WAR PROBLEMS; PEACE OFFERS
The trouble with discussing the
Austrian peace offer, or any other
made by the two burglar governments
we are fighting, is that any words,
promises and treaties that Germany
and Austria may make are not worth
as much as counterfeit cent piece.
Anyone who attaches the slightest
value to any agreement they make, is
too innocent lamb to live in this
wicked world.
When our troops have occupied a
good slice Of German territory, then
will be time to discuss peace terms.
Then we can,sit down for brief sea-
son and say: Mr.. Kaiser, we don't
place the lightest reliance in your
word. and don't consider that any
agreement you may make with US Is
worth two cents. We hold this ter
ritory of yours and propose to hold it
until such time as you make due re-
paration for your infamous deeds.
When you get ready to come across
and give some positive evidence you
won't dc it again, you can have back
your territoy, but not until then.
Then the kaiser might make real
peace offer. Any talk of peace pre-
vious to that time leads people to let
up a little on those continuous sacri-
fees that are necessary to maintain
high scale of military and mechani-
cal effort.
No doubt the war lords have put out
this peace offer at time when they
think it will hurt the sale of Liberty
bonds. There are some people who
will give it as an excuse for not buying
bends. that peace will soon be under
discussion and they will not need to
come across so heavily as before.
This is not the case. There will be
no peace until the German people are
thoroughly licked and have finally got
it into their heads that starting wars
is not business proposition. Other
wise we shall have another war to
pay for within few years. 1t is
cheaper to pay the bill all-at once.

To Relieve Burns Quickly

There is no other minor injury
quite as painful as a burn, and, to the
housewife constantly about hot stove
nc injury quite so common.
The quickest way to relieve the pain
to take out the fire" as the old
saying has it's to battle a burn
with a saturated solution of 20 Mule
Team Powdered Boric, using ore
quart of Boric with quart of water.
If the burn is deep apply with alb
scrbent gauze lotion made of 8 OF.
lime water, 8 OF. raw linseed oil and
rs grains of thymol. This lotion is
cooling and healing and tends to pre-
vent the pickering and drawing Of the
injured skin into the<scar.
If the burn is severe, physician
should be called at once and the in
jury given professional attention.

for in those places we are about 10
miles from nowhere and too busy to
