in detail and explaining the requi-
sites for making a loan, the coop
erative nature of the system and the
great benefit it would pe to the
farmer of the parish Who took ad-
vantage OF the opportunities Offer
ed. He went on to say, however,
that the United States did business
in a business way and no money
would be lent foolishly or unguard-
eddy. Every borrower would be
compelled to comply with the law.
The terms on which the money was
borrowed were easy, but they must
be fulfilled. Any farmer who had
the security could borrow money, ii
it was to be used ligitimately for
the purposes of the farm, or stock
raising or. the improvement of farm
property. But money borrowed
could not be used for purposes for

the guarantees exchanged must
neither recognize nor imply differ

those that are weak. Right must be

the nations upon whose concant
peace will depend. Equality OF ter

cannot be; nor any other sort OF
equality not gained in the ordinary
peaceful and legitimate development
Of the peoples themselves. But NJ

can last, or ought to last, which
does not recognize and accept the
principle that governments derive
all their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed, and that no
right anywhere exists to hand peo-
Piles about from sovereignty to SOW
ereignty as il they were property.
l take it for granted, for insance,
if l may venture upon single ex-
ample, that statesmen everywhere
are agreed that there should be a
united, Independent and autonom-
GUS Poland, and that hencefOrth in
violable security of life, or worship,
and of industrial and social develop
ment should be guaranteed to all
peoples who have lived hitherto I'M
der the power of governments de-
voted to a faith and purpose hostile
to their own.
Il speak of this, not because of
any desire to exalt an abstract politi-
cal principle which has always been
held very dear by those who have
sought to build up liberty in Ameri-
ca, but for the same reason that l
have spoken of the other conditions
of peace which seem to me clearly
spensible-because l wish frank
ly to uncover realities.
"Any place which does not rec
ognize an daccept this principle will
inevitably be upset. It will not rest
upon the affections or the convic-
tions of mankind. The ferment Of
spirit of whole populations will fight
subtly and constantly against it, and
all the world will sympathize. The
world can be at peace only it its life
is stable, and there can be no. sta bill

where there is not tranquility of

dom and of right.

every great people now struggling
towards a full development of its

this cannot be done by the cession OF

the naturalization of direct rights

THE HABIT OF TAKING COLD.

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take a cold sponge
every morning when you first get
out of ,bed-not ice cold, but tenn
perature of about 80 degrees F..
Also sleep with your windows up.
Do this and you will seldom take
cold. When you do take cold take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
get rid Of it as quiskly as possible.

BAD HABITS.

Those who breakfast at s o'cloc]
or later, lunch at IL and have Dime,
at are almost certain to be troub--
ed with Indigestion. They do not al
low time for one meal to digest be-
fore taking another. Not less than
five hours should elapse between
meals. II you are troubled with in
digestion correct your habits and
take Chamberlain Tablets, and you
may reasonably hope for a quick re-
covery. These tablets strengthen
the stomach and enable it to perform
it's functions naturally. Obtainable
everywhere.

ARE YOU LOOKING OLD?

Old age comes quick enough with
out inviting it. Some look old at
forty. That is because they neglect
the liver and bowels. Keep your
bowels regular and your liver healthy
and you will not only feel younger
but look younger. When troubled
with constipation or biliousness take
Chamberlain Tablets. They are n
tended especially for these ailments
and are excellent. Easy to take anG
most agreeable in effect. Obtain
