WOUNDS POLICEMAN,

preached Traffic Policeman Joseph w
Ward, 81. of 100 Eighth avenue, at
tached to Traffic Station c. at $50
last evening, at Fortieth street and
Broadway, and pointed a revolver at
his belt, Ward threw up his left
hand, struck the gun away and COW
cred the muzzle with his index finger.
The Broadway crowds heard the shot
and Policeman Ward, with one finger
gone, was doubtless thankful to es-
cape with his life.
At the Thirtieth street station Miss
Teddy was held on a charge of fclo-
NOUS assault. She said she intended
to kill the officer or take her own life
if he would not marry her. Ward was
taken to New York hospital and re-
fused to make a statement. When
questioned by Patrolnan Downie as
to the cause for the shooting he said,
ASK her" pointing to the girl.
Patrick 3. Teddy, father of the
girl, retired some time ago from the
New York police force and is a special
officer for the Mutual Life Insurance

!. DRINK HOT WATER
" BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean, sweet

with a coated tongue, foul breath or
a dull, dizzy headache; or, if your
meals sour and turn into gas and

1pg you.
Tomorrow morning, imm ediately
upon arising, drink a glass of hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This is intended to
first neutralize and then wash out of
your stomach, liver, kidneys and
thirty feet of intestines all the indi-
gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and
toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal.
Those subject to sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form of stomach trouble, are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
and begin enjoying this morning in
side-bath. It is said that men and
women who try this become erthu-
siastic and keep it up daily. It is a
splendid health measure for it is more
important to keep clean and pure on
the inside than on the outside, because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing disease,
while the bowel pores DO.
The principle of bathing inside is
not new, as millions of people prac-
tice it, Just as hot water and Soa .

PerilS ola Negotiated Peace.

Because the American people do not wish to
begin feverish preparation for another world war
Immediately upon the conclusion of this one; be-
cause they do not wish to sit at a bargain table
with the treacherous Hun to trade and haggle for
the vindication of their cause; because they do
not wish to lose or hazard the glorious chance to
make the dream of democracy a fact and the
dream of enduring peace a reality; because as
Americans they cherish their own country's free
dom and honor, and as lovers of justice cherish
the rights of mankind, they insist that Prussian-
ism shall be beaten into unconditional surrender
and dealt unsparing justice for its criminal deeds
1t is flame of mere war-anger that has
steeled the will of Americans and their Allies
against negotiated peace; it is the settled con-
viction that a negotiated peace would be simply
Prussian truce, Hohenzolern trick. Every chap
ter in Germany's record admonishes us
against leaving to negotiation any right that we
wish her to respect, or any wrong that we insist
upon her redressing. Ought the countries that
she has pillaged and tortured have reparation?
Ought the property that she has stolen be restor-
ed? Ought the laws that she has flouted be made
binding upon her? If these matters are to be
determined Alright, they must be determined be-
fore the Allied bayonet is lifted from the Prus-
sian outlaws throat.
There is nothing debatable in the major issues
of this war, nothing to be conceded or compro-
missed. There great corolary problems, it is
true, which must be solved at a conference table;
such problems, for instance, as those inherent in
the establishment of an international league for
the maintenance of peace. But fundamental to all
these questions is the crushing of that brutal au-
tocracy with which there be no broad comfy
among nations, no lasting peace among men,

tice, surrendering Internationally Bulgaria did.
That means of course, the complete insulation of
the Central Powers and with Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary left alone in the criminal alliance,
Austria-Hungary will well-nigh certainly follow the
toboggan of the Bulgar and the Turk 1t is obvious,
indeed, that the Bulgarian debacle together with
the developments likely to grow out of it-such
for example as the restoration OF Serbia and Ru-
mana-win expose tottering Austria to invasion
from the Probably, too the present turn in the
Balkans will put heart and fire into the anti
Bolshevik and anti-German elements in Russia.
1t is possible that the Slavic peoples within the
Dual Monarchy itself will be kindled to revolt In
deed, when to the possibilities Of the situa-
ton, there is scarcely end. But as we cherish
the principles for which fight, we dare not let
the favorable prospect in the East which after all
is minor field, abate one jot of our determine
ton effort to crush treacherous and resource
full Germany to unconditional surrender.

In the midst of rejoicing and pride over Amer

RESERVES AND REVERSES

simple transposition of letters spells both
reserves and reverses. simple Encouragement of
conditions will produce either.
These two words, so alphabetically akin, carry
the relationship into their meanings
The intactness of your reserves depends upon
the extent of your reverses The seriousness of
your reverses is accentuated or minimized by the
amount of your reserves.
Wherever either figures, both factors. Each
depends upon the other. They equalizers.
They determine the points of sovency and nquida-
ton
defensive warfare is one of reserves and re-
verses.
The allied offensive is designed to continue Ger
manys reverses till her last effective reserves are
thrown into the fray.
1t is at perceivable that the frequency and
weight of allied thrusts determine the speed with
which the length and strength of the HUN parties
will be diminished.
Through all Of lifes vicissitudes, the principle
of reverses versus reserves stands unchanged One
fnancer lightly regards setback which would be
another's calamity. One mans vital forces mag
netize his personality while another's depleted by
excuses constitute diluted form of energy that IS
his last reserve
Though no reverses anticipated through in
discretion, negligence or willful disregard of nat
ural laws, it is to individual sef-interest to
amass reserves all along life's battle front For
those who do, the element of chance no terrors
and the spectre of worry is an unfamiliar vision

you are nervous, you tell me. You sleep badly,
7 you are restless, uneasy, depressed, easily
discouraged. Yet your doctor says you are
organically sound.
How are your muscles? Are they firm and
strong or are they 1abby and weak? Yes, that may
have a great deal to do with your nervousness
Listen to what the specialist, DR.. Robert S. Carroll
has to say this point:
''Scrawny muscles and fiat chests are common
with the nervous, and are almost constantly found
in those who suffer from the blues A poorly de-
veloped chest means deficiency of oxygen and con-
sequent excess of toxin.
Men and women whose 1abby muscles have re-
ceived but small part of their possible develop
ment recruit the ranks of the nervous. Many reach
maturity, fullgrown and practically muscleless I'M
conscious caricatures of the human race.
by forty the average woman is exercising with
little but her tongue, and the with lit
tie but his teeth"
Compare with this an observation by another
specialist, DR.. j. J. Walsh. Speaking particularly
of the nervousness often found in people who have
been athletic in their youth, DR.. Walsh says:
Our muscular system is principal heat
making apparatus. 1t is easy to understand.
eff we have larger Matchmaking organs than are
necessary for the maintenance of the temperature

If only it may help you some
In the race for life that is nearly run;
That you may live to know, to enjoy
The freedom your fight has saved,

I've lived with you through the fight today,
Heard the hideous hell,
Saw your tired shoulders raise
In pride before you fell;
Heard the low-drawn moan you gave
When the warm blood flowed in a crimson
wave,
God and the Red Cross left to save)
And my heart is full of aches today
That l only sew-and pray
While you are giving your life away.
There's tear for every stitch, my boy,
And in every seam-a prayer.
God grant they may be answered
While you are suffering there.
They'll change each ragged wound to health
Bring you home in all your wealth.
A Nations honored son.
