ministers of the Humane So
Ciety Of Washington for sermons on the
just care of animals
Just as I cannot join in the movement
for the elimination of animals from foou
purposes, could not join in propaganda
which would keep either human or ami
NAL life safe If their killing was for scien-
ti1c purposes. To my mind, one of the
highest callings is for men to die for hu-
manity.
Some persons object to humanitarian
work for animals being done while there
is so much death and suffering among
the people of Europe. These persons are
not just in the weighing of their bal
ances, because the life of an animal is
something to be protected just as the life
of a man, providing there is no just cause
for death"
Sermons along similar lines, calling for

of Washington yesterday. Stilson Hutch
ms president of the Humane Society, ex-
pressed his thanks last evening to the
clergymen who had talked to their con-
gregations in behalf of animals. The day
was observed throughout the country.

THE .JEFFERSONIAN
WATSON AND MEXICO.

For his personal attack upon
President Wilson, Tom Watson de-
serves cenSUre. His assertion with
reference to the influence of the
Catholic Church upon the Presidents
Mexican policy is absurd. But to call
his condemnation of the Mexican sit
uation treason" is one of those
many unjustifiable mistakes that are
responsible for the unquestioned
strength Of Tom Watson in Georgia
We regret that the Augusta Chroni-
Gle has done this.
Many who admire Woodrow Will
son personally, believe that the
has erred in handling the Mexican
situation. While they do not sus-
pect the Presidents motives, they be-
lieVe that back of the presence Of
American troops in Mexico is tho
<ceaseless agitation of VIM. Randolph
Hearst and capitalists having in
terests in Mexico Believing this,
they feel that the United States
should have complied with Carran-
Za's request for the withdrawal Of
the American troops from Mexico.
Our border should be protected
Troops should be massed along the
line But to thrust a long finger of
men into the heart of Mexico and to
keep them there Indefinitely, is
wrong. 1t means war eventually, the
blame for which can not be placed
upon Carranza.
Let US be just both to Watson and
Mexico
1t is not treason to believe that
President Wilson has erred. Would
that the Presidents friends were able
to make him see the mistake before
it is too late. We believe that our
troops should be withdrawn from
Mexico. A row between oil magnates
and the desires Of millionaire land
owners are not reasons to justify the
shedding of one drop Of American
blood on foreign soil. Christian
civilization forbids.
We regret that more than Tom
Watson have not raised their voices
to protest against the sacrifice Of
human life, which, if made, can in
our opinion never be justified.-The

and I now weigh fourteen pounds

health and not only expresses deep
gratitude, but is very enthusiastic il
his praise of Tanlac, for what it has

Continuing, Mr. Wilson said:
ANYONE who has been benefited as
Tanlac has benefited me should be
willing, for the sake of others, to
tell it to the world. About two
years ago my health began to fail.
At that time I weighed a hundred
and fifty pounds. I kept falling Off
gradually but I paid little attention
to that, as l never thought Of getting
into any serious condition.
'FThen l contracted a severe cough
which got to be very stubborn and
kept hanging on. [ rocked along for
a while and weighed myself again
and found | had dropped down to

Still I didn't get much uneasy
although I could tell | was getting
weaker Finally my appetite left
me and | got so I didn't want any
thing at all to eat. I then became
very nervous and my sleep was all
broken. All my energy seemed to
leave me and I would get up in the
mornings all tired out and couldn't
eat any breakfast. l Just had to drag
along and could hardly pull through
my days work. | had never worn
suspenders, but | got so thin | had
to put them on to keep my clothes
from dropping off and I simply felt
miserable all the time. Then l be-
came alarmed and was SO worried [
didn't know what to do.
Il was living in Chattanooga at
this time and | had heard of so
many people there Tanlac had helped

almost from the start an I knew l
had found just what l needed I be-
hoye I started on it in the nick of
time, for | was almost a complete
physical wreck when | took my first
dose. I kept taking it after coming
to Birmingham and it has certainly
worked wonders for me. 1t built me

fourteen pounds more than [ ever

cough and all my nervousness are
gone. My strength and energy have

at all l have never felt in better

agency in every town.
