He spoke Of the relation between
the mother and the son. and the
things they created for each other.
The mother visualizes all the great
things she wants her son to be, and
the sOn-because he is obedient-
promises to realize her creations. But
If an autocrat is going to tell the
mother what field her son shall en-
ter. he is going to tear down their
buildings and crush out democracy.
That is the calamity the world now
faces: that is why America has gone
to war. The German race, the
speaker said. is imbued with the idea
Of divine appointment and is endeav-
oring to- kill democracy. Although

the Divine impulse, the call to inven-
ton, to creation. never has touched

What Victory Shows.
To show that democracy has given
the world its great changes, he delved
into history. He read from the yell
low and fr~ayed-edged book Of civili-
zation. h experiences of the men
who, In their partnership with the
Divine Force, had had the great Wis
ion and gave the world its ennobling
inventions and songs. Through all
the pages stalked Ignorance. fattening
and battening on a%utocracy, and
claiming the lowly men Of power. But,
because the men had imagination and
democratic power, civilization was ad-
vanced, and because Ignorance, still
fattening on autocracy, stalks the
world today, America and England
and France are at war to saw the
things that those men of the dim yes
teryears fought and died, fol-.
He read from this book the expert
ences Of Copernicus,,' the famous a

decade fought Ignorance before he

He then declared that if the Ameri-

fight with and would only mark time.

Mr.. Thomas then dwelt slightly
upon the idea that underlies his great

that the American nation should real

NEXT in point of danger to the best

who are absolutely disloyal, are the
men who are too ignorant of American
government to make good, safe citi-

nish the opportunity for such danger
Gus demagogues as LaFollette-to secure
a backing. Take large part of the
foreign vote, who either get no inform
alton. of the true situation or such
lying, distorted and deceiving state
ments as have been put forth by the
German language papers. 1t is these
men who very largely made up the
vote that was given LaFollette in 1916.
Many of them would be truly loyal and
vote for loyal men if they knew the
truth of things. But they are under
the influence of dishonest, disloyal
leaders and the papers who try to de-
ceive them and mislead them. In such
a case ignorance is almost as danger

THE automobile has been a blessing
in disguise, for it taught US the lesson
of liberal spending, so that when wars
needs demand coin, it was easy for US
to slip our hands into our pockets and
produce it. Any man who has owned
and operated gas machine for year
has acquired the practice of generous
squandering. 1t takes little time and
less effort to induce such persons to
unloosen their purse strings for chart
table objects than it does to convince
one of these fellows who gets all his
recreation out of walking or other
forms of physical exercise, that he
ought to drop penny into the contri-
button box lie the automobile had
done no more than mellow up the tight
wad, it should be cherished as one of
the most useful institutions ever de-
vised by the genius of man. = Madison

PRESIDENT WILSON has made it plain

PRESIDENT WILSON has made it plain
that this country, while in the war to
win, is not in it for purposes of annex
alton, of heavy indemnities, of crush
ing Germany or anyone else, of CON-
mercial isolation of anyone when peace
comes, of the destruction of the Ger
man government or the coercing Of the
German people. He says that it is in
the war to secure the rights of this
country under the laws of humanity
and the international law to freedom of
travel, commerce and living. These in
effect are general statements OF our
war aims and they are worthy in all
ways.

principles the Censor believes in the

have beyond all else is genuine Amer.

SMALLER SUGAR CONSUMPTION.

A smaller sugar consumption in America
in 1916 is one of the high cost results. Ac-
jcording to figures announced by The de-
lpartment of commerce, the per cap con-
sumption amounted to 1915 pounds, as
against 8406 the year before, and 1914 in
1914.
How was the retrenchment effected?
WAS the matutinal allowance for coffee cut ?
ibid the sons of men buy fewer boxes of
candy for their dulcineas? Did the latter
-Icompound fewer plates of fudge for the
iformer? Were fewer cakes constructed with
7'ted sepulchres of the CONNECTIONS
er's art? Or-God save the mark-did the
old fashioned housewife put up less jam
and jelly and preserves?
Decreased production is of course the
cause for the high price. The worlds total
sugar crop last year was 1888, 100000
pounds as against Al ,351, 100000 the year
before. Takings by the United States
amounted to 100000 pounds, or 81 per
tcent of the whole. Sugar is a valuable food
Iproduct, cheap even at ten cents.

1t is not enough that the body
should be supplied with the kind Of
food for repairing it, and with the
kind of food to keep it warm and to
give power to move. 1t must also
have lime, iron and common salt ia
build up the cells and to keep them
in good condition.
Bones and teeth are examples of
the cells which require lime and which
cannot be repaired without it. Milk
and eggs are the best sources of
lime for the body. Other lime giving
foods are buttermilk, pr1nes, beans,
cottage cheese, celery, spinach and
Cauiiflower.
Blood cannot be kept rich and red
unless the body makes daily many
millions of red blood corpusCles. In
anemia where people become pale and
listless, the supply of red corpuscles
is usually greatly reduced. Iron
giving foods are whole wheat bread.
egg yolk, cabbage, oatmeal, dried
beans, celery, spinach lettuce, as
paragus and green string beans.
Nerve and brain cells cannot be
made unless a substance for building
them known as phosphorus, is sup
piled in sufficient amounts in the
food. This substance as most album
dant in spinach, buttermilk, cottage
cheese, asparagus, cauliflower, Gu
cumbers and celery.
Some people buy lime iron and salts
at the drug store in various medi-
cines. Others get them from fruits
and vegetables. As a general thing
our instincts may be relied upon to
supply the organism with the neces-
sary amount of common salt.
The human machine, like the steam
engine needs to be kept clean. Gel
lulose, substance familiar in the
