Pure, Wholesome Food Nujol Health
PURE, wholesome food is neceoary, but it is not
enough. The purest, roost wholesome food
will hinder rather than help heaJth if allowed to
I the colon the laree intestine. And doctors
-(rree that about 90 of our ailments are caused or
mtensihed by constipation.
SoW part of even the purest and most wholesome
tood is waste. If this waste is not kept moving out
of the bodr, it stagnates and breed poisons which
saturate the system and cause or nourish disease.
The old, wrong way to attack such stagnation was to
force a passage through the impacted mass.
The new, right way to overcome it is to let Nujol
induce easy self-elimination.
AdI tir-ec health is ai much a matter of how we eliminate
wwte aj how we assimilate food-fuel, it mut become evident
to every thinking person that the Use of a natural, drujjless
lubricant is ai sensible and necessary aj the eating of pure,
wholesome food.
The three Tital processes upon which heaJih ii based are
Mastication, Assimilation, Elimination.
Therefore, the perfect recipe for health is thorough Mistica-
lion, Pure, wholesome Food, and Nujol.

f interruptions for both applause ofj

" tithe state board of equalization, late!
? ' chaplain of the 145th Field arUllery,
fr.ind one of the seven presidents of i
. '1 seventies of (ho Latter-day Sants'l

fclY received.
It was more than a city affair.
There were delegations troni 'Jgden

J evea more distant Long before the
tiled hour of 8 o'clock the hall began ;
I 'o lill, and automobiles were packed

Major Clark approached his attack
( ca the covenant by replying to what
at called the six principal points ad
i I rinft..! V.. . , ,
i i uk.-j u) lDV proponents ot tne pro
i Poced international pact These points ,
: ere, first its advocacy by a Re-j
publican leader as a political expe
4jocy (evidently meaning former,
Prudent Taft); second, the faction!
Presented by Senator McNary of
, Oregon, whom Major Clark quoted as
r !4'QK; "I am willing to try anything
u Mice"; third, Ihote who urged that,
j: u nothing can be worse than the old
t i 'stem, there may be ood in the new
i Ud therefore we should try it; fourth
contention that we must ratify
e treaty to terminate hostilities,
I ' 'th, the cry 0f the world for the
'wc; sixth, the pie that the treaty
. aj the covenant will abolish war.
'j To the first of these he replied that
",W.ould "rather a thousand times, if
. m (the covenant) is to be a political
' rre;.6ee the Republican party de
vtLu ? lreat5' and lose the n?xt pres j
;fcnuai ek-u.on. than to see it con-
to the ratification of the treaty
I I i. U" Tae second he dismissed
I.S?U8; lhe ,nlrd hf- answered
2 . Lby the "atement: "To brand
I Qh? t0day a fai!ure ls t0 braDd
Uanlty a failure" The fourth
point he went into at considerable
length, asserting that it is not nec
essary under the terras of the peace
treaty for the United States to sign
in order lo bring hostilities to an end.
In this conclusion he said
"It will take but two other nations
to ratify the treaty without the Unit
ed Stater, to bring the end of hostili
ties, and there are other nations much
more anxious to sign than we are, for
they will get something from tbe
treaty, and we will not."
Asserting that neither Russia,
France who "trusted the peace treaty
so little that she made a separate
agreement with the United States and
England," Italy, Great Britian, nor
China, have shown any urgent demand
for the league of nations, he set the
fifth point down as being "merely the
rhetorical flourish of a very great ad
vocate." Lastlj , as to the plea that the cove
nant and treaty would abolish war, he
said: "We will do everything that
within us lies to abolish war or to
make it less likely; and yet even as
there are worse things than war."
He did not enlarge upon this beyond
pointing to the taith of the Christian
fathers who laid down their lives for
their beliefs, concluding this section
by saying "But the covenant before
us is not a league to prevent war; it
is, on the contrary, a league to en
sure war"
Outlines His Views.
Before launching into the specific
answers, Major Clark outlined his
view of the operation of the league
should it be put into effect, using Jap
an as his most frequent example of a
danger in hypothetical situations
which he said would arise under the
workings of the league He empha
sized the small number of votes allot
ted to the Anglo-Saxon race, and reit
erated time and again the statement
that the real strength of the. league,
as constituted, rests with the five prin
cipal powers England, France, the
United States, Italy and Japan He de
parted from his prepared speech to
say :
"If VPrnnrri V. ri tr I -j n rl jnH t Vi a
Stats may form a union tor self de
fense, why should not Germany, Aus
tria, Bulgaria and Turkey? And where,
I ask you, do you think that the Slavic
peoples of the Balkans will go when
the break comes7
"It would be lo deny the uniform
lesson of history," he said, "to assume
that they will not follow Russia, and
as Russia and Germany and Austria l
go, so will go Japan in all human prob
ability. And if this lineup and the con
flict it makes certain shall be post
poned for half a century, and the Jap
anese hold on China, formally sanc
tioned by us, be not disavowed and
broken, China will albo be with these
powers. There will be 750,000,000 peo
ple against the paltry few millions
which fringe the western coast of Eur
ope. The picture, ladies and gentle
men, is not overdrawn "
Other parts of his address were as
follows
"The discussion of the treaty has
reached a stage where it is quite im
possible for anyone to discuss it in any
profitable way without subjecting him
self to a charge of political partisan-
"Beaafy is ii
j Skin Ehep"
but a beautiful skin is possible only when the liver
and kidneys are active, and the bowels functionate
properly. The secret of beauty as well as of health
is to maintain perfect digestion and eumination.

