der troubles.

BEST GRADED PRODUCTS WIN
Standardization Establishes Common
Language BetweeN Buyer and
Seller.

It has been demonstrated many times
that IN the markets of the world the
seller with the best-graded products is
the favorite, because graded goods are
standard and the buyer knows what
he will get when he buys. Standard
ization establishes common language
between the buyer in one country and
the seller in another, which creates
understanding and confidence and pre-
vents disputes

Millions for a
NeU Stomach

One Of the greatest American million
aires said to his physician, GA million
dollars, Doctor, spot cash and no grum-
bling, for a new stomach" and then
the sick man groaned and turned away.
All his wealth could not make him
happy or contented, for happiness large
y depends upon digestion. Without
health where does happiness come int
After all the stomach plays a great
part in everyday life. Without
healthy stomach and good digestion our
blood is thin, watery and poor, our
heart action is weak, our liver does not
do its duty, and man is miserable and
unhappy. Prevent disease by putting
the house in order and strengthening
the system against the germs of disease.
DIR. Pierce, of the Invalids Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y,
years ago understood diseases and their
prevention, and he discovered certain
roots and herbs which were natures
remedies, and succeeded in putting them
up in form that could be easily pro-
cured at the drug store (iquid or

If fault there is in this matter it
cannot rest upon Mr.. Lansing alone.
All the Cabinet officers, it seems,
agreed with him in taking this
course, agreed that it was wise and
necessary, and they can hardly fail
to share in the responsibility and
in the Presidents condemnation.
The letter to Lansing is indeed an
attack upon his whole Cabinet, and
the country, we believe, will in THIS
matter approve The Cabinet and
condemn the critic.-St. LOUIS
Globe-Democrat (Rep).
According to the president moth
ing could be done unless he was
present, and consequently there
"could be no disadvantage in await
ing action" since no action in his
absence would be valid
This would literally mean that If
the president could not be present,
matters could and should be allow
ed TO go TO smash, because even
the cabinet could not interfere, no
action being allowable without the
presidential knowledge and coop
Grafton.
If that Is true OF the administra-
tive form, then it is apparent that
there is need OF some immediate
change and Improvement. The gov.
s.nmcnt CT the United States should
not be placed in so dangerous a po'
sition-eeasing to function upon
lie occasion Of the inabilitE-lone
or short-of the caief executive.

Hasty judgment on incomplete

But if the President has stated fully
his side of this unfortunate situa-
ton, we can. but feel that he has
misunderstood Mr. Lansins's con
duct and motives. certainly in SO far
as the latter's calling Of Cabinet
meetings was concerned. Even had
there been no precedents for the
Secretary's course in that matter
(and it appears that in at cast two

are quite Of the opinion of the Lon
don Times that "in the highest inter
ests Of Europe, the United States

by America is desirable as an in
fusion Of the great force OF Ameri-
can idealism into the affairs Of the
world" It Is to be hoped that in
replying To the Presidents note the
Governments of Great Britain,
France and Italy will be guided by
that sentiment The withdrawal
Of the United States from all active
participation in carrying out the
Adriatic settlement need not be an
obstacle to its execution. Certainly
