United States Needs a
Stronger Army and
Navy
By WILLIAM R TAFT, Former Presi^
dent of the United States
WE should keep a navy that
would make it dangerous for
any foreign power to land
on our shores; should have a rea
sonable arrav, NOT ONLY FOR
PROTECTION AGAINST THE
INVASION OF AHMED FOES,
lirr FOR MORAL LOCAL PKO
TKCT10N OF OUR ONE HUN
DRED million souls.
We should have adequate coast
defense forts and have the canal
wol! protected. No Davy could land
hero, 1 believe, for the lani> forecs
and lort* could stand them off.
Why not have an international
court 10 settle all disputes and an
international police patrol? 1 be
lieve when the European nations
are through fighting they will have
an object lesson showing them that
peace has some elements worthy of
admiration.
We are fortunate in having been
kept out of the present European
war. and we ought to support the
administration in keeping us out.
WILD GOOSE LIFE.
The Gander !• a Master of Strategy
and a Fierce Fighter.
We know nothing of tbe courtship
of tile wild goose. but we feel assured
tti it ii uiust be a seemly and worthy
•itT:nr Once muted, there ts no fur
t .-r net-d for vows and protestations.
.11 the birds mate for life. Together
t! cy unite in building the nest, but the
iz>xwe a'»ne watches over the eggs,
w hile da v und nlsht the gander weaves
t°.i ail directions od wnter and on land
hIs trails of watchfulness.
Neither man nor boast may approach
without being fiercely and successfully
assailed, buffeted and routed by a re
lentless attack with beak and wings.
This guardianship is trebled when the
new generation, helpless and depend
ent. voices Its first need for protec
tion froui the perils which encompass
and beset It.
If. perchance, the small family elects
to remain on the shore the parents
will circle round and round the group
of golden goslings, and If danger
threatens from any one direction the
gander, by some miracle of strategy,
will succeed in placing himself at tbe
one vulnerable point of his Intrench
uieut. IIis loyalty, astuteness and un
selfishness are not to be found in those
unobservant folk who have presnmeO
to slander hlra.
In swimming the strictest discipline
Is maintained The young form in
slng'e liie. following the mother, while
the gander brings up the rear, with
eyes constantly sweeping the whole
range of vision His vigil is ceaseless
Rud untiring.
Su'-h is the life of these two birds
that are mated in more than sex. and
when death comes to one or the other
of them we know that many times the
one that remains will seek no other
mate, but will return each spring to
tbe site of his former nest, which he
will never renew again.—Atlantic.

The Rathbone family of Chicago

pened that some persons who bad en

If Suffrage Is Good For
Man It Is Good For
His Mother
By Mrs. H. H. FELTON of Georgia,
Author anJ Sufiragist
NOW I'm working for suffrage.
I am a suffragist because 1
know what the right of the
franehi«o will mean for women and
children. Vt»L* K\o\V TilK OLD

ITS SOURCK. I I'.Kf.IHVK IT,
AND BELIEVK TH \T WHAT Is
GOOD FOR A MAN" IS GOOD
FOR HIS MOT I IKK.
During slavery times a negro was
free if only hi- mother were free.
N".i freedom on the part of his fa

I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS WAS
SO. BUT IT WA3 THE LAW OF THE
LAND BACK IN THE OLD DAYS.
AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE
THE LAW OF THE LAND TODAY
THAT NO SON CAN BE FREE UN
LESS THE WOMAN TO WHOM HE
OWES HIS LIFE IS ALSC FREE.
FREEDOM.
There are limitations to every
man's freedom. For one who is un
willing to recognize tnis the world
is not a good p'ace to live in.
Very Nicely English.
This curious Bengali English was
used to advertise a cirrus in India:
"Some horse will make very good
tri-'ks. The klown will come and talk
with that horses therefore audience
will laugh itself very much. The lady
will walk on horses hac k and horse is
jumping very much also. One mau
will make so tricks of trapeze audi
ence will frald himself very much. One
lady will make himself so bend, then
everybody he will think, he is the rub
ber lady. This is the very grand dis
play. This is the very better gymnns
tics. One uian will walk on wire tight,
he is doing very nicely because he Is
professor of that."
. i c j ■ neiauves.
"Wlio Is that lady dresed lu black,
mother?" asked Bobby as he sat with
his mother on u ferryboat.
"That is a Sister of Charity, my
boy," replied his mother.
Bobby pondered deeply for a mo
; ment, and then he said, '"Which Is she.
! mother. Faith or Hope?"—Harper's
j Bazar.
The Only Original.
Bluks—What are the seven wonders
of the world anyhow? Can you name
i'em? Jinks—My wife's first husband
i was one. and it doesn't matter about
I the others—they sink into Insignifi
ennce.—Florida Times-Union.

ACT QUICKLY
Delay Has Been Dangerous in Al
aska
I Do the right thing m tho right
time.
Act quickly in litno of danger.
In time o£ kidney danger Doan's
Kidney Pills are most effective.
Plenty of eviilenco of their worth.
Mrs. M. E. Cook, Stato St., Sedro
Woolley, Wash., says: "I strained
my back while lifting and it was
lame and weak for a long time. I
had sharp, shooting pains in niy
back, and if I stooped it was hard
for luo to straighten. It was also
hard tor mo to get uo from a chair.
I was bothered by too frequent pas
sages of tha kidney- secretions at
times, then again they didn't pass
often enough. I doctored, but got
no better, and finally I decided to
try Doan's Kidney Pills. After I
had taken a few doses, 1 found
they were helping mt and i continu
ed using them until 1 was fixed up
in good shape."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simple ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Cook had. Foster-Milburn