ship Indeed, it now seems the matter
will be the great political issue in oui
next presidential campaign, whatever
tbe disposition of the treaty may be at
the hands of the senate.
Condemns Peace Terms.
"Out of much study there has come
to mo the conclusion that nothiDg
loomfl before us which could be equal- .
ly disastrous with its ratification by
us. AJid this conclusion reached not
lone that part which deals with the
league of nations, but also those parts I
which provide for the treatment ot our '
crushed foe, Germany, and for the in
ternatlonal labor organization.
"I am against the league of na
tions; I am against the treaty as a
whole, not because I am a Republican,
not because it is fathered by its dls
tinguished proponents, but because, as
a patriotic American, I believe the ef
fects would flow from its adoption
woUld constitute the most far-reaching !
disaster that could by any chance come
to us. v
"The theory of the league covenant
is this. Representatives of ail the na
tions of the world named in an annex
attached to the covenant shall meet in
an assembly. In this body, each na
tion may have three representatives,
but only one vote. However, by virtue
of her self governing colonies. Great
Britain will have six voles, while we
shall have but one. In addition to the
assembly, there is a council composed
of nine i epresentatives, one for each
of nine states, each representative to
hav but one vote. I ask you to again
note that tbe only effective powers in
the council arc the five principal al
lied and associated powers the I ni'
'ed States, France, Great Britain, Italy
and Japan.
"If Japan should insist upon the free
entry of her nationals Into the L'nited
States, and we contested it. it would
be for the council or the league to de
termine whether the exclusion of un
desirable aliens was a matter of in
ternational concern. So as to our
treatment and protection of aliens gen
erally in mis country, our larui sys
tem and manv other matters it is not
necessary now to enumerate.
"Of this entire league organization
the council is by far the most impor
tant body because into its jurlsdic-
i lion the league covenant put in the
! first Instance all mutters of prime im
portance. In other words, while the
document purports to create a league
in which all nations are equal, yet as
'a matter of fact it entrusts the fun
damental functions created by the
I covenant to a group of nine states,
five of which are the principal allied
and associated powers 1 have already!
named. In this connection, I may, in!
posing, remark that neither Russia, I
nor Germany, nor Austria, nor Bui
carta, nor Turkey, whose combined;
populations, including probably half
j of the civilized Christian world, has
'been asked to Join this league.
Anglo-Saxons Outvoted.
"Of the European power who have!
jbecn asked to Join two only are re-
publics, all the rest are monarchies.
'In this league assembly, when consti
tilted, the Anglo-Saxon race will have I
seven votes out of a possible thirty
two or forty five. In the council the I
Anglo Saxon race will have two votes!
out of nine.
"Each original member of the!
league of nations is also a member ofj
the labor organization, created under;
the treaty, which functions first
through a general conference made up
of four representatives coming from
each member. Of these four represen
tatives, two are government delegates',
on Is an employers' or capital delegate
and one is a labor delegate You will
observe that this treaty forces for the;
first time in our history a formal clas
distinction, contrary to our comtitu-l
tional provisions, between labor on'
the one hand and capital on the other.
The subordination of America, its gov-,
ernmenl, its labor and its capital to j
alien governments and influences is ;
far greater in the labor organisation
than is American s.'ordlnation in th
I league of nations.
War Made Certain.
'There is no principle in the coe-
jnant which justifies intervention in
Civil wars. In certain cases it (the;
league) makes war legal and in other
cases positive and mandatory.
"By article 10 of the league cove
nant we guarantee the territorial stat-
us quo of the various allied and asso
ciated powers as established by thn
! treaty. 1 am fully aware of the con- !
jtention put forward by proponents of!
the league that this is but a moral ob- 1
ligation; that congress, if it does not'
wish to go to war. may disavow, this!
moral obligation. If we are to have,
the league with its obligations, lot us
take it, and let us live up to the full !
measure oi us obligations, wnateveri
their character.
"We who, for a century and a half,
have followed the prophetic wisdom!
of Washington, uttered in his fare-!
well address, now lind ourselves not;
alone in European alliances, which he!
condemned, but actually co-owner of
European territory.
"Has any other treaty in history
ever dispossessed a nation of more ter
ritory than has this, and this is but I
the begnlnnlng. We have yet to come
tp the treaty or treaties with Austria,
with Hungary' and with our ally, Rus
sia. "Let no one, I beseech you, lull you I
to sleep with paeans on peace or
beatitudes on the righteousness of ,
modern men and nations Compel
anyone who talks to you on this treaty
to discuss its terms, for in them is the I
issue, and compel him to tell you and
to substantiate his telling with treaty
provisions, how this treaty is going to
do away with war."
"But, say the proponents further,
Germany has been defeated, Germany I
has been humbled, her spirit has been '
broken. But, if we may believe any
of the accounts which come to us,
Germany has not been humbled. On
the contrary, hostilities were brought
to a close and the armistice signed at
the moment when her humiliation was
Imminent, but before it was complet
ed. "If we enter the league and are (ail
ed upon to perform its obligations, we
must not besmirch our fair name, we
must not disgrace the memory of our
honored ancestors, nor ourselves, nor
our posterity, by a refusal based on
I the plea that the obligation imposed
is merely moral. We must not be
come a hiss and a byword among the
nations of the earth If we are not
prepared to keep every obligation of
the treaty, we must reject It.
Says War Legalized.
"This league makes war legal and in
other cases positive and mandatory.
If we associate ourselves in thib league
we obligate ourselves to Join in any
measure deemed necessary, even meas
ures of force 'to safeguard the peace of
nations' whatever that means. If Mon
tencgro and Serbia threaten an out
break or should actually engage in hos
tilities contrary to the provisions of !
the league, we should be bound to fur
nish our proportion of the armed forces j
necessary to bring them to terms. But, 1
say the proponents of the league, we
should need but a few men In any such
case as this, a paltry few thousands,
and this much we may easily do. To
thi6 I answer, Yes. That ls all we shall
need, but that paltry few thousands
will be somebody's sons, or somebody's
husband, and who shall dare say that
American life and American freedom
is not the most precious on the earth''
"I warn you that if you put in opera
tion this league, we shall have a per
manent compulsory military system
which will reach Into the homes of ev
eery one of you, to take off your sons
and husbands to fight in battles in
which we have no concern, and which
have no permanent effect upon th
history of the world, and in the Issues
of which we cannot by any stretch of
the imagination be ourselves affected
It is not customary to go Into a street
brawl and risk your life merely for the
abstract idea that a fight is wrong
Why should we go into an interna
tional brawl on any such theory?
Would It not be better and wiser to
save American life to protect America
and her institutions?
"Again, if two nations get into a dls
pute and, pursuant to the terms of the
treaty, they refer the matter either
to arbitration or to the council or to
the assembly of the league itself they
may under this treaty go legally to war
after three months from the render
ing of this decision, if such decision
so rendered be not satisfactory to
them. What shall be the alignment oi
the other powers in such a war so
waged is entirel unstipulated iu the
treaty, and we should not know to
what lengths a war so sanctioned by
tht treaty itself might lead us.
Further, if after the determination
of such a difficulty by the council,
by arbitration, or by the assembly, one I
of the parties thereto shall fail to ob- I
serve that decision, war is legalized1

