lar feeling renewed impetus. Then
came Senator Borah's timely resolu-
tion that Great Britain, Japan and
the United States sign an agreement
for 80 per cent reduction in naval
construction.
Recently the Senate and House
wrestled with the military giant.
The Senate by Al to 33, and the House
by 2S5 to A, voted to reduce the army
from 2'5,oo0 men, its present size. to
75,og0, the Senate revers ng a pre-
vious decision to make The number
100000 On both these occasions |
voted for the smaller army, 10000
men.
Thursday, January 90, an epochal
day. definite step toward interna-
ticnal disarmament was taken by the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
1t ordered favorable report on the
Bo ah reso ution, with this difference,
chat the percentage of naval reduc-
ton be left to negotiation.
The action of Secretary Baker in
wilfu'ly defying the authority of
Congress by embarking on a wartime
recruiting campaign in time of peace,
was scored by Senator Reed of MIS-
sou.i, in speech in the Senate and
almost as hotly by Chairman Mondell
in the House.
The issue of the reduction of the
army was fought out in the Senate
amid great barrage of military
propaganda by wire and mail from all
the big cities. the result being only
a partial victory for the anti-mili-
tarists.
There is a law of the survival of
the fittest among nations and races
just as there is among individuals.
Another great world war will, l be-
lieve, bring about the downfall of the
now dominant races as proof of their
unfitness to rule the world peaceably
and wisely. These races will then
have to step down from the seats of
the mighty and the yellow-skinned
peoples, with their alien customs and
their pagan ideals, will rule ever
them.
Should miitarism continue. there
will be dark years of conflict and
struggle before the torch of civiliza-
tion fickers out, but it will go out if
wars or preparation for wars go on.
The white man already is far outnum-
bered by the yellow-skinned peoples.
His policy must be constructive, COM
mercially fair, friendly He holds his
present high place only because up to
the time of the World War he has
shown the most brain power and in
telligence, the greater fitness to rule.
He sinned against the light of that
intelligence, and committed the
greatest folly any race of mep ever
committed on this earth, when he
permitted the greatest massacre the
world has ever known, a calamity If
calamities that destroyed 80 million
lives.
Where is the military menace in a
bankrupt old world struggling for
food and shelter; where in an Asiatic
prwer that knows that a war with
the United States would break its
back-that with the aid of all other
navies left afioat it could not land
troops on our shores?
The world will not now tamely see
this country embroiled in another
war. We have become civilizations
sheet anchor and civilization knows it.
Those who live by the sword must
die by the sword.
Why continue the folly?

RECIPE TO CLEAR
A PIMPLY SKIN
Pirnples Are Impurities Seeking
an Quite Through Skin
Pores.

Pimples, sores and bous usually re-
suit from toxins. poisons and impurities
which are generated in the bowels and
then absorbed into the blood through
the very ducts which should absorb only
nourishment TO sustain the body.
II is the function of the Kidneys 10
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form Of urine but
in many instances the bowels create
more toxins and impurities than the
kidneys car eliminate, then the blood
uses the skin pores as the next best
means of getting rid Of these impurities
which often break out all over the skin
IN the form OF pimples
The surest way to clear the skin Of
these eruptions, says g noted authority,
is to get from any pharmacy about four
ounces Of Jad Salts and take table
spoonful ia a glass Of hot water each
mon ming before breakfast for one week.
This will prevent the formation of tox-
ins in the bowels. 1t also stimulates
the kidneys to normal activity, thus
coaxiug them TO filter the blood of I'M
puritics and clearing the skin Of
pfmples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
s made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice. combined with lithia Here
you have a pleasant. effervescent drink
which usually makes pimples disappear; /;
cleanses the blood and is excellent for
the kidneys as well.
