HOLIDAYS AND HUSBANDS.


Christmas-that reef on which the
fragile bark of many a mans romance
has been wrccEeti-is coming
Watch your step, Young Husband
for, at this time, a woman's soul and
heart are as tender and sensitive as
an opera singers vanity or your zen
chin just after shaving. There is
something about the magic witehery
of the winter solstice that gets into
her blood and makes her yearn to
live in fairy dale. To a woman, hol-
days, anniversaries, celebrations--th
date on which you first kissed her,
the date on which you met. or fell in
love, or proposed, or were married,
or quarreled. or were born, May Day,
st. Valentines Day, Christmas Day
all these are milestones in the path
of her life and love. and many a per-
fectly well-intentioned, kind hearted
husband can date the loss of rdnance,
happiness or his wifes illusions about
him from one of these. For, to a
man, such sentimental autopsies
(when Il woman loves to dig up the
past and dream over iD are Just plain
martyrdom.
Happy the man who has weathered

A PLEASURE TO SEE THEM.

An Inside Bath
Makes You Look
and Feel Fresh
Says a glass CT hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
keeps illness away.

Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, claiming this is
of vastly more importance than out
side cleanliness, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, causing Ill health, while the
pores in the ten yards of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast u
glass Of hot water with q teaspoonful
Of limestone phosphate in it, as n
harmless means of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, poisons, sour bile and toxins;
thus cleansing, sweetening and puri
flying the entire alimentary canal be-
fore putting more food into the stom-
ach.
Those who wake up with bad
breath, coated tongue, nasty taste or
have a duh, aching head, sallow COM
plexion, acid stomach; others who are
subject to bilious attacks or constipa-
ton, should obtain a quarter pound
Of limestone phosphate at the drug
store. This will cost very little but
is sufficient to demonstrate the value
Of inside bathing.

SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT.

So far we have seen that nations
have differnt standards of conduct
from individual men; so that not only
do civilized nations steal, lie. break
treaties with other nations, and do
all manner of things that civilized
men are ashamed to do as individuals,
but they even feel that such actions
are legitimate They do not know
when they do wrong.
We have seen also that the rela-
lively high standard among individual
men had its root in government. Law
and Righteousness grew up together
But over the nations there was no
law. Each was a law to itself. and
the nations are in the same shape
morally today as men would be il
there We're no fear of a policeman.
The nations must some time get to-
gether Just as individuals did. and
turn over some of their powers to a
league to enforce peace and Justice.
1t would appear that patriotism is
fine only when its objects are fine
and that love of country which
leads one to disregard the rights Of
others needs to be checked. not en-
couraged. People are easily led
astray. There are lots of Americans
who do not feel that the rights Of
Mexico. for instance, need to be CON
sidered at all. Mexico would not
consider our rights. Our real purpose
would be to help Mexico, and Mexico
would be much better off If we set
up a strong government there. Bah!
1t is the talk of child. Jimmy
would lick me if he had chance.
What want to lick him for is so as
to get him into our gang. and then
we1l show him something worth
while" But the purposes. results,

all nations ought eventually to be part
Of the league. This question of mem
bership is going to be one of the most
difficult problems confronting the
league, and we shall discuss it in full
later. But as we have seen in previ-
Gus papers the trend of events in
history is always toward larger and,
larger units, and the ultimate unit
must be the world itself. Indeed for
better or for worse, whether we like
it or not, the world is enc community
today
This is very different thing from
saying that we IRE ready for II league
that will include the word. TIE
main thing is that We must lay TIC
foundations of our league broad
enough so as to include all nations in
the end This is a fundamental point.
Let us get it straight. 1t must be the

THE CITY BOARD or HEALTH.

There has been no purpose on the
part Of the Journal to bedevil the
city health board; our effort has been
to assist IT, The Journal has had the
advantage of newspapers from nearly
every section of the United States and
the time to find out from them what
Investigations have been made re-
garding influenza and pneumonia and
what the conclusions have been re-
garding prevention
The members of the city health
hoard have been too busy with pri-
vate practice even to get reports from
physicians here of the results of vac
cinations in this city or to tabulate
their own experiences and obseVa-
lions.
We know what some physicians
have done. but are not allowed to
give names. ono physician who be-
gan administration of vaccine carly
has a record of nearly two hundred
vaccinations of persons known to
bad health all the time, took influ-
onza after two vaccine treatments and
died. Another person who had only
one vaccine treatment had mild at
tack Of FLU, and a third person who
had been given three vaccine treat
ments developed flu in so light o form
that it required a blood test to tell
whether it was flu or merely a light
cold.
AN doctors agree that the vaccine
treatments can do no harm. Emil
nent medical authorities look for flu
in its worst form in February and
March, when people all over the
country are at their lowest period Of
vitality, and when weather conditions
are at their worst. unless vaccination
prevents it. They all agree on that
point
1t has been the hope Of the Journal
that general vaccination would pre-
vent spread of the epidemic and
would thus save n vast number of
valuable lives. We believe that the
data so far furnished by vaccination
in the principal cities of the country
justifies the conclusion that fatalities
are reduced fully nine-tenths.
Furthermore the Journal would
like to impress upon its readers the
fact that because a, doctor says he
doesn't believe there is anything in
it, is not the slightest reason for re-
garding his opinion as of the slightest
consequence. 1t IS reason for getting
another doctor.

LUNGS REPAIRED AND CLEANED


Remarkable lung operations have
recently been performed by Colonel
Pierre Duval of the French Reserve
Medical corps. In describing some of
his work to American army medical
officers at one of the southern camps
short time ago, he explained that
he enters the chest cavity by making
six inch opening through the ribs.
With the aid of forceps he then lifts
the lung through the aperture and
lays it on the chest wall. The bleed
ing blood vessels are tied, the outer
surface of the organ cleaned, and the
tracts swabbed out with gauze. Torn
pieces of the organ have been ex-
cised and the wound sutured, After
this the lung has been replaced in its
normal position and the aperture
closed. Two-thirds Of the patients
who have been subjected TO opera
tons of this kind have fully recov-

what Jimmy might do--these things
don't really count. 1t isn't right to
lick Jimmy
The one great object in these arti-
cles so far has been to get people
to apply their own personal standards
OF morality to the actions of nations.
Ii they do this fairly, they cannot
help seeing that nations have not been
honest or square or decent. And it
is because there IS no policeman on
the corner. And so q leasue of ma
tons that will arrange for policing
the world is bound to come sooner
or later.
Practical Aspects.
1t is about time to turn to some
OF the practical aspects of the matter.
Let us see if our general considera :
tons suggest anything definite. Well,
of course, first of all they suggest that
the league has got to have power.
Among individuals we have small
police force which can handle any
ordinary situation: but the real
strength of the police is the fact that
it has the state behind 1t and in case
of need can call upon all citizens for
assistance. Perhaps in a league OF
nations there would be something of
that sort-a small police force re-
sponsihte to the league for keeping
the peace in cases where not much
power is required, and able to call
on all the nations for help IL anything
big Is started. Such an arrange
ment would remove the temptation
the powerful nations have at present
of interfering in small countries that
do not pay their debts. If 1t is neces-
sary to seize custom houses in small
countries once in a while. evidently
the international police ought to do it
Another point that our general con-
siderations infallibly point TO Is that
