AMERCIA'S ENEMIES.

Look here, by cracky! Speak
ing Of Americas enemies, how
does this look to your glass eyei
In the same issue Of the same
paper appeared the following two
news items from ew York:
First news item
"A bread riot! Several hum
dred women, many Of them with
babies in their arms, storming the
city hall, crying give us bread!
We are starving Give us bread ~
Second news item
"Four hundred and eighty
tons Of food stuff emptied into the
sea! The food was good when it
left the farmers, but was held for
better sale till it spoiled and was
condemned by the health depart
ment."
Now, mister, if you can find
anything to head that, let's see
you trot it out. The idea of the
fetch-taked food spectators hold
ing the belly-timber in their
storehouses and demanding three
prices for it, while women and
children unable to pay such prices
were starving all around them.
And after all the crimes they
committed trying to make a big
profit on the stuff, they finally
had to lose it all. Wouldn' t it
have been a thunderation sight
better to sell it reasonably and let
the poor hungry people live?
Americas enemies7 Holy
smoke! The sneakingest German
submarine that ever nosed it's way
through salt water is white
winged angel compared to some
Of the brass-bellied speculator
sharks that operate unmolested
right here among us. If Uncle
Sam wants to bite something, why
in the blistering blazes don't he
try his tushes on something near
er home than Germany?
President Wilson congratulated
| the campaign managers upon the
: grand victory for the people. II
Mr.. Hughes had won, he would
have done the same thing. It is
gratifying to know that which
ever way an election goes it is a
, grand victory for the people. They
! simply can t lose.

the pIutes, suitably tanned, would
make good leather. Also the hide
Of the brindle jass-ack (two- limb

cow-hide.

ADAMS RIB.

"And the Lord caused a deep
sleep to fall upon Adam,' etc.,
ETC., etc. So that was the way OF
it! Well, we won't quarrel with
the ways and means, nor the
whenceness Of the where. Inspira-
ton is silent as to the kind OF
anaesthetic used to quiet the kicks
of Uncle Adam. It is enough for
us to know that a quietus Of sui
fcient magnitude was brought
about while jehovah removed the
outlet from his side, and, In the
language Of the poet, fashioned
rib into a beautiful and lovely
bride"
And / say unto you that consi-
dering the raw material and the
expenditure, the finished product
surpasses anything yet evolved.
When we contemplate what con-
fection and invention and piece
of perfection is woman, we un-
hesltatingly pronounce this rib
product far beyond even Edison s
latest. [ would still maintain this
opinion if it had taken forty
seven ribs, half the backbone, all
the eye-teeth and ten toes Of
Uncle Adam.
For verify, she maketh life in
teresting. If it was not for this
rib-product there'd be nobody to
work for, nobody to dress up for,
nobody to love, nobody to hug, no
body to kiss, for it would be a
spectacle to make angels weep to
see one man kissing another
There'd be nobody to break our
hearts, Or mend them after some
other she had broke 'em. Nobody
to blame with our shortcomings
and long goings- short, this
life would be a fiat, stale, unpro
fitable nell of hess.
Let us be duly thankful that
Adams rib was changed by {
miraculous transubstantlation in
volving the elimination of the ril
and the miraculous creation of thu
woman, into something that is a
once deliciously mysterious ane
mysteriously delicious - man''
best friend, his worst enemy, hi
monitor, servant, and worshippet
idol.

A SERMON ON SHOES.

Some consarned, contemplate
critter has smeared a lot Of Lord
what-shall-we-do-now stuff over
the front page Of an exchange
telling us that owing to the war
and the scarcity Of hides,< etc.,
We'll all be bare-footed as geese
in few months, and, 10! the
price of a pair Of shoes will be
around $4,000, or maybe more.
] One Of my neighbors, a long
gammoned, easy-going cus3, came
to me for comfort in his despair
over the shoe question. / told
him shoes could be made Of satin,
velvet, canvas or broadcloth, and
soied with "Neolin," the new
substitute for leather.
But he wants leather shoes.
| That s the way with the fool
poor folks Always wanting
something. Some Of them have
even dared assert that We ought
to have decent food, warm
clothes, and even a little happi-
ness. And all this when we know
the earth and the fulness thereof
belongs to the long-eared, pie
faced plutes!
We're a resourceful people, and
. if hide fails we will no doubt be
J able to make shoes out of old hats
} and such. OF course in summer
we can all go bare-footed with ou1
: paddles unfettered and free in the
style of primitive man, and fee
} a thrill Of pride that we are able
! to initiate our ancestors. M
|. doubt we'll feel the red-ho
, thrills of burrs, nettles, barbs
7 briers, broken bottles, etc., but WI
) must be thankful that we still
) have feet. It's wonder they
: don't amputate the feet of tn
Ipoor and stew them into gelatine
t glue, calf's 's-foot jelly or some
D thing, anyhow.
: Why, good lands Of gangrenou
b grouches, we can substitute SOM
e old thing for shoes! During tn
t Uncivil War, when the calome
/ and jalap and blue mass pills
S gave out and not dose could b
s found for love nor money, ou
d grand-dads and grand-mams boil
ed walnut roots, thickened tn
resultant horrible liquid, made
8 into pills, and produced bran
y OF bellyache that was seldo1
t. equalled and never out-done, eve
by calomel. The way that stu
tore up a-body's innards was

It use. In those days medicine ths
% didn't almost kick the huma

at We respectfully ask our graz

BAD BREATH
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get
at the Cause and Remove It

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi.
tute for calomel act gently on the bowels
and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar
coated tablets are taken for bad breath
by all who know them. ~ .~
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gently
but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any
of the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
gripping cathartics are derived from DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets without gripping,
pain or any disagreeable effects.
DR.. F. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years Of prac.
tice among patients afflicted with
bowel and liver complaint with the
attendant bad breath.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are purely
a vegetable compound mixed with olive
oil; you will know them by their olive
color. Take one or two every night for
q week and note the effect. 10c and 25c
per box. All druggists. ,.-.

PLOT TO SINK POMMERN.
Honolulu Harbor Board Reports ON
Discoveries on German Shin. y

HONOLULU. March 15.-Preparations
for hasty sinking Of the North German
Lloyd steamship Pommern in Honolulu
harbor were found by the harbor board
investigating committee. which made a
full report today of its discoveries
aboard the interned German steamer.
The committee members found no ex-
plosiyes, but declared themselves un-
convinced that there were none on the
Pommern.
After the report was made the harbor
board asked Hackfeld & Co.. agents for
the refugee German vessel. to put up
$500, 900 indemnity bond as protec-
ton to the port in case Of damage re-
sulting from the sinking or blowing
up Of any of tho German ships. This
Eackfeld g. Co. refused to do.
The harbor board was undecided as
to it's next step and will hold a special
meeting to consider the situation. The
crews are still aboard the vessels.
There has been a widespread public de-
mand that the vessel be removed from
the harbor, as they are believed to con-
stitute serious menace
