Gonorrhoeal infection of iuno- cent children is becoming serious. some cities showing 500 to 1000 such infectious each year. Gonorrhoea causes 60 per cent. of unwiIlingly sterile marriages.
 It may cause foot abscesses, valvu- lar heart troubles. joint diseases, and others. Approximately 80 Of every 100 women, (according to Dr. Morris Korshet, of Passaic, W. J., pro1nin- ent surgeon and author), who die of diseases of the reproductive organs have been infected innocently.

SAID THE TRAFFIC
 COP, SMILNGLY
By William Herscheu.

(From the Indianapolis News.) ''Yes, of course it's all a nuisance, Traffic rules are pests, I know; I'd be glad, if I were captain, Just to wink and let you go. But I'm not-rm just a hireling With my weary rounds to trudge. It's all right with me-but, brother Better go and see the judge.'' Flows that, madam? Amt it
 awful
 You just drove your car down
 town,
 Then dropped in to buy a bonnet, And simple little gown? In the store Just twenty minutes? Ain't time awful in it's flight? See the judge tomorrow morning; Nice young fellow-he's all right" "Oh, your watch stopped? Ain't
 that madd'ning?
 Mine stopped, too, the other day, Nearly made me late to rollcall; Guess I'll give the thing away. Tell the judge just how it happened; Judge is nice-he'n understand. Tell him you were three hours over Blame it on the minute hand" "Wife forgot to telephone you Where she'd parked the car7-

The subject of venereaI disease, vice and its prevention, is more serious and larger problem than most people realize. Some never even give 1t a thought until it sadly enters their homes or attacks their own person. It Is the largest of plaques and the greatest curse to mankind. It is the duty of every intelligent person to become interested, gain a knowledge of the starring facts and lend their human efforts to eliminate and drive out this social and eco homie disease from out midst
 Recent investigations show that & degenerative influence has paved the way for many modern diseases, until it has become & real menace. This we have definitely determined to be the venereal disease. These cause the deaths of 250,0 900 people directly and indirectly each year. They cost the lives of 500,000 prostitutes every six years. One-eight of all human dis ease and suffering is due to these. Sixty per cent of all males are at sometime in their lives diseased with them.
 Sixty per cent. of the inmates of our insane asyIums are there be- cause of them. Fully eight per cent. of children born with sight. but blind within a few days, owe their mis-

CHAPTER VI.
pemocracy's WORT Enemy.

The great military machine which
the kaiser had built up during the first
90 years OF his reign "for the purpose
OF maintaining peace" was constantly
itching for war. There was Il feeling
among the mllitarists that while 1t
was all right for the kaiser to assume
the role OF the "Prlnce of Peace" dur
Ing the period of preparation, II was
possible TO everyday the part. He so
frequently referred to the fact that
his sole purpose In maintaining a large
army and navy was to maintain peace
that the war lords of Germany began
to fear that perhaps he might mean 1t.
The murder of the Archduke Franz
Ferdinand, the successor to the Aus
trlan throne, and his wife by n Ser
blan on June 90, 1914, gave Germany
the excuse for which she had beer
waiting so long TO start a European

anxious for war as her ally.
