PLAN TOE PEACE IN MEXICO, THE COMMUNICATION hereto appended, which was clipped from the Portland Oregon Journal, la so unwittingly humorous and the writer so unconscious of the fact, that It is worth reproducing as a sample of the working of the human mind, or whatever does duty for It. The writer does not seem to realize that his proposition, reduced to what it stands for, is just that "if the Mexicans would quit fighting, settle their differences and be good, there would bo no war." As a bit of unconscious humor, it is de licious, Here is the Journal correspondent's proposition: "To the editor of the Journal Kindly grant me space in the Journal to express my regret that a plan, which occurred to mo, by which, if it could have been acted upon at the tlmo of Us suggestion, peaca and official order could undoubtedly have been restored in our neighboring country of Mexico within few days, was not applied. "The proposition was for the governors of all the states of Mexico to first agree, by dispatch, to unite in restoring peace. Then call their representative assemblies and secure their consent and aid. Having secured this absolutely nocesHary support, the governors should nave hold a convention, or consulta tion, by correspondence, and ngrecd to call an armistice of all bolligoront forces until an election could be held and a president and proper representatives of all the states for the goneral government assemblies clectod. The governors should have agreed that they would furnish duo protection and pardon to all belligerents who obeyed their united order for a halt until after a general oloction, also declaring thoir united purpose to support and dofend the presi dent and the representatives then elocted by the people, without regard to any contending factions, except insofar as tliolr present positions might aid or fa cilitate the work of restoring a general government, and holding the nocessnry election for such purpose,' "During this period of peace a vlgirous missionary work should have been carried on by tho ministers of all the churches, aided and supported by the governors and army officers, all the belligerent armies meantime being brought together and trained in thoir duties to thoir country and tho people as thoir protectors, and in tho method of using the highest up-to-date army efficiency in fulfilling this extremely obvious duty, "Each Btato government cpuld also have a good supply of munitions. The quantity which each should hold could bo decided by the governor's council. "A noat squad of tho most truly loyul people could bo trained t tho capi tal of each s(nto to guard the requisite supplies, as these are assembled. "Although contending with a series of difficult! during the Inst summer, tho writer outlined tho abovo plau, but so far haB not been ablo to socure that attention which such a plain, simple, yet obviously practical plan calls for. "The altogether unnecessary suffering of tho people in the war zones of that country fairly makes my heart blood ' "Hoping that some measures will be taken at an early date by tho state Rdvcrnment In Moxico to secure settled conditions, with the peace and plenty it would bring, I remain a hopeful and staunch friend of our neighboring repub lic. The course outlined would create a precedent for all future settlement of similar difficulties in Mexico." SHOULD KNOW AND GIVES Eugenic Epigrams by Lady Cook.

(Written for the UiUted Pri) New York, Dec 17, Wo have been taught for ages to disregard our bodies, as thing vile ami umilcnn by nnture. A general Ignorance of them has in tho )vnt times been strongly encouraged, and is still a reproach to our clvilira lion. Any youth or girl attempting to learn the mysteries of their physique would bo accounted forward or indel icate and s study of their real origin would be held as grossly indecent. Yet mnn is tho most beautifully and most wonderful piece of animal mech anism In all nature -most worthy and most profitable of study. All his fac ulties and powers, his thoughts and emotions, are governed by tho structure and state of his body. It should be his duty, then, to know all ho can about It, as early as possible. This should form a chief part of the education of every child according to Its age Bnd capacity, and enter into tho curriculum of every school. Physiological works should be studied aa well as tho bible, because of their greater utility. In our old family bible there is a pic ture of Eve rising as a complete and mature woman out of tho side of a man, as he reclines In sleep. We have seen the same monstrous Idea similarly treated elsewhere. Children may view these fnlso delineations without hesi tation because they are sanctioned by "authorities," but were a mother in parturition exhibited to the young even in tho most proper manner It would be pounced upon by the police. The theological fable Is preferred to the physiological fact. Our backward ness in this Is partly due to the medical profession member of which may not want trade secret to be too frwly di vulged to "outsiders." The general teaching that we are conceived in sin and born in iniquity is as false as it is blasphemous, and an insult to every parent. To tell sober people that a pure minded couple are defiled by their own connubial embraces, is at once to vilify nature and its author. I say to parents, do not believe in this disgust ing doctrine. Our young men and young women are imperfectly instructed if instructed at all. Countless thousands are grossly ig norant of the most elementary circunv stances pertaining to married life even after they have chosen their mate. The sexual side of our being has not been so stigmatized that our other natural appetite have shared in its degrada tion. We boast of our love or art, lit erature, science, but are ashamed of our bodily organs and functions, and shun the knowledge of our own physiology. These beautiful structures, which it should be our pride to improve and pre serve untainted, are accounted vile and not to be discussed. The nauseous "pur ity" which produces all this should be scouted as criminally filthy, and reck lessly foolish. We should then, as propagators of the race, take the only course and teach our children what is their birthright to know and not give them the opportun ity to learn it from the whisperings of older and evil companions, in the street corners and in the cloak rooma For the od HOOD'S 8ARSAPARILLA pot. aessea the extracted value of the best Vegetable remedies pre scribed by leading phytioians.

Generals Ale shire and Mclntyre and Admiral How ard yesterday afternoon submitted to Secretaries Garrison and Daniels, of the war and navy departments their re port concerning the Carabao society banquet into which, because he consid ered that the entertainment included features satirizing his Philippine policy President Wilson demanded an invest.i-gation. The report expressed no regret at the official criticism of the entertainment nor for President Wilson's action in re tiring from membership in the society. Jt did, however, express " the deep est Tegret at criticism in the press" and denied that an advance account of the banquet was given to the newspapers in which it was stated that details pf the program "were designed to show lack of sympathy with recent develop ments and tendencies in the Philippine government." ji LADD & BUSH, Bankers I TAN1ACT A OlNintAJL BANKING EUBINE1S.

IH SAGE TEA Grandma Kept Her Locia Dark, Glossy and Thick With a Simple Mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur. The old-timo mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grandmother's treat-! mcnt, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensiblo, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the greatest advantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product called "Wyoth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular because no body can discover it has been applied, i 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 disap-! pears, but what dolighta the ladies with Wyeth's 8age and Sulphur is that, be sides beautifully darkening the hair af-. tor a few applications, it also produces' that Soft lustre m1 nrtTtnaciimnA nfl abundance which is so attractive; be sides, prevents dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair.
