The Buffalo Times undertakes 10 eounteract
the steady growth OF sentiment iayoring the
6tea, Lakes-St Lawrence waterway project by
an imprisoned editorial appeal in which Is a
curious mixture OF prejudice and poorly based
logic.
II Canada wants TO gamble, says the Times,
let Canada put up the money. The inference is
that the proposed waterway is OF chief and per-
haps sole benefit TO Canada. The fact is quite
otherwise Judged by present traffic, by the
number and size OF cities upon the Great Lakes.
by the value OF the products grown or made
within 500 miles OF the lakes, by the population
within this area-by any OF these tests, the
waterway is proven OF greater importance to the
United States than to Canada. Canadas share
of the cost may be put as high as half only on
the theory that Canada has large undevclopcd
area and may in time achieve greater production
and greater traffic than now.
The Times argues further that the St. Law
renee channel is unnecessary. God made the
Hudson river, it declares, and man finished the
job by building the New York barge canal join
ing the Great Lakes and the river. Why not
use this existent waterway instead OF building
another? This argument ovcrlooks fact Of
paramount Importance: The use of the barge
canal requires breaking OF cargo at Buffalo and
again at New York; the St. Lawrence waterway
will permit direct shipment from any Great
Lakes port and will avoid the congested port of
New York.
Buffalo, with New York, insists upon ignor-
ing the utter inadequacy of terminal facilities at
New York. II refuses to count the cost which
that condition imposes upon the commerce OF the
nation by forcing exorbitant transfer charges
and causing expensive delays. commission OF
New Workers, appointed by Governor Whitman
in 1918 reported that your commission would
fail to express its deepest convictions if it did
not declare at the outset the most imperative
need of the city of New York is comprehensive
and modern freight terminal system The Sat
urday Evening Post of November p, 1912 said:
The whole nation suffers and pays for the
lack OF proper terminal facilities IN New YORK
The astonishing thing is that the people OF
other cities and states have patiently paid the
unjust tax on incoming and outgoing COM
modties placed for the benefit of select few.
On the antiquated piers in New York,
where manual labor is required, it costs more
port to handle food and merchandise than
it costs to transport the same food and mer-
chandise from Chicago to New York.
That situation constitutes the chief reason for
the St. Lawrence waterways movement New
York can not handle the traffic properly. Even
were improvements made the limitations of
geography are still there. The folly OF trying to
funnel the whole of the ,sea-going traffic of So
100000 people through single port is apparent.
There is room in North America for more than
one seaport and the people of the middle west
are insisting that this single port strangle-

Betraying a Sweet Confidence.

Discovery OF large assortment Of counterfeit
whisky labels in secluded house on the out
skirts OF Omaha was a severe blow to public
confidence in the integrity of the bootegsing
profession. The mean suspicion is arising that
these false labels were to be pasted on bottles
OF crude corn whisky colored with burnt sugar.
Trusting connoisseurs, relying OH the label,
would rejoice in the mistaken idea that they
had secured supply Of the best Scotch when all
they possessed was something most resembling
liquid FIRE.
Masterpieces OF art are sometimes forged in
this way, with the signature of Velazquez or
Corot affixed to mere copy or imitation. This,
however, does not have any fatal result. The
sale Of aduterated liquor, the other hand, while
having its humorous side, also is full Of peril.
There are men and women in Omaha today who
have not yet recovered from their New Year
potations. In many cities persons have been
blinded, poisoned or killed by this food Of imita-
ton or impure liquor.
Drinking bootleg alcohol is really quite a fad.
1t is so not only because of the temporary ex-
hiaration but the triumphant feeling also OF
having eluded the law The element of risk from
poisoning may also add to the attractiveness for
time, but not many will continue for any great
period to enjoy flirting with the emergency hos
pital or the undertaken.

Plain Talk to European Politicians.

