Goodbye To Old Days;
Goodbye To Old Ways

When we went into the big war we
said farewell to the old days of peace
and ease.
We went into a job of hard work. 1t
was curtains and dim lights for what had
been
We said goodbye to the old ways, too.
Many of US didn't suspect at the time
that we were closing the book on things
as they were. But we were.
We will have peace some day-peace
with victory for democracy. But lot
of things we had in the peace left behind
we viii not have in the peace to come.
And most of them we will not want.
We are going to do things more eff
GENTLY in the new peace. We are going
to take better care Of ourselves. And
so. entirely aside from the great question
of world democracy, we are going to
have a better democracy among our
selves.
We are not going to stand for lot
of the robbery we used to put up with.
We are going to regulate food admins
tration for war purposes. We are going
to put the brakes on gambling in food.
Does anyone think that once having had
a theftless food market we will ever go
back 70 the old kind?
Today Uncle Sam is saying to produc-
ers of war commodities: So much shall
you charge, and no more Will Uncle
Sam ever again stand for the good old
scandals we used to read so much about?
Not if we know our uncle.
And we are learning how to eat-for
the first time in our lives. We are learn
ing to eat less and to count the cost of
what we eat. The drilling we get in
proper eating during the war will stay
with us. We will be a stronger race
when peace comes.
War is going to purge our souls. War
is going to clean US up. We have got
to be 100 per cent fit in war. We shall
remain 100 per cent fit in peace.
That will be one Of the greatest Of
wars blessings. War is the great puri-
fer in many ways. 1t is good to think
about these blessings of the peace to
come. 1t will help US thru the trials of
the war

Picketing the White
House Has Had the Effect
1t Was Intended to Have

Whether the Woman's Party policy of
picketing the White House, holding BAN
ners which tell only the truth, is a win
ming policy or not, we do not know time
will tell
The fact remains that since the crea-
ton Of the Woman's Party, presidential
suffrage has been granted in a number
eastern states and full suffrage in a
number of states in the west.
We also know that the president him
self, who has chung to the ancient myth
of state rights on the suffrage question.
tho not on prohibition, and who has Ger
tainly repudia;ed all idea Of state rights
during the last three months, has recon-
mended that a committee be appointed
to consider the federal suffrage amend
ment
The picketing policy Of the Woman's
Party was adopted in order to do exactly
what it has done-attract attention TO
the cause which the president. congress
and the majority Of the voters would
hike to forget, and give it publicity

We've Got His Number
/l--
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright 1915, by Frank Cranc)


There's no use of Mr.. Hohenzollern
carrying on any further. really. He has
only few months TO run. His date is
set.
We've got his number That's why.
A friend of mine who is strong on
prophecy has been rummaging around
in the oracles and has found out Just who
William X. Hohenzollen is, and why.
Also when he is going to get his.
There are few things you cannot prove
by the Scriptures if you set yourself to
1t. When | was a boy the Millerites had
the time of the end of the world all fig
ured out On the day fixed they settled
up their worldly affairs and adjourned
TO hill where they could have front
seats when tho Day Of Judgment opened
up. They were thus at great advan-
tage over the unbeievers who went on
with their chores as per usual.
TIL affair did not come off according to
schedule, but that was no fault of theirs.
They had used the wrong timetable.
There is a sect also that predicted the
end Of the world in 1914, and | knew a
man who sold his farm in Illinois and
went out to Colorado to be ready for the
grand smash-up. These believers camo
pretty close to making good guess, too.
If 1t wasn't the Day of Judgment that
hit US in 1914 1t was a little too much
like it for comfort.
But to return TO Mr.. Fl. My friend
writes me and SAYS that if we will read
the fourth. fifth and eighteenth verses
OF the thirteenth chapter of Revelation
we will find out just where William the
Terrible is going to get of. These verses
run as follows lin case you do not have
your Bible handy:
Fourth-And they worshipped the
dragon which gave powes unto the
beast; and they worshipped the
beast, saying: Who is like unto the
beast? Who is able to make war
with him?
Fifth-And there was given unto
him n mouth speaking great things
and blasphemies, and power was Civ
en- unto him TO continue forty and
two months
Eighteenth-Herei Is wisdom. Let
him that hath understanding count
the number Of the beast for II is
the number Of a man and his num-
Der Is six hundred threescore and
six.
Now. when the war started William
was fifty years and six months old. i.
That Is, Coo months
Figures cannot lie. You cannot es-
cape the conclusion that the original and
only genuine Coo is Mr.. Hohenzollern, be-
cause he is so feelingly and fifty describ-
ed in verses four and five.
He is going to last for forty-two
months. There Is therefore no need OF
specializing as to when the war will end.
1t began in August, 1914, and it will
close in just forty-two months from that
time-that is. in February, 1918, for il
plainly says in verse FIVE that power was
given to the beast to continue forty and
two months

