A Kings Treasure
It was while treasure hunting that
the priests found among the silver
and gold of the temple the better
riches of the Book of the Law. Jo-
siah had been instituting reforms,
as last weeks lesson showed, and IN
the progress of the work this paru-
cular and precious roll--possloly the
original; certainly a special ana au-
thoriZed copy-was unearthed. Ihe
discovery recalls the principle that
we get light as we go on; the con-
verse of which is that every outy
we omit obscures some truth we
should have known" Because the
temple had been neglected, its guild
ance had been lost.
Some of us cherish the hope that
after Jerusalem passes out or the
mower of the Turk there will be mo-
mentous discoveries in the suoter-
ranean chambers and passages of
Mount Zion. Many priceless treas
ures that have been lost may be re-
covered. What if the Ark of the
Covenant should be found?

arts there are, also, and lost peo-

day, as in Josiah's time; preacher
rescued one from an ash barrel, and
it now adorns the pulpit of a great
New York church. Some Bibles are
lost in the bottoms of trunks and in
garrets; and some are effectively
lost in glass cases and on parlor ta-
bles. In every case it is a dire ca
lamity when a person or a people
lose the Bible.

Troop l6 Scouts on
Hike to Clark's Ferry

Troop 16 of the Bethlehem Lu-
theran Church, with Charles Mehr-
ing, third assistant scoutmaster in
charge of thirteen Boy Scouts, left
Harrisburg Saturday morning for a
hike to Clark's Ferry bridge, taking
the car to Marysville and starting
their hike from there.
They arrived at their destination
after a delightful walk about noon;
they then had a good swim and a
fine time preparing lunch. After
lunch and a good rest they hiked
back to Marysville, arriving home
about 7.30 p. m.
All the scouts were enthusiastic
over the hike and are looking for

the city. Without organization little
would be done looking towards the adj

in a civic way. s
Second do not belong to the Com

profits therefrom, but on the other
hand because of the indirect pronts
that all business enterprises in the
city will share from the general
growth of the city as we'll as the com

STICKS TO MILITIA.

There is little hope of the universal
military training bill passing at this
session Of Congress. The Chamber
lain bill, which provides for this
plan, will be discussed because the
administration is not yet convinced
of the failure of the militia as sec
ond line of defense.
1t is expected the national guard
will be recruited up to it's full
strength to meet the needs of nation.
al defense, and that it will be mo-
bilized to protect harbors, coasts, rail
roads and other strategic points.
Universal compulsory military
training is expected to be one Of the
results Of the present war situation.
There are a few people who think
law of this character may be JAM
med through Congress before March
4. 1t may be said positively, how
ever, that such is not President Will
sons plan.
The President is not yet committed
to the CONSUMPTION idea. The annual
report made by Secretary of War
Baker voiced the opinion of the Presi.
dent. to the effect that the national
guard had not had full opportunity to
show what 1t could do in the Mex
lean border mobilization, and the
President further made his opinion
clear when he talked last week to
the delegation from Maryland who
came to urge universal military ser.

sion we're notably sharp and the dele
cation went away feeling their
knuckles had been raped. .. 49,
President Wilson scored the cock
sureness of the critics of the national
guard and made it clear that he still
believes in the volunteer system.
Under the stimulus of national
crisis, as will exist in case of war
with Germany, it is the administra-
tons belief that there will be no lack
of volunteers and that the national
guard can be recruited to it's full mil
itary strength in less than 80 days.
The Mexican fiasco evidently has
taught the administration nothing.
Doubtless extreme necessity is the
only spur that will bring about real
ization of our opera bouffe army.

GRANDMA NEVER LET

She kept Her Locks Dark and Glossy
With Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, mo one can
tell, because it's done SO naturally,
so evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at heme is mussy and trouble
some, For SO cents you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use prep:
aration, improved by the addition OF
other ingredients, called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small. strand at a
time. By morning all gray hair disap-
pears, and. after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
darkened, glossy and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is sign of old age, and as we
a.. desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger. This ready
to-use preparation is a delightful tot

ton or prevention Of disease.

our honor and Saved our face and
that we now should meet Germany
half way in efforts to avoid war and
get back on friendly footing.
1t is not likely that the President
will be misled by an argument which
is so obviously fallacious.
We took high moral ground, as we'll
as the only ground consistent with
our dignity and selfrespect as ma
ton when we severed diplomatic re.
lauons with Germany.
Our action was not taken on i'm
pulse; without full consideration be
ing given to the probability that it
would lead to armed conflict
This probability did not deter us,
much as we abhor war
1t would be greater mistake from
the standpoint Of present and future
safety of the nation, to step back
ward one inch from the position we
have taken than to force war with
Germany because of the many tech
nical violations of international law
and her pledges to us Of which she
has been guilty during the past few
weeks
If Germany wants the friendship of
the United States she can have it by
conducting herself as a civilized ma
ton; as we would conduct ourselves
in case Of war or under any other
circumstances.
There can be no compromise terms.

