"OLD GLORY*
"America For Americans"
TH£ DEVIL S DKKA.M
No less authority than Dr. Newell I
3wi»ht Hillis, the esteemed Brook-1
jn paetor, is responsible for the
•harga that the present war actual
y had its origin as far back as
1892, at a meeting of the Kaiser
tad his confidential war lords in
Potsdam Palace. The revelation of
whs* cccurred on that occasion com
lug from such a reliable source,
erompted the above caption. Here
ta the Btory:
Thi Kaiser handed a confidential
document to his assembled friend
A' tb« head of the document were
t>ie«e words: "The 1'an German
Empire." The second line read:
"From Hamburg on the North Sea
tj the Persian Gulf." The third
liae: "Our ultimate goal—by 1915;
250,000,000 people.-' The fourth
line read; "Our ultimate goal —
the Germaalzation of all the peo
ple tf the yorld."
TH* mark this: The page om><j
slte contained this startling infor
mation: "From my childhood I
have been under the influence of
fire men: Alexander, Julius Caesar,
Cnarlaa the Fifth and Frederick the
freat and Napoleon. All these
jaeu dieamed their dreams of a
world-wide empire — they failed.
1 hare dreamed my dream of a
»-orid-emplre—and I shall succeed." (
The third page of tois remarx
able document showed a map of
tue Roman Empire of Caesar Au
gustus, with the mighty Rome as
l*m, Ephesus and Athens reduced
th« capital and CarthageJ Jerusa
to tributary cities. The page oppo
site carried the outline of the 1915
German map, as conjured in the
bralj of the scheming war lord.

