I CHRISTIANITY HAS FAILED TO END WARS [Continued From First Page.] Wood declared that he also ts of | Quaker stock, thus precluding the pos- i sibility of the other speaker gaining a i point on that score. David E. Tracy introduced the j speakers, who In turn wasted no words ! in launching into their subject. Mr. Wood divided the padllsts Into three classes, the uninformed, the fanatics and those of the Quaker faith. He j showed how history proves the neces- | slty for preparedness and declared j Christianity a complete failure as a j preventative of war. "History lias S taught us that war is a recurring pile- ' nomenon and that it pays to be pre- I pared." He then drew the distinction . between offensive and defensive mill- I tarism, the latter of which he and the majority who are in favor of prepared ness advocate. "So long as there is an ! offensive autocracy, as Germany, ' he | said, "there must be a defensive democracy." Adequate Navy Needed Mr. Wood declared himself as op- j posed to war and desirous of peace, ! but he feels that under present con- i ditions there exists a "blood-madness in Europe," and the only quarantine j that we can have against this disease ; is an adequate navy." "Who is there j to-day outside of Nebraska and De- 1 trolt who can produce a formula to overcome the evil of war?" was one of I the humorous sallies which the speaker I occasionally Interpolated in his re- j marks. Referring to the present war, Mr. j Wood remarked that at the close of! hostilities we will have only two friends, the Atlantic and the Pacific, the former having been crossed by Co lumbus and double-crossed by Henry Ford. Numerous statistics he recited to show our unpreparedness and in ability to enforce our will except '■ through happy circumstances; as tor | instance, that the only reason why the delivery of our virtual ultimatum to Germany a few days ago was made safe was the English lleet. During the j last two administrations, he said, we have fallen front second to fourth | place among the navies of the world. The speaker closed with an appeal for public service on the part of our citizens, not merely through the giving of money, hut by contribution of brains, energy and enthusiasm such as each Individual puts into his own private business. He decried ihe policy of the present administration in granting post office appropriations promiscuously and delaying the pass age of laws that will make prepared ness a reality. One of (lie strongest of his statements was that protection against German incursion in South America alter the war is included in present preparedness. No Danger of War, Says Pacifist Professor Stjarpless declared that' there will be no war with Germany and thnt there is no nation that wants; to attack us. It was his opinion that! the prepai'ednesr. propaganda is tin- : justified and is "merely one of those ! waives of impulse thai have swept over the country time after time."' lie ex-| pressed himself as in favor of delaying legislation until we are more fully in- . formed on the subject of armaments, I so that if it does become necessary to i arm, we can do it with the least ex pense. "We are preparing against an unknown future which we ought to be able to prepared some other way," he said; "the evil of preparation is great as against the small '-isk of attack by j other nations, which is remote." J Diplomacy and the fact that other, nations are dependent upon us com- j mercially are two reasons which will; prevent, war In his estimation. His j positive suggestion wis that we takei the money that is required to build j two dreadnaughts. about $40,000,000, i and spread it impartially among the] nations that might threaten us, and j then there would be little inclination on their part to attack lis. "Wait I until after the next presidential «lec- j tion." he added, "then perhaps so j many will not be anxious for prepared- j ness." 7t is his belief that the New Testament calls for peace and Chris- j tianity demands it. He declared him- | self as unalterably opposed to mill- i tary training in the schools. To Keep Away Teeth Stains and Tartar Why is it that so many persons, no j matter how regularly they use the tooth brush. have unsightly stains ami tartar 011 their teeth? The stains are discolor ed films which the usual paste, powder and liquid dentifrices are powerless to remove with any amount of rubbing j and scrubbing. And these Teasy films, ' besides being so offensive to the eye, are a source of real danger. Beneath them germs find ~ fruitful breeding place—germs which are the principal cause of tooth decay, soreness and soft ening of the gums, besides producing digestive and intestinal disturbances. Those who realize the seriousness of tills condition will be glad to know that ' they can quite easily remove every stain or discoloration—and prevent the formation of more films tor "placques." as dentists call them), a* well an tar- | tar. by simply using refined avatol regularly In place of dentifrices. There's nothing else that will so thor oughly clean the teeth, banish every ugly tint, and give that sparkling pearly whiteness so much admired.

"ANifmci" THE NEWEST DISCOVERYJN CHEMISTRY This is a recent discovery of Doctor Pierce, who is head of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y. Experiments at. Doctor Pierce's Hospital for several years proved that there is no other eliminator of uric acid j that, can be compared to it. For those easily recognized symptoms of inflam mation—as backache, scalding urina and frequent urination, as well as sedi ment in the urine, or if uric acid in the blood has cansed rheumatism, it is Biraply wonderful how 6urely "Anuric" acts. The best of results are always obtained in cases of acute rheumatism ; in the joints, in gravel and gout, and I invariably the pains and stiffness which ( so frequently and persistently accom pany the disease rapidly disappear. Go to your nearest drug store and simply ask for a 50-oent package of "Anuric," manufactured by Dr. Pierce, ! or even write Doctor Pierce for a free ! sample. If you suspect kidnev or blad- I der trouble, send him a sample of youi* water and describe symptoms. Doctor Pierce's chemist will examine it, then Dr. Pierce will report to you, without fee or charge. NOTE : French scientists affirm that i "Anuric" is thirty-seven times more i active than lithia in eliminating uric 1 acid, and is a harmlers but reliable 1 chemical compound that may be safely given to children, but should be used ! only by grown-ups who actually wish to I restore their kidneys to perfect health, ! by conscientiously using one box—or | more in extreme cases —as "Anuric" (thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievement) ! is by far the most perfect kidney and bladder corrector obtainable.
