agency and who have not yet delivered
same are hereby warned that unless prompt
assurance is given that their deliveries will
be taken care of promptly and the wood

are being received from Indians who had
not heretofore contracted for wood for per-
mission to sell to the Government therefore
further delay in making delivery of their
wood by those delinquent on their contracts
will result in the cancellation Of their op-
tions and the purchase of same from others.

Most Stomach Remedies Are
 Good 'Repeaters"
DysPepties Get "PilI" Habit and Keep It Up, Stomach Should Be Made to
 Act Naturally.

Any remedy that sells to the same people over and over again is known by the druggist as "a good repeater.'' Many stomach remedies, that are mere ly artificial digeStantS of the ferment- ing food in the stomach, come in this class. The people come back for more At first one pill gives prompt relief, then as the stomach further weakens. two or three pills are needed to end distress, and the stomach demands them after. every meal.
 Better and safer results are obtained by using a remedy like M-o-na Stom- ach Tablets, which not only help the stomach digest its food. but also work to tone and build up, the stomach so that soon it can do its own work with out pills or medicine.
 Mi-o-na is harmless and while it may not sell so long or as fast to its users as do stomach remedies that digest the food alone, it is because it fixes up the average stomach so we'll in a few weeks that medicine is no longer need ed.

ANOTHER THAN ROOSEVELT.

Many get satisfaction out of straw votes for the purpose of determining the political sentiment throughout the country, and this method has been used this spring with the usual fre- quency, but there have been at the same time a number of actual tests which unmistakably reveal the senti- ment of the people, and particularly of the members of the republican par ty as to where their preference lies as to the standard bearer in the com ing presidential election.
 In spite of claims to the contrary there has been a strong effort made to secure support for Theodore Roose- welt, regardless of the fact that he maintains that he is and intends to remain a member of the progressive party, but 1t has been demonstrated on several different occasions that it does not appeal to the majority of the party members.
 It began on primary day in New Hampshire when an enthusiastic ad- vocate of the former president, desir- ous of attending the national repub- lican convention as delegate pledged to his nomination, was found to have the smallest number of votes in the list of candidates for the delegation. Had New Hampshire wanted the Col onel at the head of the republican ticket, his supporter should at least have been chosen. Following a much harder fight for delegation pledged to Roosevelt's nomination, the voters of Massachusetts registered their op- position by selecting the unpledged delegation. Michigan has declared for its favorite son on the first ballot, but thereafter the delegation from that state, formerly a bull moose strong hold, is committed to Hughes.
 Now from the other coast comes the result of the California primary, which shows the regular republicans winning over the faction headed by Hiram Johnson the ardent Roosevelt lieutenant.
 These tests furnish a basis for the opinion that the republicans are not in sympathy with the movement to nominate the man who led the revolt making possible the present admins tration, and that they insist that an- other shall be the nominee.

NOT A SATISFACTORY REPLY.

Drafted along lines similar to-those upon which other replies to commit nications from this country have been Formulated, the answer from Germany t0 the latest American note is an eva Elye one. It approaches the point and withdraw, makes promises and hedges them about with restrictions and demands. without admitting that it has responsibilities to live up to, and which should be respected, even though nations among the belligerents may not be treating that country as it thinks it ought to be treated as an enemy.
 It Is apparently convinced by the proof presented in the American note that it was a German submarine which attacked the Sussex but it refrains from acknowledging 1t. It would have this country get the impression that the attacks upon neutral vessels and the disregard for the lives of non combatants have been the result of errors rather than intentional action, and it appears to be grieved because this country has not seen fit to accept the proposals which it has made which would have meant the abandon ment of American rights.
 Germany gives evidence that it does not desire a break with this country but 1t tenaciously clings to the idea that it is justified in going to the ex- krameH that it has in the treatment of neutrals, because enemy nations have shut off trade with the central powers and committed offenses against neu- tral rights which are far less serious.
 The German note is no different than the others which have preceded lt It lacks definiteness and contains promises which it is admitted are likely to be abandoned. The same dis position to prolong the discussion and enter into a debate is disclosed, when the United States note called for a yes" or mo" answer, and it is difh- cult to see how it can be looked upon as satisfactory.
 President Wilson's note called for the abandonment of the German sub marine methods, but the promises made are accompanied by a signifi- cant If.

sHooreNo THE nusLlN REBELs.

