the institutions Of the United States
have been permanently changed with

instance and with his active assistance
in the other. The clock cannot be turn

president is so keeply absorbed in the
process of anarchy in Russia as to ne
obliyious TO what is happening to our
own Institutions.
IL is possible that out of the stress

The World has never been able to re

A CONTRAST IN POLICIES.

Davenport Democrat: When Pres
ident Wilson in his latest ad-
dress to congress presented the
fourteen specific considerations thai
are necessary elements of world
peace, he heartened the Polish PEG
pie with this declaration;
10. Establishment of an indie
pendent Polish state, including
territories inhabited by indis-
putable Polish population, with
free access to the sea and polit-
zeal and economic Independence
and territorial integrity guaran-
teed by international covenant.
How strikingly this proposition is
in contrast to the proposals made py
Germany in the peace conference at
Brest-Liyotsk. Those proposals meal:
economic mastery OF Belgium and
Poland by Germany, and thinly ois
guised political mastery of Poland
What German mastery OF Poland
means has been shown in the past
few months, since the German armies
pushed their way into Warsaw Mil
lions OF people there are now depend
emit upon the charity OF the world,
and German rule is e1empiified by
the following heatrless order posted
Polish mothers are given the choice
of selling their children or letting
them die:
80 The government sug-
gests that mothers having chill
| dren should send them to Ger
many to be brought up and edu-
Gated. Mothers who are willing
TO make this arrangement will
receive the sum OF $50 marks
for a boy and 100 marks for
girl. No other aid will be CIV

(Signed)
! Governor General Won Bessler.
Here we have in striking contrast
what the American and the German
policies mean for Poland. One means
/ liberty and the other slavery; one
| life and the other death. And Amer
erica may yet pay her debt TO Poland
which sent kosciuskzo TO fight for
| American liberty in the same strug
gle for which France sent US La
/ fayette.

THE PRICE YOU PAY

q know I ought to take treatment; I have been running down for the last year or two. I am all Jagged out' have no ambition, worry from morn ing till night, don't care whether | am dead or alive, have lost weight and cannot do the same work l used to do some years ago. If l were as strong as I was, I could earn good money. l know I ought to treat With a, good specialist, but 1 cannot afford to pay for the treatment
 You are paying for it NOW, my friend, and dearly; yet you do not get it.
 Let me tell you why.
 Your health is your capital; your working capacity is the interest you are drawing
 A good manager never spends more than his interest.
 Should he begin to draw on the capital his interest would, of course, decrease.
 And what are you doing?
 You allow your health to run down more and more; therefore, you can not work and earn what you used to. DO you see L1lc punt ou cA V MA ing on your capital--which is your health-by allowing it to run down, and so the interest (yOur working capacity) is steadily growing smaller.
 You used to make good money; now YOU earn about half of what you used to get.
 To make two, three or four dollars was play to you; and you had all vour heart and soul in your work.
 These happy days are gone.
 You now barely make a living and find it almost beyond your strength. And you shudder at the thought of what, will happen when the final breakdown comes.
 Figure out in dollars and cents what you have lost already and you will be amazed at the amount; and what you are going to lose is beyond estimation.
 The dollar you MIGHT earn, but don't, is an actual expense to you. You spend it. And what do you get for it. Worry, anxiety, despondency, | want and deprivation for your family. The dollar you take out of your 1 pocket and spend for treatment with 1 an experienced specialist is not an | expense. It is an investment. And in 1 return you get increased working l ability, higher wages, health and hap 1 piness at home. ] Which will you choose? Can you hesitate?
