The Kaiser Buys Liberty Bonds.

Omaha World-Herald: In a recent

charge of by the government, invest
ed IN Liberty bonds and the interest
will help feed Pershing's men. Great
wooden mills over in New Jersey,
which were wont to send large divi-
dends back to Berlin, are now send
ing these dividends to Washington.
Great metal, mining, and mineral
companies all over the United States,
owned with German money, are work
ing night and day, three shifts to the
day, to produce material for the
United States army. 1t has been
found that in several of the big con-
Germs in this country the kaiser per-
sonally owns stock, so he is con-
tributing to the Liberty loan, which
will make the world a safe place in
which to live.

TODAYs BIT OF VERSE
THE DUST.

THE DUST
am the dust, and creep and crawl
In at the window and over the WALL
Over the pictures and over the books
And gather to rest in the unswept hooks
/ am part of all that has been,
Living dead the world within,
Dissolved by time and freed by rust
To million million fragments of dust.
Dust OF the monarch and dust of his crown;
Dust of the cap and bells of the clown;
Dust of the warrior and dust of his sword
Aud dust of all the hosts of the Lord.
Dust Of the slayer and dust Of the slain
Dissolved in the whfrling void again;
Dust of the women who gave them birth;
And dust of all living dead Of the earth
Out in the farthest atmosphere
] float and drift drift in here;
Shining in rays Of the uttermost stars
AS shine in the beams OF the easement bars.

oLD.FAsHION REMEDIES.

At time when an epidemic amounting to
what some persons consider a national catas-
trophe is sweeping over our country, it seems
fitting that we should utilize each help, how
ever humble its origin, in order to successfully
combat this evil.
a Our forefathers on the farm knew little of
scientific methods and were often without
medical aid; their contemporaries in village
and city were but little better off; still, though
their death rate was high-as ancient GENE
Iteries bear misunderstanding the limited
means at their disposal, many wonderful cures
were accomplished and we may well apply to
modern conditions some of their hard earned
knowledge.

the old-fashion remedies-for example, the

endorses the statement of medical practitioner
at Des Moines who was quoted in The Gate

THE PURPOSES OF THE WAR.

Sneaking with felicity, as he always does
tho president stated not long ago in New YORK
Citv that the war has well-defned purposes
.swhich were not clear at the outset but are
now But is not this statement too broad
Would it not be closer to the truth to say that
the purposes of this war were not clear TO al
men at the outset, though others saw Ihelll
clearly at the start? Sir Edward Grey saw III
stantly what the war meant, what Germany III
tended and what England's duty was. vas
Albert of Belgium ever for moment IN douos
what the purposes of the war were or what
nath honor marked out for him? The states
men of France were under no Illusions Inc
statesmen Of Japan reached their conclusions
quickly, and hosts of Americans saw at glance
that an issue had been raised and conflict be-
gun which was to divide the nations into two
great groups, and only two, and to remake the
world. How long did Canada have to ponder
the matter before the purposes OF the war were
clear? The fact is that the events OF the hrst
five days of August, 1914, -Gernany declar-
alton of war on Russia on the first, her occupa-
ton of Luxembourg on the second, her INVASION
Of Belgium on the fourth, and England's ac-
ceptance of the German challenge on the NTH
were like lightning flash at night when
lighted all the earth and showed the nations,
except our own which proclaimed It's neutrality
on the fourth, the momentous thing which had
come upon the world.
When our civil war began, men OF vision saw
that it meant the doom and death of slavery,
though no one knew just how it would come
about. When this war began, men OF vision
saw that it meant the end Of autocracy and the
characterization of the world, though no one
knew how this result would be worked out
Perhaps it would be truth to say that the
European statesmen who had carried the bur-
den of the fear of general war upon their
minds for years and years were first to realize
that testing time had come for all mankind !;
and that reason did not see the purposes OF
this war as soon and certainly as intuition did.

The bureau of animal industry of the United
States department. of agriculture is doing a
worthy service in its tuberculosis eradication
work throughout the country. 1t has published
an accredited list of more than one thousand
herd owners whose cattle have been found free
from tuberculosis and it is stated that the num-
Der of accredited herds is rapidly increasing.
The bureau is carrying a cooperative tuber-
culosis eradication campaign in forty states In
all of which veterinary inspectors are located
and who are prepared to cooperate with any
breeder or dairyman in testing his herd.
Certificates of freedom from tuberculosis are
soon to be issued by the bureau Of animal in
dustry to all owners of the herds which have
passed the tests required by its veterinary In
spectors and are entitled to place in the &C
credited list. The bureau has proved that pre-
iventive measures are of the utmost Importance
in the eradication of bovine tuberculosis and
owners of herds will play safe by giving adj
herence to the suggestions of those who are
skilled in the treatment of the disease.

The chairman of the war industries board
and the congressional leaders have decided that
no further effort will be made by congress to
continue the period of the daylight saving law,
and the hands of all clocks in the nation will
be turned back an hour on October twenty
seventh. 1t might better have been otherwise.
Now that the people have become accustomed
to the conservation of time as made possible
through statute, they seem to be unanimous in
praise of the innovation. Still, there may be
another thought coming from the powers that
be at Washington. So, let's hope.
