Grafton; that 1t Is possible to bring
into federated relations with one an
other states which possess varying
characters. of interests and ambi-
tions, and which will be left to re-
tain their full independence of ac-
tion, Is shown by the organization of
the Pan-American Union. Under the
plan Of the organization of the Pam
American Union, the decisions of the
council have back of them for en-
forcement the whole power of the
states constitutingt he union.
"Our own federal union controls
the peace between forty-eight inde-
pendent states. Issues arising in
these states, which In the old days
of the thirteen colonies would have
developed into friction and war, are
now adjusted by the decisions of the
supreme court, but the decisions car
ry authority and the adjustment re-
mains permanent only because back
of the court stands the whole organ
lied power Of the nation.
"The International Tribunal at
The Hague had the weakness of pre-
senting no provision for the enforce
ment of the decisions of the Tribun-
al. In every civilized state OF the
world, decisions are now arrived at
In a court. These court decisions
would have little value, however, in
maintaining peace in the communi-
ties unless back of the authority OF
the court stood an organized force.
The plans outlined by the League to
Enforce Peace make provision for
carving into effect the decisions of
an International Court and, so to
speak, for enforcing conciliation by
means of pressure, firstec onomic,

brought to bear upon any state or
states. which having accepted mem
bership in the Federation, should re-
fuse to abide by its decisions. The
mere fact that authority has been or
ganized for carrying out economic or
military pressure, and the further
fact that this authority represents
no selfish interest on the part Of any
one state, or group of states, but the
interests Of the whole federation,
which are the interests Of civiliza-
tion, It Is hoped, constitute a sufi-
cient influence to render improbable,
almost impossible, the risk of dis
obedience to the authority Of the
Worlds Supreme Court.
"a policy of free trade will, in my
Judgment, constitute the most impor-
tant factor in maintaining peace in

Kidney Disorder
(BY DIR. V. BIZ. PIEkCE.)

The most simple methods are usu-
ally the most effective ones when
treating any disorder of the human
system. The mere drinking a cup
of hot water each morning, plenty
of pure water all day, and little
Anuric before every meal has been
found the most effective means Of
overcoming kidney trouble. Death
would occur If the kidneys did not
work day and night in separating
poisons and uric acid from the blood.
The danger signals are backache,
depressions, pains, heaviness, drowsi-
ness. irritabiiity, headaches, chilli
ness, rheumatic twinges, swollen
Joints or govt.
Since it is such 4 simple matter to
step into your faVorite drug store and
obtain Aruric. anyone who earnestly
desires to regain health and new life
will waste no time in beginning this
treatment.
