 Every Fixture Should Have a Trap.
 As to the plumbing, perhaps you have noticed under q sink a piece of pipe bent to resemble the letter "S" laid on it's side. This is what is known as a trap" Every fixture, and by that is meant the sink, the wash trays. the bath tub, water closet and layatorv, should have trap placed di- rectly below the outlet of the fixture. This is demanded bv all the laws of health and by practically every city as q plumbing ordinance. The reason for this trap is that all of the waste matter from the fixtures passes through this trap on the way to the sewer and ia the bottom of the trap there is always a small quantity Of water which absorbs the gases and odofs which come from the pipes and sewers and prevents these gases and odors from coming back into the rooms, which would cause headaches, sickness and other ills. So, primarily, the first importance of good plumbing requires that every fixture shall be trapped.
 Traps are usually vented, that is, the crown CT top of trap is connect ed fa small ape, which runs ta the outside air. This Is done so that when eyer q large quantity of water or waste matter is discharged through tran CT if aRether fixture nearby is suddenly empded. the suction caused in the pipes bH the sudden rush ef Wa ter prevents the trap from siphoning or running dry, in which case tAare would De no prevention from the gases passing back from another trap into the house. However. there are traps which can he purchased which do not require the eXtra expense of baekyent- ing with an air line. These traps are called non-siphan CT aHfi-sipheu fraps, and are built in such Way that it is impossible fer them to be entirely emp tied of water. but the expense ef in- stallaJten is almost the same in either case.
 Traps Should Be Cleaned.
 The second important item is to see that every trap has a ctean-out that is accessible. and that they are used. For if every trap was cleaned out peri odically by the user, there would he considerably less plumbing bills to pay. for any plumber win tell you that q stuffed-up trap or one that is un- cleaned is the seat of so per cent of the plumbing troubles in every house l; but no one seems to take the trouble of cleaning their traps, because it Is an unpleasant job and will, instead, wait until the traps are stopped up, then call for the plumber. and wonder 1 why the bills are large, when they are caused by their own negligence.

ernments as well as those of the neutrals are
looking to us to lead the way in war as in the
peace to follow. The part which the United
States should play and is expected to play in
the worlds terrible crisis is a large and COM
handing one; it will be great and benificent only
in the proportion that it reflects the degree of
united purpose of the American people.
Seeking for many months to avert the sacri-
fees of war for ourselves-indeed to bring
about peace among the battling nations-at the
end of infinite patience, our government was
forced into the conflict thru the wilful and AFRO
CANT violation of our rights.
1t had long been menaced by constant evil
dence of insidious intrigues against our national
solidarity. No other course was left for an in
dependent and self-respecting people, whether
dictated merely by sense of self-preservation
or the more noble and generous call of contrib
uting our aid to the cause of worldwide freedom
and humanity. Both are threatened today by
an enemy which recognizes neither.
I know of no higher honor or title than to be
an American citizen. The inestimable benefits
of such privilege surely call for the reciprocal
obligation to give to the nation patriotic and
wholehearted allegiance in the defense of it's
rights In the coming over of our bravest sons
in that cause to the shores of Frances splen-
did in this struggle sublime testimony of
fidelity to the best traditions Of American indie
pendence has been furnished both to friend and
foe.

The newspapers, with one voice
continue to belittle America, and
to assure the German public that
there is no possibility OF America
becoming a factor in the war.
One day all the German papers
printed the same statement. II
said that there were &c, 900 Amer

were unframed and undisciplined,
that they had no equipment, and
that they were only in the way OF

At the same time they all I'M

the American soldier: 500

The Antilles, an American
transport, was sunk lastoyear 'on

on this, said that by the time

In every conceivable way the
men running things in Germany
have undertaken to keep from the
German public the real truth con-
corning America. allowing only
enough truth to seep thru to
cover their distortions and deceit.
There Is one kind of Amer

That is news that has to do

Never Laugh ut Wilson
/ doubt not that yesterdays
speech of Sen. Hitchcock at Wash
ington received first page atten-
ton in all the German newspa-
pers, and that the speeches of for
mer President Roosevelt and
Chamberlain Of Oregon, have been
the subject of much comment,
calculated to prove the division in
America over the war.
The German newspapers laugh
at Roosevelt, BUT THEY NEVER
LAUGH AT WILSON.
To them Wilson is always a
malign figure, calling for black
hatred and not ridicule.
The German newspapers express
no liking for any Americans, but
the seem to hate most of all the
so-called German Americans.
i why? Why? Why?
There is a feeling in Germany
that in 1914 the Germans should
have sent back their sons to aid
the Fatherland in it project Of
world conquest.
This might have entailed some
risk, but what Is risk to q super
man, summoned to arms by the
ldivine call of his kaiser?
At any rate, all could have sent
their dollars to the Fatherland to
fight. Why didn't the German
Americans subject themselves to
the same tax conditions as the
Germans at home?
II neither they nor their
dollars could fight, why
didn't they keep America out
of the war?
Why didn't they at least do
that, the German newspapers
want to know?
Many men who today would be
peasants, laborers, or servants,
lust as their fathers before them
had been in Germany, have in
America become merchants, manu-
