WHY WE ARE AT WAR

Our government did not declare war on Germany II
declared that state of existed because Germany was
J already committing acts Of war on US
Germany was sinking American ships and droyning
American citizens and declared her intention Of 50 copn
! ung to do
Germany was paying agents to burn and DESTROY Amer
lean factories
Germany was trying to ncite Mexico and Japan to
! fight us. '"'"" ~
Germany was filling country-even OR goyarpps,,
ohces-with spies and hostile agitators who set criminal
tntrlgues everywhere afoot"
IF WE ARE BEATEN, WHAT HAVE WE A RIGHT
TO EXPECT?
"hat Germany has already inflicted ON conquered neona
Towns laid waste; homes desoIated
Men driven into slavery
Women driven into slavery-worsa than sIa,.a
huge hdemhes that shall cripple al industry
The loss of personal freedom.
In Germany the people exist for the sake Of military lss
IN America the army exists for the sake Of the peope
The Kaiser declared Nothing more henceforth NAV ha
settled in the world without the intervention Of German
and the German Emperor"
President Wilson says We must make the world f
for democracy"
THAT Is WHAT THIS WAR MEANS. |

Good, Hearty Laughter.

Hygienic experts can say what they
like, but they will never compose diet
or discover a better health promoter
than good, hearty laughter.
Laughter carries everything before
it. 1t sweeps away the blues" shakes
up the old bones and stirs new life
into every corner Of the brain.
1t fills the lungs with good, pure,
new air and drives out all the bad, i'm
pure breath. 1t is the worlds friend
and one of the few human characters
tics which are universal.
Promote real laughter, the genuine
result of humorous incidents; not gig
giles, sickly smiles or sardonic and sar'
castle grins, but honest, open, whole
hearted laughter
That's the only royal road to health.
London Opinion.

FISH AS A FOOD.
Not Nearly Enough of Il Is Used In
This Country


The average American eats twenty
pounds Of fish a year This includes
oysters, clans, crabs, lobster, shrimp
and mussels. One dietary authority
states, according to Leslie's Weekly,
that 200 miles inland from our three
coasts the consumption of fish food per
person is less than half pound annu-
T.
zach inhabitant of the British isles
rs fish OH his bill of fare to the ex-
tent of 100 pounds every twelve
months, while the fish consumption per
capita in Germany is 100 pounds; Hol-
land, 1870 pounds; Norway. Sweden and
Denmark, 100 pounds; China, 225
pounds, and Japan, nearly 500 pounds.
Latin Americans are the only people
who eat less fish than do the inhabit-
ants of the United States.
There is absolutely no sane argument
against the larger and more extensive
use of fish as daily diet throughout
the length and breadth of this land. 1t
is ideal as a food. It is highly nutri-
tious and rich in proteins, 1t is most
easily digested. 1t contains in great
abundance the chemical ingredients for
making bone, muscle and tissue. AS
food nothing detrimental can possibly
be said against it, Fish, with the excep.
tion of few species, are clean feeders.

ties, and recently considerable amount
of evidence In behalf of this hypothesis
has been presented by c. f. thinner.
He has compiled list of the known
lron-containing meteorltes, nearly all
accumulated within the past century.
and he shows from these alone about
250 tons of iron might be obtained. or
this amount more than 80 per cent IS
malleable, consisting of nickel iron
alloy. He also shows by means Of a
series of illustrations how easy it is to
detach from the meteorites fragments
Of iron suitable for Use as tools or i'm
plements when mounted in handles.
Thus 1t seems fairly probable that
widespread use may have been made Of
meteoritic iron in prehistoric times
At the time of the Spanish conquest Of
Mexico the Aztecs had iron knives and
daggers, which, they declared, had been
obtained from he sky. Moreover, the
use of meteoritic iron by EskimOs and
American Indians is matter of recent
