ans party at this juncture nuis-
ance and nuisance not only uncalled

Until the National Woman's party
took to raising heb, the suffrage
movement in America had a bright
outlook. English women had got
their way by knocking off agitating
ard devct'ng themselves to war
work American women had the
anne opportunity. 1t was even sug-
gezgted here and there in America
that it might pay to givt women the
vote as a war measure in order to
end the controversy and release en-
ergies that might be profitably en-
ployed in war work. Now with the
~ W. P. raising hob when hob is
last wanted, the originatora of that
suggestion may be sorry they spoke.
They do not see that war work would
gain anything by releasing the en-
ergies of the y. w. P. They are de-
termined that these mad sisters of

defeating them involves defeating re-

A WORD TO THE GERMAN PEO-
nj

This is not the war of the German
people, but of the Prussian autocra-
cy. Let the German people set up a
government of their own, and then
let that government either fight or
makes peace. "A revolutionary move
ment in Germany would probably be
the most wholesome thing in modern
history, although there is no present
sign of it. AS the war goes into the
winter, military operations will prob
ably be much diminished But war
preparation in America and elsewhere
viii be pushed through the winter
with unremitting zeal. The German
people have been promised by their
rulers, favorable peace before the
approaching Christmas. When, how.
ever the German people find that
their rulers have deceived them, would
it not be we'll for them to devote a
winter to political reform at home,
with the growing certainty that peace
can come by that path, if by no 9th.
er? Since Germany's Social Demo
Gratis have also been disappointed in
the hope that Stockholm conferences
would unite the "proletariat' of all
nations in an irresistible demand for
peace, why can they not see that their
chief duty lies at home, and that the
supreme salvation of Germany and of
Europe calls for a democratic control
of the German government and its
policies Review of Reviews.

BRITAIN DOING WELL.

There are people prone TO remark
that Great Britain is not doing her
share Of the fighting 1t is only fair
that it should be pointed out that
British troops in France are six to
one as compared with all overseas
troops. In the Ypres-Lens fighting
the British casualties have been nine
to one overseas. Naturally more
prominence is given in Canadian pa
.pers to the great deeds performed by
canaiians than to the splendid work

Atlanta, Ca DR.. Jacobson said In
recent interview that 80 per cent. of
enema comes from nervous break
down which can only be corrected by
supplying the necessary phosphates
to the nervous system that is lacking
in the food you eat, and this can
be quickly supplied by taking one or
two 5-grain Argo-Phosphate tablets
after each meal, and at bed time. 1t
will in many cases make a pale

SPECIAL NOTICE. The Argo-
Phosphate recommended by DR.. F. Fl.
Jacobson contains phosphates such
as are prescribed by leading physi-
clans throughout the world, and it will
be found the most effective form for
treating patients with Nervous Dys-
pepsia, Stomach troubles, Brain Fag,
