MAKE CORELLl ATTACKS POTATO.
Marie Corelli, the celebrated and at times
rather peppery English novelist, in an
musing TRADE recently attacked the potato
violently, or rather, all Englishmen and
women that mourn the present scarcity and
dearness of this vulgar tuber. In the col
umns of the Pail Mall Gazette. Miss Cor
ELI reminded all these unworthy Britons
that Henry VIII, "a goodly king, ate greed
lily, drank heavily, married profusely, but
never a potato adorned his grooming ban
|quet board" Agincourt was not fought on
the potato. Shakespeare struggled up to
manhood and probably wrote Hamlet with
out n potato baked, boiled or fried. But
her strongest argument is against the 'po-
tato belly" There l. such a thing" writes
Miss Corelli, "and il is not at all a de-
sirable ornament. Women who wish to
keep graceful, svelte figures, never eat
potatoes" The German figure, notorious
lly the butt of the unkind caricaturiSt, j. a
horrible example of what the potato, if al
lowed 10 flourish in all It's malignant pow
er, can do To the unwary.

If the war does not interfere, another
great water carnival will be held in Homo
lulu early next summer, and in this carm-
val women swimmers will take a consplc-
uous place. All the notable American mer-
maids will be there, including Miss Olga
|Dorfner of Philadelphia, Miss Claire Gal

els of San Francisco and Miss Dorothy
Burns of Los Angeles. OF especial inter
est besides Is the expected entry Of Miss
Fannie Durack, of Australia, holder Of
most of the worlds swimming records for
women and admittedly the fastest all
around mermaid ever developed. Her pres
ence at the meet will give the American
stars the first opportunity 10 test their
skill against that of the Australian, and
keen racing should result at the shorter
distances, for the American girls have done
30 yards in Al good time AZ their great
rival, and Miss Dorfner has also turned
100 yards within an ace of the latter
hest mark.

WAKING UP
Gardner Of Massachusetts, Makes
Stirring Speech Today on Topic
Of Approach Of War.

limited Press Leased Wire Serv1cel
WASHINGTON; Feb. 15.-Repre-
sentative Gardner, Massachusetts, to-
day called upon the government to
furnish armament for American mer-
chant ships He declared that II arma-
ment Is not given Americas merchant
fleets then the navy department
should furnish conveys.
Gardner denounced VIM. Jennings
Bryan for conducting campaign that
appeals to the cowardice which turks
in every mans breast-a coWardlce
which is the result OF the strongest Of
human instincts, the instinct OF SELF
preservation.
The Massachusetts, representative
attacked Representative Moore, also
republican, Of Pennsylvania, who re-
Gently declared, British coloring OF
the news is responsible for the war
like spirit against Germany. He
scathingly attacked Germany for Its
unheard of barbarity and frighttulness
toward noncombatants."
Reviewing the course of events that
led up to the break in relations with
Germany, Gardner declared:
There the situation now rests. but
it cannot continue to rest long. 1t
has speedily become apparent that
American merchant ships are unwili-
ing TO face the terror Of German sub
marine warfare unless they are FUR
nfshed with some means OF defense. i
"The Bryan followers are the paci-
fists, the extreme socialists and those
who place loyalty to Germany above
loyalty to America
1.-THE cowardice Of the Bryan appeal
! is that they glorify their act by call
ing 1t good will toward men ana
timidly they have rechristened II
service to humanity
"They are trying to goad the peo-
pie into a campaign in which Glass
will be arrayed against class and race
will be arrayed against race. Smooth
| toneued speakers are to be employed
and trenchant pens are to be sharp
! ened.
"Perchance foreign gold may be
spent, who knows?"
Then when the nation Is success
fully split into two halves animated
by hatred OF each other. rather than
| by Joint hatred of foreign foe, when
our courage is at the lowest ebD,
when our righteous indignation has
been sufficiently aspersed, then we
are to vote on the question OF peace
or war.
''If the vote be for peace we are to
submit to any indignities rather than
strike back

The Easiest Way
To End Dandru

There is one sure way that never
10 remove dandruff completely and
Is to dissolve it. This destroys Il !
tirely. To do this, just get about
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid ~
apply it at night when retiring
enough to moisten the scalp and u
in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning most, if not ALL Of
dandruff will be gone, and three q
more applications will completely
solve and entirely destroy every
sign and trace of it. no matter now
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itchhs
digging of the scalp will stop i rs.
and your hair will be fluffy, ns'
glossy, SILKY and soft, and look a'a
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon At a1y
store. It is inexpensive, :, ana
ounces is all you will need Inns

The penalty for violation OF the az.
is to be fine OF $4,000. or Two years

Printing political advertisements,
with the words paid advertisement
in twelve-point caps above 1t Is, under
the proposed law, the act OF gentie-
man and law-abiding citizen; tn 9
publisher may perform it and SILL
wear the white flower of q blameless
life; but we shudder to think OF the
degree OF moral turpitude connected
We think that's the WORLDLY the
printing OF those same words IN
twelve point lower case. Or ten-point
caps. For such villainy the peniten-
tiary yawns expectant.
The requirement that publisher
who accepts any political advertise
ments shall accept all violates the rlsnt
of a publisher to shape the character
os HE icu:cs! to sui: It's politics :2s
ideals. Do not enough factors operate
to produce periodicals that bore the
reader without adding to their num-
Der by act Of congress? The "usuai
rates" requirements reveals the mana
OF ignorance: there are as many dit
ferent rates for different classes OF
advertising as there are
months in the year. The provision
regarding the signing of political COM
is useless since news
paper accepts responsibility for every
thing it prints, signed and unsigned.
What purpose could it serve?

TODAY's BIT OF VERSE

SUCCESS.
My boy seek not the easy path
To get to wealth or fame, re
But earn your way in work or play,
Be worthy of your name.
He cannot keep the honors long
Who wins them by deceit,
And soon or late, the demon fate
Dethrones the cunning cheat
Success Is not sudden thing,
1t comes not over night,
Though you may see what seems TO pc
The victor in the fight
And know that little he has toiled,
His downfall Is begun,
His gold is brass, his fame will pass
II they're not fairly won.
The road is long and hard and rough
That leads to lasting Joy,
Time quickly stains what cunning gains,
Remember that, my boy.
And you must earn by honest toll
Whatever you'd possess,
It's from the heart that you must start
To be real success.

Inexnilcahla Cruelty.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: 1t is exceed
ingly difficult to fathom the kaiser's
strange policy relative to the Amer
lean relief work In Belgium. The
people OF the United States, touched
with deep sympathy for the starving
Delgians, have sent ship load after
ship lead to the desolated people and
organized, at great expense, relief
commission to distribute the food,
clothing and medicine Of many mil
lions value. This generous action
not only relieved the Belgians, but ii
also saved Germany heavy expense
from herself attempting to care for
the Belgians.
And now. the imperial government.
whose whole military policy is one Of
frightfulness, compels the American
commission to withdraw from their
great philanthropic task, thus depriv.
ing the Belgians, to some extent at
least, of source Of relief in which
they are in the direst need. We can.
not understand this awful misuse of
power. It IS not the German people
themselves. AS race they are q
kind hearted, sympathetic people.
We refuse to believe for one moment
that the great mass Of the people OF
Germany approve OF these cruel
measures Of the imperialistic militar
list group OF men now in power. The
common people OF Germany cannot
help themselves: they are in the
grasp of a dreadful military machine
from which there is no present es
cape. It is chapter of horror In
Germany's history the German people
will some day regret and repudiate.
