Let Us Stand Solidly
Behind President Wilson
Because He's For Peace!

President Wilson has the country with
him.
Having taken the only step left to him
to take, and acted as Germany was in
formed in the Sussex note he would act.
the people Of the country are behind him
BECAUSE HE Is FOR PEACE.
II was an easy matter for the president
10 direct that passports be handed the
German ambassador and to order the re-
call OF our own ambassador in Germany.
Both of these were steps calculated to
have their effect in bringing about the
success Of the plan by vhich President
Wilson very evidently hopes TO keep us
out of war
: These were steps taken to impress II
upon Germany that the United States
meant business when it uttered It's warn
ina in the Sussex note. and means bust
mes now.
The president believes-his address =
the senate proves it and his manner
proves it-that Germany has only to be
convinced Of our earnestness and her an
nounced policy of a relentless and illega!
campaign with her submarines will be
abandoned before an American ship has
been harmed and before an American life
has been lost.

Sixty Hours at Ordinary Pulpit
Rate, Says DR.. Morgan.

DR.. Campbell Morgan, lecturing re-
Gently at Sheffield, arrested his audi

Bible may be read through at ord.-

weeks, giving an hour and half each
day."
In proof, Doctor Morgan told good
story, When staying in New York
his host, the manager of the Manhat-
tan bank, challenged the doctors
statement.
Il asked him to try It," said DR..
Morgan, humorously adding, for it
would at least get my friend through
his Bible once"
Some time after the banker met
Doctor Morgan, and. referring to the
challenged statement. said: You

How far was | out?" asked the
doctor.

SHOULD EAT MORE SALAD
People Would Enjoy Better Health If
Delicacy Were Part Of the
Everyday Menu.

Probably no detail Of the French
menu Is so important to us as the
salad. Very few American families
know what an invaluable delicacy q
genuine French salad, with q dressing
of good olive oil and pure, fragrant
vinegar, is-invaluable, because of its
effect on digestion and health.
There is very little nourishment In
salad leaves until the oil has been
added, and the oil is what many Of us
need, according to doctors who de-
plore the insufflciency of fat in the
average Americans diet
1t is excluded therefrom for the
very good reason that the average
American finds 1t difficult to digest.
But 1t is right there that the salad
comes to the rescue.
The vinegar in it, II genuine, excites
by its fragrance and acidity the d..
gestive glands not only in the mouth
and stomach, but IN the pancreas,
which acts on all the constituents Of
food. particularly the fats
There would be vastly less intestinal
indigestion in this country If every
family followed the French custom O.
eating salad at least once E daT.

The First Country Theater.

The Agricultural College of Fargo,
N. D., has opened what is said to be
the first little country theater in the
United States. The performances are
to be given by students, former stu
dents and neighbors. Interesting, sig
nificant, short plays, American and
European, are to be produced in this
little theater and the successful pieces
are to be taken ION the road" and
given in other towns and villages in
the state.
That this will promote neighborli-
ness, true community life, social inter-
course and wholesome recreation,
hardly needs emphasizing. Fargo may
be proud of its idea, its example.
There are few rural communities in
which little enterprise and coopera-
ton, with perhaps little aid from
the extension department of the state
university, could not make life pleas
anter and give it zest, variety and new
meaning-Chicago Record-Herald.
