The world is at the part ing of the ways. Before us are two sets of ideals, two policies of govern ment, two plans of international rela tions. The one is rooted in abritrary power, the other in democracy and the reign of law. Who can doubt the righteousness of our cause? Who can doubt that it will triumph? The moral forces of the universe are behind it. WEALTH AND WELFARE IN NORTH CAROLINA ACIDS IN STOMACH !

Listen to me I THE GERMAN DEALS OF AUTOCRACY (By President Jacob Gould Schurman, of Cornell University.) Second Year Book of North Caro lina Club of the University. Op- el Hill, Jan. 11 "Wealth and Welfare in North Carolina" is the ti tle of the second year-book of the Ncvtfa Carolina club of the university ; of iTorth Carolina. Twenty-four ar ticles are contributed and the whole ! - i r All a 1 volume Tii is 14U pages, ah ine ar ticles but two are written by students of the university, who, through the North Carolina club, have been inter ested .in studying problems affecting the social and economic welfare of the State. Prof. E. C. Branson con I tributes a foreword to the volume. "Our year-book is a look-in at the ; forces that are making or marring, creating or crippling, North Carolina today," says Dr. Branson concerning t the present volume. "It is not a vol : tune of State history but a volume of State economics and sociology of his j tory in the making, j "It is really a little text-book on wealth and welfare in North Carolina. ! worth putting into the hands of every j thinker and leader among the teach ers, preachers, doctors, farmers, bank ers, merchants and manufacturers of the State." j The inquiries of the club for the I past year were: (1) What are the sources of primary wealth in North Carolina? (2) How much wealth, to- tal and per capita, have we been able j to accumulate in the two and a half centuries of our history and what are the forms of it? (3) What business ! uses are we making of our wealth ? (4) How does North Carolina rank j in all these particulars among the You don't know what upset your, stomach which portion of the food did the damage do you? Well, don't bother. If your stomach is in a re-1 volt; if sick, gassy and upset, and what you just ate has fermented and turned sour; head dizzy and aches; belch gases and acids and eructate undigested food; breath foul, tongue coated just take a little Pape's Di apepsin to neutralize acidity and in five minutes you wonder what became of the indigestion and distress. Millions of nd women today know that it is needless to have dys pepsia. A little uiapepsin occasionai- Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it,causing cramping -and nausea. If you feel bilious, headachy, con stipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for "a few cents which is a harmless vegetable sub stitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you op better and quicker than nasty calo mel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money. If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be sides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for workor play.

Wheth er they do or not, they are certainly blind to the political ideal which civ ilized peopies and especially democra cies have in modern times come to re alize and accept. I mean the doctrine that each individual sovereign state must be recognized by every other as of equal worth and dignity and as having equal rights with itself. It has been said, and I think with truth that in this great world war Germany is playing the part of a nation which has run amuck. The fundamental ex planation of her aberations, of her re pudiation of right and law, of the pit iless and murderous warfare she has -waged, is her refusal to recognize the equal individuality of other nations and the limits to conduct set by reci procal obligations between them. America is fighting for the equal rights of civilized states. Looking at the matter from another point of view we may say America is fighting against German domination. Germany has proclaimed equally in practice ana in theorv that the world is her oyster and she will open it. But the other nations of the world decline the role of remaining mere inert material for absorption or domination by Germany. Anyone who has followed European diplomacy since the Franco-Prussian war, and especially since the twenti eth century opened, will be impressed with the evidence on every side of Germany's intention to dictate to Eu rore. Her great military power in i lt spired fear, and the dread of a genera V war generally brought about conces sions in her favor. This is the way m which she aided Austria-Hungary in the annexation of Bosnit and Herze govina, and this is the way in which in 1914 she thought to bring about the subjection of Serbia, thus opening up a road direct from Berlin through Bel grade to Constantionple and Bagdad. This time, however, Russia fait her in terests in the Balkans too vital to be ignored, and Germany's final step in the plan to establish her ascendency in mid-Europe precipitated the world war. The German government claims that it endeavored to avoid war, and it is probably a general belief among the German people that the emperor was in 1914 averse to war. Men and governments must, however, be judg ed not by their sayings but by their actions. And the gravamen of the indictment against Germany is thai even if she wished to avoid war, the one condition on which she was will ing to preserve reace was that she should ho allowed to dictate to the other nations of Europe the conditions on which that rcace could be main tained. The predominance of Germany in Eurcnc means the predominance of Germany in the world.

It is the mercy of Germany, and America j said that the Marine Corps Jazz band will be as much exposed to its depre dations as any of the countries of Eu rope ? Engulfing the merchant vessels and the travelers of all the nations in a common destruction, the submarine abrogates, the security which our iso lation has hitherto conferred upon us, and leaves the Monroe doctrine little more than a scrap of paper. But there is a third condition of peace. In all German pronunciamen tos on the subject of peace you will find the demand for the security of Germany and guarantees for the fu ture. By these phrases, however, Ger man statesmen and writers always mean such annexations of territorv. such rectifications of frontier, such I additions of coastline, and such mo-' nopoly of natural resources as will in' any future contingency makeGermany predominant, not merely over any one : nation, but over any combination of European nations. In this program the rights and just security of other; nations and the guarantees to which they are equally entitled are absolute-1 ly ignored. And it would not be un-! natural if writers in some of these I countries should advocate by way of! retaliation a similar chopping up of 1 German territory and a similar appro priation of German resources. There can, however, be no perma nent international settlement of the! present world contest along these1 lines. Germany is, indeed, entitled to security in the future; Germany should indeed, have guarantees; but this se curity and those guarantees are not! more imperative in the case of Ger-1 many than they are in the cast of' England, France, or the United States. All civilized nations are equally en-i titled to immunity from the horrors oi war and the menace of overmaster ing power centered in a single state or a group of states. Is it too much to hope that in this twentieth century of viiiLmii civilization tne world has; now reached a staere in w-birb nn,w the rule of reason and of right na-i tions, big and small alike, may occupy1 and use their own territorial domain safe from the apprehension of danger of attack from neighboring nations ? An international organization of the nations, and especially of the democ-i racies of the world, for the permanent 1 maintenance of peace, law and justice should be the culminating condition of ! tne cessation ot this colossal world conflict. No civilized is the only one in the world that boasts of a "bazooka". they eat their favorite foods without fear. If your stomach doesn't take care of your liberal limit without rebellion; if your food is a damage instead of a help, remember the quickest, surest, most harmless antacid is Pape's Di apepsin, which costs only fifty cents for a large case at drug stores. It's truly wonderful it stops food sour ings and sets things straight,so gently and easily that it is really astonish ing. Your stomach will digest your meals if you keep acids neutralized.

These instructions cover a period of less than three months of last year, but they tell a very complete story of how the Teu tonic war lords control public opin ion. Owners of newspapers and publish ers generally not only are limited as to the character of the articles print ed, but in many cases are told what they should publish and in what terms. Labor disturbances, food shortage and difficulties in securing and distribut ing coal are placed under the ban. but newspapers are urged to give prominence to enemy losses and to certain prescribed interpretations of the international situation. Estimates show the Government Printing Office will use 100,000,000 pounds of paper, costing about $4, 000,000, this year. Stomach Troubles.
