of nations, of creating and maintain ing a league to enforce peace even by force or arms, precisely as our cities are now policed to restraint the evil minded, such a federation of the world is now made possible by improved means of transportation and communi- cation. This very war will bring it ages nearer by nation contact. It is not strange that America, the youngest among the nations. should be called in the providence of God to save the world in this crisis, and probably to lead in world reconstruction, world federation, and world-pcace?
 Let us take hope, my fellow op- ponents of unnecessary war; for out of evil shall come good. Let us not s,op now to discuss what we shall do after peace comes: first We must get pea , by victory, and that is some dis tance away.

WHY THAT LAME BACK

That morning lameness--those sharp pains when bending or lifting, mako work burden and rest im- possible. Don't be handicapped by bad back--look to your kidneys; You will make no mistake by following this mans example.
 !. M. Johnson, carpenter. 2625 w.. Fifty-ninth St., Seattle. Wash, says "A cold weakened my kidneys and after that had a great deal of kidney trouble. My back was lame and 1t felt as though the muscles were all drawn up and stiff. My kidneys didn't act right at all and the secretfons were highly colored. l had to get up often at night. Doan's Kidney Pills gave me a complete and lasting cure. l am now free from kidney trouble Tn spite of my age, which is past sixty years

money at once than to dribble it along as the world has been doing In keep up a vast naval and military sys- tenn? It will be worth all 1t costs if we can only free the world from fu- ture wars and make self government safe and assured.
 Now you see why I find myself on the other side of the fence. 1 don't w ste much time in reading arguments Us 70 which side started the thing, or whether our side or the other commits more atrocities; also as to whether we should keep our forces at home for our own defense or send them over seas to aid. The thing which makes me a denatured pacifist, which de- horned met or rather made me put on my horns), is that somebody has kndled a fire which threatens to burn up the worlds best property; that my home and yours is endangered. l want to put out that fire and l want to do it thoroughly.
 Having become converted to neces- sity, am l less opposed to war? No, am more than ever convinced of the folly the horror the utter uselessness of war; consequently want to banish it from the list of possible things. tlis can be done only by thorough eradication. To save a mans life a surgeon will cut away an affected lart; will thoroughly scrape and clean he adjacent portions in order 10 pre- yent a return of the disease. l want 70 make a good job of this cleaning out the cancer of war from the body polite. l want no halfway measures My sympathy is dulled by the awful ness of the thing and the possibility hat it may come again. The flower of my college boys is gone-and gone to no purpose whatever if we leave the
 ling unsettled. My sSmpathies are ouched by letters from anxious moth rs, begging me to find some way of
 wing their sons; but unless future
 foty from impossible theories Is as- slred, later mothers will continue to lose their sons.
 am convinced of one thing: That when the women have a voice in the conduct of public affairs they will show that they have always fought the two W's of world sin, viz, war and Whiskcy. But the women will never get the opportunity unless democracy prevails. The present Emperor of Ger many years ago voiced the attitude of absolution when he said that woman's sphere should be confined to children, cooking, and the kitchen.
 Meanwhile my fellow pacifists, we must kill the snake and not simply scotch i.. Here may be the long-de- shred opporttnitv of forming q family

 am nearing 60 years of that thing we call ife For more than 30 years | have been a school teacher and have given good (and, no doubt, bad) ad- vice to thousands of young people. l have my likes and dislikes; my hob bies and my hopes. My lifelong dis like has been war and my lifelong hope has been for perpetual peace.
 Both by temperament and physical endowment am a pacifist As boy did not play baseball because the condition of my eyes prevented my seeing the ball before it hit me. The same weakness barred me from tennis. 1 could have played football, but l never felt any desire to kick the other fellow in the head, and l felt real unwilingness to have him kick me. 1 never fired a gun in my life.

