RUSSIAN MONKS

How great has been the change which has overcome every phase of political and economic life in what was once the land of the Czar can best be judged by the recent an- nouncement that all monks in Russia would be sent to the front to take part in the battles that their native land might still fight, despite the outlook at the moment that Russia s resistance to the Germans will be more or less passive.

Is it true that an iceboat actually sails faster than the wind7
 It is paradoxical that contrivance driven by the wind can go faster than the wind that drives it, but such is the case with the ice yacht. It sails faster than the wind when sailing at sharp angle to it. The wind strikes the sails slantwise, and no matter how fast the boat goes it's speed does not diminish the pressure on the sail The only limit to the speed is the friction engendered by wind on the sail and ice on the runners. When, on the oth- CT course, the boat sails directly be- fore the wind she is like a balloon and drifts along at about the speed of the wind itself.

 The professional plumber has several soldering Auxes that should work for the amateur. Of these hydrochloric acid with little zinc added to form a chloride is used chiefly in soft solder ing. Powdered rosin sprinkled on the surface of the metal serves as a good fux, and tallow is sometimes used for the same purpose, If you have copper to mend you should use either borax or sal ammoniac before applying the solder.

 A poll tax or any other of the exist ing taxes when it falls upon an alien resident is taxation without represen- tatfon.

BETTER Than CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
sslt these little o1ive-co1ored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calome1.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
SO do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and
"heavy." Note how they "clear" clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spir-

PROMINENT MEN
GIVE MILITARY
TRAINING VIEWS
NEWELL ALBRIGHT WRITES:

While discussions pro and con
about military preparedness are
in order, perhaps a few reflec-
tions on war generally by an OBJ
server recently returned from a
belligerent country, might not be
out of place.
1t is safe to suggest that If
every American saw, as / saw in
England not war, but what is in
finitely worse, the results and the
effects of war, the frightful hor-
ror, the sadness of this unbeliev-
able cataclysm, the man who
suggested that this, our country,
my country and yours, enter into
this insane melee withits attendant
horrors, he would be gently and
tenderly put away. To picture
that war-stricken country beg
Sars description. Words are in
adequate. War; War! Just waN
And for what? National honor?
What is national honor? In our
own case it seems to be the in
Sistence that fool Americans can
poke their hand deliberately into
lire and then scream if they are
burnt.
Several visits to the House of
Commons during war discussions
were Illuminating in that they
recalled what little bit the lay
man does know about the real
forces at work in his government.
When Rumania was on the fence
and undecided as to which side
she should cast her lot, opinions
of her worth were guarded. When
her decision was made and she
plunged in with the winning"
side, the London papers acclaim
ed her as being noble, just, act
ing in accordance with the high
est moral tenets, etc, etc, ad
nauseum. There is not the slight
est doubt but that the press was
as ably armed with antonyms in
case she allied herself with the
Central Powers.
How prone we are to forget
that man-made boundaries (these
into hunks of States) do not
at all alter human character
istics or human tendencies. How
accustomed we are to thinking
and believing that Germans from
peace-loving citizens have sud
denly become super devils, living
only for and existing on murder,
rape and flowing blood. Is war
lust, war madness then a thing
which seiZes some and not

tions take it off or on at will?
