FRIENDS ARGUE PEACE QUESTION IN BIBLE CLASS

, Tha quttlon of paaca wu tb subJect of an animated discussion Sunday morning In taa auditorium of the Weit Richmond Friend church approximately elgnty persons representing Sunday school classes met jointly with the members of S. Edgar Nicholson's men's Bible class. Varlon views of the topic were expressed Among tboe in attendance was Vincent Nicholson, son of the editor of the American Friend who Is a student In Harvard college law department and who has given a number of speeches on the subject of "Peace," and Prof. Caswell Grave of John Hopklne university. At one time the discussion became almost, a debate between the two men. War of aggression for conquest or based on other selfish motives was unanimously held to be unnecessary and essentially different from a war defense. It was the prevailing sentiment that war for defense was unjustifiable with the use of armed force. When Mr. Nicholson raised the question of what would have been the outcome bad Belgium, France, England and Russia had no standing armies in the summer of 1914. it was universally agreed that there would have been no war. Austria, it was decided would have made no demands on Serbia if she bad bad no standing army or at least would have made her demands without threatening the use of armed force. In the discussion of the question of preparedness it was held that China's i protection against Japan when the latter recently made her demands upon that country, was her unprepared -rtess. Japan feared the public opinion of the world and so did not attack a defenseless country it was decided.

1,500 PERSONS GATHER ABOUT LEWS TREE

MILTON. Ind., Dec. 27. The community Christmas at Milton, was one of the great events of 1915. Long before 5 o'clock crowds were on the grounds. Tbe tree was between twenty-five and thirty feet high. The donor of the tree Is unknown. When discovered. Cbas. Ferguson, who was to get the tree, was just arranging to go to his farm to get one. The committee began their work of decorating tbe tree and on Christmas evening it was glimmering in beautiful tinsel. At the apex of the tree was a large star. The tree bad been roped in the square and from the corners of the street lines bad been formed several feet above the ground. At the ringing of the church bell tbe carol singers led by the band came from the south until they reached the center of the attraction where they paused at tbe enclosure and gave the first carol, "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing," the leader being Edgar P. Jones, followed by the second number, "The Christmas Eve Song." The Rev. M- S. Taylor then entered the enclosure and gave the address of welcome. Tben from the north came the sound of children's voices giving their Christmas chant as they approached the tree, and marched inside the enclosure. The Rev. F. C. McCormlck then gave the prayer, after which from the east came the music of the band, while Santa Claus, escorted by Uncle Sam, drove in the ring in a fine sleigh drawn by a spirited white horse. Uncle Sam was Impersonated by Oliver Wallace and Santa Claus by Prof. Thompson. Then after a few words of greeting Santa Claus proceeded to his work of giving out the presents from tbe tree. Everyone was invited to the vacant room in the Farmers bank block where the ladies of the community served hot coffee and sandwiches. The crowd was estimated at between 1,200 and 1,500 people. Dr. Squier stated that he counted 412 people in one of the four sections and the others were in proportion. The Rev. F. C. McCormick said there were at least 1,500 people on the grounds.

Drink Water To Avoid Sickness Says Authority

Glass of Hot Water Before Breakfast Daily Keeps the Doctor Away. Sanitary science has of late made

rapid strides with results that are of untold blessing to humanity. The latest application of its untiring research :s tb recommendation that it is as necessary to attend. to internal sanitation of the drainage sysem of the human body as it is to the drains of tbe house. Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the System each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from tbe stomach, liver and bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins: thus cleansing, Sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an, empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the pbosphated hot water is quietly extracting a large volume of water from tbe blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all tbe inside organs. The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness : others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from tbe drug store. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make any one a pronounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation.

that impartial observers would not be surprised by sensational developmanU In the near, future. For several months Minister of Munitions Lloyd-George appeared tbe logical candidate for tbe premiership In case Aaqulth ware forced out. Then Sir Edward Carson forged to the front as a logical recipient of the coveted post, but today there is a third candidate in tbe person of Lord Curson of Keddlestone, holding the post of lord of the privy seal in tbe present cabinet

A large portion of this business would have gone to otber points, if the backs bad not been in business.

Thousands of dollars that would have been spent in Cincinnati.

They would do tbeir shopping and have their packages sent there and Mr. Harlan took care of them until tbey were ready, to go borne.
