A LEAGUE OF FRIENDSHIP

Human thought everywhere and in all ages has been
saturated with the conception that the natural and nee
essary between nations is one of cnrnity, and that this
enmity can be kept from expressing itself in violent avis
Of aggression only when selfish interest happens, for the
moment, to lie on the side of peace and the forms OF
friendship. That conception persists. 1t has a marked
influence in shaping public thought with reference ~ a
league of nations. No matter what tentative plan is sug-
ambition and cupidity from precipitatins war as in the
past.
If it is true that the dominant influence in the life
of nations is and will continue to be the desire to rob
and Cypress, and in. every other imaginable way to gain
advantage at the expense of another, then WI may as
we'll drop all thought of a league Of nations anG accept
the law Of the jungle as the permanent rule Of life, con-
centrate our attention on the things with which we can
rend. tear and destroy, and abandon all thought OF those
things which tend to vitalize and humanize mankind.
Fortunately, nothing of the sort is true. 1t is not
true in the lives Of individuals. 1t is true of some indi.
viduals, but they constitute a small minority. Most men
il given half a chance, will show themselves to be good
neighbors and good friends. The nation is, in very large
measure, a creation of mutual friendship having for one
of its important objects the protection of society at large
from the depredations of the few who would despoil it
That spirit will be expressed in international affairs as
democracy makes itself felt. And with all its horrors
the war which has swept over the world like a fiery
tempest has created the necessity for higher standards
of international living. and has tended to make possible
for tomorrow that which, without it might not have
come for generations.
The world league which is about to be formed Will
be a league of friendship and not of enmity.

DAILY HEALTH. TALKS
Going Back to Nature :.
BY DR.. w. c

-N By LIN. w. OCAS. @4
People get sick because they go
away from Nature, and the only way
to get well is to go back. Something
grows out of the ground in the form
of vegetation to cur almost every Ill.
Some of these vegetable growths are
understood by man, and some are not.
Animals. it would seem, know what
to do when they are sick better than.
men n women. Observers. have
noted that a sick horse, dog or cat will
stop eating food and seek out some
vegetable growth in the field or yard,
which, when found and eaten, often
restores appetite and health. Haven't
you seen these animals do this very
thing yourself?
DR.. Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. 2, long
since found the herbs and roots pro-
vided by Nature to overcome con-
stipation, and he had these vegetables
collected and made up of Mayapple,
leaves of Aloe, root of Jalap, into little
white sugar-toated pills. hat he called
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. You
must understand that when your in
testines are stopped up, poisons and
decayed matter are imprisoned in.
your system, and these are carried by
the blood throughout your body.
Thus does your head ache, you get
dizzy, o can't sleep. your skin nay
break out, your appetite declines, you
get tired and Respondent. AS a mat
ter Of fact, you may get sick all Over.
Don't you see how useless all this suf-
fering is? All that is often needed ia
a few OF DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets,
which he has placed in all drug stores
for your convenience and health. Try
them by all. means. They are prob
ably the very thing you need right
now.

UNANIMITY OR MAJORITY?

WOULD COMBINE
PHONE PLANTS
Movement to Eliminate
Competition in Telephone
Exchange is General.

Minneapolis, jan. 1.-THE move.
ment to eliminate competition in tele-
phone exchanges has extended all over
the United States and is increasing in
force and volume. IT,
Los Angeles has just completed a
consolidation Of the several telephone
exchanges operating in that city; in
western New York, a similar move.
ment has been in progress; on July
l., 1913, the order Of the Minnesota
railroad commission went into effect
directing such action between the
les in Minnesota and at the same time
the city council Of this city acted in
harmony herewith.
In Telephony" the Independent
Telephone magazine, issue Of Jan. IL,
appears the following:
"Coincident with the proposal OF
h Citizens Telephone Co, and the
Michigan State Telephone Co., to raise
rates In Michigan, m an attempt
on the part Of a number Of western
Michigan cities to force the two ON
panies to merge their interests, or ex-
change territories, so rs to eliminate
competition. Otherwise it is declared,
the proposal when it comes before
the Michigan railroad commission
some time in January.
Business men Of Grand RAPIDS es-
necially. figure they could saVe money
II the telephone companies EXCHANGED
territory or otherwise made arrange
ments to eliminate duplicate service,
even though the rates be i~ncreased,
3 the cost Of a single line under the
proposed rates would be less than the
total cost of the two lines necessary
under the acknowledgement condi-
ton existing in many cities and
towns.
The plan Of attempting to force
the telephone companies t merge in
the territory in western Michigan. wa
fostered by Attorney P. c. Gilbert.
who found much favor for his plan
at a recent meeting Of city attorneys
Of western Michigan, and other meet
ings held at Grand Rapids, Mich.
Delegations viii be sent to Lansing.
for the hearing on the proposal Of the
companies to increase rates, and II IL
believed. unless the companies should
Agrse upon some consolidation or
merger plan. in the various districts,
1t will be possible to prevail upon the
railroad commission to refuse to
grant the requested i~ncreases."

"a a second Cromwell, for between the
famous protector and the equally "a
NOUS president, there were many
striking points of resemblance, put
there are two that especially "a Tor
notice. perhaps because they are the
greatest.
Roosevelt Was a Man of Vision and
Action.
To say that an American President
should be eagle-eyed is to be guilty OF
an objectionable pen, but few VIII
| deny that when Theo. Roosevelt oc-
cupied the White House the american
eagle justified it's reputation for Keen
insight into political affairs. He not
only saw clearly but penetrated tne
political motives of other nations win
a prescience that not once o twice
proved the correctness of his QUICK
Judgment. But many men OF VISION
are drcamers whose visions crystaiilae
into deeds; not so he. Here was a mar
who saw and did; for him to see was
to do, and what some of his opponents
deemed rashness proved at times 70
be that sublime rashness OF n pa
triot who without hesitation attempts
and does the noblest thing he dreams
and saves his country's honor in a
crisis where delays are dangerous
| And what the world needs in this su-
preme crisis in its history rs men like
him who can see clearly and act reso-
lutely.
But he was not only a man OF &C
ton; he was a mar Of prayer. There
was in him the same supplemented
strong Puritan faith that made Crom-
well the force he was.
! Theo. Roosevelt was a Christian
with simple piety and strong faith in
the unseen, and while apart from his
religion he was a man, every n o.
him, the spiritual graces adorned his
personality as soft moses and hchens
and ferns adorn the rugged grandeur
of the hills. Faith and insight, praye:
and action-these make him grea'
and grand.
1t was these two features of hit
character that impressed the British
people, and the striking spontaneit9

as the boisterous. intulsive man, of quick decisions,
should read John Muirs descriptions Of mountain jour-

has lain prone for hours peering over the edge Of q rock
watching a band Of mountain sheep, that he might UNI
derstand more fully their habits.
1t is the possession Of characteristics such as these
which takp the man out Of the commonplace, and give
him a plade among the most interesting personalities OF
