York Wednesday morning. The boat
was in the war zone twenty-four
hours and it was escorted by two tor
pedo boats past the Irish coast and
was met at Liverpool by torpedo
boat destroyer with a salute of pro-
lection. The passage over was very
rough, which lessened the worry
about submarines.
The passengers were mostly wo-
men and children, and sea sickness
was the principal thing they worried
about, for everyone was sick. There
were no unusual occurrences of any
kind. AS usual, we had, paper

GLASS Of SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
u your Back l. aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots Of water
and eat less meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your back
feels sore, don't get scared and proceed
to load your stomach with lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys
clean like you keep your bowels clean,
by flushing them with a mild. harmless
salts which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor
nal activity. The function of the kid
neys is to filter the blood. In "a hours
they strain from it 500 grains of acid
and waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the kid
neys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning for a few
days and your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for genera
tons to clean and stimulate clogged kid
neys; also to neutralize the acids in

WILL THE FUTURE BRING
!. TROUSERED WOMEN

Rev. DR.. James T. Norcross, pas
tor of the Shady Avenue Baptist
Church, of Pittsburgh, Pa, said
frankly in talk at the Edgewood
Presbyterian Church that he disap-
proves of skirts. DR.. Norcross was
speaking of Western trip, and took
occasion to comment on the costume
of the Chinese women, who he says
We're "attired more sensibly than
than Occidental sisters He then
went on to the subject of his noun
tain climbs, and added
when God gave folks legs he in
tended them to be used. If you
want to find an elixir of life, go to
the wilds, sleep on the ground and

they would feel better"
Ma Pattengill, familiar to readers
Il "Ruggles of Red Gap" takes the
same stand from another point of
view. She says in recent story in
the Saturday Evening Post:
ANY man on the place was will
ling to look me over when | had reg
ular clothes on: but dress me like
Lysander John. and they didn't look
at me any oftener than they did him.
Not as often, of course, for as a plain
human being and mans equal /
wasn't near as interesting as he was.
FREEDOM from skirts is the last
thing our sex wants. Skirts is the
final refuge of immodesty, to which
women will cling like grim death
They will do any possible thing to
skirt-slit it, thin it, shorten it,
hike ii up on one side-but they
won't give it up and dress modestly
as men do, because it's the only I'M
fair drag they got left with the men.
'If they'd quit their skirts and
dress up decently as man does, so
they won't have any but legitimate
pull with him, we'll have a chance
to find out if they are good for any
thing else. AS a matter of fact, they
don't want to be people and dress
modestly and wear hats you couldn t
pay more than eight dollars for. !
believe there was one once, but the
poor thing never got any notice from
either sex after she became-a peo-
pie, as one might say"
Now the Federation of Women s
Clubs is going in for dress reform,
there's something worth pondering
in each of these announcements up
on the skirt question.

a propagandist, an agitator, and his
place has manifestly been in the
ranks of the Roosevelt men, and not
in the cabinet of Democratic Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Garrison is man of ability
and ambition, and his correspond
ence with the President expresses an
| arrogance and an intolerance of OPP
position that are the distinctive
characteristics of the war party in
Germany and in America.
There is no reason why the mill
tia may not be modified and nat
ionalized. Nothing in our history
nor in thehistory of the ilitia justi-
fies the scorn with which Mr.. Gar
rison speaks of it, in an attempt to
have Congress and thenation adopt
his. continental army, which is no
army at all, and national only in
that it was intended to obliterate
State lines and relieve the State of
all responsibility for the army or the
result of the war.
The President speaks for the wise,
deliberate, practical course; the
course which Congress and the peo-
pie will support, while it has been
made clear that neither Congress
nor the people will stand for Garri
sons continental device.
Furthermore, the attitude of the
Secretary of War to Congress and to
all who refuse to accept his plans
as the only possible plans, disquali-
, fies him for further usefulness in
the cabinet.
! Finally Congress is the people,
and any military scheme must have
Congress back of it from the begin
ming.
We believe the retirement OF Mr.
Garrison will strengthen the Presi-
dent and quiet the country; as it
will bring the controlling forces in
each party to the support of a con-
sentative program of military prog
ress.
AS to the Philippines, that is an
other question. The Philippines
ought to be held. REGARDLESS of the
cost in men and money, for as a
dereliet they would threaten the
peace of the world. The cutlery for
independence originated with the
New England Federalists-the little
Americans from the beginning
while the Democrats have always
been expansionists, under whom
freedom, full-winged, expands

A GLIMMER OF LIGHT

Occasionally there comes from
Germany an indication that all the
people there are not entirely salts

fare adopted by the government
The world recognizes that in war
many frightful things are necessary
either to secure advantage over an
enemy or to protect an army or a
country from attack. 1t recognizes.
too, that there are certain things
which cannot be done, and among
these are attacks on unforfeited
places, and the killing of non-com-
batants, women and children.
The civilized world turns in horror
from accounts of the Killing of those
who are not regularly taking part in
the combat and especially does it
reprobate the murder of women and
little children.
There is not the slightest ques-
tlon that Germany has lost the SYM
pathy of this country becaue of her
attitude toward those who were in
nowise responsible for the conflict.
1t is therefore a cheering sign to
observe that some newspapers of
Germany are taking much the same
position and are calling attention to
the fact that while air raids over
cities of the enemy may be spectacu-
lar, they accomplish no military adj
vantage and serve to arouse the en-
envy to greater exertions, and, fur
thermore, that the world regards
such warfare as uncivilized and in
human.

inasmuch as it cannot fail to cause
confusion among the enemy, is hard
ly calculated TO bring the chances of
a final German victory any nearer.
1--WE even have an idea that such
raids, when directed against so stub
born race as the English, would
rather tend to strengthen them in
their obstinacy. After all, the An
glo-SaXons are racially near akin to
the Germans. Knowing ourselves as
we do, can imagine that similar at
lacks on non-combatants in German
cities would produce an effect quite
the reverse of what the enemy might
dsire to produce.

viewpoint but they really do us more
harm than good. The irritate not

"Englishmen are looking for the
war to end in about four months,

107 Hobart street, who reached this
city from England Friday morning.
Since last July Mr.. Martin, who
resided in Battle Creek at that time,
has been located at Barrow-in-Fur
ness on the west coast of England,
where he did repair work on sub
marines in the shipyards there. This
place is not only a shipyard but a
point at which many munitions are
manufactured and training camp
is located. Although he was located
there during his stay overseas, still
he visited many other places. The
nearest fighting line was 40 miles
distant in France. Mr.. Martin was
out on some of the hills where the
guns were tested and of course saw
the wounded soldirs as they were
brought to Barrow Furness where
there is large hospital, but he did
not see actual fighting.
