The duty of civilized men today is to
consider these great potcntialities and to
confer with enc another to devise some
scheme which will permit readjustments
as they become necessary, without resort
to such an ntolerable thing as war. The
task is not easy, but its difficulties should
not deter us from undertaking it. The
surest way to bring about the disasters
which the obstructing senators profess to
fear is to turn their backs on the truth
and saunter blindly into the abyss.

Congress will dictate in this matter when
the crisis comes. All that the Senate is
doing nowadays is to hide its head in the
sand lest it see what is impending.
Every lesson of history teaches that
the present commercial equilibrium, with
the United States holding the balance, is
not permanent. How our own expansion
in hundred years has disturbed the old
conditions should lead all men who think
in decades instead of in seconds to con-
slider the other undeveloped regions of the
earth and their possibilities.
No man can tell what the state of
China will be in fifty years. 1t is a coun-
try of vast population and undeveloped
resources, and its people have only just
begun to awaken from the millenniums of
sleep and look about them. What 400,-
100000 Chinese using modern industrial
methods can do no man can foretell Rus
sa is still in its industrial infancy, and
the Germans who were plotting to act as
its tutors in the school of trade have not
given up their purpose. 1t is conceivable
that Russia and China may in century
shift the commercial capital to Pekin.
But both Africa and South America must
be considered - continents neither of
which has been more than scratched on
the surface-as possible counterbalances
against a swing to China.
The development of all these regions is
as certain as fate. That they will affect
this country for good or i'll must be evil
dent to every one who does not close his
eyes to the obvious.

! CASTOR OIL
IS EASY TO TAKE
Strength and Purity Remain the
Same, But Unpleasant Taste
Is Removed

A remarkable process perfected
by the chemists Of Spencer Kellogg
& Sons. Inc, has resulted in
great improvement in castor oil,
the reliable old family remedy.
This new tasteless castor. oil has
the same strength and purity as
the Old-fashioned kind. It's 100
per cent pure castor oil. Nothing
has been removed but the nausea
ting taste. Think what this means
to mothers and their children.
When the doctor says, Give them
castor OIL" there need no longer be
any trouble. Children need never
know they are taking castor oil.
Grown-ups will also appreciate the
difference between Kellogg's Taste
less Castor Oil and the old-fash-
toned nauseating kind. Sold by all
good druggists. II you want q cas-
tor oil absolutely without nausea
ting taste, insist on genuine labor
