Under this the question of weighing 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

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

There's nothing else that will so thor

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
