DOVE OF PEACE DANGERS -—The Amer
wan people are for peace with the world and for
world peace, and there is widespread approval of
the good start that has been made at the armament
conference in \Washington.
It is to be hoped that nothing will spring up
out of the darkness which we call future, to inter
rupt the development of the movement for peace
and good will. But let let us not forget that there
ace clouds that may expand in an uncomfortable
way. Japan finding America and England a unit
for limited armament, must make a show of agree
ment. But Japan is as militaristic as Germany was.
Her leaders arc warriors by instinct and inheri
tance and her people—in the mass-—are willing
followers of those leaders,
Let’s come nearer home. The treaty at Paris
was agreed to without reckoning with Congress
which had the final say. Already people are hegin
nig to say that the power of deciding on what
our navy shall be is vested by the constitution in
Congress and not in the administrators of govern
ment. It is declared that neither our armament
delegates nor our state department can make any
agreement with foreign countries as to the size of
cur navy should be; nor can they carry out any
promise as to the scrapping of ships.
There has been one distressing example of (he
results of flaunting congress. Tt is probable that
m view of what has passed, statesmen will avoid
another such squabble. We hope there will 'be no
ssuabble over “peace on carth.”
THE AFTER EFFECTS OF WAR--11i traci
end ot Vicur~ ant Colanel Whittlesey, noted here
of the * ont Battasion,” who is supn ,sed ‘o have
jumped over ot £ emoa steamer enceute to Ci
ba, suggests how heavy a burden many of the ex
soldiers are carrving as the result of their war ex
perience. Col Whittlesey hada very sensitive na
ture, and the horrors of war are supposed to have
preyed upon his mind.
Some people may have supposed that when the
soldiers who had been under fire heard the joyful
news of armistice day, they woultl be ready to re
sume normal life again just as they left it. But
for a lot of them, the horror of war had been too
deeply seared into their souls. They can not be
the same men yet, and some will never he,
A man with a calm and philosophical tempera
ment might go through this awful hell, and yet
come out none the worse. But anyone with a sen
sitive and imaginative nature would not pass thru
the experience so lightly. Those sights and the
gounds of horror would haunt his mind. In many
cases sesere nervous strain has persisted and the
men having had this experience find themselves
in constant mental anguish.
The existence of many men in this condition
should lead the government to do its utmost to sce
that the cases of shell shock and other similar trou
oles get attention from the most skilled specialists.
The friends of men who underwent these severe
strains should not feel disheartened if their prog
ress scems slow. Usually nature will heal their
exhausted nerves. The rest of us who were far from
the line of battle have no conception of what such
men have borne for us. Their sacrifice and mental
suffering represent.a great sacrifice that their fel
low countrymen should never forget.
KEEPING TO THE RIGHT—Many automobile
accidents result from failure to keep to the right
hand side of the road. A lot of people get into
trouble when they try to pass another car near
a curve- Before they get ahead of the other ma
chine, a third one comes around the curve in the
opposite direction and a smash-up often oceur.s
On the paved roads where center lines have
been marked on curves, the painted line is a sharp
reminder to every carcless driver to stay where he
belongs. The scheme of placing an ‘island’ or ‘si
lent policeman’ in the center of curves also tends
to tame speeders. Visible warnings influence a
many reckless drivers who forget all good counsels
when they get behind the steering wheel.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION—The BREAK
DOWN OF MONEY--It was predicted two years
ago that the enormous waste of war in Eurupe
would lead to an unprecedented buying movement
of American products, to replace these losses. But
the breakdown of the money standards in Europe
nas impeded such purchases. In Russia and Ger
many the money is nearly valueless. In gther coun
tries it ic so depreciated that those people can not
buy American products that they are in desperate
leed of,
It is possible to do business without money, by
the barter of primitive times. But it is terribly awk
ward. The producer who made goods on that ba
«is, would never know whether or not the stuff
"e got in exchange could be disposed of for a val
e equal to the cost of his merchandise. Business
would consequently be greatly restricted. And
this is just the situation that holds up trade with
all European countries,
Our ('nuntry has been slow in cooperating with
an effort to create a stable rate of exchange. Take
the case of some industry in Furope that could
operate if it could buy Asaerican raw materials,
it can‘t buy them today owing to depreciated mq
ney. But if that industry will agree to deliver
toe finished product to this country it should be
possible to sell them the raw materials on credit.
