Ike he vas in his boyhood.
His parents christened him Isaac

But, like Thomas Woodrow Wilson

 "Then a neighbor told me of Sul- ferro-Sol and the good it had done her. so I got it and l am profoundly glad l did, for I could feel it going right through to my trouble at the very first.
 And here is what two bottles did for me. It made me so we'll and strong and so full of energy that I actually went to work here i'll the Mill, even at my age. You can see how we'll l am now, don't have a single bit of trouble with my stomach. and am doing all my own house work. do believe that Sulferro-Sol is a truly great blessing for humanity.

CROCODILE TEARS

T.. +ba latest peace chorus by the n..l;r orchestra there is a new re- t.oir [ in a key which may be desig- aatod as D minor. It is the Kaiser singing through his megaphone- M;ebaelis. "England," he sobs, "does aot desire peace by agreement or un- derstanding."
 Why should she? Facing the fourth wear of the war, England can chal- ienge Germany to show a single satis- fving reason why she should ever aoree to a bargained peace. Over northern France, Belgium and otber countries, with fire and sword, rane and rapine, Germany has written loroe for all the world to read, the reason why England cannot, why England will not, consent to a "peace by understanding.
 That charnel house, once called Poland, pilaged Serbia and Roumania, are reasons why England cannot con sent to a peace that would let the perpetrator of all those crimes go free. and enriched thereby.
 The voice of Armenia, with mil lion of its people of both sexes and all ages tortured to death, rings throughout the world. With that cry in her ears England cannot turn from her purpose to bring the criminal to justice.
 England would not be true to her self she would not be true to human ity, she would not be true to civiliza- ton if she began to bargain with this despoiler of homes and. destroyer of nations. He who sets a confirmed criminal free incurs responsibility for future crimes.
 The crimes committed by Germany are unparalleled in magnitude and horror. Not the excesses sometimes committed by men in the heat of battle are these, but wilful, deliberate crimes for three years wrecked upon inofensive peoples by order from those high in authority.
 If subject of Great Britain com mitted single one of those crimes he would be sent to the gallows. Can England stoop to negotiate with the wholesale perpetrator of crimes even while he is committing fresh atroci- ties?
 The Kaiser resembles the faded Hindu crocodile, which, after gorging itself with child, shed tears because the father, armed with a spear. re, fused any discussion of his suitability. but insisted upon putting the reptile where that part of the world would be safe for other children.
 Like that Hindu father, England, france and the United States are in thls war. not to compound crime. but 10 punish it, and make the world safe Tor all time for the children of men, Wall Street News.
