While lt is true that some of these papers recoenlse their obligations to the gov ernment under which they exist and wiich afford them protection, it is also true that many or them are thoroughly dlaloyal and are doing everything they can to hinder the ad ministration's conduct of the war. The publishers of theae paper are stand ing close to the treason sone, and it is time to ahow them up. They have wilfully misrepresented the attitude of this government since the begin nlng of the war, and even since our entrance into the struggle, they have done much to spread the germs of treason and discontent. The war can not be won If theae henchmen of the kaiser are permitted to pursue their willful course and nothing will bring them to quicker account than a thor ough understanding of their methods a Only a small percentage of our peo ple can read German, so lt behooves us to require these publishers to, print their news and editorials In English. If this ls done, all of us can read what ls printed and public sentiment will not long tolerate false news about the war and misrepresentations aa to our aims and policies. That portion of the German language press that has ahown Itself patriotic ls repre sentative of the bulk of our German born population, but the other portion the traitors and hirelings of the kaiser la the one that will be brought to account if this bill becomes a law. These disloyal publishers represent a small but active minority a most dangerous group of our population. We waste time and and effort worrying about the Russian situation when we have a greater menace right here at home. If we are to win this war we must put our own house in order be fore we offer gratuitous advice to the allies. Our forces will eventually I triumph over Pruesianism, but we must pursue a policy that will give Prus slanlsm no quarter In thla country. It must be wiped out exterminated. It ls time for patriotic action and de termination, not cowardice. The bill reads as follows: 6ectlon 1. That from and after the approval of this act the use of the United States mails shall be forbidden to any and all newspapers, magazines and periodicals published in whole or In part in the language of any country with which the United States Is at war. or any ally of such country, un less the publisher of such newspaper, magazine or periodical shall cause parallel columns to be printed in Eng lish, which parallel columns shall con tain true and correct English transla tions of any and all news and editorial matter printed In the language of the country with which the United States ls at war, or the ally of such country. as the case may be. Section 2.

No one should stay In until he feels chilly. lie should leave the water while he is still warm and glowing. Chilling by the air ls as harmful as chilling by the water. Sitting for a long time in a boat, in a wet bathing suit, or on the shore, may produce' harmful re sults. Feeble persona may bear one plunge advantageously but not be able to stay in the water any considerable length of time without injury. a a e If anyone is a sufferer from attacks of giddinesa or faintness or from pal pitation and other feelings of discom fort at the heart, he should not bathe in cold water without first consulting a doctor. In fact, every aea or lake bather should at least have his heart, arteries and kidneys examined before entering on a season of cold water bathing. Many so-called drownings are in reality cases of heart failure. Many weak kidneys suffer from the cold and exposure of aea or lake bathing and acute kidney disease may be brought on by radical exposure In this "way. Wrong habita of bathing may bring about lassitude, 'sleepiness, loss of ap petite, also nausea. Indigestion, colio and diarrhea. They sometimes result in bronchitis, earache, nose bleed and rheumatic pains, also giddiness, paina in the loins and a sense of choking and suffocation. Sea bathing is an excellent measure for the health when properly employed by those who bear lt well. Besides the benefits of the pleaaul-e and exhilira tion, there are those from the muscular exercise, struggling with the waves, which gently massag the body, and the tonic of the cold water. In the ocean, there are also the benefits of the salt, which is mildly stimulating to the skin surface. Tomorrow: sla." sympathy with the home-canning movement, which bids fair to diminish considerably for the time being the profits of his own business, aaya Girard in the Philadelphia Ledger. He feels, however, that many an amateur In a craft that calls for no small degree of applied science and sleight-of-hand is likely to realixe before long a greater or l.-ss waste of time, money and effort, and return to the easier way of taking canned and bottled preserves from tho grocera shelves. "Take the case of the wife of a friend of mine," he said. 'Some kind friend gave her a basket of upple and a basket of plums. Her conni-lem-. pricked her to atand all day over the range hersel preserving them. "When the evening came ahe was still at work, and, flushed and per spiring, she explained to her husband that she hadn"t had time all day even to fix her hair. "He appreciated her effort, but his candid advice to her was that she'd have saved herself a lot of bother if shed taken the stuff straight from the store." Sure, He's All Right Mary's "young man" was at the front. After a whilo Mary seemed rather glum. "Doesn't he write," asked her mistress. "Oh, yes! he writes twice a week!" " What's the matter then?" 'Well, miss, it's like this: I don't think he's as brave as the others7" "Why?" "Because he never seems to get wounded, and I think he must get behind some of the others." A fortnight later Mary appeared, all emiles. "lie's been wounded, miss, so I'm sure he's all right!"

When Uncle Sam Begins .Our Uncle Sam's a husky lad, The liberty that he has had Haa made him grow up big and strong. And made, his arms and logs grow long. The freedom makes his chest expand And brings new blood from' every land. Serene above the earth's alarms He stands erect with folded arms. He's not inclined to pick a scrap. And he will stand for many a rap., dood naturedly for quite a Bpell, But when he's mad lie fights like . well You'll see what he can do alright When Uncle Sam begins to fight. Felix O'Neill. The Crnx He's never really been keen on sol diering, says London Opinion. He's only gone into the army be cause he couldn't very well avoid it. But liftherto he had gone through with it without making a conspicuous ass of himself. Now, however, that the moment was at hand, the moment that would really test him he knew himself for a coward. He felt a worm, a Jelly fish, no man he felt, in fact, a conglomeration of all the emotions that analytical novel ists, depicting their Iferoes in blue, funk, had described at length In the days before there was a paper shortage. And the earth refused to open and swallow him. And even the opportunity of running away was denied Mm, for the brutal sergeant he'd always dlsllke.1 that particular sergeant had set him in front of the first rank inside the hol low square and was hunkily whisper ing in his ear: "Now, m lad.

British View of Wilson From tbe fubllc Perhaps the best substitute for a historical perspective on men and events of our times ls the perspective of distance. .Frank Smith is an out standing figure among British demo crats. He Is a labor leader, an agi tator and a politician of the best sort. In a letter to one of the editors of the Public, written on July 4 at London, he says: "You will be glad to know that every, utterance of Wilson is fol lowed here both closely and sympa thetically. His influence is remark able. Eiveryone feela he la a 'straight' man, and even when he goaa to war la no 'Jingo.' I don't think any American leader, since Lincoln, has ever gripped the imagination of .Britain as Wilson haa done. He aeema to have brought to many timid folk a feeling of se curity, not only as regards the terrible business now going on, but when peace shall be possible. Truly, with the hour came the man." Good Work rrom tbe txw Aug elea Times A local police Judge has announced his Intention of fining speeders to the limit of the law 'and he has already begun the good work, much to the re gret of several fast drivers who have found themselves in bia court.' Any man Is likely to break the speed limit once through ignorance or thought lessness; a second notation is a, sign of pure carelessness, and the driver deserves both fine and imprisonment; but1 a third offense so closely resem bles criminal Intent that the revoca tion of the offender's license would be a punishment none too heavy.
