Phone Main 81. FIRST HARBINGERS OF PEACE There were two stories came over the wires yesterday, and for that matter over the cables, for they came from; Europe, that are suggestive. One is ah appeal issued by the English bankers asking all Englishmen to "see that the production and consump tion of non essentials is halted, to husband their resources and incomes, and aid in every way in helping England raise" the gigantic sum of $9,000,000,000." The appeal says that it is only in such a manner that England can hope to mobilize this vast credit and without this the war cannot be carried to a successful termination. It calls attention to the fact that this sum will be needed to support the great army of new men and pay for the vast quantities of munitions and arms being manufac tured tor England in all parts 01 the world. The other is a statement made by Dr. Karl Helfferich, director of Germany's finances, who declared near the beginning of the war that Germany would never be called upon to pay war taxes because her enemies would be forced to pay indemnities that would settle all Germany's outlay in prosecuting the war. He now, in an address be fore the reichstag this week, admits that when the war is over, "in spite of possible indemnities, the taxes will be collossal." This statement is, as it were, the first harbinger of peace. So long as Germany thought or hoped her enemies would be forced to pay the cost of the struggle, she had something to encourage her in its vigorous prosecution. With this hope gone, and a realization that the longer the war lasted the greater the bill for herself as well as her enemies, self interest will impel her to desire peace. The load of debt she will have to carry now is stagger ing, as it is with all the other parties to the war; but with the prospect of this being doubled; with the war tax in effect on the top of the heroic sacrifices the nation has made both in men and lives; the masses will make the demand for peace so strong that all the nations will have to heed it. Should the war end at once England, France, Germany and Russia would have a debt running up into the billions and Austria would be no better as to her per capita debt, while Belgium and Serbia would be both bankrupt and desolate. When "God Save the King" and "Hoch der Kaiser," sentiment and glory, are so far set aside as to allow the situation to be considered from its financial viewpoint, peace will be within hailing distance, and the two state ments made above are an indication that this has, or is, about to occur. foreigner has trouble in learning our language. Imagine if you can the bewilderment of the Frenchman who was wrestling with the conjugation of the verb "go." Some wag had written out the present tense for him: "I go, thou startest, he departs, we cut stick, you lay tracks, they absquatulate or skedaddle." He puzzled over it a while and finally ventured the criticism, "She is vary irregular language," and he was right. The health officials of Wisconsin having called atten tion to the life prolonging effects of a diet of limburger cheese, it is suggested by Addison Bennett that another department be started in the public schools for the pur pose of teaching young America how to eat limburger with the least offense to the balance of the community. It is possible that the spell it would create would not be any worse than the average school produces. Colonel Roosevelt's wealth is estimated at about one million dollars. Not a small sum to be sure but still hardly justifying his having a seat at that dinner where 15 of the guests represented a billion dollars. At the same time the amount would appear to shut him out from being the representative of the dinner bucket brigade. SAYS I BECOME Hopes Every Man and Woman Adopts This Splendid Morning Habit Senator Tillman is developing socialism, but is taking it in small doses. He proposes to confiscate all incomes of over $1,000,000 a year. If Ben will make the limit $2,000,000 so as to make the newspaper men all safe he will get stronger support irom the press. Mayor Thompson of Chicago says he is going to clean up that city "if it takes his life." But then if it takes his life, how can he clean up the city? Now if he would re solve to clean up the village before he is snuffed out there might be something doing. Percy E. Davis, of Albany, asks the Oregonian for the addresses of some of the powder manufacturing firms of the United States. Better watch our Percy, or you will be traveling the Boy-ed, Van Papen route. The dispatches yesterday told of the president dictat ing for an hour or two to his stenographer. The story would have proved much more startling if it had stated he was dictating to his wife. Villa is still somewhat ubiquitous, but is not maintain ing his reputation, being in only three places yesterday. Maybe the Christmas shopping hung him up, he having forgotten to "shop