Peace in surance based on a world league or federation, to which the nations shall have1 delegated such authority as will enable the organization to enforce peace internationally, was urged today by Darwin P. Klngsley, president of the New York Life Insurance Company, at the opening session of the World's Insurance Congress. In the absence of -any definite steps to form an adequate peace league or federation. Mr. Kingsley deplored un preparedness against war on the part of the United States, saying "we are infinitely stupid" in this regard. Against the methods which resulted in the existing European war, insur ance has always been a warning and a protest and has always suggested remedy, said Mr. Kingsley. "It has been a warning and a protest because it has taught the insufficiency of the unit of anything, whether that unit be a man or a business or a nation," he said. War Regarded as Inevitable. The European struggle, said Mr. Kingsley, was inevitable unless radical reorganization of international rela tions were agreed to, unless some plan of international insurance could be es-" tab li shed, he asserted. "The Germans saw the significance of the doctrine of sovereignty in the time of the great Frederick and they began to get ready," Mr. Kingsley said. "The other European natoins did. not see the true significance of the situa tion and prepared only half-heartedly for a struggle upon which they never really expected to enter. "We have been lucky for 100 years because nothing has disturbed our dreaming, but we are infinitely stupid, now that we realize the brutal possi bilities of present-day civilization in continuing conditions fraught with such hideous consequences." Feileratlon Plan Espoused. There are two types of international peace insurance one already estab lished, the other to be established said Mr. Kingsley. The first is based on might, he said, expressed generally in a great standing army and navy. This was called the European plan. The league or federation Mr. Kings- ley called the American plan. "Be lieving that the time has come for the world to abandon the European plan, and believing that in our own Federal Government we have a model for the governments of the world, we have no very serious steps to establish an ade quate league or federation of nations, while our fate is most uncertain," he said. "The I'nited States, even more than the nations opposing Germany, has neither lived up to the doctrine of sovereignty or the doctrine of human brotherhood."

FLORY, 72, DIES Resident of Washunjjton for llfty Years Passes at Tacoma. TACOMA. Wash.. Oct. 4. (Special.) Abram P. Flory, aged 72, a resident of Washington nearly 50 years, died to day at his home here. He was a native of Virginia ad was born in 1843, cross ing the plains and settling in Oregon when he was 21. He came to Wash ington and settled on a homestead in Steilacoom in 1873. He married Miss Maggie Ieedy in Lane County, , Oregon, in February, 1S72. Besides his wife, six children survive. HEW DANGERS OF CONSTIPATION A recent issue of the New York Times ays : "Recent researches of Prof. Metchnflcoff ard others have led doctors to suppose that many conditions of chronic ill health, nervous debility, rheumatism and other disorders are due to poisoning set up by unhealthy conditions in the Large Intes tine, and it has even been suggested that the lowering of the vitality resulting from such poisoning is favorable to the develop ment of Cancer and Tuberculosis. "At Guy's Hospital Sir William Arbuth not Lane decided on the heroic plan of re moving the diseased organ. A child who appeared in the nnal stage of what waa believed to be an incurable form of tuber cular joint disease was operated on. The Lower Intestine, with the exception of nine inches, was removed, and the portion left was joined to the Smaller Intestine, "The result was astonishing. In a week's time the internal organs resumed all their normal functions, and in a few weeks the patient was apparently in perfect health The Lower Intestine can never get into this condition if Internal Baths are used. The '. B. L. Cascade" cleanses the Lower Intestine its entire length thoroughly with pure warm water and remotes all this poi sonous waste which is such a menace to health. It is Nature's own cure for Constipation, and is now being used by over 300, GuO Americans with great success. The "J. B.

Ask ior jU I Appeal to Your Patriotism" How many times has each of us heard this appeal from a flag-draped platform by some orator In the throes of an epoch-making speech in favor of Oregon Industry? And after this soul-stirring imitation of Uaniel Webster's best, we have gone home to try and forget all about Ore gon Industry in general and our pat riotism in particular. Still, it can and will "be done if we act now to make the year 1916 known in history as the one in which this sec tion was transformed from a one-sided merchandising chain of cities to a bal anced, rounded commercial and manufacturing- center. There was never a better time to make the stand. The home industries are appealing to your patriotism and pride, and they are appealing to it from the dollars and cents standpoint.

M Disease is failure, to live properly Every thought every movement every nerve thrill every heart beat even the secretive and mysterious activities of the skin, blood, stomach, liver and heart are the result of the food we eat. The purpose of food is to rebuild the constantly wasting body, and to prolong life, energy and effi ciency. The inability to properly digest simple food results in headache, biliousness, nerve and stomach disorders and general indications of weakened vitality. The waste from imperfectly digested and non assimilated food creates poisons in the intestines, which are absorbed by the blood and gradually reach all the vital organs, resulting in serious deteri oration of the human system. The elimination of these poisons by Intesti-Fermin Tablets tends to accomplish increased vitality and exemption from premature senility, constant ill health and the petty ailments of advancing y ears. Intesti-Fermin Tablets contain a hijjh concentration of the active principle which has been scientifically proven partly responsible for the extreme age attained by the Bulgarians frequently 125 years. They act directly against the poisonous microbes that bring on auto-intoxication, tend to prevent the gradual slowing down of the human system, add zest to your life and efficiency to your work. Intesti-Fermin Tablets are not a drug, but rather a food guard pro duct in highly concentrated form. $ 1 XMJ per bottle a week's treatment ask for it today THE HUNTLEY DRUG COMPANY PORTLAND, OREGON Call today for copy of "Premature Old Age Its Cause and Pre-' vention."
