Several delegates to the Sunday
school convention In Denver last week
were dining together and were telling
about the revivals they had had the
past winter. One reported twenty ad.
ditiOns to his church. Another thirty
and another fifty. One old preacher
who had not said anything, finally
remarked that his church had been
the beneficiary Of q better revival
than any yet reported. How many
converts did you have?' was the III.
quiry. Didn't have any, reported
the old preacher, but We turned
eighteen rascals out"

The Canadian Result.

From the Fargo. N. D.. Courier-News, the
Non-Partisan League Daily Newspaper.
Canada has the f1cart and the deter
mination to "see 1t through" That is the
result to be read from the returns of the
dominion elections, which indicate
strong government victory q victory
fought on the single issue OF CONSUMPTION
versus volunteering.
Canadas decision is extremely signin-
cant to the United States. A land whose
whole tradition and precedent was for
the volunteer method and which only u
few months ago took pride that her sons
turned to the draft as the only fair way
and the only efficient way Those who
said that the draft law in the United
States spelled the political death of those
who voted for it will find themselves very
much mistaken when the issue comes to u
test.
No nation can fight In this war on a
$3.50 basis. 1t must be all in the war or
all is lost. Volunteering Is n $3.50 method.
All citizens in war must yield to the
common will. There will be other tests
OF united power before we are through
with the struggle. War will demand gifts
and service and the nation will take them
with small ceremony. We must yield
BILE over the law of 1t. 1t is o national
necessity, necessity which will brush
aside presidents, but not tho kind of
necessity which will brush aside honor as
Germany has brushed it aside.
Canada's action means something OF
even more direct import TO the United
States 1T is Canada's pledge to her neigh
Dor to remain full partner in the enter
prise of, laying autocracy low.

LAFAYETTE.

From an eulogy by Sargent S. Prentiss.
Though he has passed from among us.
though that countenance will not more be
seen that used to tighten up the van of
freedoms battles as he led her eaglets to
their feast; still he has left behind his bet
ter part; the legacy of his bright example,
the memory of his deeds. The lisping in
FAINT will learn to speak his venerated
name. The youth of every country will be
taught to look upon his career and fol-
low his footsteps When hereafter gal
liant people are fighting for freedom
against the oppressor and their cause be-
gins to wane before the mercenary bands
of tyranny, then the name OF Lafayette
terror on the tyrant's ear and nerve with
redoubled vigor the freeman's arm. AT
that name many a heart before unmoyed
will wake in the glorious cause; and many
a sword, rusting ingloriously in the scab-
bard, will leap forth to battle.
Our departed friend and benefactor has
gone down to the grave peacefully and
quietly at a good old age. He had per-
formed his appointed work. His virtues
were ripe. His character will stand upon
the pages of history pure and unsullied as
the iilied emblem on his country's banner.
He has departed from among US; but he
has again become the companion of Wash
ington. He has but left the friends of his
old age to associate with the friends OF
his youth. Peace to his ashes! Calm and
quiet may they, rest upon some vine clad
hiR of his own beloved land! And it shall
be called the Mount Vernon of France.
Lafayette needs no mausoleum. His fame
is mingled with the nations history. His
epitaph is engraved upon the hearts OF

Berlin Is Puzzled.
From the Now York World

From the New York World
In making his first bow to the main
committee of the reichstag, DR.. Won Kuhl-
mann, the new German imperial foreign
secretary, explained the secret principles
governing the policy of the masters OF
the science of diplomacy in Berlin. The
formula by means of which his predeces-
sors in the foreign office achieved sue
cession of marvellous triumphs during the
past three years is now revealed. In the
Gothic form it reads.
1t is our important duty to study. the
psychology of our enemies to follow their
intrigues and the changing currents OF
public opinion 50 that our ;i hang MAJ may NO.
mics is hard and unbending. and also SO
Shat sharp words may not be said When
the ice on the other side is melting and a
conciliatory feeling is beginning to be
shown
What seems to puzzle the good doctor
most is that the entente allies DO not
throw themselves into Germany's arms
and beg that all past differences be for
gotten. When Germany longs for peace
and sets in operation the machinery to
secure peace, it finds it's enemies spirit
hard and unbending. The Belgians still
resent the invation of their country, the
pillaging of their cities and the enslave-
ment of their people. The French are not
grateful for the devastation OF their prov
inces, the atrocities to which French
women and men in the occupied territory
have been subjected and the destruction
of their homes and shrines. The British
retain a curious old fashioned regard or
the sanctity of treaty rights and are
reused to indignation by Zeppelin raids
OF which hundreds of non-combatants are
the victims And even Americans do not
view with qualification the butchery OF
their own citizens on the high seas or the
sinking of neutral ships and murder OF
crews by submarine commanders.
With that extraordinary gift of tact that
distinguishes the German autocracy, 1t
has created situation that perplexes it.
It's enemies distrust it when it tries to
appear conciliatory, and even insist on
reparation for the outrages they-have en-
dured. This is I brutal world in which
the kind hearted humane and ingenious
statesmen that control Germanys govern
ment suffer the modification of being
misunderstood in whatever they contrive

zens but neutralg everywhere suf-

sugar and all forms OF sweets are like
! wise heat producers though they are
less harmful as such than fats
meats and other forms Of proteins are
20 pc eaten sparingly because OF the
hea! produced in digestion, and the
work they throw on the organs OF di-
gesuon and assimilation. A hot weather
oiet, therefore, should consist largely
OF Wafery fruits and vegetables, and
just enough meat and bread to keep the
machine going.
To promote the elimination Of heat.
plenty OF water should be consumed.
Inc army allowance of water for SOL
uier on the march on a hot day is five
tunes that for a cool day.
Sweet beverages are to be avoided on
not days. They do not assuage the
thirst. Taken in the quantities required
to satisfy the thirst on a hot day, such
beverages may disturb the digestion,
throw the nutrition out of balance,
and produce uncomfortable, if not seri-
GUS disorders. On the other hand, there
is no objection to the use of lemon or
lime water or other fruit waters.
NO form Of alcoholic beverage Is to
be taken. OF course, distilled liquors
are rank poison in hot weather. Beer
Is not SO bad, but it is bad enough.
Beer drinking is the largest single con-
tributing cause of sunstroke, heat
stroke and heat prostration. The ef-
fect of beer drinking tails over into
the next day. The man with the dark
brown taste is in prime condition to be
bowled over by the heat.
The fewer clothes worn the better
The more open the clothes are, the bet
ter. The body is a stove, however quiet
one may be. Do not insulate it. Do not
make it a fireless cooker by wrapping
an excess of clothing around it. The
advantage of tanning is based on the
same principle. We gain in comfort
when we change the air in contact
with the body-the aerial envelope. A
palm leaf fan, self propelled. is better
than no fan at all. And, finally, do not
discuss the heat with any one nor al
low any one to discuss it with you.
