From time immemorial cer- tain aromatic oils have been rubbed on the skin to keep mosquitoes away. For an equally long period alkalies have been applied to the bites to neutralize the poison of the stings. No one ever thought to combine the two-aro- matic oils and alkalies-but Tyree's Antiseptic Powder. the great germ destroyer. is aromatic and alkaline in just the proportion best suited to prevent and destroy the bites and stings of mosquitoes and ell insects.

SHAW BACKS WILSON.

Following the publication of the peace treaty the radical socialist pubIiCsts, not only in Europe but also in America assaled Presi- dent Wilson charging him with weakly yieId- ing to the European diplomats and agreeing to an unjust treaty. One socialist publication published an article under the head of "A Tragic Failure' relative to President Will sons part i'll the conference
 This article came to the notice of George Bernard Shaw, Itngand's noted author and dramatst who admonished the magazine cd- tor as follows:
 Be careful about Wilson. There is a case against Wilson, but 1t is the case of Tom Paine against Washington; and l think you will admit, in the perspective of history, that Paine got his values Wrong Wilson has had an impossible task; and years will elapse be fore his success or failure can be estimated. Even those behind the scenes, who alone know the understandings by which the parties have squared each other, cannot place him as we can now place Washington or Lincoln. What is certain is that he succeeded in making himself the spokesman of the right side when he entered the field, and backed him accord- inglv, and shall continue to do so until | find a better man to back Don't raise an alarm of damp sheets when there Is a fire to put out.

THE PRICE OF WHEAT
(From the New York WOrld.)

There has been under cultivation for seV- eral months past the notion that the gov ernment's guaranteed price of $22O a bushe for this years wheat crop was far too high It was not only far too high but it was res ponsble for soaring prices in corn and every thing else agricultural or otherwise. COnsc- quently, the solution of the high-price prob lem became perfectly simple. Let the govern ment stand by its guarantee to the wheat farmer, of course, but pull out the peg arbi- trarily holding up wheat and down would go that price and the price of all other foods together.
 That was the situation when Chairman Julius Barnes of the United States wheat cor poration was suddenly called to Washington to answer if he could, the question, why not ?
 The answer was that our own wheat har vest is 4OOOOO,OOO bushels short of the June promise. Europe's crop, outside of Russia, is also 4OOOOOOOO bushels short, and no help can come from Russia. Argentine wheat is costing Europe 50 cents a bushel more to i'm port than American wheat Western Europe's wheat is selling there at S3.75 a bushe Other prices are not following the wheat price in the United States but are widely divergent as a rule, wheat being held down and other food commodities having no top.
 It was not a rational thOery that Mr. Barnes punctured It was a myth, and the myth was exploded just as congress was pre- pared to swallow 1t whole The wheat crop will be marketed as planned on the basis of the guaranteed price until at least the price in the worlds market has fallen below this guaranteed price.

further assurance of peace Such agreements would include special treaties for compuI,or, arbitration and military conventions that are generally defensive.
 The Monroe Doctrine and similar under estandngs are put in the same category They have shown themselves in history to be not instruments of national ambition, but guaran- tees of peace.
 "The origin of the Monroe Doctrine is well known. It was proclaimed in 1923 to prevent America from becoming a theatre for the intrigues for European absoIution
 At first principle of American for eign policy, it has become an international understanding, and it is not illigitimate for the people of the United States to ask that the covenant should recognize this fact In its essence it is consistent with the spirit of the covenant, and indeed the principles of the league, as expressed in Article \, represent the extension to the whole world the principles of the doctrine;
 Even Senator lodge should not want q better definition as to the attitude taken by the league of nations toward the Monroe Doc trne
 The Shanulng peninsula, says the report, should be given to China instead of to Japan. Which amounts to saying that it was all very proper for Germany to have the Shantung concessions, but the United States will not ac- cede to them, rcverting to Japan Germany to l9l4 During this time Mr. Lodge was a member of the senate, and with the exception of the last two years of that period, the re- publican party was in poWcr yet at no time either he or any other republican senator ever expressed any dissatisfaction with the ar rangement To the average observer, 1t ap- pears that this anxiety over China comes a trife late in the day. Suppose Japan doesn't agree with Mir. Lodge, ct aI., and and holds her allies, France. Great Britain and Italy to their agreements, will the opponents of the treaty have the United States go to war about it: In probably no other way could the sug- gested change be effected under such cir CumstanCes
 The real spirit of the majority report shows clearly in its conclusion. The United States, by reason of its superior resources, its better CODClJlOllS at lIt CIONt Ol lIlt war, IOQS a pre-eminent position in world affairs. Hay ing the upper hand, says the report, we would be fools not to make the most of 1t. The rest of the world can get our assistance only if it accepts our conditions, and if they don't get that assistance they stand to lose evcry- thing Germany, in 1914, reasoned along similar lines. They said; I've are powerful enough to take what we want Why consider the rights of others Let's look out for our selves and the devil help those who cant help themselves" In the latter instance, Germany counted on the might of her armies, her superior equipemnt and readiness for war, In the present case, 1t IS suggested that Ameri- ca rely upon the want and misery of the world and the ability of America to cure these suf- ferings to force her own terms
 Such a policy is not consistent with American ideals and if submitted to the Coun- try would not only be overwhelmingly re jeCted but its authors absolutely repudiated.