Quotes From Lincoln.
M.ijor Clark concluded his address
by a quotation from a speech gien by
Abraham Lincoln warning that the
free institutions of the United Stales
were In danger. The quotation was In
part as follows, and was generally tak
en lo be directed against President
Wilson:
"It is to deny what the history of
the world tells usfis true to suppose
that men of ambition and talents will
not continue to spring up amongst us.
And when thc-y do. they will as natural
ly seek the gratification ot their rul
ing passion as others have done be
fore them. Many great and good men,
sufficiently qualitied for any task they
undertake, may ever be found whose
ambition would aspire to nothing be
yond a seat in congress, a gubernator
ial or a presidential chair, but such
belong not to the familv of the lion,
or the tribe of an eagle. What? Think
you these places would salisfv an AI
txander, a Caesar or a Napoleon .' N v
er. Towering genius disdains a beat
en path. It seeks regions hitherto uu
explored. It denies II i i glorj i nough
lo serve under any chief. It thirsts
and burns for distinction; and. if pos
sible, it wil have it, whether at the
expense of emancipating slaves or en
slaving freemen Is it unreasonable,
then, to expect that tome men pos
sessed of the lottiest genius, coupled
with ambition sufficient to push it to
its utmost stretch, will at some tinil
spring up among us? And when such
an one does, it will require Ihe people
to be united with each other, attached
tc government4and law. , and generally
intelligent, to successfully frustrate
his designs."

