following the advent Of Christ and the
teaching of the Apostles was cited by
Cardinal Gibbons to show that great
er conquests are possible with the
sword of Righteousness than with the
material blood-stained sword Of the
would-be conqucror."
"The spiritual republic which the
Apostles founded exists unto this day,
is constantly extending it's lines and is
consolidated, not by frowning fortiiica-
tions and standing armies but by the
divine influence Of religious and moral
sanctions" continued the Cardinal.
Lawless Ambition Is Doomed
"What does this prove? 1t proves
that the pen and the voice are mightier
hath her victories no less renowned
than war, aye victories more substan-
tial and more enduring. 1t proves
that all schemes conceived in passion
and fOmented by lawless ambition, Of
which the present worid-war is a strik
ing illustration, are doomed linke the
mountain torrent, to carry terror be-
fore them and to leave ruin and desc
lation after them"
Cardinal Gibbons CONCLUDED with a
tribute to the men Of the American
army
LET US earnestly pray said he,
that our brave young soldiers who are
now in the trenches or who are pre-
pairing to go there, may be preserved
III their faith and morals from the dam
gers which surround them, that they
may heroically fulfil their glorious
mission and that they may soon return
triumphant to the bosoms of their fam
lies and to their beloved Columbia,
the mighty mother of us ALL"

Would Make April 8
Win-the-War Day
lStaf CorrespondenceI

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-April 6, the
first anniversary of Americas entrance
into the war, is suggested as National
Win-theWar Day" by William Mather
Lewis, executive secretary cf the Ma
tional Committee OF Patriotic Societies,
IN statement issued tonight.
The society urges state councils of
defence, county and community coun-
clls, mayors of cities, Liberty Bond
committees, labor organizations, pa
triotic societies and school boards to
participate in 'Win-the-W " ar Day" cele-
bratlons.
Presidents of fifty national patriotic
organizations, members of the Cabinet
and other government officials to-day
received the following statement from
Secretary Lewis:
AT the beginning of our second year
IN the great war 1t is fitting that we
have a national consecration to the
task remaining before US. Because OF
numerous workless days during the
past winter it is not advisable that the
occasion should be made a holiday; but
in every factory, store, mine, school
and on every farm there should be a
brief period during the day where
every one who is loyal to the flag
should stand up and be counted Flag.
should everywhere be unfurled. At u
o'clock noon factory whistles and
church bells should send forth vol
ume of sound that viii reach Berlin.
Every band in the country will then
play The StarSpangled Banner while
the people stand at attention.
'ln the evening, in the churches,
halls and theatres. the people can
gather for meetings of inspiration. Reg
iments of the National Army may pa
rade in cities near cantonments. The
winter of our discontent,' with its
coalless days and congested railroads
and other minor annoyances, is past.
The spring, with its promise of abun-
dant crops and Increased industrial
production, is here. Now is the time for
Americas home army to mobilize ana
thus bring courage to our boys in the
trenches and cantonments and depres-
sion to our enemies. Let Germany feel
that this is a popular war in America
The effect of having the nation a unit
in patriotic thought on this day cannot
be overestimated. 1t will bring re-
newed courage and hope TO our brave
allies"

Aland Islands Seized
By Swedish Forces

PETROGRAD. Tuesday, Feb. l9 (via
London, Thursday, Feb. 21D-At the
Bolshevik headquarters confirmation is
given of the report that Swedish forces
have seized the Aland Islands. The
landing force was resisted stubbornly
by the small garrison Of Bolshevik
troops.
The forwarding of Swedish troops to
maintain order in the Aland Islands
was reported unofticially last week, al
though until the arrival of this dis
patch, apparently delayed by censor, no
announcement had been received of the
actual seizure of the islands.
The Swedish Parliament Yesterday
adopted the governments proposal for
military intervention. Premier Eden
said the project was to be carried out
under an agreement arrived at between
the Finnish Red Guard, which is sup
ported by the Russians, and the White
Guard, which is attempting to over
throw the Bolsheviki.
The Aland Islands, which formerly
belonged to Sweden, are populated
largely by Swedes, who have made sew
eral appeals to Stockholm for protec-
tlon and return of the islands to
Sweden.

HOW TO FIGHT
SPANISH INFLUENZA
BY DR.. L. W. BOWERS.

Avoid crowds, coughs and towards,
but fear neither germs nor Germans!
Keep the system in good order. take
plenty of exercise in the fresh air and
practice cleanliness. Remember a
clean mouth, a clean skin, w clean
bowels are a protecting armour against
disease. To keep the liver and bowels
regular and to carry away the poisons
within, it is best to take a vegetable
pill every other. day, made up Of May
apple, aloes, jalap, and s~ugar-coated,
to be a at most drug stores, known
as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. If
there is a sudden onset of what ap-
pears like a hard cold, one should 20
o bed, wrap warm. take a hot mustard
foot-bath and drink copiously of hot
lemonade. If pain develops in head
or back, ask the druggist for Anuric
(anti-uric) tablets. These will flush
the bladder and kidneys and carry off
poisonous germs. To coAtrbl the pains
Ind aches take n Anuric tablet every
two hours, with frequent drinks of
lemonade. The pneumonia appears in
q most t~reacherous way, when the in
duenza victim is apparently recovering
Ind anxious to leave his bed. In re-
covering from az bad attack of in1u-
enza or pneumonia the system should
be built up with "a good herbal tonic.

IN. FOOD,

point to be. kept in. mind in addition
to food values and the .'five food

Foods may be hard or soft, crisp,
brittle or oily. smooth or granular,
coarse grained or fine grained. An
attractive meal avoids too many foods
Of the same texture. Milk toast and
custards make a combination too soft,
crisp rolls and nuts make a combi-
nation too hard. Dumplings on the
other hand go we'll with meat stews.
hard cookies with soft desserts such
as custards and ice" creams, crisp
crackers with soup, nuts with raisins
OF figs
Bread and butter combines the oily
with the more or less granular, let
tuce OF other marinated vegetables
with the crisp. Granular brown bread
is excellent with baked apples; mealy
baked beans taste better with a little
pork; smooth mashed potatoes are
good with the crust of cooked meat;
in potato salad, celery and cucumber
add apleasing crispness.

the recognized ideals of food combi-
