On the ISSUE Of

all nations should not agree on complete
disarmament, involving the destruction OF
all rifles, guns. machine guns, and all other
weapons used in warfare and the slaughter
Of human beings. All the nations that Lay
claim 10 civilization should further agree To
pass law absolutely forbdding within their
territory the manufacture of all weapons
used in warfare. The possession OF rifle
or gun for hunting purposes should be al
lowed only by special permit and upon the
payment of special license fee, and only
TO persons having such a permit should
the sale Of limited number of cartridges'
be permitted.
The number of those who profit by the
making .of rifles, guns, ammunition, and
other war ornaments is small. The factories
used for that murderous trade can easily be
can be better employed in peaceful trade,
especially since the tonnage of the mercan-
tile marine has been so greatly reduced that
1t will take years TO round it out. AS there
will be no more profit from war materials,
there will be none left who have an interest
in war and have promoted it for the sake OF
the money they could make out of it.
Profiteering thru war and war contracts has
become a great financial game and where
Money is God all other considerations are
lost sight Of.
Then, why not use the opportunity now.
when peace must come soon, to declare for
a general and complete disarmament and
agree on the passing Of law to be enacted
in every country demanding the destruction
OF all the armament for war and forbidding
its manufacture henceforth?

the human race could happen equal TO re-

Nothing, not yellow fever, smallpox.

can compete with War as the supreme curse
of mankind
After the last War Europe was made to
see this more clearly than ever before. Our
own country. not having been poisoned by

miltarism for thousands OF years, as Europe
was, does not seem TO realize ii.
OF course. the first step toward removing
the curse Is some sort OF realization OF
humanity as q whole; il is the awakening TO
this that instigated the League of Nations.
The next step. and the all-important one,
is dictated by common sense.
II is to cease making implements of War.
We have laws In most civilized states for
bidding the carrying Of deadly weapons. To
that we owe the comparative safety Of life
in Chicago, London. and Paris.
Let nations quit making cannon, battle

equally good result will be brought about

Some time ago this pointed to the fact that
seven governors had refused TO call their legislatures IN

would withhold the vote from many American women IN

listed New Mexico.

Spring seems to ag-
gravate this pain
full disease

Victims of Rheumatism,
that most painful and tortur-
ing of all diseases, feel that
with the approach of balmy
springtime they may expect
some relief from the pangs
Of suffering which they have
endured all winter.
And this is an excellent
time to get rational results
from the right sort of treat
ment for this painful ailment.
Just now the system is ready
to throw off the impurities
that have been accommodating
throughout the winter sea-
son, and nature is ready to
help in the eliminating
process that is so essential
in preparing the system for
the changing seasons.
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1920-03-03

Those who have not yet
realized the truth Of this
statement, and expect to get
rid Of the disease by the use
Of liniments and lotions and
other locally applied treat
ment, will continue to suffer
from Rheumatism, and will
find their condition growing
steadily worse all the time.
Rheumatism is more than
a mere local disorder confined
to the locality of the painful
parts. 1t cannot be rubbed
away, because 1t is a deep
seated disease that has it's
source in the blood supply.
The tiny pain demons, the
millions Of little disease
germs that cause the disease
must be reached and eliminat-
cd from the blood before real
relief can be had.