Railroads Begin
To Show a Margin
On Right Side
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 For the
flr.st time in many months, govern
men operation of the railroads in July
showed a surplus instead of deficit.
Director General Hines announced
today that preliminary figures of the
month's business indicated net oper
ating income of $77,000,000. After al
lowing one -twelfth of the annual ren
tal due the railroad companies, the
net gain is about $2,000,000. as com
pared with a deficit of $22,031,000 the
preceding month and $65,000,060 in
February, the largest deficit of the
year. The net loss to the government
"for seven months Is $290,524,307.
In calculating the surplus, however,
no account was taken of the wage in
crease offered the shopmen and which
has not yet been accepted by them.
It has been estimated that the fouf
cents an hour advance would amount
to about $45,000.00 a year, and a it
it retroactive, the surplus for July
may become a deficit of approximate
ly the same amount L .
Mr. Hines pointed out that the fall
ing off in freight business continued
to be a big factor in the railroad ad- .
ministration's finances, although busi
ness has grown steadily since Febru
ary'. As compared with July, 131S, the
decrease in operating income "wa
about forty-four per cent. Ton miles
per mile of road per day in Jnly or
this year were 4.ST8. and in July of
last year 5.489. The freight traffic
was about 25 per cent larger than the
average of July of the three-year tept
period, on which the returns to the
roads are computed, bat expenses
likewise were greater, the iaereaae
amounting to $175,000,000 or about 95
per cent, much of it in wages. Par.
senger traffic also showed a substan
tial increase.
