BETTER THAN WAR.

•1». I

Among the war dispatches yesterday was. a brief cable saying that a company of soldiers had been organized among the teachers in one French town and that they had started towards the German frontier to Join In the defense of Dinant. Contrast this with events at home, the present teachers' institute •at the Indiana State Normal here giving the news pertinent interest. There the teachers are setting out to annihilate their fellow man. Here the teachers are assembled discussing ways and means to improve the educational system, to advance civilization and to mold the characters of the oncoming generations. There the educators have been drafted to shoulder guns and do what murder they can »ti their best way. Here they are preparing to go back to the grade schools in the city and the red school house in the township to quicken the wit of the scholar and1 to equip him to become a more valuable member of society. A strange contrast, and under about the same system and degree of so-called civilization, tqo.

WHERE WILL THI8 END?

•Now they tell us that the supply of hair dye is almost exhausted and that no more can be obtained from the European dyeworks.

This is likely to calL attention to a new and appalling effect of the great conflict If our creditors and other acquaintances are to turn gray In a single night, if the black upper lip adornment of the well preserved friend of our youth is to resolve itself into a ghastly whitp, it is high time for something tof be done to mitigate the unbearable situation.

Yet there may be persons so Impervious to the common Instincts of fruman sympathy that they will chuckle and wonder what's going to happen to the. man or the woman, round the corner, or in the next block, who has preserved through all the mutations and mutilation of time the raven tresses of youth. It's.a shame.

WAR INTELLIGENCE.

Scrutiny of the news dispatches appearing in the Tribune seems to indicate that the Associated Press has supplied an accurate and prompt report of. the progress of the war from the, very outset. Reports of the heroic defense of Liege ha^e been verified by later information. The first triumphs and then the reverses of the French army were closely recorded, and even the early reports from Nish of the victories of the Servians over the Austrlans, these too" have been verified and there -Is every Indication that the Associated Press has achieived a trdth--ful, reliable record of the war. The censorship bars the sending of dispatches which might contain information of value to the enemy, but when this danger is removed, either by the success or by the failure of any movement, the governments and military authorities seem to believe that the public is justly entitled to information.

That honesty is the best policy rfeems apparent. Lying announcements would in time react on their authors. The people of European capitals can scarcely be dealt with as Huerta dealt with the people of Mexico City.

Somi-Tofficial..news of this kind,-deal-

Mora Fight On Their

ing directly with the progress of the war, is to be distinguished from the rumors and wild talcs which spring from no ascertainable source and carry no conviction. Such stories as that of the suicide of Gen. von Emmlch, the execution of Herr Liebknecht, the wounding of the German crown prince, the fighting of naval battles everywhere from the coast of New Hampshire to Tierra del Fuego, are anonymous canards which gain wide circulation and which are therefore put on the wires for what they are worth. There will be many such stories before the war is over. They are easily known, and in no way lessen the value of the news which emanates from authoritative sources.

ADVERTISING.

Prof. E. A. Lornegan, in addressing the Boston Civic club, made the assertion that advertising has not only operated to enormously increase the business of those who apply it to their affairs, but has, he also said, operated to reduce the price of standard commodities, the sale of which is accomplished through advertising. There is much truth in what the professor says.

There is a tendency on the part ot some dealers and manufacturers to make a boast of their opposition to advertising. Their stock argument in all such cases is that they put their money into the goods and not into the magazines, newspapers or posters. They pose as the sole survivors of the altruist in business, and darkly hint at the villainy behind the great enterprise whose single motive is to hoodwink the public.

There are no altruists in business if they are they don't stay thefe long. When they have money enough they get out of trade and found philanthropic institutions, and if they haven't enough money they go broke.

Twenty-f|ve or fifty years ago a standard bar of soap sold for five cents. Today the soap-makers are among the largest advertisers, and a standard bar of soap is still five cents. It is better soap today than it was a quarter or a half century ago. Modern chemistry and economic production through the means of ingenious mechanical devices have been responsible for the improvement of quality and the increased output. Advertising has disposed of the surplus, and while the profits are less today, the maker sells infinitely more and so the problems of ^quality and price are solved.

THE PARTY LINE.

Hiram Edkins, of Pierson township, once remarked that his telephone "had a bigger circulation than the Tribune." What Hiram meant was that if he said anything over the telephone there was so many willing listeners that his utterance was immediately common property. According to a bulletin issued by one of the telephone companies, science has come to Hiram's relief. In a recent improvement in telephone service, a device is used which will accurately detect the meddlers, the eavesdroppers, the Listening Toms, who annoy the talker. Instead of sharply rebuking the unknown meddler in a general way, in such terms as "Get off the line there, can't you?" or "There's somebody listening," or "Skidoo, you butterinsky"—the exact forms of rebuke depending on your irritation and your bringing up—you pin the offense right down to the individual himself—or possibly herself, save the mark!

If, while you are talking, certain measured tinkles apprise you that a neighbor is tapping the wire—every neighbor has his own set of tinkles— you immediately remark in your hardest tones, "None of that, Jim Sneak. This is a private powwow." And Jim, the detected one, tumbles back from the 'phone and presumably, in the excess of his humiliation, kicks the family dog.

