In the end you may have but two rival groups covering the visible world, facing each other bulkily and lusting for absolute domination. That would be a most disquiet- ing and ominous outcome of an excellent theory. This theory, even when it promises nothing but good, cannot be applied to the states for the simple reason that it leans too closely to- ward the principle of action over which the civil war was waged. = Editorial Comment | The Right Spirit (Ann Arbor News) A German war hero was buried with honors by American ex-service men in New Jersey the other day. The man had no friends, no money, no relatives—nothing, in fact, save a war record. There was some discussion among the Vet- erans of Foreign Wars, but finally it was de- cided to rescue the dead soldier from a pau- per’s grave and give him a decent burial.

F i t : i E THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE WASHINGTON LETTER BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer ‘Washington—The government now owns 800 commercial ships, more than 300 of which are being operated. All but a half-dozen transatlantic passenger liners are farmed out to private operators, who are’ com- pensated by the Shipping Board. - About 1700 ships have been dis- posed of since the war—scrapped or sold to private concerns. of the war found us with a vast sur- e end plus of ships. Since that time our war-built vessels still in operation, gradually growing old, have been less and less able to compete with new and faster shipping, so that our ae marine has gradually de- clined, This merchant marine, now carry- ing a third of our foreign trade, cost the government $16,000,000 last year, but the Shipping Board deficit has been rapidly decreasing. It amounted to $75,000,000 in 1921, In two or three years, our best ships will be inferior in almost every respect to the best ships of our com- petitors, according to shipping ex- perts. That is why wants to replace the existing lines with new and better vessels. The Shipping Board merchant marine ice now operates 28 lines, most of them across the Atlantic but striking the major ports of every continent. “4 It is these lines, with their ships flying the American flag, that back- ers of a government merchant marine seek to perpetuate by pro- viding for a meeceraent rogram. The Shipping Board’s replacement program calls for construction of 15 ships a year for 15 years at an annual cost of between $20,000,000 and $25,000,000. ba .

Germany, France, Italy and Japan were all far ahead of us in shipbuilding. Shipbuilding in progress at the first of this year was 1,200,000 tons greater than a year before, according to a world survey. But work on hand in American shipyards had decreased 45 per cent in that time. The United States had 97,370 tons building as compared with 1,579,713 for Great Britain and Ireland. Ahead of us were Britain, Germany, \Italy, Holland, France, Sweden and Denmark. These figures, it has been point- ed out, are taken from a period in which the future of the American merchant marine depended on pri- vate initiative and individual own- ership and during which the ernment sold as many of its ships as possible instead of building new ones. If the Jones bill declaring a gov- ernment merchant marine policy becomes a law— “It will,” says Senator Jones, “en- courage American shippers to em- ploy American ships, insure employ- ment of American shipyards, stimu- late more and more Americans to be ship-minded, encourage the United States to attain and then maintain maritime rank commensurate with its rank as a sea power, provide a constant stimul.s to expansion of our foreign trade, enable the govern- ment to provide auxiliaries and meet any emergency, assure our farm- ers protection for exported crops and reasonable rates on them, strengthen our navy, prevent for- eign combinations to drive Ameri- can ships out of business, keep at home the money paid for shipping charges and commit us to building up a new and indispensable great American industry = f Xx Thought and would not be comforted they ate not.—Magt. 2:18, eloquent of infi ot —Pollock. ole DEMOCRAT!

The rectum should be thoroughly washed at least once a day with two or three quarts of warm water, in the form of an enema, is can be taken while sitting on the toilet and allowing the water to run in and out so as to wash all of the membra..es of the lower bowel. This treatment should be kept up for weeks or even months if necessary while the other causes are being removed, This keeps the rectal membranes clean and free from bacterial and food irritations and is at the same time soothing to the nervous system. eo ic In yesterday's article I explained how various abdominal pressures interfere with the circulation of the blood which comes away from the rectal region. A congested liver so dams up the portal circulation that the rectal veins are forced to, enlarge until the liver disorder is corrected. Bad habits of eating must be changed to good ones. food supply must be cut to the mini- mum, and all of the heavy foods such as the proteins and carbohy- drates considerably reduced for some time in order to give the liver a chance to catch up with its work and able to resume its normal function, Prolapsus of the abdominal or- gans must be corrected througl. the taking of systematic physical culture exercises. The prolapsed stomach and intestines can be raised to nor- mal position if the exercises are per- sisted in over a period of months. Constipation must be cured as soon as possible through a properly regu- lated diet, increased exercise, regu- larity at stools, with the use of agar- agar and mineral oil if necessary.

This will stop pain from hemorr- hoids and materially reduce their size, finally through the contraction, developing the muscles in the walis of the veins. Those who live in rorthern climates can use ice water during the winter. This can be ap- plied through several injections of ice water with a small hand syringe.

This ice treatment is also effective in all other rectal disorders, and.taken in this way: Break off a small piece of ice, shave it into a cone-like ee and carefully in- sert the small end into the rectum, holding it in place with a thick towel.
