THE SENATE coWED.

TO nothing but the complete domination which
President Wilson has achieved over Washington
can be ascribed the tameness with which the
United States senate accepts the position into
which il has been backed.
The senate under the constitution, is at least
equally responsible with Mr.. Wilson for the
treaty that will be signed in France but the
senate win know no of that treaty than
it learns through the newspapers. 1t seems
to be the plan of Mr. Wilson to submit the terms
agreed upon to the senate and dare it to refuse
to indorse them
And the crowning injury to senatorial dignity
is that every voice raised in protest is met with
the cry don't embarrass the President" No
body seems to consider how the President is
embarrassing the senate.
From this distance it would seem as if there
is but one man in public semi-public life who
is not just little bit awed by the President,
and that gentleman is too much prejudiced
against Br. Wilson to make a valuable con :
structiyc critic" So, whether like it not.
Mr.. Wilson is going to write the peace treaty
So far rs the United States is concerned and is
going to do the job alone.

Your Health and It's Care
PRODUCING DISEASE.
BY DIR. r. H. Bishop Jr.


How do germs cause disease in the human
body?
BY poisoning it. 5f
The human body is built of very small cells
When the cells are in health the body is in
health. When all the cells are dead the body
is dead - ~
The cells must have foo&Sand oxygen If in
stead they poisoned injured they die.
Disease germs when they enter the body
sickness and death by poisoning the cells.
The germs very small plants and animals
and each spring only from perms of the
same kind.
More than half the human race is killed by
germs and nearly all the germs that attack us
come from the bodies of sick persons.
The first great rule for the prevention Of germ
the bodies of the sick.
Germs enter the body through the nose and
mouth, through wounds and through the skin.
The second great rule for the prevention of
germ disease is Guard the nose and mouth
protect yourself from biting insects and take care
of wounds.
However, dangerous germs often get into the,
body in spite of the greatest care that
take. When these germs produce toxins which
poison the body, the body in turn defends itself
by producing anti-toXins
The body kills germs by means Of the white
corpuscles and the germcidal substance of the
blood.
Thus the germcidal or germ killing power of
the body should not be allowed to run low. be-
cause disease germs may be in the body waiting
for chance to grow, may get into the body
at times unknown to us.
Alcohol lessons the power Of the body to kill
the germs.
The third great rule taken for the preserya-
ton of germ disease is: Keep away from all
cases OF sickness and that your children do
the same.
Should you contract a germ diease do not
let other people come in contact with you,

PHRASE MAKING NOT ENOUGH.

Phrase making, unfortunately, won't wholly
Solve the problems OF the peace table
IL it would, Mr. Wilson's concert of powers
difficulties 1t expressed high ideals in striking
phrases that catch and hold the admiration.
The concert OF powers' idea is not a new one
in Europe. 1t has been tried before but the
concert" showed a most embarrassing tendency
to develop discord instead of harmony and the
concert too often become more like a dog fight
than musical entertainment
The London speech is most encouraging, be-
cause it shows the British in sympathy with
President Wilson's ideals, which are tho ideals
of every right thinking American. But harmony
on abstract principles doesn't insure harmony on
the best way TO make those distractions con-
crete.
All right thinking men, for example. might
agree that poverty is undesirable and should be
abolished, yet the world has failed for thousands
of years to abolish it. The world now is think
ing of abolishing wars and standing armies. All
right thinking men agree 1t should be done. Mr.
Wilson, yet, has merely expressed that idea
a little more forcbly and more strikngly than
any other living has succeeded In doing.
Most men agree with his aims. but Mr.. Wilson
hasn't yet disclosed any plan for accomplishing
them that compares in definiteness and probable
Peace.
Perhaps he has a better plan than the leagues
hut it hasn't been exposed to any "pitiess pub
lcity" yet or to the United States senate
which must approve it.

THANK you, MR. HOOVER, FOR THEN
WORDS"

At least one American has not been wholly
baked of revenge.
For at least one American, the armistice did
not utterly ruin perfectly good just when
it was getting interesting
Since Nov. IL, Americans have had to satisfy
themselves with picturing what they would do
with the Kaiser, thinking up adequate pun
ishments for the prince. It like punching
a feather bed-it didn't accomplish anything, and
most of US were beginning to feel the need of an
outlet for our feelings
But Mr.. Hoover has given it to us.
There is a certain Anglo Saxon buntness to
MIR. Hoovers language that is refreshing to the
ear after long familiarity with the carefully
chosen diction of his chief.
Says Mr.. Hoover in reply to the request for a
conference from German food commissioners
whom he had known too well in Belgium:
: You can describe two and half years Of ar
rpgance toward ourselves and cruelty to the Bel
gians in any language you may select, and tell
the pair personally to go to Hell with my COM
plfments n do have to deal with Germans,
1t viii not be with that pair"
1t came from the heart. 1t was the carefully
stored up indignation OF four years finally
breaking out Up to everyone has been So
dannabIy polite and considerate of Hun feelings.
Three rousing cheers for Mr.. Hoover.
Somehow We can't help feeling glad that Mr.
Wilson did not have a chance TO send some such
reply as: May not be permitted to take this
opportunity to convey to you the wish that you,"
etc.
And the best part of it is, that Mr.. Hoover's
Go to Heip is something more than a mere
wish. It comes pretty close to being a COM
I1and.
