A HARD WAR TO STOP
The great war haa spread with
remarkable swiftness from one
naticn to another until much
more than haif of the world is in
volved, to the extent that it is cov
ered by, the flags of the nations .en
gaged ia tha mighty sruggie. Kf
fort® to check the «weep of the j
tide which has dtrawa nine nations
into the conflict hare uniformly
failed, unless It may be considered
ecrtain that Italy will remain neu
tral. * . 4,,
Some sanguine spectators of the
vast upheaval haye argued from its
immense scope that It must soon
end. They have reasoned that i's
cost alone must quickly briug
about financial exhaustion and
compel peace. It seems to be for
gotten that as the srugs'a widens
and the statistics of the war grow
more stupendous the resources be
hind the armies and the fleets are
correspondingly augmented. And
It should be borne In mind that the
wid*T the spread of the war the
uoi« complications must stand in
the way of pe*ce.
r I* Is possible, for instance, that
Germany may be succeeful ' in
France and may beat back the Rus
sian invasion of Prussia, while the
two great insular powers, Great
Britain and Japan, may suffer only
comparatively slight losses and
may grow fat, in the commercial
sense, by the destruction, for the
time being, of German foreign
trade by sea and German maritime
competition. If that should prove
the case, how are they to be
brought into the same state of
mind regarding peace terms which
mar exist in France and Russia?
Who is to make Japan agree to
the conditions which Germany, if
successful on land, would surely
seek to impose?
Fey reasons such as these it Is
safe to say that guesses that the
war will soon be over are founded
more upon hope than on carefully
studied surreys of tha forces and
interests Involved. When the time
comes for beginning peace- nego
tiations the task of adjusting con
flicting views and Interests will be
tremeudously complicated and dif

Face and Neck Covered with Pim

Lindsay. Mont. — "I started to get great
bin blotches round my nock and 1 did not
think very much about it at ilrst, but they
commenced getting worse all the time and
such an Intense itching. It never gave me a
minute's rest. The pimples were red and
would swell. From itching, and scratching
them so it caused them to spread: there
would be sores from scratching them so
intensely. My face and neck were covered
with pimples. It looked as if my wholo
fare was in one solid rash or sore, and I was
nearly crazy with itching aud burning. At
night they would bo very bad so I barijly
could sleep. My face was. I must say. In
one raw sore. I nearly gave up all hopes of
ever getting like myself.
"I bough: a few bottles of some good hlood
medicine but without help. My poor face
did not get any better. I had heard so much
about Cuticura Soap and Ointment I
thought I would try them. So I bought one
cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuti
cura Ointment and started to use them and
followed the directions as closely as I could
To my surprise only a few applications
stopped the itching and scratching and in
a couple of weeks' time my face was nearly
well. I kept on using the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment and in two months' time I
was completely cured." (Signed) Mrs.
Gust Nelson. Dec. 4. 1912.
