The Part OF America in Securing
Peace With Honor
~
County supt

We must never forget that the only
real hope for the establishment and
continuance OF general peace among
the nations Of the earth is TO be found
through the operations OF law and OF
international tribunals. and, above all,
in some reasonable agreements among
the greatest and most responsible ma
tions for the maintenance OF peace.
II we Americans would do our part
In this great work as am sure we all
desire TO do, our first duty is to make
our own peace at home and abroad So
sure. No nation which is unable TO
maintain It's own peace can preach
peace with any effect TO others. Be
fore we can be peacemakers we must
convince be world that we can uphold
our own peace against any assault up
ON t. That can be accomplished I'm
only one way; by putting behind our
peace force which cannot be over
come, Just as we put q police force
behind the law and order which we
maintain I'm our cities.
Peace cannot be preserved by words
The force OF the nation, organized and
armed. must sustain g. II Il Is not
effectively armed, we shall not only
be unable to promote the peace Of the
world but we shall be ourselves the
victims Of war Rich and defenseiess.
we shall invite war We shall be in
that most humiliating and disastrous
OF attitudes the attitude Of crying.

The most direct method of lncreas-

dicious advertising, first, the delect-
ableness OF the article I'm question;
second. It's cleanliness, and third. It's
convenience.
Before the days Of the higher de-

and fried steaks-an dyspepsia was
considered a national Characteristic

who drew roseate pictures OF the pal.

peoples mouths water for them. It
does not pay nearly so well to scold
people for their faults as to encour-
age them in their virtues The result
has been the great wave Of food re.
form that has swept over the entire
country.
Now almost everything from SOUP 10
nuts is advertised in some new. bot

people have been accustomed 10. and
this food goes TO the table Of the con
sumner I'm more sanitary and more de-
lectable form than ever before. The
world owes much to the men who have
given their best brains to the purity
Of foods and to the enlightenment Of
the public on the subject.
Considering the ratio Of cost TO EN-

present national political issues are
presented clearly, and which shows
that the war issue is not hoisted for
the purpose OF patriotism or national
pride. but having as it's object the de-
feat OF Wilson for reelection. The
