Asked how far ornaments can Re

Robert replied
THAT. In my opinion, i probably the
most difficult problem the peace congress

/ be willing TO disarm until they are sure
of peace and Justice through the opera

any limitation 0f armaments be actually
enforced What assurance can we, have.
for instance. that Germany will not
create an army more or less secretly?
The world did not know how ex-
tensivelv Germany was preparing for war
She might develop another force under

Who Proposed
Present Names
for City Streets?

John c. Mcpherson, who was county
superintendent many years ago, was
the man who originated the present
plan of naming and numbering streets.
says Richmond odd timer"
The national capital, Washington,
d. c., was from the first laid out with
a system of streets somewhat like the
plan adopted in Richmond, and Nc
Pherson had the idea in his mind sew
eral years before he presented it to
council.
Over map of Washington which
hung in his office, he spent many
hours, and street by street worked
out the plan. When he had 1t
completed, he presented it to council
in 1880. The city legislature quickly
saw the benefits of lettered and num-
bered streets over the old and roman
tic. but confusing names, and the
plan was adopted as Mcpherson first
conceived it.

each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag

Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour bile and
poisonous toxins The action of hot
water and limestone phosphate on an
empty stomach is wonderfully invig-
Grating. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and acid

for breakfast.
The millions OF people who are both

stomach trouble: others who have sal
low skins, blood disorders and sickly
compilations are urged to get a quar-
ter pound of limestone phosphate from

A Year of Prohibition

Prohibition has been tested for year in Ind
lana and the opinion expressed by men in all
walks of life, indicates that the state as whole
is satisfied with the experiment. Business
showed no falling off and the wheels of industry
revolved as busily as they did under the wet
regime.
Jas and work houses which formerly were
filled with prisoners, many of whom were inn
prisoned because of intoxication or misdemeanor
and felonies arising from over indulgence in in
toxicants are surprisingly empty of occupants.
1t is not straining logic nor transgressng the
boundaries of probability to say that this condi-
ton is attributable directly to the cessation Of
the liquor traffic in the Hoosier state
Even liberal minded people say they are Won
dering what the effect of national prohibition
will be and are willing to see the nation give it
a thorough going test. The moral question in
volved in the liquor traffic needs no elucidation
and the economic aspects as they reveal them
selves in Indiana after one year of statutory pro-

Marking the Graves of Heroes

Four thousand men Of the American exped-
tionary force are searching for the graves of
Americans who died in battle. According to press
dispatches this search is thorough one. No
labor will be avoided in seeking where the heroes
died and in marking their final resting place.
Should the government at any time decide to
bring the boys back to American soil for inter-
ment in family burial places or in national
cemetery, no trouble will be experienced in 10
eating them.
The final resting place Of heroes who sacri-
feed their lives in behalf of the republic is always
surrounded with solemnity. Citizens Of the re-
public look upon these places with the highest
feeling Of respect and pay to them the highest
homage. Wayne County has a number of her
young men included in the scroll of honor 1t is
a comfort to all who knew these young heroes to
know that our government is fifty marking the
spot where they died.
