The President's Message Continuing with a development of the great theme of international democracy, which has engrossed his attention for many months, President Wilson yesterday in his message to Congress declares that terms of peace must be concluded by the people themselves, by "the opinion of mankind," and not by picked representatives of the nations who will pay no attention to the rights of their constituents or of the small nations. The President points out definitely that if this war ends in a peace of the old order, in which people are traded as if they were chattels, in which boundaries are arbitrarily established without consulting the wishes of the inhabitants, no enduring peace will have been declared. Such action will invite another conflict. The peace which the President believes must be declared will be one in which "national aspirations must be respected and peoples dominated and governed by their own consent." Peace terms "cannot be discussed separately or in corners."

"Each part of the final settlement must be based upon the essential justice of that particular cause and upon such adjustments as are most likely to bring a peace that will be permanent." President Wilson is worrying diplomats of the old school. His outspoken declarations of America's intentions and aspirations made yesterday and in former addresses must come as a big surprise to men trained to hide their real purposes and aims behind vague phrases. If the Bolsheviki in Russia believed they were candid, President Wilson goes them one better. Neither Ger

many nor Austria need do much thinking to interpret the President's message. Diplomat and common citizens can understand its purport.

triotism to observe not only meatless and wheatless days but also to cut down our rations to the least possible amount necessary for the maintenance of physical strength. . Every ounce of food in the world today is priceless. Every ounce wasted imperils the lives of our own citizens and of the Allies. Fats and particles of food that formerly went into the garbage can are of tremendous value. It isn't the little piece of butter you save that in itself is essential, but the little piece you save multiplied by the millions of little pieces that others retrieve is of vital importance. The important lesson of making every little bit count in food saving, is what we must learn. Just think how silly it is for a housewife to prate about food conservation, and then put butter over French fried potatoes, or spread it over pie, or use it on mashed potatoes when a dish of gravey is on the table. But that's what many men and women are doing. The incident illustrates how little they care for the great question which our government is dining into their ears. Why do they continue the practice?

Sometime the world breeds discontent

( And keeps on getting scrappier, Because of efforts which were meant To make it vastly happier.

Lincoln By Ellis Parker Butler of The Vigilantes Washington created a nation; Lincoln preserved it. With his embattled farmers Washington fought for the principle of self-government and created a nation based on the right of men to govern themselves, and the result was the first great democracy of modern times. With force of arms and ideas Lincoln fought to preserve that democracy from disintegration lest it might become in time a horde of petty, ineffectual states, powerless against any autocratic conqueror. That which Washington made possible and Lincoln made permanent was a democracy so virile that today it is the greatest nation on the surface of the globe, and the happiest, and the most contented. That which Washington created and Lincoln preserved has proved for all time that man's happiness and safety and opportunity for development are greater under a democratic form of government. The idea embodied in the nation created by Washington and preserved by Lincoln is now existent in sister democracies throughout the world. Working out their peaceful destinies while assuring their inhabitants in their rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, these sister democracies have won a right to existence and to a continuance of the self-government they have voluntarily chosen. Today these sister democracies are attacked and their existence as free democracies imperiled

by an autocratic power that sees its autocratic existence threatened by the growing spirit of

self-government among its own people. Govern

ing by Might this ruthless power seeks, by a war

of conquest waged against democracies, to prove that Government by Might alone can prevail and that democracy is a failure and an impotent protection. Where would Lincoln stand were he alive today ? No man can doubt where he would stand ! With his eyes turned toward Europe, where democracy is fighting a life and death battle against autocracy, and with a knowledge that with the fall of Europe's democracies all democracies must sooner or later fall under the heel of the autocrat, he would pray for a new birth of freedom for our nation for freedom to stretch our arms beyond our own, coasts to help our distressed and bravely fighting sisters. Abraham Lincoln, were he alive today, would not counsel us to turn back from what we have so gloriously begun in the cause of world freedom. Turn back? Looking across the sea he would say, as he said once before : "It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

man children: In the Soziale Praxis (Nov. 1) Dr. Thiele, municipal school physician in Chemnitz, publishes some results of investigations as to the health of school chirldien during the war. A general increase in cases of illness has not taken place; the well-known infectious ailments do not appear more frequently than before. Certain skin diseases

have increased. The influence of war food is clearly to j be recognized. In grown-up people a curious new variety j of disease has appeared, the so-called aedema disease, j characterized by dopsical swellings of the skin in differ-1

