Wheat and Milk for Children.

New YORK, Jan. 30. If the people of
this country would reduce the cost of

how to live, according to-Prof. Irving

simple life no one would complain of the

4 COMBINATION
THAT WORKS WELL
Doing an Immense Amount Of Good.

No other medicines possess such
curative properties as these two great
restoratives, Hoods Sarsaparilla and
Peptiron Pills, working together.
They reach the impure, impover-
ished, poisoned devitalized blood, and
the worn, rundown, overworked, ex.
hausted system. They awaken the
appetite, aid digestion, purify and
vitalize the blood, give renewed
strength to the whole body, produce
invested in these two medicines will
bring better results than four dollars
spent in any other course Of treatment
or attendance.
1t will be wise to get Hoods Sarsa.
parilla and Peptiron Pills today. They
are sold by all druggists everywhere.

Don C. Seitz, publisher of the New
York World, was one of the speakers at
the recent banquet of the Portland
Economic Club, and said, among other
things. People in the shadow of the
great cities are apt to look with dispar-
agement upon the papers in the smaller
cities. They should cor slider that the
local press is a defense against the out
side competition. He then cited in
starces of papers receiving the support
and backing of merchants and of having
a great position in the community in
spite of outside competition He said
the citizens should stand back of the
paper in their community, and pointed
out that the newspaper is what the peo-
Pile want it to be.

Since writing the paragraph in last
week s Journal on the revival of the old
smokehouse we have heard of one Bel
fast family who have home cured bacon
and ham, using sugar barrel for a
smokehouse and corn cobs for fuel.
They also have homemade head cheese
such as our gra ndmothers used to make,
and pigs feet that are not all skin and
bones. 1t makes one envious to hear of
such things in these days of high priced,

Earl Cromer, who died suddenly in
London Jan. goth, was for half a GEN.
fury public servant of England, and is
spoken of as a statesman, business man,
diplomatist and militarist of great judg-
ment. The following paragraphs from
an obituary in the Boston Transcript are
OF special interest at this time:
Lord Cromer, as Captain Evelyn Bar
ing, visited this country in 1865 and Joined
Grants army, His activities did not
permit him to come again. OF that sole
visit he said. last year: Il knew the
men of Grants great army fifty years
ago. 1t was made up of fine fellows. l.
was immensely struck by its psychology
of justice and determination. They were
filled with the spirit of carrying through
those things which they had undertaken
after having reached the full conviction
of their undeniable propriety.
They were your people then. and a
better people never lived. | have not
visited your country since then, but | re-
main entirely confident of the splendid
nature of your destiny. do not think
those men ever would have stood by
quietly while Belgium was ravaged, nor
would they have remained quiescent after
the destruction of the Lusitania.
Il believe the action, or more accurate
ly the inactivity of your President, will
do America more harm in the worlds
eyes and IN he, own psychology than any,
thing Which ever has occurred to her.
If Mr.. Wilson had but spoken! have
no thought that America should have en-
tered the war, but the moral influence of
her expressed disapproval of Germany
AM her approval of the cause of the
Allies would have been powerful.
81 believe, and believe America will
learn. that it is possible to maintain
neutrality which may be too terribly ex-
pensive in the end. Suppose. for the sake
of argument, that we are crushed by vic
torious Germans. Can you doubt that
your turn will come next and be delayed
by nothing except Germany's necessities
OF time for preparation for the task?"

1t is announced from Washington that
'full diplomatic relations with Mexico
will be resumed Immediately. that an
ambassador will be sent to that country,
and it is expected that ,Carranza will
reciprocate by sending representative
to Washington. Perhaps so, now that he
has secured the withdrawal of our troops
from Mexico. When the Mexican COM
mission was organized it was confronted
by Carranza's ultimatum that our troops
must be withdrawn from Mexico, and
when the commission had agreed upon
protocol he refused to sign it because it
did not contain that provision. Now he
has had his way, and people are wonder
ing what Gen. Pershing was sent into
Mexico for.

No decided reduction in present high
prices can be looked for in the near
future, if at all, unless we should have a
protracted spell of "hard times,' which
heaven forbid. Between the demands
of organized labor and organized capt.
tai, the increasing burdens of taxation,
the added expenses of all manufacturing
and business concerns, due to the require
ments of State and National legislation;
and last, but not least, the habits of ex-
travagance which many years of pros
perity have fostered. and there is little
hope OF lower cost of living; and
now, with the prospect before US of a
foreign war, higher prices and additional
taxes must follow the beginning If hos
tilities or the preparation for war.
