Mme. Castutle Mendes, wife of the
French poet, hotly denies the state-
ment by Jane Addams that many per-
sons in England and France desire
Immediate peace. So far as France
Is concerned, Mme. Mendes chal-
lenges Miss Addams to name a single
person so disposed, and not "fasten
on our nation a causeless suspicion."
Since not one Frenchwoman either
attended or publicly approved the
Addams Peace Congress in Holland,
the challenge is fair.

has made public correspondence
which he bad in the latter part of
June with the owners of the Steam-
er Eastland, which capsized and
sank at its dock in Chicago, the lat-
ter part of July. In that corres-
pondence, Secretary Redfleld called
attention to the fact that due pro-
vision for the protection of the live?
of the passengers and crew had not
been made. If It Is pertinent for
Mr. Redfleld to make that corres-
po**ible for him to betray tke pnn-
ciple that led him to rebel against
the English King. He U the great-
est man in our history, because he is
the greatest character in our history.
When we think of Lincoln, we
think of a character as steadfast and
as deeply rooted a* this tree in the
picture.
You read character in his earnest,
sad face; you see It In the patience
with which he endured the stupidity
of his assailants, the cruel criticism
of bis fellow men, and all the burden
that fate put upon his shoulders.
He too was a powerful man, a
giant in strength, a man of brilliant
intellect, but all of his qualities
were as nothing compared to that
CHARACTER.
This nation is founded upon two
rocks—the character of Washington,
who established the nation, and the
, character of Lincoln, who saved the
1 nation.
Little boys, and big men, get tired
1 of doing every day what they
OUGHT to do.
You can encourage the boys, and
the men should find encouragement
for themselves in the fact that every
day of good work, self-control, truth
telling, resisting temptation means
just so much added to character and
its strength.
The giant oak tree in the field,
representing powerful character, is
the result of days, years and scores
of years of steady growth.
You can build up a character, as
the miser builds up his fortune,
ever}' day, adding so much. You
cannot count It or weigh it as gold
Is counted. BUT IT IS THERE.
Character is in the face of man,
acd you see there also the lack of
character. How many weak faces
tell the tale of feebleness, weak
purposes, emotions uncontrolled?
And how admirably character
stands out in the face that possesses
It.

Advertising is the
business. Every magazine
ters the small town and rural home
carries the ad of the mail-order
house. Expensive catalogs are
printed showing the illutratiocs of
the actual articles. Occasionally
sheets are scattered broadcast over
the country as a special com—on"
for the bargain hunter. Instead of
doing these things in a smaller way
through the columns of his local
paper, the merchant who can't afford
to advertise sits down and "cusses"
his tough luck and wonders why he
can't get the business. He never
thinks he has a better opportunity
to reach the people in his neighbor-
hood than the mail-order house haa.
It doesn't cost him as much as it does

ple to his store and show th«m the

when they buy, they can take their
One of the readers of the Home
Health Club was impressed with the
fi : that I always advise prompt ac-
tion when dangerous conditioos are
suspected, so when a pa>c in her
breast became evident, she carefully
-xamlned to find the cause. To her
surprise she found a lump of consid-
erable s ze. At once she sought her
1 lub book and under the heading of
' Cancer of the Breast," found a de-
scription of just such a lump Quite
as promptly she applied the simple
home treatment described and in a
reasonable time the lump and the
pain had nearly disappeared. The
fact that it did not entirely disap-
' pear, however, caused her to worry
and as that would not do at all she
wrote for more specific directions,
which I was very glad to give. The
lump was not a cancer, but if noth-
' ing had been done I am quite sure
that within a year the diagnosis
would have been quite definite.
I do not advise that you run to the
doctor for every little ache or pain,
but it is vastly better to consult him
frequently and keep well than to let
; suspicious conditions develop into in-
surable or dangerous diseases. If
you find that Dyorrhea is just getting
' started, go at once to your dentist
, and have him clean your teeth thor-

it. Advertising is an investment. It I
should be charged to your selling 1
cost. Figure what percentage you j
have to pay to advertise, then base ,
a fifty-two weeks' campaign on the j
computation. You can't lose. You '
can't afford NOT to advertise!

The Chicago Herald, neither ap-
plauding nor condemning the pro-
cedure, "just predicts" that the in-
coming Congress will find it neces-
sary "either to curtail expenditures
severely or to seek other sources of
revenue." The one best t>et is on
the latter course. A Democratic

TO CHURCH. And they will know you. Everv big man in the
country OOE.S TO CHURCH. He didn't need a GO TO
CHURCH movement to get him to go, either. Read the lives of
any of our big men. You will find that the truly great are regular
churchgoers.
A men who is a regular church attendant doesn't have to wait
for his reward in the neit world. He gets it right here. He is a
material as well as a spiritual gainer the moment he enters the
church door. Everybody has confidence in the man who is a
churchgoer. A man may be clever, powerful, wealthv and influ-
ential, but he does not enjoy the complete respect of the com-
munity if he fails in his duty to his church.
