I But, the trouble with the statements
of the heroic colonel is that they are
not true, and above all men he should
be in position to know their falsity.
He was President of the United States
in 1907, when the Hague conference
was held, and it is safe assumption
that he knew the obligations this ma
ton assumed in the ratification of
those Conventions. He undoubtedly
knows, or should have known before
rushing into print, that in adopting
the Hague declarations, the United
States senate specifically attached the
following paragraph, which provides
for just such a contingency as that
at present:
Nothing contained in this Conven-
ton shall be so construed as to re-
quire the United States of America to
depart from it's traditional policy of
not intruding upon. interfering with,
or entangling itself in the political
questions of policy * of any for
eign state. nor shall anything in the
said Convention be construed to i'm
ply a REIMBURSEMENT by the United
States of it's traditional attitude to-
ward purely American questions"
Still in heroic mood on May %,
when former Secretary of the Navy
Meyer officially notified the colonel
that the Roosevelt Republican COM
mittee, with membership in 80 states,
had been organized to work for his
nomination for the presidency by the
Republican convention, he replied, in
part:
"There is no use of being for half
measures of Americanism and pre-
paredness. Still less is it of any use
for any public man to announce him
self in vague general terms as in favor
of Americanism and preparedness un.
less his whole course of action In pub
lie life has made it evident, and now
makes it evident, that he means just
exactly what he says.
General professions are utterly
worthless unless in the first place the
man making them is ready Immediate
ly to apply them to every concrete
case as it actually arises, and unless,
in the second place. when he has the
opportunity, he at once turns his words
into deeds.
81 am fighting for these principles.
They are the principles you are or
ganizing to support, and with all my
heart I welcome such support, accept
ing it as given, primarily to the princi-
pies and only secondarily for myself.
ANY man at this time of crisis who
is not aggressively, openly and specifi-
cally for these principles, is against
them, and every patriotic man should
treat our public servants on this basis"

AntIquIty OF EARRINGS,

The very earliest mention Of earrings
is to be found in the book Of Genesis.
Jacob, it will be remembered, on reach
ing Bethel buried certain strange idols.
among them some earrings belonging
to his family. Doubtless these orna-
ments were regarded purely in a propi-
tiatory light as amulets or talismans.
such being still their principal Office in
the east today. That they are of east
ern origin is certain. and among orien-
tails. with the exception Of Greeks and
Hebrews. it has always been the Gus
tom for both sexes to wear them, while
frequently only one ear was adorned.
Among other races, however, earrings
were always worn in pairs and by the
women only.

A Hand on the Shoulder.

When a man amt got a cent
And he's feeling kind Of blue,
And the clouds hang dark and heavy
And won't let the sunshine through.
It's great thing. o my brethren,
Fer a Teller just to lay
His hand upon your shoulder
In friendly sort O. way.
1t makes a man feel curious:
1t makes the tear drops start,
And you sort O. feel a f1utter
In the region Of your heart:
You can look up and meet his eyes:
You don't know what to say
When his hand Is on your shoulder
In a friendly sort O. way.
Oh. the worlds curious compound,
With Its honey and it's gall
With its cares and bitter crosses
But good world, after ALL
And a good God must hav- made it
Leastways. that Is what l say

Wealth in Alaskan Waters.

When Alaska was purchased for only
S7OOO,OOO, no one thought Of it's pros
pective value as source Of food prod
ucts, Providence Journal man states.
Alaska now Is regarded as the coming
center Of the fish supply Of the world
A writer familiar with the great terri
tory says:
1.-THE sea beats upon $4,000 miles of
Alaska shore line. a distance greater
than the circumference of the earth.
All of that vast stretch Of waters Is
teeming with the most edible fish on
earth. Every bay is harbor where
these fish can be prepared for the mar
kets Of the world, and the greatest
ships afloat can anchor in safety while
taking on their cargOes."
The food wealth Is no less important
than the mineral wealth of Alaska, for
the demand for foodstuffs Of all de-
scriptiOns is increasing and prices are
advancing. The tapping Of new sources
of supply Is most desirable.

so Impressive.

,'there is the roar of artillery. The
men In the trenches get used to the
firing and pay no attention. Every
clear day, too, the air is full Of aero
planes. Battles in the air are q daily

to watch the flyers battling"
The time may come. Of course, when
the rattle Of machine guns In the sky
Will receive from seasoned soldiers no
more attention than they give to the
fire Of artillery to which they are not
dcstructively exposed. But that ad-
Justment of the nervous system has
not yet come.

How important this is may be seen In

head also feels stuffy and full; the
feel dry and parched, due to conges-

is feeling of languor. and an Zach

joints. Headche is also often present.
and lack Of appetite. Bad breath and
coated tongue are almost invariably
present. The victim Is usually consti-

The "nipping" process consists. first
of all, in getting the blood away from
the head and chest into the lower ex-
tremities. The best means to this end
Is a hot foot bath-as hot as can be
borne. A bucket Of any kind will serve
the purpose; especially good Is buck
