Once in seven years, the physiolo

ago, if this be true, there was MOI
in your body a shred Of muscle OF

does nature provide the method by
which she keeps us as young as we
are.
Within the last seven years the
world has been made over.
Do you remember those days just
| before August l, 1914?
War was coming, and we felt the
impending calamity but were incap-
able Of preventing or even If ;:nder-
| standing it.
The thing was so inevitable, yet
so incredible.
The world did not want war, but
was moving every hour toward the

We were on the brink Of some

Amazed the World.
1t came seven years ago with a
violence that amazed Is.
We did not believe the world cap
able of such terrible hate, such stu
pendous folly.
We had believed that the money of
the world would have been refused
and that the labor of the world
would have revolted, and that the
underlying spirit of good will among
the nations would have held mankind
back from so terrible a catastrophe.
And now, how much nave we have
learned as the result of all we have
wrought and fought?
To make the war worth what it
cost, we must secure to humanity
some permanent good commensurate
with the magnitude of the war itself.
That was not done on the battle
field and was not done at Versailles.
AS we now see the situation, those
results could not have been won
either by the sword CT by the fierce
compromises of penEl peace.
| am not of those who believe that
the results of the war will all 90 to|
waste. Some of them will, but not
all.
Needs Making Over
| believe it still is possible for the
world to salvage great and perma-
nent good out Of the results of the
war, and that America can have her
honorable and righteous part in the
process.
The world has been made over in
the last seven years. 1t needs a
new making-over in the next seven.
We still are too near the end of
the war to view it in perspective.
But we are not too near to remember
the bIunders that followed the Civil
War and the blunders that follow
ed the conquest of Napoleon, and
to learn something from them.