Statements from Herbert Hoover, outlining
the conditions under which the United States can
take part in the Genoa conference. and from
Senator Mccormick, addressed to the French
people, contain truths that ought to be assimi-
lated in all parts OF Europe. In the Hoover
statement three points arc laid down which mus,
be met satisfactorily If the United States has any
part at Genoa. These arc:
I. Defation and balancing OF budgets.
2. Adjustment OF German Preparations
within the power OF Germany TO pay.
3. Reduction of armies, the expense of
which is largely responsible for European in
iation.
The first OF these is the most important 1t
is no fault of the United States that gold has
steadily flowed in this direction for eight years.
In June, 1914, the only government securities in
the world that stood at par were those OF the
United States. This was prcmoniton OF the
breakup that eliminated in the war. Since the
war neither France nor Germany has made any
moves in the direction OF defation; on the con-
trary, they have enormously expanded their debt
and their currency. If exchange is disturbed, the
blame must rest on these leaders, not on Amer
ca where the balance has been maintained and
credit preserved.
REIMBURSEMENT OF the rcparatlonS to be laid
on Germany requires the re-examination Of the
economic situation in Germany. This is touched
OIL in Senator McCormicks letter to the Paris
newspaper, he pointing out that it is unreason-
able in the French TO suspect Americans of being
unfriendy because they do not adopt in toto the
policies of France. Just now France has ma
terally altered its national policy by adopting
the Poncaire program as a substitute for that
OF BRAND Americans are not so volatile. A
warm friendship for France still marks our atti-
tude as nation, although the people over here
do not intimately understand the varying shades
Of opinion prevailing over there.
Reduction OF the land forces in Europe is
imperative Peace will not come, nor order be
re-estabshed, while huge armed forces continue
to absorb resources of needy nations. Europe

the notion that the United States is in any sense
bound to contribute to the end that the stricken
nations may live beyond their MEANS is the spec
tacle that will do most to restore confidence and

LIVER STIMULATION.

The weight OF the two kidneys i

half.
A pint OF urine contains about the
same amount OF solids AZ a mint al

In this statement the 21-l0.and-
10, respectively. represents the sol.
, IDS; therefore the statement that a
pint or one contains about as much
solids AZ a pint OF the other.
why IN u that the secretion of the
% ounces OF liver Is only one-half
Az much as that Of the nine ounces
OF kidneysg
IL seems reasonable that the
liver has other work 10 do besides
secrete bile. The bile itself, viewed
either ns an aid 10 digestion and
absorption, or as an escretion, ia
OF comparatively minor importance.
Medicines, given on the theory
that they Increase the flow of bile,
and In that way overcome bilious
ness. are not worth while, even IL
II had been proven that they stimu-
late the flow OF bile.
The bile consists OF water, holding
In solution and suspension little
more than . per cent solids. all of
which has been added TO the water
by the liver. except Il certain amount
OF stuff secreted by the bile tracts.
The solids are bile pigments, bile
acids. some fat-like bodies, and such
salts as are contained In all fluids
derived from the blood.
The bile pigments are due TO
breaking down OF the blood. They
represent the worn out. used up
blood and. as such. are one OF the
body wastes.
These pigments further changed
makeup-not only the coloring mat
ter OF the bile itself. but IL is out OF
them that the coloring matter OF
the urine and the stools is made.
Animals which live on meats have
yellow bile, those which live on
vegetables have green bile. and
those living on a mixture OF meats
and vegetables have bile with color
in between.
The bile salts and the bile acids
are of moro Importance from the
standpoint Of digestion and assimila-
ton.
The liver is not an organ of d.
gestion in any proper sense, The
bile stimulates the pancreas to Sc
crete. 1t may stimulate the small
intestines likewise, but even this has
not been proven. Nor is ii the most
important stimulator of the pam
creas.
1t aids materially in the absorp-
ton of fats. 1t may be of some
minor Importance in keeping down
putrefactions in the large intestine,
but even that has not been proven.
Summing up, the bile secreting
function of the liver has to do in an
important way with the absorption
of fat. 1t indirectly helps with the
pancreatic secretion, and it gets rid
of some of the body wastes, the
most important of which is broken
down pigment, and that lets the
liver out-this great, massive organ,
constituting one-fiftieth of the en-
tire body-that is. let's it out SO far
as the bile is concerned.
Now, what win stimulate the
liver?

Bile pills will do it; SO will pep

ton. Likewise secretion.
