signed statement recently re-
ceiyed from Mrs. George
Woodbury., 4 French Street,
Lynn, Mass.
Cuticura Soap, to cleanse, purify
and beautify, Cuticura Ointment
to soften, soothe and heal, have
been most successful in the
severest forms of skin and scalp
troubles, but greater still is what
they have done in preserving
clear skins, clean scalps and good
hair as well as in preventing little
skin troubles becoming great ones.
Cheap soaps, harsh soaps, coarse,
strongly medicated soaps are re-
sponsible for half the skin troubles
in the world. Stop the use of all
doubtful soaps. Use Cuticura for
all toilet purposes.

A ONE-SIDED PEACE.

NH JILL the United States and Germany go to war!
VNV| That query is in many minds
" Technically the two countries are at war.
The advantage is all on the side of Germany because
there has been formal declaration for there is little
that nation could do under declaration than it has
done without it.
The United States suffers under fiction of peace be-
cause it observes the rules of peace.
But to all mtents and purposes it is Germany
has instituted effective blockade commerce
though there had been declaratonand, too, in the
face of declaration that American citizens and Aer
can shipping, egmaely engaged should enjoy the free
dom of the seas.
Germany has destroyed American property has dsre-
grded the rights of American citizens under treaties has
compelled the lowering of the American flag Brussels
has in effect made prisoners of Americans in Germany
has made offensive advances to representatives
Berlin and has been interested in stirring up trouble for
in Mexico and in Cuba.
What more could Germany do under declaration of
granting that the shipping of this country continued
to remain off the ocean? About the only further step
would be INVASION and that hardly probable under any
circumstances.
In view Of this condition of affairs the question arises
Would it not be preferable to have actual condition Of
and be done with it, since all efforts to continue
peaceful footing with Germany have been rejected
and have signaly failed?
Can we on with species of false pacics and main
tain that character of national dignity and self respect to
which President Wilson has made reference?
Shall continue to be menaced and nsulted and tied
hand and foot by a one-sded peace?

Perhaps the best evidence that the
public favors the plan to make our post

which means their removal from politics,
is the fact that there was no roll call on
