(Established 1873) I $7.20 + 7.20 KEEP UP WITH SANTA CLAUS | Only 20 more days to Christmas! ; i Our artist shows Santa Claus traveling by air-| plane. | He’s up to date. That’s the swiftest method of | travel. J : i You'll need to hurry to keep up with Santa} Claus! | Only 17 more shopping days before Christmas! Shop early! Shop today! : | Don’t put it off a minute! The Christmas saint no longer travels by the old reindeer-sled plan. It’s too slow for this fast age. | Putting off Christmas shopping is as out of date as traveling acr the continent by ox-cart. | You see, it’s a case of first come, first served. And there aren't too many clerks this year, you| know. Clerks are still trying to do double duty to tide over the labor shortage. If you want to be waited on promptly, shop early! Shop while the| shopping is good—in the early hours of the day. Shop early while gift assortments in the stores are full and complete. That will make your task, of picking a gift ever so much easier. | Whatever you do, shop early! Early in the day! Early in the season! When the peace conference gets through about all Germany will have will be a spot in the sun. Is IT GOOD BUSINESS i Qut in Oregon the government is offering for | sale the entire equipment it has gathered to in-/ sure production of spruce for its airplanes. This has cost millions; it includes logging roads, | railroads, mills, boats, cut-up plants; it forms the greatest equipment in the world today for the} economical and speedy production of the fine ma-! terials needed in aircraft. It will be sold at a bargain, and probably most} of its efficiency will be ‘destroyed. If Uncle Sam.is to carry mail and express, may- be passengers and freight, by aircraft, and if he isj going to lead ‘the world with his aerial navies,| might it not be a good business hunch to keep this| basic equipment together? We merely inquire; perhaps Washington may} answer, to the satisfaction of the public. If this speedy demolition and sacrifice of all the big public industries built up for national efficien- cy is carried through and the nation loses its rail- road control, its ships, its authority over telegraph cable, telephone and express companies, much of the public benefit the optimists saw merging from the red womb of war will prove but an aborted thing. j Doubtless Wall Street is the only spot in Amer- ica where the real issues of the Russian situation are clearly understood. SUSPENDING JUDGMENT President Wilson leaves a very indignant con- gress behind him. The national view is divided and confused. There are two camps. On approves the other disapproves, but everywhere there seems to be a disposition to suspend final judgment until the peace conference gets under way. His ad- dress to congress is practically silent on the peace terms. The chief executive deals in generalities and adds nothing of definiteness to the fourteen points whose application promises to be a subject of lively controversy when the allies face each other at Versailles. Every precedent is ignored in neglecting to give the senate; the constitutional treaty making body; the court of last resort, any representation on the peace commission. On the other hand the president gives his Dem- ocratic leaders in the:senate cold comfort when he promises to keep them fully advised of what tran- spires at the peace conference. They probably are more incensed over this attitude of the executive branch toward them than the Republicans who of course resent the exclusion of the legislative branc hfrom the peace preliminaries. His references to peace in the message are dis- appointing both to congress and to the nation. Otherwise the address has many admirable points. Everyone expected a definition of peace terms, less vague, less academic in scope than the now famous fourteen points. President Wilson has seen fit to deny national desire in this and there is nothing to do but to indulge in watchful waiting. On economic issues, President Wilson frankly passes the solution of the railroad problem to con- gress without recommendation. There is nothing in the recent election returns to warrant federal ithe virility of the race? Let’s put these problems up to the moralizers.| + | viki were on the verge of collapse. And they seem mental ownership which is nothing but another name for political control. A nation approves President Wilson’s eulogy of the part women have played in this war. Full enfranchisement at an early date would be a suit-} able reward; an elimination of an unjust barrier} between them and a full participation in the fruits of democracy which without their sacrifices would have been impossible. His tribute to the American soldiers voiced the} nation’s sentiments, | Kaiser William may eat his Christmas dinner in | Holland or jail. That Paris repast is long overdue. | SHALL WE ALL TAKE TEA? | Tea-drinking is on the increase in these United! This statement is made on the authority of the| tional City, Bank of New York which has col- lected statistics to prove it. Whereas in 1909 we imported 115,000,000 pounds of tea, in 1918 we imported 151,000,000 pounds. Why? The same authority gives the answer: Prohibition! British tea experts say world consumption of tea is increasing in direct ratio to the spread of liquor restrictions and prohibition. These facts are called to the attention of grape juice and “soft-drink” devotees. And to the alarm- ists who see visions of world epidemics of drug ad- dictions. Shall we have tea-saloons ? Will they be a substitute for liquor saloons? Is tea’s increasing popularity due to its stimu- lating, exhilarating effects? Will not coffee consumption jump, too? These all are interesting questions to think and tal kabout when you’re weary of weightier, more tragic things. | Men used to speak rather contemptuously of “tea-fights”. Will they change their mental squint and become tea-fighters ? Will tea-drinking have an yserious effects on They can easily develop arguments over them. We've been hearing for a year that the Bolshe- jas strong in the saddle as ever. Postinaster (ieneral Burleson — Expects to Use 100,000 Army ' Trucks in Developing New | WITH THE EDITORS | HINDENBURG’S NEGLECTED WIFE “Ach! Women! I hate them! They have no place in my life! I have other things ‘to think about!” These were the exact words spoken to me a few years ago by Field Marshal von Hindenburg. We were seated on the veranda of Hindenburg’s