THE, KAISER AS | KNEW
HIM FOR FOURTEEN YEARS
BY ARTHUR \. DAVIS, D. D. S.
Copyright, 1915 by the Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate

l''"Germany will lose the war be-
cause her cause is wrong" he de-
c1ared. She will fight it through
TO the bitter end until the founda-
tons of the empire are absolutely
destroyed"
The foundations of Hohenzollern-
ism will be destroyed, no doubt, but
when the German people realize
what dupes they have been and re-
veal desire to embrace the bless
ings of democracy it is possible that
the world at large may be willing to
accept Germany again in the family
of nations.
Germany's deliverance lies in the
hands of the people. THE truth
shall make them free"
THE END.

CCOLDING is a habit into which
many women and some men
have fallen.
Why women more than men? Per-
haps because they have had through
the ages so much more to do with the
training Of children.
Scolding is so easy. 1t is so natural
It relieves ones pent-up feelings. 1t
seems actually necessary sometimes.
But does 1t get anywhere?
Scolding is habit, and consid cred
from a detached ethical standpoint,
a parent who has the habit of scold-
ing is quite as much in need of cor
rection us a child who has the habit
of crying.