Tn dealing with the leaders of the Dublin revolt, the British, government has acted quickly. and in accordance with the law by putting to death seven of those ulostprominenttyi iden- tiled with the movement. Stern ac- ton was apparently considered. nec- essaxy under the circumstances in orr der to teach a lesson to others who might be inclined to take up the cause which proved such a failure and which was one of the most unwise moves ever made in behalf of the freedom of Ireland. That they re- ceived no more than they deserved in view of their offense and the advan- tage which they took of existing con- ditions will be recognized even by those who are enthusiastic supporters of the Irish cause
 Such, however. does not prevent Great Britain from receiving much criticism for the kind of punishment inflicted, and that Is made possible for the reason that others who have been engaged in much the same kind of treason have been dealt with more leniently.
 This is particularly true in the case of General De Wet. the well known Boer leader, who earlier in the war saw a chance to free South Africa from the control of the British in spite of the fact that conditions there had greatly improved since the close of the Boer war. General De Wet dis played his sympathy with the enemy of the British and did his utmost in stirring up revolt to ernbarrass Eng land at a time when there was plen- ty of trouble elsewhere. It took but short time to put down the upris- ing and to capture the rebel leader, whose crime was along the same line as the leaders of the Sim Feiners, but it was considered good policy in his case not to impose the death sentence. That may have been sufficient for thinking that others would be treated likewise, but the fact that others took advantage of it and may have expect ed the same sort of leniency may be the explanation of the British action 1 in the case of the Irish rebels.

WHAT PREVENTION DOES.

IL Is possible to talk indefinitely about the merits of most any propo- sftion but the real significance does not sink deep and make the impress sion desired unless the arguments are backed up by actual accomplish Such help any cause and for that rea- son the report which has just been is- sued by the fire department of New York city furnishes one of the strong est possible arguments in behalf of fire prevention.
 Tn that city during the past year it ls shown that the fire loss per cap- lta is the lowest on record. There was a reduction therein of 32 cents tor each person. which mounts up to an appreciable sum when it is realized lhat the population of the metropolis ls i've million or better, but in addi- ton thereto the budget for the de- partnent has been reduced from the amounts of the past two years.
 New York certainly has reason to be proud of the accomplishment when lt is shown that there was a reduction n the aggregate loss from a trifie less han eight and a quarter million dol- ars in 1914 to less than i've and three nuarter millions in the past twelve months. The number of fires was wen reduced by 1O1O over the pre- 1iCug year.
 The reason for this checking of wnste can be attributed to preventive mnaaurag and is in the report held to be duo to the systematic extension of tra pravnntlon, monthly inspection by Iremen and the potent influence of ne Fire college ana the School of instruction in training nremen. This
 record Chat speaks for itself and lainrurfrateg thnt every effort that is nnde in hehnlf 1f prevention Is well MMmL

LETTERS TO THE EDIToR
Prohihition in Denver.

MT. Editor: The Wall Street Jour nal contains the following statement from W. J. Barker. vice president and general manager of the Denver Gas & Electric Light Co. Such a statement from hard-headed business man ought to settle definitely the question of prohibition in Denver.
 The putting out of business of so many saloons was regarded as a. se- rious matter at first, but by careful checking we have discovered that practically every place formerly run as a bar is now being used by some other business and in many cases the consumption of gas and electric cur rent is greater than under former con- ditions.
 T was asked recently why our cur rent sales were so large when there were no bars at night for the men to frequent. My guess was that the men who formerly spent the evening at the bars now stayed at home. sat up late at night reading and drinking root beer
