fVv "WAR 18 HELL."
• *■ * -
The old orthodox creed of a hell
Into which After dtmt& the spirit of
the departed wu csst to suffer un
ending agonies la ft lake of molten
brimstone, kit bow pretty *'UH ex
ploded, and tt la now generally re
cognised that the expiation of our
misdeeds does not occur after death,
but while we *r» lis thg Xi08*1, and
comob from a conditioa at mind or
body of our own creation, or through
•oma act of other* with whom we
are either intimately or remotely
connected, and ©rw which we ex
ercise no contro).' One needs only
to look toward the eastern horizon,
where the smoke from burning
cities, towns,- Tillages and home
steads obscures the refulgence of
the morning sun, and where
the wail of the widow and orphan
drowns the sound of conflict, to rea
lise that this Is so.
While It is true that the inno
cent are th» ones upon whom the
iaflicUoa falls most heavily, is it
uot also tru« that the same condi
tion was supposed to exist in the
orthodox hell wherein, it was preach
ed, 'he petty offender was cast for
eternity along with the hardened
tuid degenerate criminal.
Takq not Up thg sword. They
that take up the sword shall per

War never decided any question
of right or wrong.—Thomas Jeffer

Napoleon Bonaparte.
A good man never make** a good
soldier. The worst man always

I confess, with shame, that I am

crjr aloud for more Wood, more
vengeance, more desolation. Wax
Is hell.—General shennaan.
I- do not know of a war for the
last 300 years that wa« caused by a
soldier's ambition. All wars have
economic causes. Without a single
exception, all wars are wars for
trade. They are all caused by
tankers, merchant® and business
men.—General Frederick Dent Grant
TkV shall beat- their 1 words in

A WORLD EVENT
Not much fuss was made in New
York when the steamer Ne
braska, from San Francisco,
dropped anchor in the bay, near
Staten Island. There was no P">~
cession, nor brass bands, nor pub
lic speeches. The only thing out ot
the ordinary that marked the oc
casion was the enthusiastic wel
come Acting Mayor McAneny gave
the captain when he called at the
city hall.
Yet the 'event was one which
would have called forth general
jubilation if the country had not
teen so deeply absorbed in the
grapple of the big European na
tions.
For the Nebraska was the first
freight steamer to carry a cargo
through the Panama canal la the
regular course of trade. The
voyage from San Francisco was
i accomplished in less than half the
time that would have been neces
sary if the old route through the
Straits of Magellan had been taken.
Following the Nebraska will come
many a good ship laden with the
products of the California coast,
Alaska, and the western countries
of South America.
NECK JU0 CHEST
: Affected by Poison Oak, hched Un
til Nearly Crazy. Had to Walk
Floor At Night. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment Cured.
L Dryden. Ore. — "Traveling through tho
woods'ono day I was looking at and handling
a little vine. When I got homo I felt an
ltcmng ana owning ami mo
first thing I knew my fact)
was all swollen up. Tho
l poison oak affected my face,
' hands, arms and chest and
it disfigured me very much.
My face and neck were broken
out and itched until I was
i nearly crazy. I had to walk
the floor at night and losO
: much sleep and work also. My race, necK
and chest were covered with a heavy rash.
I I could not allow clothing of any kind to
touch the affected parts.
" I was told that and would
I relieve me but I got no relief. I used other
| remedies without success. It got to such a
| stage that it I hadn't gotten relief soon I
I would certainly have lost my mind. My
| mother happened to have a cake of Cuticura
Soap and a box of Cutlcura Ointment In tho
house and I washed with the Cuticura Soap
freely and then applied the Cuticura Oint
ment. I got relief at the tirst application and
then I-slept like a child. In three weeks
I was perfectly cured." (Signed) E. H.
DeGrasse, Mar. 28. 1913.
Cuticura Soap (23c.) and Cuticura Oint
ment (50c.) are sold throughout the world.

A Mild Accusation.
I Uncle Henry Barnes was one of the
| mildest of men. No one had ever seen
, him angry or Impatient, but when his
| old time neighbor and supposed friend,
John Ragland. deliberately cheated
him out of $900 even his kindly, pa
tient spirit wns ruffled.
•"Some time," he remarked to his wife,
"I'm going to tell that maa what I
think of him."
One day he came home highly dissat
isfied with himself. "1 saw John Rag
land today, and I told him straight out
what I thought of him," he said.
"What did you say?" asked his wife.
"I told him I thought he was a very
unreasonable man."—Youth's Compan

England's Shortest Ministry.
England eiiu bent France in tlie com
petition for the shortest ministry on
record. On Feb. 10. 1740. the Earl of
Bath came inio power and on the 12th
of the same month went out. having
merely achieved for his government
the historic nickname of the "short
lived" administration. The average
lenjxh of -in English niinistry has been
variously estimated at four, five and
six years, but Walpole managed to re
main in power for twenty-one years
and Pitt for eighteen.—London Chron
icle.
Antiquity of the Cucumber.
The cucumber was cultivated in
Egypt before the days of Moses. If
you are Interested In the subject you
will find that the children of Israel in
tbe wilderness (there were about 3,000,
000 of themi mourned the cucumbers
which they had left behind them In
the land of boudage. You will Dnd
this fact recorded in Numbers xi, 5:
"We rememiier the tish which we did
eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers
and the melons and the leeks and the
onions and the garlic."—Indianapolis

A BIT OT ADVICE
First—Don't Delay. Second—Don't
Experiment.
If you suffer from backache;
headaches or dizzy Bpells; if you
rest poorly and are languid in the
morning; if the kidney secretions
are irregular and unnatural iu ap
pearance, do not delay In such
cases the kidneys often need help.
Doan's Kidney pills are espec
ially prepared for kidney trouble—
they are recommendd by thousands.
Can kidney sufferers desire more
convincing proof than the state
ment following:
James M. Cahill, stationary engin
eer, 247 Harrison St., Portland,
Oregon, says; "Nothing has oc
curred to alter my high opinion of
Doan's Kidney Pills, and I con
firm my former endorsement of
them given some years ago. Since
then, I have been helped by Doan's
Kidney puis and I believe that thoy
have no equal for kidney and blad
der trouble.'"
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Cahill had. Foster-MIlburn
