MOST DEADLY WAR.

Never in the history ot the world has there been another war so deadly, so cruel, Sc costly, as the war through which we have just come.
 More than 100000 men were slaughtered outright.
 More than 100000 other men were made cripples for the remainder of their lives.
 Twenty-three nations were involved, and on them was settled a debt of about $780, 0O0,0O0,0O0.
 Men have been taxed and are being taxed as they were never taxed before. While France increased her taxes 10 per cent, England increased hers 1000 per cent, and the United States increased hers 2,000 per cent.
 Earnings and savings have been poured into the Treas ury of the United States to an amount exceeding S6,000,- 100000, and the war will leave a net debt on our nation of $22, 1000, ,ooo, ,ooo. The total debt will be $32,ooo,ooo,ooo, of which $1o,ooo, 100000 has been loaned or authorized to be loaned to our Allies.
 But all these sacrifices of wealth in coin are small when compared with the sacrifices of human lives and human happiness troug It on by the conflict.

We took Cuba and said we would give the Cubans their freedom as soon as they were ready for it. We did. We took the Philippines and said we would give them self government as soon as they were able to govern them selves. That was 21 years ago. We haven't done 1t yet but no nation on earth ques- tiOns our intentions in the matter. Japan makes a similar promise regarding Shantung. Perhaps we are not the only honest nation on earth. A good way to breed more wars is to breed distrust among nations.

There seems some justice in the complaint that each self-governing colony of Eng land shall have one vote in the Leagne of Nations assembly, each equal to the vote of the United States. Fixing the vote must have been a knotty problem. Had they based it on population, China and India would have been able to dominate the League. The interests of the United States are adequately Safeguarded in the fact that in the council the vote of the United States equals the vote of England and all her colonies combined and that the United States has an absolute veto power on anything important that is done. This is in the article of the Covenant that calls for anunanimous vote.-Dearbon Independent.

Some opponents of the League of Nations say it is a weak thing that can do no good and is likely to bring us into trouble. Others say that it creates a super-state taking away our i'd viduality as a nation and making us subject to the will of other nations. The fact is: it does neither. It is just a plain, honest, earnest effort to get all the nations of earth to come to an agreement by which they will be prevented from robbing and killing one another.-EX.

Greatest Hero of War
 Weeds Mountain Girl

Try to imagine the most lone some and possibly the most inac- cessible spot in the entire United States.
 A place hidden away, 45 miles from lowland" civilization, in the dense wilderness and un- charted passes of the Cumber- land mountains, in east Tennes- see; reached by roads and paths that are .torturous to travel and which are impossible half of the year save those who go horse back; where nearly all the natives live and dies within few miles of the cabins in which they were born; where bears and foxes roam the woods in almost prime val freedom, where schooling is a rare luxury; and where big ma jority of the men are hunters. and fishermen, fighters and con- sumers of moonshine whisky.
 That's Pail Mall, Fentress coun- ty, Tenness see, which pr )duced Sergeant Alvin c. York, the worlds greatest soldier and the superhero of the great war.
 It is in that spot Sergt. York will be married to Oracle Will Hams. his sweetheart for many years, while the neighbors cele- brate the double occasion of his homecoming and marriage with a great barbucue and Gov. A. H. Roberts of Tennessee performs the ceremony.
 Never was there so much ex- citement in the Pail Mall neigh borhood-no. not even when Ser geant York came home.
 Oracle Williams, the bride. is the daughter of Asbury Williams, mountaineer, farmer and lay preacher. When York was in the training camps and overseas he wrote Oracle regularly, and not long ago they fixed it up"
 And so they'll be married in the midst of those they have known from boyhood and girl hood, and the wedding gift will be a farm.
 Governor Roberts and his staff ! had to drive 50 miles from Cross vile to reach Pail Mall. The bridal couple had been flooded with handsome presents. The wedding ring was presented by

NOVEMBER IN THE
CATHOLIC CHURCHES

Every month of the Christian year is
set aside by the church for some devc-
ton. November is the month of the Holy
Souls, the month when with special
prayer and petitions the 3O0, 900, 900 mem
bers of the church on earth beg for the
speedy relief from purgatorial penalties
of those who have gone beyond with
venial faults, with not sufficient salts
faction rendered for sins and offenses
against the Most High God.
This devotion. founded on the article
of the Apostles Creed 1.-The Communion
of Saints is one of the most consoling
of the many consoling doctrines of the
church.
The Catholic conception of the COM
munion of saints is that the army of God
is a vast multitude divided into three
great divisions. The first division is the
church triumphant in heaven, consisting
of the host of those that in every land
from the beginning have kept the faith,
fought the good fight and now enjoy the
reward laid up for those that love God.
The second great division of the saints
consists of the church on earth, the
church militant. the church engaged in
warfare against the foes of salvation
the world the flesh and the devil
The third division is the church suffer-
ing, the church in purgatory, the wound
ed soldiers, those who in the life beyond
are making atonement for faults, which,
while not sufficient to condemn them
to the place of eternal woe, to the place
prepared for the devil and his angels,
yet are enough to keep them from the
unveiled presence of that God of awful
glory and purity, before even the most
pure angels veil their faces with their
wings,
Now, the church holds that just as in
earthly battles, one division can help an
other when that other is sore pressed,
so, too, the divisions of the army of God.
The church triumphant needs no aid. 1t
has already won victory. but 1t can help
the wounded army and the fighting army
The fighting army can, in turn, help its
own lesser companies and battalions. and
This help, of course, is spiritual for the
fighting is not with earthly arms, but
can bring help to the wounded division
with the weapons Of the spirit, with pray
ers and good works.
Such in brief is the belief, that, AMI
mating the church at ali times, but es-
peciaTly during this month of Novem-
ber induces the faithful to pour forth
unceasing petition and sacrifices for the
relief of the faithful departed.

It's Acid-Stomach That
Makes Millions Sick
and Suffer

II Is q scientific fact that Acid-Stomaeh
robs blood Of its vitality, resulting in fabby
fesh--weakness pale cheeks-loss of energy,
in fact causes many Of the ills Of suffering
humanity.
You know what acid-mouth does to the
teeth and gums-how the acid literally eats
through the hard enamel, causing the teeth to
ache and decay Just imagine, then, what
havoc Acid Stomach must create throughout
the entire body.
Millions Of people are weak and unfit, suf-
fering all the time, in one way or another,
from Acid Stomach.
They don't seem dangerously sick. Just
ailing. Going through life weak. listless, drag
ging one foot after another. They're nervous
and irritable: lack power and punch, frequently
have severe attacks Of binding, splitting
headaches; subject to fits Of melancholia and
mental depression. And nearly always their
stomachs are out Of order, even though many
experience no actualstomach pains digestion
poor-never getting anywhere near the full
strength from their food.
Acid-Stomach interferes with digestion. 1t
causes the food to ferment. This fermenta-
ton creates gas, sometimes causing painful