 Under license granted by the Uni versity of Chicago, in the old uni versity extension days, I put to sleep as many audiences in the Middle West as any man on the lecture platform with my "War and Peace in Ameri- can History" In this discourse l in dicted war as a thief In the night, who unexpectedly invaded our homes stole our sons, our property, our sense ol justice, our personal liberty, and our civilization. l proved, at least to my own mind, that in this advanced age of the world and with The Hague program before us, we shoud never have another world war. l now face once more tho great lesson which eX- pcrience has many times tried to drill into my skull. that I can not make a thing true by thinking it is so.
 When the present war broke out was sorely disappointed. Then l sud denly recalled that l had long beer thinking the present head of German intended to have a try at the old game before he quit his job, and since His Highness came into the world, about the time My I4owness did. he is no longer young and consequently had not much time left in which to find an excuse to start something.

Save More Babies

IF the State of Florida does her
part in the public campaign Of
saving one hundred thousand
lives under five years in the T.
nited States, her quota is approx
mately nine hundred and twelve
-seventy-three per cent. Of these
die under one year. The State
Health Department realizes that
the infant mortality in this State
is entirely too high, and shall aid
in every way practicable that
Florida may reach her quota. We
feel that Florida should keep Up
her quota, if possible; not so much
to prove her loyalty, but to do her
duty toward the little helpless
ones.
We hope that this child-welfare
campaign will not only save one
hundred thousand lives during
the year, but will convince the
most skeptical that health within
certain limitations is purchasable,
and that infant mortality is de-
creased by increasing child-wel-
fare work. If as much money
were appropriated for the first
five years of school life, there
would be no question of decreas-
ing the present infant mortality
rate.
Statistics show that infant NOR
tally campaigns consistently pro
duced reductions in death-rate

The figures for New York show
that the number of deaths for one
thousand births in the first year
Of fife has steadily declned since
determined campaign to "Save
the Babies" was started, But the
great value to the country of the
cbild-weIfare work WIFI not be
limited to one hundred thousand
lives
In the elimination of more of
the causes Of infant mortality, the
the health of the children will no
doubt be improved and the NOR
bidity rate be reduced. The chill
dren-the future American-will
be started on their Journey with
proper care, wholesome food and
much better promise Of saccess in
life.

in the United States one in ten

The Correct Words 10 Use

Dear Editor Herald: ] am 30
proud 10 observe that such DIS
tinguished editor as yourself
should call upon 4 little girl Ike
me to pass judgment as 2 critic
On the use Of words, that ] believe
II shall use up al my space m
thanking you. Ny father said
/ this morning that he thought IT
was 80 much easier to get one 3
name in the paper by writing
few lines than by carrying IN TO
the editor a basket Of beans, or a
small pig, or a prize watermelon,
or the like, and that he'd be bless
/ ed If he didn't believe the editor
would be better pleased with the
simple, plain, ordinary, long
green. and then he could 60 out
and squander it in any economical
manner he liked. But my father
is given 10 humor at times, for he
knows that, while I appreciate
highly the honor Of aiding an edi-
tor, / do not render such aid for
the sake Of getting my name in
the paper; but, on the contrary, ]
respond when called upon in or
der TO do something in the world
and help out when and where
needed. And I feel sure that ev-
eryOne who carries present to
the editor Of The Herald does If
through pure friendship and
goodness of heart.
The use Of the word reaping"
in the context TO which my att"n-
ton was called in last week 3 Her
aid is correct though sntiquated,
and ! was sorry to see the inferno
CATION mark following Il. II is
true "reaping" means to cut with
a scythe, sickle, or any kind OF
reaping machine, and it also
means to gather by cutting, as q
crop. Tire correct use of this
word reaping" is shown in
quotation from book thought by
many to be an excellent work and
called the Bible, and is as follows:
"When We reap the harvest Of
your land, thou should not wholly
reap the corners Of thy field. j"
The word Harvesting" is more
modern and possibly broader, as
! it may mean any kind Of crop or
result.
The words mentioned in the
paragraph alluded to, "rcaping, +"
and harvesting" gathering, "
and "picking," are used inter
changeably by the best speakers
and writer's in the country; and,
while some publications prefer
one Of the terms, another will use
different one.
There is some difference, how
ever, and that is with respect to
| the use of the word "picking. "
This word carries with it the
sense of separating, removing, or
pulling away, especially with the
fingers, and on that account it is
preferred when the digits are in
action, as to pluck flowers from
the bed, to gather, as fruit from a
tree, to pick oranges, and to
! pick--rags. of the
