The ELECTRIC BLANKET, which has just recently been perfected, is worth
ounces of prevention in fighting the "flu".
It is entirely within the range of possibility that this invention may be the means of saving the lives of many
"flu" victims, by keeping them at a proper temperature at all hours while in bed or it may keep those who are now
well from getting the "flu" by preventing them from catching cold at night, which is very apt to happen in this
changeable weather. '
We will be pleased to mail you a pamphlet fully descriptive of the blanket upon receipt of your request.
might almost imagine ttiat no war was
being waged. This was emphatically
not the cans in 1918. War in many of
its grim phases was brought home to
us iby tho sending of two million men
abroad and tho gathering of anomor
two million in American camps by the
voting by conirross of an army without
limit, by tho stripping of our industries
of it a best men, toy the extension of tlio
draft ages to include all maleg from
eighteen to forty five, by tho opera
tions of tho Gorman submarine murder
ers on our coaHt, by tho growing lists
of casualties, and 'by the mounting up
of war costs to almost unbelievable
heights, in 191H, too, all the early de
lusions as to tbe causes and naturi of
tho war wero dissipated, ami its true
character aa n life and death straggle
Df l:oeiicy and civilization against all
th'.t was abhorrent and decadent be
come .manifest. That the sending over
of our armies to Franco was not mere
ly n question of numbers curried but
also of quality of fighting material
sent, was proved by tho splendid work
of our sl ildiers, who( our friends tho al
lies admit, arrived just in time to turn
the scale of the. conflict and to fcjook
tho way of the Germans to the channel
ports and to Paris, and later, in con
junction with our allies, under the bu
preme command mf the brilliant IVcnch
Marshal Fcch, broke the Herman lines,
expelled the invader from northern
France and from Uolginm, and finnllys
by the terms of the armistice asked
for :by tho beaten foe, established the
allied line far within the enemies' bor
der, constituting a new "Watch on the
dihine" ponding a final peace settle
ment, It will probably bo tho verdict
of history that lour full strength had
not yet been put forth when the col
lnpse of the boasted nfficient Teutonic
combination was registered in the Gor
man surrender and revolt and the fin
al abdication of pewer bt the self
styled War Ijerd and his confederates.
Thiia Ihis latest and greatest crusade
was won, peace returned to the earth,
and the preparations tor the conference
at Versaillr gave peculiar emphasis
to the t'hristia season and were
fraught with favorable aiigurie for
the ushering into the world of a tru
ly Happy New If car. " ,
Over Four Years of War Ended
With tho great war apparently end

four years and nearly four month ad

bo said that whilo our financial costs
have focca great, perhaps $22,000,000,

eyes, was slight compared with either
those of ny of our foes or of our al
lies. Feeding Our Allies
In tho work of feeding cur allies, a
really marvelous plan of substitution ot
other cereals for wheat was first .-.jc-easary
in 1918, and bo 'bring this about,
tho 5 '4 to 0 bushels por capitiv ef do
nicstin consumption at tho i.utse; was
cut down to below throo bushels. 'hc
average- for the entire yonr was not
over four bushel, and whoreas at the
outset of tho cereal year 1918 a total
export of only 40,000,000 bushels was
estimated as possible from our defi
cient 1917 harvest, wo actually ship
ped 1:10,000,000 bushels without appar
nt injury to our own needs.
Looking Fo rward

Portland Railway, Light & Power
to tho question of the future price
and the disposition of unneeded war
supplies, there seems to :bo no good rea
son for taking counsel of our fears as
to what is to happen after peace terms
are signed. Much weighty talk of prob
lems to be solved' appears in the pa
pers, but unless all past experience is
at. fault, most of the problems arising
are very similar to thos-e encountered
in othor periods of readjustment fol
lowing widespread hostilities. If the
result had boon different and Germany
had won, thero might have tooen good
reasons for a vast deal of worry. But
civilization has won, tho rattling sword
the shining armor and other "proper
ties" of tlio Berlin showman, as Har
den called him, have been relegated to
the scrap pile, and Buropo no longer
has to listen with bated breath to the
routings of people who in tho past had
made muider and robbery profitable
whilo .masquerading under tho wohipnr
atively respectable name of war. We
ido not believe tho millennium has
come, or that wo hnvc seen our last
war, but something like what the poet
Tennyson termed a "Parliament of Na
tions" is about to meet, and under the
agreemeuts likely to bo evolved there
from, the world should bo a safer place
to live and do ibusiuess in.
We believe that a bie notontial de
mand for goods racists, at a price, and
it is known that there is and will bo a
tremendous demand for food products
from- Europe, while materials for cloth
ing and for shelter and implements of
agriculture will probably bo badly need
ed. The United Stato having suffered
the least of all the belligerents should
be iu a position to supply these de
mands, as we have a good share of tho
food and the raw materials which the
world needs, and on n.-o.tte iias cer
tainly not suffered at tho hands of the
two million men who havo represented
uj in Europe. We also have what we
hitherto liuked-a big merchant ma
rine capable of serving oar importers
and exporters, and our loans to allies
and neutrals have given 11s a financial
footing iu the .markets of the world of
which our bunkers probably will not
be slow to take advantage. If it i nec
essary to finance our customers thru
out the world to enri lo u to sell goods
we can dot it, becauso wo financed Eu
rope when the possibility xf returns
was not tiear'y so good as new. We also
havo a larger eapacity for output and
certainly greater adaptability for cater
ing to foreign demands, whether of"
peace or war. In fact, wo have reached
in a few short years a positron that it
t-oV tint Britaii, th business nation
par excellence, g-"neration to achieve.
Feors of un -m-lovment of the masses
V"ni'd bo flonsidered with the known
fact in view that immigration; which
should have sdT-n ns 5 000,000 person
in th past four yarn, has b-en almcst

in the full stress of war.
Lower prices may como, not all of
them at once, by tho way, and may
delay but should hot radically inter
fere with the processes of proper re
adjustment. While war inflation may
have been responsible for some of tho
presont high prices, the IntteT in the
last analysis merely spell scarcity,
which it should be our work to remove,
and in removing make ibiiBiness, friends
who will stick and customers who will
come again. No headlone break in do
mestic prices seems probable with the
purchasing power of our peoplo o

large perhaps, but promising to be li

Colonel Timothy M. Williams, pres

and subwav lines, said the company did
not resist tho bankruptcy compiaiu. jii
ed againt it by tho Wcstinghouse Elec

The company was obliged to meot obli
gctions of $2,000,000, he said, and this
would have been impossible if plans

work had been carried out. Williams
asserted that "stationary fares and ris
ing costs" had impaired the credit of

Public Service Commissioner Whit

wreck in which 90 passengers were kill

fur millions and the indictment of iWl