Auxtrta, and all the other little
Independencies, the single word

Dr. Hilll* undoubtedly knew

that the propaganda of world-domin*

HOW ABOUT THAT GRUB STAKE
II IS FOOO WILL Will THE WAR
Cucle Sam is mighty big and
strong, but he la not so big and
strcne tuat he can afford to break
a promise. There is not a real
American in this couatrj who would
not light to make good one of
Unei» Sam's promises. When Uucle
S;<m says anything, that means that
ail his loyal »ona and. daughters
have said it. The honor and in
terest of this nation are in the
keeping of our splnedid citizenry.
Here is the proposition: We
'•are promised to "grubstake" the
A'Ue*. Wa said: "You need not
farm—you fight!"
Ttey did not farm,but how they
did fl*ht!
Winter Is coming on. There
were few for the sowing and there
are fewer now for the hanrest. The
piucn has come. In France they are
looking acrojse the sea and saying:
"How about that grug-stake,
Untie Sam; how about that grub
stake."8
They are not whimpering, the
Frenchmen, they are not that kind,
but they are hungry and if we
fail tbem with our "*rub-stake"
they will S-T-A-R-V-E!j Thousands
of them—men, women and little
children.
Gnawing at a mere empty prom
ise will not help them. Nothing
will help them but food.
It 1« food that will win the war.
How are we going to get It?
We are going to save it—save it
to suye our pals, because that's
wliat luo Allies are ia this tight.
VVe are going to make good 011
Uuc'.e Sam's promise that he would
furnish the "grub-slake" for the
war.
The Allies need wore wheat,
more mea, more sugar, it is eith
er wheatless and meatless days for
us or wheatless aud meatless
months lor them.
Aud we are going to ljelp—every
oue <>' us. There is no mistake
about that. We will make good on
j tbe "grub-stake" promise for the
s^ke of the folks who trusted us
aud for the sake of our soldiers us
■ well. Just remember that they are
bound for France—the land where i
j t « are sending the "grub-stake." I
' \Ve want no regrets after this
[ war. We have had ample warning
| of the condition which awaits us,
I unless every American citizen
resoonds to th« call of duty. You
and I want to feel, when the regi
ments of our boys return from the
battlefields 0f Europe, some of
them possibly; broken, but all vic
torious. that we have done our
part, even to the last detail, and
we may not have to lay upon our
own. consciences the loss, through
pur neglect, of a single American.
Very truly yours,
U. S. FOOD ADMINISTRATION,
By Walter Matscheck.
Quite likely, it's just as they reason
They'd be sure to get frost-bitten
here;
So tney fare forth to gome warmer
climate
Where there'll always be some
thing astir.
Well, methinks when we get home
to heaven
And tno yearly gates open out wide
There 11 be gome who, for just the
same reason,
Will figure on going oustide.
ALASKA MINER IS
TRIMMED BY TRICK
"Shades of '98!" exclaimed Police
Lk'U'ei.ant Joe Mason the other af
ternoon when told that Trinko Ap
rovlch, recently returned from Al
aska, was the victim of an old con
'idence trick, says a Seattle news
paper.
Aorovich, 40 veara old and a
miner, was standing at First Aven
ue south and Washington street
when a man began searching the
sidewalk for something which he ap
ueared to have lost. He was join
ed by another who told him the Al
askan had picked up something a
motnect before and put it in his
oocket.
ADiovich, sure of his own Inno
cence consented to a search of his
clcthlng. The pair of bunco artists,
according to the story told later at
the oolice station, searched until
they came to his money belt in
vhlch he had $380 in $20 gold
pieces. This they emptied into a
handkerchief, counting each. coin.
Seemingly uatisfied that they nad
not fcund what they were looking
for the men rolled up the handker
chief and placed It in Aprovich's
pocket and walked away. The vic
tim pulled out the bundle, bent on
restoring his w-ealth to the belt,
and discovered stones. The trick
was a favorite one during early
rushes to Northern gold fields, but
has not been worked here iu many
yean. , £ ' : j
Da Vinci'* Curious Writing.
Although I.eonurdo (la Vinci was a
voluminous writer, lie never published
a single line during his lifetime. After
the master's death in France his manu
scripts were takeu back to Italy. His
heirs proved imworth;,-, and the pre
cious writings were gradually dispers
ed. Loose pages were often detached
and were either given a way as relics
or stolen. No attempt was made to
publish any of his treatises, except that
on painting, for more than 300 years
after his death. This was partly owing
to the great difficulty of deciphering his
Uaudwriting. I>a Vinci was left hand
ed and always wrote in oriental faah
ion, from right to left. Besides this,
his orthography is peculiar to himself,
tie abbreviates some words and Joins
others together and employ* neither
stops nor accents.
Buddhism.
Buddhism started with Gautama
Buddha about GOO years before the
Christian era, and it numbers among
its adherents more than a third of the
human race. Buddhism is conSned
mainly to Asia—Manchuria. Mongolia,
Korea, Tibet, China, Japan and the
large islands off the Asiatic coast
Though born in India, Buddhism is
not strong in that country today, be
ing driven out by the old Hinduism of
which !t is the offshoot.
One Weak Spot
Miyiy Skagway People H"ve a Weak
l'art ajMl Too Often it's the
Back
Alauy people have a weak spot.
Too often it's a bad back.
Twinges follow every sudden
twist.
Dull aching keeps up, day and
night.
Backache is oftcu from weak kid
neys.
Ia such cases a kidney medicine
is needed.
Dam's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
For Backache a-nd urinary ills.
Good proof of merit is the fol
lowing' statement.
James Cubbon, Mgr. Victor Clean
ing aud Dye Works, 120* Yesler
Way, Seattle, Wash., says: "iMy
kidneys were in bad shape aud
evei^ ♦ime I bent over it seemed
i as though my back would break.
The Kidney secretions were unna
tural, Deing scanty, painful and ir
regular in passage. My work as a
tailor kept me bent over and that
made suffer 811 the more . 1
was lame and s'iff all over and
could hardly straighten up. It w&su'
any time before Doan's Kidney Pills
had helped me and I was soon
cured of every sign of the trouble."
Price 60c, at all dealere. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Cubbon had. Foster-JIil
