These facts should be pondered by
th<> well-meaning men who always

righteousness, are men of good intel

need seriously to consider the facts,

What befell Antwerp and Brussels
will surely some day befall New York

many an inland city also if we do not
shake off our supine folly, if we trust
for safety to peace treaties unbacked
by force. At the beginning of last

teacher of n\oraltty make? the plea in
so many words that we ought to fol
low the example of China and de-

must possess the exceedingly small
amount of information necessary in
order to know that nearly half of
China is at prerent under foreign do

Germans and Japanese are battling
on Chinese territory and domineering
as conqueror? over the Chinese In

age under alien rule!
Nor is the folly confined only to
rious great military empires in the
Old World who will pay not one mo
ment’s heed to the most solemn and
binding treaty, if it is to their inter
est to break it. If any one of these
empires, as the result of the present
contest, obtains something approach
ing to a position of complete pre
dominance in the Old World, It is ab
solutely certain that it would pay no
heed whatever to these treaties, if it
desired to better its position in the
New World by taking possession of

who have been crushed by unmerited
disaster, then the movement repre

ago in 1864 in our own country a sim
ilar movement for peace, to be ob
tained by acknowledgment of disun
ion and by the perpetuation of slav
ery, would have represented mischief.
In the present case, however, the mis
chief was confined purely to those
taking part in the movement in an
unworthy spirit; for (like the peace
parades and newspaper peace peti
tions) it was a purely subjective phe
nomenon; it had not the slightest ef
fect of any kind, sort «>r description
upon aify of the combatants abroad
and could not possibly have any ef
fect upon them. It is well for our
own sakes that we should pray sin
cerely and humbly for the peace of
righteousness; but we must guard
Ourselves from any Illusion as to the

One takes a tablet just after the
meal is completed. It is taken ln’o
the mouth like food; is mixed with
the saliva; swallowed moist and par
tially dissolved. It goes into the
stomach and is there mixed with 'he
stomach Juices, which are composed
of acids and alkalies.
A Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablet rein
forces these Juices. It quickly digests
the elements which such weakened
juices can not digest.
After a while the stomach pass 1
the meal partially digested to the in
testines, where it goes through an
other stage of digestion. Here, as in
the stomach, Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab
lets strengthen the juices of digestion
and complete the work of giving :.ne
body the benefit of the meal.
There is nothing harmful in these
tablets. Only natural ingredients,
which the body lacks, are supplied.
In a short time the blood and diges
tive Juices are given the power they
lack. Man can digest any food with
out injury, and the entire health of
the body is increased. Stuart’s Dys
pepsia Tablets are sold wherever
drugs are sold, price 50 cents a box.
Anyone wishing a free trial of these
tablets please address F. A. Stuart