favorite little cafe in Hanover. Along the street below had passed a shabbily dressed, careworn woman whom I recognized as the wife of Hindenburg. My observation that he never took her out gave rise to the cryptic utter- ance which appears above. It typifies exactly the attitude of the idol of Germany towards women. Love has played no part in his checkered life. His career can be searched thoroughly, but no trace of those ques- tionable scandals which seem to be part and parcel of the lives of great Huns will be found. Hindenburg’s wooing was prosaic. There was no romance about it. Its counterpart can be found by the thousand in industrial towns and villages all the world over. When he was 24 years of age Hindenburg’s mother died. She was the only woman for whom he ever showed any love. Out of his small pay as an army lieutenant he scraped a few marks weekly and denied himself so that she could have this small allowance. Morose, silent, selfreliant, intolerant of the fav-| ors of other men, he yet felt the need of having somebody to lock after the little house his sainted mother had so long occupied. He looked about in Hanover where he then lived, and his choice fell upon Frauline Solf. She was a child of the people, plain, unintelligent and uninteresting. But, as Hindenburg found out, she was an excellent housekeeper. He put his proposal before her in a businesslike manner. He so far unbent as to dilate upon his prospects, and he offered her a home and her keep in return for marriage. She accepted the offer. For the daughter of an agricultural laborer she was “doing very well for herself.” The whole ceremony, apart from the wedding ring, cost under $12.50. There were no-bridesmaids, no honey- moon, and no festivity. Hindenburg’s wedding gift to his wife, which I have seen many times, consisted of an illustrated bible with gilt edges, costing about eight marks. The bulk of the $12.50 was spent on a wedding meal. The married life of this ill assorted couple proceeded without a ripple. Hindenburg never consulted his wife about anything. She was his slave more than his wife, and so long as she pre- pared his meals and looked after his home he did not trouble.’ But she nevertheless lived in secret terror of him; she was afraid to have a thought of her own. From the moment the kaiser recalled Hinden- burg from Hanover, his wife has dropped entirely out of his life as though she never existed. Through his lawyers he now makes her a gener- ty. by socialism. The people of the United States desire strict regulation of public utilities, not govern- spends it—Pearsons Weekly, London.

[= t To Avoid and Relieve Influenza By Dr. ‘Franklyn Duane. ‘Many -people have been frightened \by what they have read or heard of influenza. The more you fear the dis- ease, the surer you are to get it. Go right about your business and for- get it, As the disease is spread principally by contact through sneez- ing, coughing or spitting. many health authorities have advised that every- one wear a gauze, which is daily washed and saturated with a one to five hundred solution of zine sulphate in water, and then dried before wear- ing over.the nose and mouth. You should avoid crowds, common drink- ink cups and public towels. Keep your strength up by taking lots of ex- ercise in the open air and plenty of nourishing food. If you have any of such symptoms as chilline: nasal obstructions, flushed face, headache, feverishness, restlessness weakness or irritating cough give up work at once and go to bed. This will save your strength to help overcome the disease. Put your feet in hot water for fifteen minutes. Thoroughly loosen the bowels with some such mild and _ non-irritating physic as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pel- lets. Drink principally of hot lemon- ade and then cover up with plenty of clothes in bed go‘as to get a good sweat, When sweating is free and the fever reduced take a dose of two An- uric Tablets every four hours, fol- lowed by drinking at least a glass or two of hot water. Anuric Tablets help quickly to relieve the soreness of the muscles and bones from which most patients complain and help the kidneys flush out the poisons. To relieve nasal obstructions and excessive discharge from the nose, probably nothing is better than such a mild, soothing, antiseptic wash as Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. It will give great relief. Employed as a gar- gle, in same strength as made for use in the nose, and as hot as can be borne, it quickly arrests soreness and dryness in the throat. Influenza weakens the patient's re- sistance {o disease, so that there is Yanger of bronchitis and pneumonia developing. ‘To combat this tendency and fortify the patient's strength in- sist that he. keep in bed at least two days. Probably nothing will at this stage hasten the recovery and }strengthen the patient more than an tron tonic tablet called “Irontic’ or that well known herbal tonic, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discocery, ‘which has been used by thousands in the past two generations. , French government and which is op- erating a number of vessels built for the United States Fleet Corporation, is seriously ill at the Seattle General Hospital, where he has been confined for the last ten days, “Physicians in attendance upon Trenholmée .; have. not yet decided whether or :not an operation will be necessary. It is feared that a tumor has developed on the brain and that it may be necessary to operate to re- lieve the pressure, “Thenholme has been exceedingly active: in ‘Democratic politics for sev- eral years and is regarded as one of the closest friends. and advisers of Gov. Ernest Lister. He was Lister's candidate for state chairman two years ago and afterward’ directed Lister's West Side fight for reelection. “Though a Canadian by’ birth, Tren- holme went to'North Dakota early in life, engaged in banking and grain ‘buying for several years and was ad- mitted to the practice of law. He joined the early Alaska gold rush and after his return io the States engaged in shipping business at Seattle. He was one of the organizers of the Mexi- can-Pacific Land Company, which owned extensive Mexican estates prior to the revolution that unseated Ma- dero. At the time Pancho Villa took the field negotiations were pending for the sale of these properties to a big English syndicate, but the war up- set that proposition.
