The President's Triumph.
Any . policy is entitled to be
judged by its results; and by that
test the President's Mexican pol
icy is splendidly vindicated. A
vagrant war item records that
one Victoriano Huerta is maroon
ed in London, presumably await
ing a chance to get into Spain.
Little noticed amid bigger dis
tractions, the Constitutionalists
took peaceful possessions of the
Mexican capital.
The future, perhaps, is any
body's guess; but Huerta is out,
and a Government that has some
show to restore settled conditions
is in, and only a few Arrerican
lives have been lost. The Pres
ident and the Secretary of State
were rather lonesome in adher
ing to the policy that has issued
in this bloodless fashion; but
when they look across at Europe
they are entitled to deep satis
faction.
The country is horrified by the
European slaughter. Everybody
is horrified by war after it be
gins; yet only a few months ago
we heard a great deal about the
merits of taking a strong stand
with Mexico, asserting our nat
ional dignity and the rest of the
rigmarole that meant rows of
American youths dead or wound
ed in a trivial cause. Saturday

PUBLIC SPEAKING:
We hope to have with us on this occasion some of the States

Fun for the Twins.
Chester and Clarence Irvin,
19-year-aId twins, of Edwards,
Miss., are the cause of confusion
everywhere they go because of
their absolute similarity .7 They
are exactly the same iheight, ex
actly the same breadth, dress in
iheaarne way, have the same
expression and carriage, and,
too, they are related in such a
way that when one suffers from
headache or other ailments, the
other twin is similarly affected.
Jn school when one of the boys
had been naughty and was kept
in during the noon hour .the
guilty boy would go over to
where his brother was sitting
and get "mixed up" with the
other twin. When the noon hour
'came the teacher would not know
which was which, and no one
else in the building would know
but Chester and Clarence; but.
of course, Chester was general
ly the guilty twin and would not
own up that he was Chester.
Clarence would say he was Clar
ence and was innocent and Ches
ter would still contend that he
was Clarence. The teacher was
unable, therefore, to administer
the punishment, and the boys
were laughed out of school.
The climax came the other day
when a show came to town and
Chester made an engagement to
to take a young lady to the Opera
house that night. Clarence knew
of the engagement, and just for
fun thought he tfould get ready
before Chester and escort the
girl.
Cheater got ready at last, and
hurried around to the young la
dy's residence to find she and
his brother had gone. She was
sorely perplexed when Chester
arrived at the Opera house-ten
minutes later and told her that
she had been tricked by his
brother.
Apply Sloan's freely for Lumbago.
Your attacks of Lumbago are not
nearly so hopeless as they seem. You
can relieve them almost instantly by
a simple application of Sloan's Lini
ment on the back and loins. Lumba
go is a form of rheumatism, and yields
perfectly to Sloan's, which penetrates
quickly all in through the sore, ten
der musles, limber up the back and
makes it feel fine. Get a bottle of
Sloan's Liniment for 25 cents of any
druggist and have it in the house
against colds, sore and swollen joints,
rheumatism, neuralgia, soiatioa and
like ailments. Your money back If
not satisfied, but it does give almost
instant relief. Sold by Paull Drug

Fortunately for the country, a
master hand' is at the helmet at
Washington. He realizes what
neutrility should be, and he will
see that it is observed. His wis
dom, proven in so many ways
in the repeal of the Panama Ca
nal tolls exemption law, irritat
ing to foreign nations; in the
handling of the dangerous Mexi
can problem; in the pushing
through of the Federal currency
law, which now prevents any
financial stress the wisdom we
may feel sure is still supreme
and still for the noble uses of
the best interests of the country,
no matter what demands may be
made upon it.
The few little critics of Presi
dent Wilson cannot yet resign
themselves to a cessation of their
snapping at his heels, no matter
what he does. They are not
significant save as of obedience
to partisan orders. The greater
critics of recent times have hon
orably and patriotically admitted
their mistake and are giving the
President that support in his
foreign policy he so richly de
serves. As for the people, who are be
yond and above all newspapers
and politicians in the power and
majesty of their will they have
learned to trust Woodrow Wjl
son. They trust him now in this
delicate problem of neutrality.
They know that the master hand
is at the helm. Boston Post

Every boy and girl should know
the cause of the present: Euro
pean war. While the growing
hatred between the countries in
volved dates back many, many
year3, the immediate cause, or
events, which served to plunge
several countries into war are
these:
It was the assassination of
Francis Ferdinand, crown prince
of Austria, and his consort, at
Sareivo, Bosnia, on June 28, by
a Servian student, Gavric Prin
zip, that plunged the continent
of Europe into war.
At the root of the matter lies
the immemorial feud between
Slav and Teuton. Involved also
are the pledges of the tripple al
liance between Germany, Austria
Hungary and Italy, on one side,
and between Great Britian,
France and Russia, comprising
the triple entente, on the other.
Just what are these alliances,
and how brought about?
In 1879 Germany and Austria
formed an alliance for protection
against Russia. In 1888, Bis
marck strengthened this alliance
by the inclusion of Italy. Aus
triaand Germany pledged mutual
assistance if attacked by Russia,
Italy and Germany if attacked by
France. This is the much dis
cussed tripple alliance.
The triple entente is the prod
uct of the dual alliance between
France and Russia in 1887, and
informal understanding between
England and France in 1904, and
England and Russia in 1907. It
was designed by Edward VII to
balance the triple alliance.
In addition to the above factors
of the war, we must not over
look the 40 years of hatred be
tween France and Germany, dat
ing from the war of 1870; the
growing English jealousy of Ger
man naval and commercial growth
and ambition of Russia to com
plete the dismenberment of Tur
key and to make of the Black
sea a Russian lake.
Study these facta, and when
anyone asks what it is all about
you will be able to tell them.
Cured by Suggestion.
Mental heajing has long been
practiced, but Dr. Berillion, of
Paris, asserts that psychothera
pia is the medicene of the future.
He does not put his patients in
to an hypnotic trance, but places
them in an environment which
creates the appetite for sleep and
invites them to repose on a bed
and think of nothing. Then he
leaves them. They gradually
succumbs to the tick-tack of a
metronome.
When the patient is in an hyp
notic slumber, if its desired that
he should be cured of excessive
indulgence in alcohol, the psy
chotherapist suggests to him
that he cannot raise a glass of
absinthe to his lips, and repeats
the suggestion until the prohibi
tion 13 so engraved on his brain
that if he would he could not do
so.
Dr. Berillion is frequently con
sulted by those who wish to be
cured of unhappy love passion.
Through hypnotism they obtain
their release.
Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines.
If you want to contribute directly to
the occurrence of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines
that contain codine, morphine, heroin
and other sedatives when you have a
cough or cold. Any expectorant like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is what
is needed. That cleans out the cul
ture beds or breeding places for the
germs of pneumonia and other germ
diseases. That is why pneumonia never
results from a cold when Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is used. It has
a world wide reputation for.its cures.
It contains no morphine or other sed
ative. For sale by Paull Drug'Co. ad
The folly of keeping low pro
ducing cows should be so appar
ent that stwh cows would be
shunned as thieves and robbers.
The way to secure a good dairy
herd is to breed it and produce
it on the farm rather than to de
pend upon purchases? every
season.
