A SOLILOoUY ON THE WAR
BY b. s. RODEY.

Many things bother us, but the war, the brutal, horrible war, that
was forced upon us, outshines them all. At times we stop and wonder
If we are not liable to neglect our everyday duties TO our country, to
our state, TO cities, our towns and our families in this awful tn-
multi. ~WrWO4W
We see with regret selfish interests taking advantage of conditions
to feather their own nests at the expense of the country and nj peo-
pl aud to lay the foundations, while III attention is ON the war, of a
'fcudaIsm wholly foreign to the American spirit. and we Sc this being
done under the cloak of patriotism, and we stand appalled,!
But our shock at the war is too strong; our thoughts being wholly
for our country we ragard everything else as secondary, and we think
of nothing else for the present. Maybe il is well that we 10 this, for
surely our people, being strong enough and great enough TO win this
war, even il we have to win IT alone, will he great enough and strong
enough after the war to correct the wrongs that selhshness puts upon
the economic Sackrrs, the criminal cxploiters, and the mpatriotc
grHhhcrs, hut devOting our best energies to winning this war, even rs
said if we have 10 do il alone.
Without for one moment Understanding the awful efficiency of
" PrlSSianism, aud without for an instant failing To fully appreciate
the terrible loss it will he to ON country If now the newborn Russian
who believe. in fact know, that awful though the sacrifice may be.
and unpreparcd though we are, still the American people, may God
bless them and our country, are able, determined and strong enough.
even now, 10 start from the scratch of unrcadinesS and prepare, man
Iufacture, invent and drill, and win this wal lone and by ourselves IL
we have ia. Don't tell me that a nation OF Americans one hundred
lGcImans and their allies there are on the face of the earth, because we
can and will, even If IL takes n generation 10 do IT, We didn want
this war; it was forced upon MS, and being in il, come what will, even
liz every drop of the heroic blood of our millions Of splendid young men
must be spilled. spilled il will be, but we will win this war, God help
ing us. -
Hope we have. and prayers we put forth, that in some way before
this Lords Christening is ended, the world will have a new birth Of
freedom, and that kaiSers aud kings, and cmperors and sltans shall
GO, and class and caste shall be no more, but instead governments by,
for and of the people. To this, like the fathers Of old, we of America
that the people everywhere, even in Germany, and among its allies,
may be made to see the futility of this destruction, this holocaust Of
murder, this mOrtgaging Of he yet unborn, and by abolshing them
selves the causes of it, make our task and that of our allies the lighter.

"ElxA Filthy FINGERS"

The y. S. Public Health Service has
sent out a little broadside on Five
Filthy Fingers that should be read
by every man, woman, and child old
enough 20 understand. In part it
says:
DID you ever set down IN cold black
and white. the things your fingers
touch every day and did you ever con-
alder the number OF times daily that
your unwashed fingers seek your
mouth?
when surgeons discovered that it
was their own infected fingers which
carried germs into wounds they set
about trying 10 discover means
whereby their hands could be rendered
surgicallly clean. /. e. free from germs.
The whole realm OF chemistry was
ransacked for agents which would dis
infect hands. and the scrubbings and
immersions 20 which they subjected
their hands are even yet tender
memory 10 the surgeons Of that per-
tod. But all Of these efforts proved
useless and at last in despair sur
geons took to wearing rubber gloves
which could be boiled. thus bringing to
each patient, as II were, n fresh pair
OF sterile hands In other words. try
as you will you can't by any known
method mako your hands absolutely
clean.
The great agent in the spread Of
those diseases whose causative organ
= mouth and nose. IS the human hand:
and ~ saliva was bright green we
would he amazed at the color Of our
fingers. As a matter OF fact most Of
us carry our fingers TO our mouth or
nose many times daily, there to i'm
plant the germs OF disease which othe.
careless people have spread about,
there 20 collect a fresh cargo Of in
fictitious material to scatter for some
body else.
II Is true that most germs Of disease
die quickly once they leave the human
body but what does the death Of few
billion germs matter so long as the
supply IL copious and never ending?
what an enormous number OF in
fected things we touch during the day
and how infrequent and cursory are
the hand washings we perform.
The answer is to keen YOUR fingers
out OF your mouth and nose. Thus we
limit the spread Of disease from these
orihces AZ least thus we eliminate the
danger Of contracting disease from
