gated to come to the aid Of the
power that goes to war.
While officials Of both Great Bri-
tain and Japan have given to the
alliance the Interpretation that its
terms are not to be applied to the
United States, this government is not
satisfied. II the alliance is to be re-
newed outright, which is not pleas
ing to the United States. the Amer
Jean government would like this
country plainly and specifically eX-

CIVILIZATION AND SAYAGERY

The prevalence of divorces in civil
lied countries is becoming a peril to
the mortality Of the Caucasian race.
In a certain savage country a wo-
man goes and lives with. a man a year
or two "on trial" If both are salts
fled they then are married according
to the regular tribal custom. If they
are not satisfied with each other, they
go their separate ways and try again
with other mates.
In civilization" it is slightly differ
emit They go to a minister and have
a few words said over their bowed
heads. Then they too, try it out. If
not satisfied they go to judge, tell
a few narrowing stories, possibly few
lies, and are legally authorized to go
out and try again with other mates.
Very simple, isn't it?
Not so much difference between
civilization and savagery, is there?
We look down upon and pity the
poor savage in his ignorance and sup
erstition.
We contribute large sums that he
may become civilized and in line for
our on particular line of debauchery
In our superior bigotry we chronicle
the shortcomings of inferior races, un-
mindful of the fact that mortality in
some of those counties is far in adj
vance of our own.
Without doubt there are ceasion up
on which divorce is preferable from
moral standpoint to longer living
together.
But unqestionably a large per cent
ge.of divorces are granted upon
excuses and perjured testimony.
If the party at fault in such an ac-
ton wereforbidd to never marry again
we might have fewer divoces and geat
er number of reasonably contented
homes.
If people could be brought to real
ize that the remedy is sometimes
worse than the disease they might be
induced to see a brighter light, and
make the best of bad bargain.
Civilized morality is lettering in the
balance, with the scales fitting the
wrong way.

The United Stftes isn't the only

enterprising pioneers who leave thick

families into virgin territory to create
homes for themselves. The Philippine

Preventative Medicine.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. 1t is
easier and better to prevent then to
cure Pneumonia, one Of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, often follows a
cold or attack of the grip. The cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the germ. The
longer the cold hang on
the geater the danger. Take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy as soon as
the first indication Of a cold appears
so as to get rid of it with the least
possible delay. 1t is folly to risk an
attack of pneumonia when this remedy
may be obtained for a trifle.

If you don't feel like doing things,
you don't If you wonder where some
people get all their energy, the answer
is from good food which in turn makes
rich, red blood.
If your blood does not give the
nourishment and vigor it should, it is
most likely that your blood is SO weak
that it needs little extra help for
time to build it up to normal strength.
Thousands of men and women have
been restored to vigorous health and
lasting happiness by Guides Pepto-
Mangan. This beneficial blood tonic
contains the very properties SO vitaly
needed to improve the blood Pepto-
Mangan, if taken for few weeks, will
enrich the blood and create thousands
of the tiny ed blood cells that are SO
necessary to carry nourishment and
stength to every part of the body
Be sure to ask your druggist for
"Gude's" when you order Pepto-
Mangan. For ss venience it is pre-
pared in liquid and tablet form, both
possessing exactly the same medicinal
properties "Gude's is the genuine
Pepto- Mangan. Look for the name
tGude's" on the package.-Advt.

Attest OF FAITH
Chattanooga News.)

Chattanooga News,)
We have frequent occasion to pro-
test against the efforts of Japan to
impose her dominion upon unwilling
peoples, vet we have thus far failed
to exemplify the ideals which we rec
ommend to Japan. If we should with
draw our sovereignty from the Philip
pines, in accordance with our repeated
promises, we could the more consist
entity ask Japan to follow a similar
course toward Shantung, Manchuria
and Siberia. Our plea would have a
great deal more force if we could
make it with clean hands. To say that
the Philippines are not ready for in
dependence is merely to express an
arbitrary, gratuitous opinion. 1t is
perfectly easy to create conditions
in ones own mind-that no people
ever could comply with. Our delay
about respecting our own pledge is a
reflection on our national good faith
and a constant invitation to interna-
tional complications in the far east.

The Filipino has been much misrep-
resented in the United States. This is
largely because the Sunday supple
ments have made a speciality of por-
traying the semi-naked non-Christian
hill tribes as typical" F'ilipinos, which
is far from the truth.
The total population of the Philip
pines is 10,350,640, of which 9,495,272
are Christians and civilized, and have
been so for 300 years, possessing Gull
ture and refinement that will compare
favorably with that of other countries.
The number of non-Christians is $685.