It's the Frills We Are
Paying For Dearly. and Z
They're Not NOurishing

Time was when we went 10 the gro
Gerry store and bought our tea, coffee, oat-
meal, or whatever it might be, in bulk,
done up, often rudely, in brown paper
bundles.
Time was when housewives of the
upper crust variety went to market with
baskets on their arms and bought straw.
berries out Of big tray scooped up with
a wooden paddle, putting them in THEN
own baskets with a bit of paper TO keep
the dust off.
Time was when the milk man came
around with a big bell and ladled out
the milk by the pint or quart into pail
or pitcher which mother or sister, or the
housekeeper or the hired girl hastily
snatched and carried to the horse block.
Time was when the ice man gave our
chunk of ice a mighty shove UP the front
walk and it could melt away on be car
ried in by a member of the family, which
ever suited US best.
We are not saying that those were
better times, or that food was cared for
with the same scrupulous attention TO
sanitary ideals.
But we DO say that they were cheap
er times and that more people per cubic
yard had food enough to fill their stom-
achs than have now, and perhaps the
insanitariness of those days is more
than equaled by the hamilton, caused by
lack of food, which looks at US now from
a thousand faces.
With the best intention imaginable, we
made laws and regulations which boxed
bottled and sealed most of our food sup
plies in fancy boxes, bottles and pack
ages.
With the best intention, butchers
wrapped their meat in parafine paper and
next in more papers sufficiently good for
the most dainty and delicate dry goods.
This is all very fine and We have be-
come accustomed to throwing the boxes,
bottles and papers in the waste basket
and on the ash heap with no concern
whatever, forgetting that we, ourselves,
have paid just that much extra for this
waste material and that we are throw
ing away our substance
We like our bottled milk.
We believe that it is better for our
babies.
Also, it is easier to have the milk man
tramp up three fights of stairs to the
fourth floor fiat than to go out and get
It or to buy 1t at central station.
But the high cost of living reckons
with these things.

It is YOU, the ULTIMATE CONSUMER,

 Barclay kept a diary of his trip, and it tells wonderful story. Many times his life was m danger. He came across samples of quartz which were extremely rich, but so surrounded by ice fields that no one else ever visited them. At one place he camped near a lake. He was awakened from sleep by terrible roaring sound, and saw a sight permitted to few. An im- mense lake stretching before him sud- denly disappeared. It was one of the lakes that are continually forming in the glaciers, only to break loose when the ice gives way. A few hours be- fore he had been in the track of the raging flood.
 Barclay had prospected nearly the whole coast of Alaska.

The following incident is related in the Dawson News by Edward $. Clode writing from "Woodcutters' Camp, Little Twelvemile, klondike River:
 "A curious accident happened on the Little Twelvemile, on the Klondike river, about four miles above the hay ranch. The story will surprise many trapper and hunter. It is that of the action of wolverine. It appears a woodcutter who is well known was over his trap line when a wolverine appeared at the cabin and, finding no ope around, started to hunt around
 The first thing he found was a sack and a half of four. This not being up to his taste, he threw it all over the place. Then he found a few dish es, and threw them into the fire. Not being satisfied with that, he took down a rife which was loaded and put it nto the fire, stock first. and left it until it was red hot and then it exploded.