THE MAJORITY REPORT.

The ma aOrity report of the senate foreign relations committee on the peace treaty IS now before the senate. From it, it seems apparent that the treaty has been regarded more in the light of political football than an instrument to insure future peace. It is significant that nine out of ten republican members of the senate were the only signerS, while one repub- liCan, Senator MCCumber, and seven demo- crats refused to sign 1t.
 In an attempt to arouse public antagon- ism to the league of nations, 1t states that 1t IS not league but merely an alliance and asserts that 1t will breed wars rather than prevent them. The statement is unsupported by proof of any kind, but further down one might get the impression that such wars would be caused by the alleged abrogation of American rights and invasion of American sOverelg gnty.
 It has yet to be shown that the SOVereign- ty of America has been invaded, or can be, under the covenant of the league of nations. No right of any nation is questioned But the rights of all nations are equally upheld, the small with the great, the weak with the powerful. In such league there is nothing but what is consistent with American prin- eipes and ideals
 The ma jority report would have it fixed so that AMERICA could withdraw at any time from the league. If America, why not any other or all nations? If such an under standing be incorporated into the covenant the formation of the league will be almost inn possible and if formed powerless to accomp fish anything as it would be impossible to en- force obligations on any member By refus- ing to be a party to Article X, the republican, majority in effect approves of the right of might. Article X provides for the protection of the territory of member states of the league from foreign invasion It is an effective guar antee that there will be no more Asace LOT raine incidents.
 As was expected the report makes what capital it can out of the Monroe Doctrine. It is right that the principle should be safe guarded, but the peace conference has already looked out for that matter The British White Book, recently issued in explanation of the peace treaty and the league of nations cove nant refers to this phrase of the conference as follows:
 Article XXI makes it clear that the covenant is not intended to abrogate or weak en any other agreements, so long as they are members of the league may have en- tered, or may enter hereafter, for the

l he thawing of mining ground by usus gravity water is proving very economical and satisfactory means of operating the gold-ships on Otter creek this summcr. Both the Riley Investment company and Deaton X Donnellcy have done away with the expensive and laborious system of lhawng by steam, thereby ctfecting a daily saving of at least $500 on each dredge.
 By the graylty-Water system about une-fOurth the amount of labor is re- quircd to keep plenty of ground pre- pared in front of the machines as by the steam process, and the saving of from l2 to l. cords of wood daily (ayoraging at least $l5 a cOrd) to- gcthcr with eliminating the greater part of the "point men and the wear and up-kecp of huge boilers and other equipment, certainly re- duces the operating expenses 10 d minimum.

The success ct the Interstate
Doctors in the treatment q chronic
diseases has been largely due TO the
fact that they combine all the known
and latest method, in the treatment
OF disease.
The best thought Of medical science
has been constantly searching for
more direct methods for curing those
old lingering diseases other than by
the long tedious drug route. Only a
few years ago a great German scien-
tist discovered what he believed an
absolute cure by direct treatment for
one OF the most dreadful diseases Of
civilization. Any honest physician
will agree that il formerly required
from two TO three years internal
medication to obtain this ,are result.
II has been absolutely proven that
some OF the worst cases of Briyhts
disease have been cured by few
painless direct treatments. That won

The text OF the proclamation fol-