LET US HAVE A ROAD.

The only road that should be built
to the river is the best road. 1t was
hoped that some definite action could
be taken before this, but at every
turn the problem becomes more and
more complex.
Now it seems the latest stumbling
block is financial one. There is
only $500 with which to build road
that will cost from $1,000 to $1,000.
Surely way can be found out OF
the predicament, when the necessity
for q good road to the river is so urg-
emf,
It'll the past the city fathers have
bean lble to juggle accounts to meet
AM emergency and if an emergency
ever existed it exists now as regards
approaches to the river.
The Tribune is not the advocate of
any special route to the river. 1t
wants the best possible thoroughfare;
one that will be passable in winter,
as we'll as in summer.
1t is proposed now to expend $500
on the present road merely to correct
some Of the dangerous curves and
wAeR the new budget is made up
next fall to place sufficient funds at
the disposal of the street depart
ment to build an adequate road.
Better still, to find way now.

CAN'T BACK DOWN.

President Wilson broke with Ger
many because the kaiser and his ad
visors, after months of calculation
and deliberation, decided on ruth
less submarine policy in defiance Of
international law and our indisput
able rights as a neutral nation.
Had the President failed to do what
he did, after he had told Germany
that he would do it, following the tor
pedoing of the Sussex, last April. he
would have pleaded guilty to a de-
gree of cowardice and weakness on
the part of this country which would
have made every American with a
drop of patriotic blood in his veins,
hang his head in shame.
Now I'VE are Informed that the kai.
ser has called council of the mill
tary and diplomatic leaders of the
empire to reconsider the submarine
orders with a view to making them
less obnoxious to neutral nations, es.
pecially the United States.
1t is intimated that the kaiser was
greatly shocked and surprised that
President Wilson took the drastic ac-
ton that he did and that he is anx-
riOus, not only to avoid war with the
United States, but to 60 more than
half way in an effort to resume friend
ly relations.
We haven't the slightest idea what
concessions, if any, Germany will Of
fer in exchange for American friend
ship and good will.
We have let Germany know il Ian
guage that cannot be misunderstood
that there can be no negotiations with
her until she has absolutely and with
out qualification revoked her orders
for ruthless submarine warfare and
has given us her pledge that she will
conduct her warfare on both land
and sea in conformity with in.erIa-
tional and humane laws and with re-
spect to the rights of neutral ma
tions.
Our position is that we cannot se-
sumo friendly relations with ratio2
that refuses to agree not to kill Amer.

THE ENEMY OF URIC
ACID IS ANUR|C
10y L. n. Smith, N. D.)

In spite of the best care one takes
of oneself, any part of the human ma
chine is liable to become out of order.
The most important organs are the
stomach, heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers
and they work day and night in sep
arating the poisons from the blood.
Their signals of distress are easily
recognized and include such symp-
toms as backache, depressions, drows-
mess, irritability, headaches, dizzi-
ness, rheumatic twinges, dropsy, govt
The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state is to
drink plenty of pure water and OBJ
tain a small amount of Anuric, which
is dispensed by most every druggist.
Anuric double strength) is inexpen-
sive and should be taken before
meals. 1t is much more potent than
lithia and many find that Anuric dis
solves uric acid as water does sugar.
People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, just as
do the bowels, need to be flushed &C.
casionally. The kidneys are an elm
NATIVE organ and are constantly
working, separating the poisons from
the blood. Under this continual and
perpetual action they are apt to con-
gest, and then trouble starts. Uric
acid backs up into the system. caus-
ing rheumatism, neuralgia, dropsy,
and MANY serious disturbances. It
means that you are victim to uric
acid poisoning. Then ask your drug

covered by DR.. Pierce of the Surgical