They say that the device meets all the inventor's expectations and promises to come into general use wherever party lines are strung. As a censor of curiosity and a discourager of stolen entertainment, it is living up to all the inventor's promises.

Dr. Combs says even before the war the European countryside which he Visited was filled with soldiers. Here we incline more towards farm hands.

It's a good thing that this war occurred this year, instead of last year. Otherwise, the superstitious would have been able to point out "1913" as the unlucky year.

The tin swords and the zinc cannon and the wooden soldiers are rusting and rotting in the shops of the Nuremberg toymakers. The toymakers are off to the war.

A humanitarian movement is afoot to steal a lot of the ."Safety First" signs from American public buildings and ship them over to Europe to be used as banners.

America is sending hundreds of Red Cross nurses to. the scene of conflict, in spite of the fact that England is full of militants out of a job.

Saw Europe Getting Ready for Big War

Dr. M. R. Combs returned Wednesday afternoon from &. trip to Europe, on which he left June 6, accompanied by Dr. F. H. Jett. They made a tour of the continent before attending the Clinical Congress of Surgeons which met at London from July 27 to Aug. 3. Dr. Jett, who was seriously ill during their visit to the continent, returned with him on the steamer Baltic, but went from New York to Scran ton, where he joined Mrs. Jett, who has been visiting relatives there during her husband's absenct.

In the continental trip Dr. Combs Visited all the countries now at war, including neiarly all of the cities that are being mentioned in the war dis patches. In Vienna he witnessed the funeral of the Crown Prince Ferdinand and his wife, whose murder led to the first outbreak of war, and saw Em peror Francis Joseph. He spent & day in Liege, and in Brussels was present at a review of the Belgian troops by King Albert. Dr. Combs expresses the opinion that war was first declared by Austria against Servia to prevent revolution in her own country by turn ing the minds of her people from local conditions. Dr. Combs was in England when that country declared war, and says the enthusiasm in London was great. The English feel, he says, that Emperor William must be defeated at all costs and his empire disintegrated to prevent its becoming a menace to all Europe. Dr. Combs was offered $1,000 for his return ticket from England, but refused the tempting offer.

THE NAVIES IN THE WAR.

The North sea naval situation is of such absorbing interest that we too easily lose sight of the Mediterranean, where the trouble arose. The Turks are said to favor Germany, and there fore Austria and would naturally desire also to seize this opportunity to regain some of their recent loss. Greece is said to intend aiding the Servians to which Austria replies that in that event she will blockade the coas.t. of Greece, which she has the ships to do Unhindered, the Greek HaV^ can so molest the transportation of Turks from? Asia Minor as to render their action in large measure nugatory. Prevented, the Bulgarians, with Turks at hand, may rise agains ttheir recent allies. The French navy can control the Med' iterranean, and stop the Austrian blockade with its indicated consequences and by so doing increase the solid force of Servians, Greeks, and Montenegrins, who in the Balkans not only ffcht their own battle and that of Russia but by the same action divert and greatly lessen the power of Germany's ally and France's enemy Whfether the Italian government can in such case control the traditional hatred of their people for the Austrian,' inherited from the years of oppression which ended only in 1859, and exasperated by the modern cry of "unredeemed" Italy—Trieste and the Trentino—will remain to be seen. I should doubt it and, considering the wantonness with which Austria has provoked this general war, and the apparent complicity of Germany, I see no moral obligation to deter.

In short, while-the most important naval transactions may be looked for in the North sea, the questions of the Mediterranean are by so far the more interesting.—Rear Admiral Alfred T. Mahan, In Leslie's.

TO PUT ON FLESH AND INCREASE WEIGHT

A Physician's Advice

Most thin people eat from four to six pounds of good solid fat-making, food every day and still do not increase in weight one ounce, while on the other hand many of the plump, chunky folks eat very lightly and keep gaining all the. time. It's all bosh te say that this is the nature of the in-' dividual.- It isn't Nature's way at all-

Thin folks,.--stay. thin because their powers of assimilation are defectiveThey 3,ust absorb enough of the food they eat to main-tain-.life and a. semblance of health and -strength. Stuffing won't help them. A-dozen meals a day won't make thena gain a single "stay: there" pound. All the fat-producing elements of their food just stay in the intestines until they pass from the body as waste. What such people need is something that will prepare these fatty food elements so that their blood can absorb them and deposit them all about the body—something, too, that will multiply their red blood corpuscles and increase their blood's carrypower.'

For such a condition I always recommend eating a Sargol tablet with every meal. Sargol is not as some believe, a patented drug, but is a scientific combination of six of -, the most effective and powerful flesh-building elements known to chemistry. It is absolutely harmless, yet wonderfully effective and a single tablet eaten with each meal often has the effect of increasing the weight of a thin man or woman from three to five pounds a week. Sargol is sold by good- druggist everywhere tn a positive guarantee ,of weight inease or money back.
