The Many Mysteries
of Nature
~ .. M. BOWER. M. ID.


You can take an onion seed and a pansy
seed, and plant them side by side in the
same spot of ground. In one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get flower Of
rare beauty. You can plant poppy seed
and get opium "a dangerous, habit-forming
drug, or you can rl,1t rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation. No
scientist, living or dead, can explain these
mysteries of Nature. Behind the invisible
life germ in each seed is hidden the deep
secret that nobody understands. Every
thing growing out of the ground seems in
tended for some use in establishing natural
conditions. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N Y,
long since found out what is naturally best
for woinen's diseases. He learned it all
through treating thousands OF cases. The
result of his studies was a medicine called
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable growths that
nature surely intended for backache, head
ache, weakening drains, bearing-down
pains, periodical irregularities, pelvic in
Examinations. 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, uni
corn root, blue cohosh root and Oregon
grape root. Women who take this stand
ard remedy know that in DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription they are getting .
safe woman's tonic so good that druggists
everywhere sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no mar
cotic. DR.. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine. that whisky
and morphine are injurious. and so he has
always kept them out of his remedies.

What Wilson Said.

President Wilson's fifth clause, in
the notable fourteen points, asks for
"a free, open-minded and absolutely
| impartial adjustment Of all colonial
claims based upon strict observance
of the principle that In determining
all such questions of sovereignty the
interests of the populations concerned
must have equal weight with the oqui-
table claims OF the government whose
title is to be determined"
The whole point at issue. according
to this recently published British view,
| is that no government shall claim ex-
elusive title to the captured lands but
that one government must take the
responsibility of administration and be
| tribunal.
Clause twelve of the presidents
peace terms provide for the looping
off of Armenia and Palestine from
Turkey and Insist that these one-time
subject states shall ''be assured an I'M
doubted security of life and an abso-
lutely unmolested opportunity Of au-
tonomous development" which oppor-
tunity, il is pointed out here, would
most assuredly be provided were
| America acting as kind of big broth
er to the Armenians and people of Pal
estine.
There is hope here among the most
far-seeing British thinkers that Amer
lea will discard her traditional aloof-
ness. and become custodian of the Ar
menians, of Palestine, and take charge
even of the Dardanelles. maintaining
an open-door policy, policy the Brit
| ish will undoubtedly strongly urge on
the French and italian governments as
an expedient in wise territorial govern
ment.
II is even being urged that we take
over the task of preserving the au-
tonomy of Persia and Arabia.
That America possesses knowledge
for handling such a large assignment
Is undoubted. II is pointed out that

slons in the near East have given US

tories is the most difficult of the ques-
tons which the conference has to face.
From a hundred lips and pens the
answer will come that the solution lies
in international control. The league Of
nations will solve the problem.
The booklet then emphasizes that
the league of nations. in itself. cannot
provide actual government for the col
onies: that government must be fur
nished by one of the associated pow
ers. acting in a way as agent for the
league of nations and of course respon-
sible to the league.

But what is the effect Of this vic
tory to be on Asia. Africa and the
scattered remnants of primitive so
ciety who inhabit a hundred Pacific
isles? In the end the effect must be
that they. too. will achieve the art
Of governing themselves. But the

There is no sentiment expressed in

fort TO make these points harmonic

which he wrote to the words of Eu-

he sang 1t was to some of his COM

Then his wife died His brother
went to Paris and passed himself off
as author of the famous air
The two misfortunes worked disas-

gan to drink heavily and conceived
for all music dislike so strong that
he would leave cafe if any one be-
gan to sing or play some musical in,
strument.
Then the Germans came. Degeyter
suffered acutely from having to work
for them on the town water supply.
When the typhus epidemic spread he
was ordered to report at the military
hospital and one day he failed to pre-

the evening he hanged himself.
He is buried in the cemetery near
