PROPER AMERICAN IS SIMS
Has Obtained and Retains Gen.

Rear Admiral Sims came quietly
speech or two, and when he left he
had Washington hanging to his very
abbreviated jacket tail. Folks here
certainly did like the admiral. A
popular idol tia obtains the pldudits
Of Washington Is pretty good.
These are some of the things the
people liked about the admiral: He
said very positively that he will not
write n book on the war: he referred
to the navy's part in the war as Its
"stunt"; he boosted General Pershing
to the skies, indicating that the ad-
miral is without Jealous streak; he
referred jocularly to himself as 1.-The
only rear admiral in captivity" and
said he was glad to exhibit himself II
the folks wanted to see him; and,
best of all, he took time to talk with
every one who could squeeze word
into his ears.
Down at the Union station, when the
admiral was boarding his private car.
q gr0y-ha1red woman rushed up and
shook his hand warmly.
"This is the prOudest day Of my life,
admiral" she said. II now have
shaken hands twice with you a..
All right. my dear lady, the ad'
miral replied, raising his cap. "fm
glad If meeting me pleases you. Come
around again the next time I'm In
town and we'll shake q third time."'
If any further proof that the I'D
miral Is human were, needed, it might
be stated that he plays rafting

OLD THINGS UNDER THE SUN
Democracy in Ancient Jewish Days and
the League Of Nations,
Are Two.

The democratic Idea is Of great antiq-
uity. the Christian Herald reminds its
readers. Under the prophets and
judges, Israel was democracy. 1t was
not until they were fascinated by the
barbaric splendor and unrestrained IL
cense Of the heather nations around
them that they began to be dissatisfied
with their own simple ways and to long
for a king and a snowy court. It was
the lure Of sin and worldly vanity.
Samuel warned them against courts
and kings and told them of what would
happen, but his warnings went unheed-
ed. The vision Of the age Of peace
began as early as eight centuries B. c.,

but 1t was not until the Christian era
that the world change In the existing
order fully dawned upon the Mods Of
men. The idea Of league Of nations
Is not new. Such league was fore
Swallowed by Jean Bloch, in his re-
markable book, THE Future Of War"
issued 20 years ago. 1t was also fore
seen by Emanuel Kant, who, in his es-
say on Perpetual Peace" wrote that
the law of nations must be based on
the federation of free states. At diff
ferent times leaders in national and
international reform have had visions
Of such league, but always as a pos
sibility Of the remote future 1t has
remained for the United States to
promulgate it at a time when the
world seems prepared to listen.

headache, backache and worry, turn to
the right prescription, one gotten up by
DR.. Pierce fifty years ago.
Everything growing out of the ground
seems intended for some use in establish
ing natural conditions. DR.. Pierce, Of
Buffalo, N. Y, long since found out what
is naturally best for women's diseases.
He learned it all through treating thou
sands of cases. The result of his studies
was medicine called DR.. Pierce's Favor
tie Prescription. This medicine is made
OF vegetable growths that nature surely
intended for backache, headache, weak
ening, bearing-down pains, Irregularities,
pelvic inhammations, and for the many
disorders common to women in all ages of
life. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
made Of lady's slipper root, black cohosh
root, unicorn root, blue cohosh root and
Oregon grape root. DR.. Pierce knew,
when he first made this standard medi-
cine, that whiskey and morphine are in
furious, and so he has always kept them
out Of his remedies. Women who take
this standard remedy know that in DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription they are
getting a safe woman's tonic so good that
druggists everywhere sell it, in liquid OF
tablet form.
