ABOUT GIFTS

E,uripidcs remarked one day, very
long ago: 1T is said that gifts per-
silade even the gods" Another Dit of
wisdom following experience with
gifts was: Give an inch, he'll take
an ell" There is a fund of experience
underlying these words of John 30, ie
O'Re;lly: Take gifts with a sigh:
most men give to I've paid
This much about gifts as. judging
from the report of the hearing on the
proposed Federal maternity act be-
fore the legislative committee, the
idea of receiving a gift from the Fed :
eral Government appears to have
been stressed by the proponents of
the measure. one of them told the
committee that if Maine didn't take
this money offered by the Federal
Government it would go to other
states. "As to taxation, the taxes will
go on just the same, if we do not ac-
ccpt the provisions of this act, for
they come out of the Federal income
tax"
We wonder how many articiratcd
this when they were working for an
income tax, and how many of those
who did quite lot of hard work and
sacrificing to set the Federal Govern
mcnt up in business expected it to
impose income taxes to bride the SOW
ereign states to join in the spending
of state and national taxes, doing it
in such a free and easy manner as
that described by Mr.. GuInac tell
ing the legislative committee: 81
didn't dream the Federal Government
would appropriate money as it has
done here and put as few strings on
it as it has"
Is that compliment to the Fed
cral Government or an implied COM
pliment to the supposedly sovereign
State that is to nave the spending of
it? Easy come, easy go, delightful!
No one asking where it all comes
from, more delightful. When the
matter was before the Massachusetts
Legislature it was shown that out of
every dollar taken out of the State
by the Federal Government for this

paralyze the kidneys in their efforts to

sluggish and weaken; then you may

Says. His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James III. Allen, of Rochester, n. Y,
suffered for years with rheumatism. Many
times this terrible disease left him help
less and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of cease
less study, that no one can be free from
rheumatism until the accumulated impure
ties. commonly called uric acid deposits
were dissolved in the joints and muscles
apd expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted Ply
sicians. made experiments and finally COM
pounded prescription that quickly and
completely banished every sign and symp-
tom of rheumatism from his system
He freely gave his discovery, which he
called Allenrllu. to others who took it,
with what might be called marvellous sue
cess After years of urging he decided to
let sufferers everywhere know about his
discovery through the newspapers. lie has
therefore instructed druggists everywhere
TO dispense Allenrhu with the understand
ing that if the first pint bottle does not
show the way to complete recovery he will

What Buyers Want to Know

(NcW OlN i lIleS)
On only one ground can there be
antagonism to the so-called truth
in fabric" bill now before Congress.
It's passage would make difficult or
more difficult, the selling of cloth in
which cotton or shoddy is added to
wool hitherto unused.
There has been some foolish and
irritating talk on the part OF certain
manufacturers and dealers to the eff
feet that quality is improved by these
adultcrants. If that were true the
buying public could be convinced of
it and gla 1ly would pay as much
more for the mixed goods as for those
"all wool"
The same kind of talk has pre-
vented. as yet. the passage Of laws
compelling each package OF canned
food to be stamped with the date
when it was put up. What buyers
want. and all they have any right
to got, is exact knowledge of what
they are buying. Whether they
make good or poor use OF that
knowledge is their own concern, and
they must pay for their mistakes.

PROPAGANDA TO BE FEARED

1t is said that the lowering looks
of the German populace turned to
admiration when they looked on the
French cavalry taking possession of
their towns. They could appreciate
the training and power so cXcmplfi-
own training, to that which years OF
militaristic education had formed in
the German mind. Patience for four
long years evidently had made no
lasting impression on them. The
impressions of the many years of
military training and worship of the
power of might were engraved too
deeply on the German mentality.
Yet there are those who would
have us believe the Germans should,
at once and without repentance or
the discipline of events, be taken in
to full confidence of the nations of
the earth. This is being said not
withstanding the exultation mani
tested in Germany over the fact
that their country had not been
scathed by war. that they saved it
by throwing up their hands when the
tide turned against them; notwith-
standing they have made no effort
to meet the terms fixed by those to
whom they surrendered, but have
shown at every turn a manifest pur-
pose to evade their honorable obliga-
tions.
Those who are making this talk
who are trying to get this country
to interfere on behalf of Germany are
those about whom General Edwards
admits he is concerned. Addressing
the National Republican Club in New
York. Monday night he declared: IT
am concerned about this mushy stuff
called pacifism that is being fed to
the American people" He recalled
what effect a militant minority in
Prussia had on the German people

temperament of our people, the mr.