ent parts of the body without apparent lesions in the heart or kidneys. These swellings are directly attributable to the present watery diet. There are, moreover, complaints as to the increase of heart and kidney diseases, of strangulated hernia and prolapsus; these two last are connected with the general decrease of fatty tissue. The chief complaints made, however, refer to the increased number of pulmonary tuberculosis cases and the high mortality from this disease. The general power of bodily resistance in old people has greatly diminished; in the case of children, tuberculosis, the most serious children's disease, has increased. Children under suspicion of tuberculosis are counted as tuberculous for statistical purposes. In the opinion of experienced school physicians the majority of the extremely pale, anoemic children become the subjects of tuberculosis in later life. The increase in the number of tuberculous children co incides with the beginning of the difficulties as to food. The extent to which children's bodies are weakened in resisting power by inadequate nourishment is well known. Do we want similar conditions here? If not. let the housewives practice economy of the most pronounced kind.

Save Butter for the Children The government is asking us to save food wherever we possibly can. It appeals to our pa-

Conquest and Kultur "Here, then, lies the key to Germany's future, for nothing but a Belgium, under Germany's political and military influence, could provide the possibility of effectively threatening the British Island Empire itself, by enabling our fleet to create for England that risk which was to be the final purpose of its construction. Thus the military and political domination of Germany over Belgium is seen to be a compelling necessity, arising from the geographical situation, the military relations of strength, and the political grouping of the Powers, just as clearly as from

Great Britain's destructive will against Germany. "From an economic point of view, Belgium, even before the war, was an almost indispensable link in the world-encircling chain of German sea trade. Antwerp had become for the Rhenish, Thuringian, and South German industry an export harbor, the place of which could be taken by our North Sea ports only at the cost of considerable sacrifice in time and freights." A secret memorandum of the council of the German Navy

League, adopted June 17, 1916, at its annual meeting and transmitted to the Chancellor.

L'ric acid In meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.

region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonfull in a glass of water before breakfast for a, few days and your kidneys will then act fine.

DOWN AND OUT INSURANCE AGENT COMES BACK He Is Now A Live Wire. For a long time one of our best local Insurance men had been eteadIly going down hill, losing his ambition, disheartened, with no interest in existence, worried, nervous, no appetite, and generally played out. His family and friends were much worried. Doctors whom he consulted advised rest and drugs, both of which he tried but with no beneficial effects. Things were pretty discouraging until the Division Superintendent struck town and looked him up. The condition was plain enough. '"Old Pal" he said, "I've got your number sure, what you need and need badly and lots of it is good old Iron and Phosphate, jour body is Just craving for it. I can spot the trouble a block off. that pale, anaemic ekjn, tired sunken dull eyes, worried, nervous look, fagged, and over-worked brain, all show the exhausted blood.

The agent's wife made a bee line to the nearest Drug Store and got a box and after one week's treatment you would not recognize the man. He had full red cheeks, his body and mind were active and he was full of the joy of life, in fact his complete rejuvenation was marvelous. Back on the job everything seemed to come his way. Business cam easy and was a pleasure, he was so full of life and good spirits. The days were 6hort, where before they had dragged like weeks. His restoration was complete.

Whims Are Too Expensive From Kansas City Star.

T has been possible in the past to indulge our tastes

about food. If we had a whim that we didn't like a certain food we didn't eat it. and that was all there

was to it. Our peculiarity might embarrass, our hostess if we were' invited out, but it made no particular difference. But with the world drifting into a long period of food stringency, it is. going to make a difference. The great basic foods of the world have got to be the foundation for our diet. We can't afford to indulge in whims. Most arbitrary likes and dislikes of food date back to childish prejudices. They can be got rid of if people really care to get rid of them. There is no reason in the world why every normal person shouldn't eat all kinds of food. The old maxim. "There is no disputing about tastes," is false and has done a world of harm. For tastes can be regulated and made rational.

It is compact, simple, dose-coupled, a wonderful puller snd carries no dead weight. And best of all, it is operated from the seat of the implement attached. This permits one man to operate both tractor and implement.

Cut the Cost of Horse Labor The cost of horse labor is almost one. balf the gross operating expense on the average farm. A farm horse averages only 3 hours work a day through the entire year, and tires in six. It costs from 12 to 14 cents per working hour to maintain borse, and requires 23 minutes a day to care for him, ot f oarteen ten-hoar days a year.