early." ingkhum Walt Mafon mm Horse meat mav be "sweet and palatable and good as any," as some one calls it but somehow it seems too much" like cannibalism. The horse approaches more nearly thej human in his intelligence than any other animal, and in deed is man's best and most faithful friend. Day after day throughout his life he works from early morn until night for his master, patiently and faithfully; and all that he" gets for this life of service and toil is his food, and a shelter sometimes. It is revolting to think of accepting the faithful service of a horse all his days, and when he is old and no longer able to work, sending him to the -shambles and his flesh to the stew kettle. The cannibal warrior who gladly devours his enemy killed in battle, seems a brute indeed to civilized man, but he certainly in devour ing his enemy does not have as a sauce for the feast the basest ingratitude. He does not "live off' his friends." The English language is surely full of puzzles, the same combination of words expressing two or more mean ings. A dispatch from Berlin today says: "Dr. Helf ferich, Imperial secretary of the treasury, is the only one of the kaiser's ministers of state who wears his hair clip ped like a soldier at the front." Now does that mean that he has his hair clipped like a soldier who is at the front, or docs it intend conveying the idea that he wears his hair clipped in front, like a soldier? No wonder the ' t TTTTTTTT'TfTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTr Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling . nervous, despondent, worried; somo days headachy, dull and unstrung; somo days really incapaci tated by illness. If wa all would practice inside-bathing, what a gratifying chnngo would take place, instead of thausuuds of finlf-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of hnppy, healthy, rosy cheeked people everywhere. The reit' son is that the human system does not rid itself each day of nil the waste which it accumulates under our pres ent mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments mid forms ptomaine-like poisons which are absorbed into the blood. .lust as necessary ns it is to clean' the ashes from the furnace each day, before the tire will bum bright and hot, bo we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous day's accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are advised to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harm less means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible ninteriul, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten ing and purifying the entire nlimen- t i i.'p .-i ' wtiy ctllltu uuluiu smiling inme i.uuu into the stomach. Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attneks, ncid stomach, nervous days and sleepless nights have become real cranks about tho morning inside-bath. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store, but is sufficient. to demonstrate to anyone, its cleansing, sweetening and freshen ing effect upon the system. Question That "Tommy" . Asked King to Answer (By the United. Press.) London, Dec. 1 (By mail.) A touch of wartime humor at the expense of King George leaked through from Sand liughnm today. It was during the king's recent visit to his country place. Unattended, one evening at dusk, the king went for u short stroll through the grounds." He was soon interrupted by a peremptory "Irult!" "Who goes there?" demanded a sen try. There was no reply. The sentry repented his challenge, sternly. "Who goes there!" he thundered. "The king," meekly answered tho monarch. "Well, why in the hell didn't vou say so," blurted tho soldier. And thee ho tried to apologize. But the king was too prompt. Ignoring the offered apol ogy, he quickly and smilingly commend ed the Tommy for his vigilance. A Merry Xmas TO ALL THE PEOPLE OF SALEM AND VICINITY s t I :: f jSJOfifiP ALKM COMMERCIAL CLUU EARLY SHOPPING I've done my Christmas shopping early, I've bought my aunt some candied fruit, my niece a doll with tresses curly, my Uncle James a diving suit. I've laid in dood dads by the dozen, and have them safely stored away, so every niece and aunt and cousin will have a present Christmas Day. I feel that I have done my duty, in buying ere the rush begins, and life now seems a thing of beauty, inspiring peace and blissful grins. When others, in the hurly-burly, are jostling, strenuous and worn, I'll say, "I did my shopping early, and I can watch these people mourn; oh, I can watch them strug gling, sweating, with grief and anger in rrimt ovpo warrVi nil fViPiv fnw onrl Hioi c ii.- J Z J Vet I rrVuJ Ju 1 wos Prt of the records of the fretting, and pat myself for being wise." The peace that j case had been lost, and much delay passeth understanding, the early shopper always wins;Jwa3 tho'cl'y m"1"""'- he shops in peace, his presents landing, before the fear- some rush begins.
