ENGLAND IN THE WAR.

The facts as to what England did
in the war are being collected from
official sources. When those facts
are before the world the question
will not be what did England do in
the war;" but "how did England do
it,"
When the war closed every third
male Of the British Isles from babes
in arms to the oldest man was in
some kind of war service.
The naval forces fighting subma-
rines have been so per cent British
IA per cent American and 6 per cent
French
The British navy in the duration
OF the war conveyed 100000 men
TO the men are to be added 1000
900 mules and horses, 25,OOO.Ouo
tons of explosives, 5l,OO0,OOO tons of
fuel and British ships have carried
1870, 100000 tons of food
The British air forces were the
greatest when the war closed.
When the war began 100000
BRITISH women were workers in in
dustrial occupations. Five million
women are working at mems jobs
there today. Why, England built at
least one ship complete without a
mans hand touching the work. The
children kept the home. Mother and
sisters went to the aid of England.
England raised more potatoes and
more grain in war time without
mans help than in any peace year.
Our losses of men in war would
have to reach 100000 dead before
we matched the proportionate losses
OF Great Britain.
Twelve million American women
would have to take mems jobs to
equal the British women
Our taxes would have to reach s
billions annually. The American
with an income of $4,000 a year
would pay 81 900 of it in taxes, this
outside of subscriptions to war ac-
tivlties and the purchase of bonds.
One million men from London
alone were in the armies and navy
of Great Britain.
When German propaganda was
leading us in the United States to the
conclusion that Great Britain was
Sinking, Great Britain was doing ~
and more than the items noted
above
Those are some Of the things that
Great Britain did in the war.

HE AITH TALK
SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRIP
BY DIR. LEE II. SMITH.

An old enemy is with US again, and
whether we fight German or germ,
we must putAp good fight, and not be
afraid. The influenza runs avery brief
course when the patient is careful, and
if we keep the system in good condition
and throw off the poisons which tend to
accumulate within our bodies, we can
escape the disease. Remember these
three C's-a clean mouth, a clean skin,
and clean bowels. To carry off poisons
from the system and keep the bowels
loose, daily doses OF pleasant laxative
should be taken. Such a one is made
of May-apple, leaves of aloe, root OF
jalap, and called DR.. Perce's Pleasant
Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by a cold, and the
patient should be put to bed after hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two
hours, with lemonade. The Anuric tab.
lets were first discovered by DR.. Pierce,
and, as they flush the bladder and
cleanse the kidneys, they carry away
much of the poisons and the uric acid.
It is important that broths, milk, but
termilk, ice-cream and simple diet
be given regularly to strengthen the sys-
tenn and increase the vital resistance.
The fever is diminished by the use of the
Anuric tablets, but in addition, the fore
head, arms and hands may be bathed
with water (tepid } in which q table,
spoonful of salaratus has been dissolved
IN a quart. After ali attack of grip or
pneumonia to build up and strengthen
the system, obtain at the drug store
good iron tonic, called 1rontic" Tab
lets, or that we'll known herbal tonic,

WILL TRY TO FORGET HIM.

The events of the war that has as
far as the fighting part just closed
will inspire poets, sculptors, painters
and composers for thousand years
to come. But no poets soul will
flame forth in an iliad for Wilhelm,
no sculptor's genius will visualize in
his hateful figure hero great, no
painter will portray for century old
halls Of fame his sinister counten-
ance, no composer will conceive a
symphony to impart to the souls of
coming generations the majesty of
his character. In all the years to
come-even the native land he brut-
allied, betrayed and ultimately
wrecked-his very name will be
anathema and the world will strive
to forget him because he cannot we'll
be recalled except to make the world
shudder at the atrocities and infam-
les which have damned his name
forever and forever.-St. Joe OBJ

'One thing that President Wilson
should do" declares the Aanamosa
Journal, lis to so modify the civil
service rules SO that soldiers shall
have the same right to compete for
public positions that they have for
private jobs. The boys who risked
should have the preference, other
things being equal. The door was

Hindenburg a Barbarian.

The character of the German
people is well indicated By that
Of the man whom they have de-
fled. That man is Won linden
burg, and By his own frank con-
fession he is barbarian, for he
proclaims the barbarian concep-
ton Of war TO be right.
A writer in the Washington
Post narrates an interview which
he had with Won Hindenburg
several years before the war, in
which the field marshal truly pre-
dicted that in this war you viii
see killing on the biggest scale you
ever saw" Then he told how he
thought war should be fought,
saying:
i" il will be a war without mercy
as war ought to be.
Barbarians understand war
better than We Europeans. They
have no rules. no codes, no con-
ventions IN war.
Kill your enemy IN any way
you can. and when you have killed
him in sufficient numbers, so that
he can no longer resist You, en-
slave hin-thaf is the barbarian
theory Of war. and il is the right
one.
The Germans have carried on
var according to that theory, and
they have chosen Won Hindenburg
IS their leader, thus proclaiming
themselves barbarians. There is
only one way to fight barbar-
ians-that is TO kill only their
fighting men lin sufficient num-
hers SO they can no longer resist
you, then civilize the survivors,
each them the principles of self
government and set them free TO
become a peaceful Ration. The
between theSe two con-
is the difference between
war as the Germans make il and
war as the Allies make ii, between
and civilization, be-
tween darkness and light, between
evil and good. The war is a very.
simple affair when thus reduced
