WAR IN THE
LAST LAP SAAS EDITOR

Colonel Watterson, of The Courier
journal, thinks that the war in
Europe is running in it's last lap.
Using the last months of the Ameri-
can civil war as a parallel he shows
how in several aspects the central
powers are in a position similar to
that of the Confederates. He says:
"In the Var of Sections there was
at no time genuine confidence on
either side. Almost to the close the
result seemed to the outer world I'M
certain. The C~onfederates held Rich
mond metaphorically speaking within
a stones throw of Washington. Less
than two years before Appomattox,
they had invaded Pennsylvania and
menaced New York and Philadelphia.
All the while the Gordon was tighten
ing about their throat and strang-
ling them to DEATH"
There are many indications that
the Teutons look to the end with ap-
%prehenslon rather than confidence,
even now, altho they still boldly
claim what territory they hold and
their South African possessions. The
allies on the other side claim certain
German territory, which they main
tain must be restored to it's rightful
owners, some to Denmark, some to
France, some to Russia.
I'VE do not believe the Teutonic
powers can reach, still less outlast
and endure, another winter. 1t looks
to us as tho they are on their final
lap. 1t can only he a question Of a
few months when the collapse will
come-maybe as sudden and smash
ing as that of the southern Confed-
eracy-with the allies in Berlin and
Vienna, the Hohenzollern and the
Hapsburg-to the devil with them!
flying for dear life, it may be cen
from the wrath of their own people,"
For several weeks the allies. have
carried on a terrific drive, and have
launched into the Teuton lines for
miles, and only in trifing instances
have they been checked. Just at
present Won Hindenberg's army has
stopped the Slavs at one point, but
with that news came also word that
the Australians on the British front
penetrated to two miles behind their
foes trenches and held their posi-
ton.
Colonel Watterson is thinking, no
doubt, of the inexplicable way in
which a war or a chess game may
work out when one side once gets
the upper hand and controls the stu
alton. The allies seem to have the
situation well in hand. 1t would take
no less than a military miracle for
the Germans to assume the offensive
again. And If they do not they are
lost. because nothing can Withstand
modern artillery.

LEAVE FOR SETTLERS
ON UNSURVEYED LANDS

Congressman Smith, of Idaho, has
been instrumental in passing legisla-
ton in congress recently which
authorizes a certain leave of absence
for settlers who have homesteads on
u~nsurveyed lands. This will relieve
the situation of those who have taken
public land before a survey has been
made of it, for they have been forced
to live continuously on such land I'M
til it was surveyed. After the survey
they could make formal application
for leave Of absence as provided I'M
der the general homestead law.
Under the new law a settler may
have five months off in each year,
taking it in one or two periods, after
having established his residence on
the land. He must have some plain
ly marked boundaries around his
claim and have filed notice at the
local office of his intention to claim
the land; then he is required to make
a statement as to how long he de
sires to be away.

STUDENTS MAKE THEIR
OWN WAY AT COLLEGE.

1t is claimed by the University of
Washington, at Seattle, that it is the
most democratic of all big schools,
and that more than 80 per cent Of
the men and even a large number Of
the women make either all or part
of their W expenses while attend
ing college. For those who put off
all effort at higher education until 1t
is too late and then say they never
could afford to start to college, and
those who fall in love with smart
clerical jobs and later say that col
lege is for rich sons only, and for
all who try to elevate their W in
dependence by saying that college is
a luxury set aside for the wealthy,
and for all others who really believe
that a college cours costs a fortune,

of Europe followed each other in set
Ting the islands during the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries.
The National Geographic society,
in a recent bulletin issued from
Washington furnishes what informa.
ton about the islands is considered
authentic, and in the article are the
following two paragraphs summing
up their history:
"More than a hundred years after
the discovery of st, Thomas by Co.
lumbus in 1893 the island was wholly
uninhabited, altho its excellent har-
Dor had been a port Of refuge for
Dutch navigators during many de-
cades. When a handful of French
colonists, survivors Of a massacre on
Crab island perpetrated by a band of
Spaniards from Porto Rico, reached
its shores in a dugout in 1647, they
found evidences of an earlier settle
'ment, but no clews as to the nation
atty Of their predecessors or their
fate. These French wanderers were
not disposed to brave a similar mys-
FERROUS end, so they sailed on.
"At about the time that Peter
l~Stuyvesant was establishing a repre-
sentative form of government on
Manhattan island some of his fellow
'countrymen were establishing the
first recorded settlement on st.
Thomas. These hardly colonists met
the anne fate which overlook their
brother Hollanders of New Amster-
DAM for three years after the town
on the Hudson became New York the
st. Thomas pioneers were forced to
surrender to the nEglish also. The
latter soon deserted the island and
turned to the more fertile land Of st.
Martins and st. Eustatias, so that in
1871, when the Danes, wishing to
share in the colonial prosperity of
other European nations, chartered
the West India and Guinea company,
st. Thomas, uninhabited again, was
awaiting the advent Of settlers who
were to establish Denmark's right in
the island. With two brief Interrupt
lions, this sovereignty has been main
tanned from that day up to the pres
emit time"

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or If Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney ,gion
1t generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in t'eir effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed Ind loggy
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi
clan at once or get from your pharma
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with Iithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer lrrl
tates, thus ending bladder weakness

THREE HINTS FOR HOUSEWIFE
Bed-Broken-Needle Holder in
the Work Basket.

A good use for discarded feather
beds is to put small portion Of the
feathers into tick made of muslin
the size of the bed. Spread the feath-
ers evenly, tack the case on quilting
frames, cover both sides with silko-
line, and knot OF tie as you would a
comforter. A most excellent substi-
tute for a down quilt is the result.
For a broken-needle holder for the
work basket use small, round bottle
about two inches long, with a plain
crochet covering of silk Of any de-
sired color, and cover the mouth of
the bottle with piece of silk fastened
with narrow ribbon. A medium-sized
cork, covered with crocheted silk, in
which to insert the point of the scis-
sors, is pretty and useful for the work