and take the finished product in return when it is
made, deducting the value of the advance made in
the form of raw materials. Thus idle men are set
to work, and a market provided for American pro
dacts. . No one industry of course can do that. It
has to be arranged on a big scale by powerful fi
nancial interests. Business men have been slow
to go into such projects fearing that money inves
ted in such credits would be lost.
But a great deal has been lost already as the re
sult of idle workers and lack of markets for our
products. It would seem a far sighted policy to do
more in this line of credit extension fo promote
busitess with Europe
NOVEL BOOSTING CAMPAIGN The
Greensboro, N. C. Chamber of Commerce will have
1) be awared the chief trophy for a novel scheme
for increasing the membership of of a business as
sociation, ‘
This organization has a volunteer force of can
vassers for membership, cach one of whom is des
i>nated as an Indian and provided with a card
board tomahawk. One scalp (scecuring one mem
ber) makes him a warrior. Two scalps makes a
I -ave, five scalps.makes a medicine man, 15 con
stitute him a chief, and 25 makes him a sachem.
The Indian securing the greatest number of
s alps will be made the big chief. Fach member
ecelves an insurance policy which reads “An as
srance of continued prosperity in the affairs of
Gireensboro.””
The campaign ended on December 9th, when a
creat scalp dance and harvest festival was held.
Fvery Indian brought his squaw and from among
these an Indian princess was elected, each Indian
Qiving a vote for each scalp secured by him.
This is a scheme caleulated to put a little pep
into a business organization. It might wake up
our fellows here in Fitzgerald to put over some
ting of this kind.
CHRISTMAS TOYS—An enormous amount of
money has always been spent on Christmas tovs
Or the children, and it is the natural expression of
iove for the little ones and enjoyment of their
happiness. But sometimes” the simple toy gives
more real satisfaction than the costly one,
Many mechanical toys used to be sold that e e
pooriy made. They were elaborate and handsom.
aud the children would look at them open moathed
for a few Jays until they refused to work A toy
of that kimd does not help a child to develop The
children should be taught to preserve their tovs,
but - they are so made that they go to pieces in a
fe wdays. the youngster has no incertive to care
for them. Toys are very useful when they sive
@ child the opportunity fo engage in some health
fu' sport, or game that develops his initiative. or
when they encourage bim to do something with
his hands. A set of building blocks for instance,
leads him to exercise skill and imagination. Su -
stanual and well made toys that lead a child to do
things for himself, can be a factor in promating
bis devclopment,

Turn Hair Dark
With Sage Tea'
If Mixed with Sulphur It Darkens
So Naturally Nobody
Can Tell
The old-time mixture of Sage lea
ard Sulphur for Jarkening gray,‘
streaked and faded hair is grand
mother’s recipe, and folks are
again using it to keep their hair a
good, even color, which is huite Sen
sible, as we are living in an age when
youthful appearance is of the great
est advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of guth .
the sage and the mussy mix: o
home, All drug stores sell the ready
to use product, improved by the ad
dition of other ingredients, called
“Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound.” It is very popaular, because
nobody can discover it has been ap
plied. Simply moisten your comb or
a soft brush with it, and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, but what de
lights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also pro
duces that soft lustre and appearance
of abundance which is so attractive.

If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Both-‘
ers You, Drink L-ts of Water !
When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with
a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire frinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you
keep your bowels clean, by flushing
them with a mild, harmless salts
waste and stimulates them to their
normal activity. The function of the
kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24!
hours they strain from it 500 grains of
acid and waste, so we can readily un
derstand the vital importance of keep
ing the kidneys active.
Drink lots of water—you can’t
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast each morn
ing for a few days and your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation. -thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which every one
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what became of
your kidney trouble and backache,
