It is sometimes said that human
life when measured in dollars, is very
cheap. But thirty months ago 34O,-
100000 people started a great kill
ing and up to date, under the most
modern and scientific planning these
millions have managed to- kill A.
795, Zoo of their brothers, but it has
cost these nations $12,6 per man
killed. 1t has left on their hands
II 1865, 200 cripples with a worlds
debt of $60,725, 100000 for the un-
born generations to pay, nothing set
tied, but blood lust to be satiated,
and apparently 33O,000,O00 of peo-
pie near starvation. When the War
God acts upon fool men, he makes
them look cheap in the light of rea-
son.

in the dining room. The manse is truly |
an ideal home in every way. Good |

is tee equal in points of beauty and
comfort of any home in the city.
