A GERMAN PROPHET

loving German-the German who read
his Schiller and his Goethe and who
loved the good, the beautiful and the
ue"-disappearing and in his place
the coming of. the proud, overoearing
people, filled with a militaristic and
imperialistic spirit
In that year, 1862, Becker wrote
book which he called How and
When" In that book. with true proph-
etc spirit, and with all the righteous
indignation of a prophet in Israel, he
denounced that growing spirit OF ar
rogance and het of domination which
was growing UP in the German en-
pire.
Becker did not believe it would be
possible to establish an empire IN
Germany, and of course there was his
mistake in Understanding the hold
which the new doctrine would get upon
the German people. But If he failed
to properly estimate the attraction or
the doctrine for the German people;
he did not fail in his prediction OF
what the result would be.
"Even If an empire were posi-
biIity," he said. ait would not be worth
a drop Of the blood that would have to
be shed, for, even If it did give US
unity, we should have to conquer our
liberty by its overthrow, by second
struggle full Of sacrifice, but mean
time the empire would have become q
permanent danger to the independence
Of all nations and to all civilizations"
Thus did a German of the type OF
Germans, whom all the world loved
and respected and were glad to call
their neighbors, clearly foresee what
would be, and what has since come to
be, the inescapable result of the Prus-
sian militaristic and lmperlallstc
spirit.
War of Emancipation.
AS America goes deeper and deep
er into this war, and as the principles
I at stake are becoming more and
| more clearly defined. it is not surpris-
, ing that Americans with German blood
in their veins are beginning to realize
that this war is not only a war to pre-
serve the freedom and democracy of
the world, but is also a war for the
emancipation of the Fatherland itself.
The great misfortune is that Becker
prophecy has been so long unread
and so long forgotten that the paid
German enlmissary of the new regime
in Germany has been able to work his
willy way with men who have Teutonic
blood in their veins.
1t is part of the work Of the War
Savings campaign to spread this edu-
cation among the workers and those
who have not had time while making
! a living to delve deeply into history,
either of this country or Of Germany.
And should the two-billion dollar mark
not be reached the educational value
of the campaign would continue to go
on. The War-Savings Committee, how
ever, feels that if the work of educa-
ton is we'll done not only will the is
sues of the war be put clearly before
the people, and labor be released to
produce the material of war. but the
1000, 100000 will also be forthcom-
ing, and no little part Of it will have
been produced by Americans with Ger
man blood in their veins.

Butter Substitutes

Food substitutes have become an order of the
day. Dishes long banished from the table and
food articles formerly rated as an indication of a
low standard of living, are today eaten and en-
joyed by thousands.
Oleomargarine belongs to this class. The
high price of butter forced search for subst-
tutes. Oleomargarine and various other brands,
known for many years but spurned by the public
because of prejudice and unfounded antagonism
are now being sold in the best stores and are
found on many tables.
The Indianapolis News, speaking of butter
substitutes, has the following to say:
These great days for substitutes. High prices

groceries and meat shops sell and keep prominently

for the most part to cheap restaurants and camps
When the average family found it's advisable it

The trouble with the use Of substitutes from the
public viewpoint is their tendency advance price in
the higher ratio, with the article whose place
they take. Before the oleomargarine could be

Magnesia Baths For
Dyspeptic Stomachs
How They NeutraIize or Take Up
The Dangerous Stomach Acids
Which Cause indigestion.
BY A SPECIALIST

n STEtlA
Ply sicians agree that nearly nine
tenth of the cases of stomach trouble.
dyspepsia and indigestion are caused
by an excess of hydrochloric acid in
the stomach. Acid Stomach" is an
exceedingly dangerous condition be
cause the acid irritates and inflames
the delicate stomach walls and lining.
causing the partially digested food to
sour and ferment and develop gas,
bloat, nausea and heartburn.
Acid Stomaches should be neutraltz-
ed Do not treat with digestive pills
or drugs but give the stomach a mag
nesia bath to clean out the dangerous
acid accumulation and then all pain
and discomfort will quickly stop.
To give the stomach genuine mag
nesia bath go to any drug store and
get about OF. of pure bisurated mag
nesia powder and take a teaspoonful
in a cup Of hot or cold water This
makes agreeable drink and washes
down into your acid inflamed and
burning stomach where in less than
ten minutes it soothes and cools the
heated walls and takes up or neutral
ICES every trace of excess acid much
as sponge or blotting paper might
do. With the removal of the acid from
the stomach every symptom of indi-
gestion will stop. Magnesia baths are
being taken daily by thousands of for
mer dyspeptics who now eat as they
please without a sign of indigestion.

A country vicar advertised for an

being questioned upon several points
the vicar said to him:

Conquest and Kultur

Your Royal Highness prince Ruprecht] has
been able to convince himself how powerful the
wave beat of the ocean knocks at the door of
our people and forces it to demand it's place in
the world as a great nation; drives it on. in
short, to world politics.
"Germany's greatness makes it impossible
for her to do without the ocean, but the ocean
also proves that even in the distance, and on it's
farther side, without Germany and the German
Emperor no great decision dare henceforth be
taken.
81 do not believe that thirty years ago our
German people, under the leadership of their
princes, bled and conquered in order that they
might be showed aside when great decisions are to
be made in foreign politics. If that could hap
pen, the idea that the German people are to be
considered as world power would be dead and
done for, and it is not my will that this should
happen. To this end it is only my duty and my
finest privilege to the proper and, if need be-
the most drastic means without fear of conse-
quences. l am convinced that in this course
have the German princes and the. German people
firmly behind me.'-kaiser's speech, kie July
3, 1900.

United States Boys Working Reserve

The National director of the Boys Working
Reserve submits the appended statement:
The United States Food Administration pub
fishes this cablegram from Lord Rhondda:
UNLESS you are able to send the Allies at
least seventy-fve million bushels of wheat over
and above what you have exported up to January
/, and in addition to the total exportable surplus
from Canada, can not take the responsibility of
assuring our people that there will be food
enough to win the war;
To this cable the Food Administration replies
1--WE will export every grain of what that the
American people save from their normal con-
sumption. We believe our people will not fail to
meet the emergency"
Secretary of War Baker assured the Senate
committee last week that the year 1918 will place
an additional million and half of American SOL
diers upon the battlefields of Europe.
President Wilson, addressing the farmers of
the country one week ago, pointed out the neces-
sty for greatly increased food supply. If this
food is to be produced to win the war there must
be men to plant and to harvest the crops that
produce it. This year will see approximately ten
million men withdrawn from the usual avenues
of occupation and diverted to the Army and
Navy, to muntion plants, and to other industries
that bear directly upon the war.
The largest single hitherto untapped avail
able labor source is the two million boys of 16
years of age and over who are in the schools, or
who are engaged in unessental occupations.
The United States Boys Working Reserve is
attempting to mobilize these two million boys to
take the places in farm and shop now being va
Gated by men. National Enrolment Week be-
gins Monday, March Is, when the completion of
the enrolment of these boys, we trust, will be &C.
complished.

Food Administration Says:

How to Save Wheat:-Have a
"Wheatless Monday" and a
"Wheatless Wednesday" every
week and have at least one meal
a day without using any wheat at
all. Use corn, oats, rye, barley,
instead.
Wheatiess now means wheat
less Use no wheat in anything at
wheatless meals. Order bread from
your baker at least twenty-four
hours in advance, SO he will not
make too much. Cut the bread at
the table. Use all stale bread for
toast or cooking.
If every person in America con-
sumes four pounds of wheat flour
a week instead Of five, we can
ship the 220,0OO,000 bushels which
our soldiers and our Allies must
have.
