I ' War, domestic or foreign, is i mighty expensive business from the financial side, not vo mention the loss of ‘human life involved. Already our State Dept.rtment is being informed of larjf:e claims to be made by our citi: ;ins resi dent in Mexico for prmerty de stroyed because of the insurrecto movement. One of the first acts of President De La Barra was to send notes to the representatives of aggrieved nations, sfcvtingthat a court of claims would be im mediately established for the consideration of demands against Mexico for damages and indemni ty arising from the killitig of for eigners and the destruction of foreign property. This informa tion was conveyed to tha embas sies of the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Spain and China. Representatione for re covery may be made thrc»ugh reg ular diplomatic channels, and it is promised that all speed will be used to bring the claims before the special court as soon las com patible with present conditions. Here is only one of Mexico's woes. The general disturbance of the country has interfered so smously with farming opera tions that the outlook for the season's crops is very bad. As business rests so much upon the product of the earth, th;i outlook for anything like normal business conditions in Mexico is disheart ening. With the best of good fortune, not yet or for ak ng time to come can peaceful conditions be expected to prevail t hrough- out that troubled country, and it is not unlikely that the new government will find itself com pelled to take extraordinary mea sures before the year is out to feed the poor folks. A Sage Child’s Suggestion. Philadelphia Record. There's a certain minister whose duties sometimes call him out of the city. He has always arranged for some .'one of his parishioners to kjj|£p company with his wife and daughter during these absenc6\sj Recent ly. however, he was called away so suddenly that he had no op portunity of providing a guard ian. The wife was very brave dur ing the early evening, but after dark had fallen her courage be gan to fail. She stayed up with her little girl till there was no excuse for staying any longer and then took her up stairs to bed. “Now, go to bed, dearie,,, she said. ‘ ‘Don't be afraid, God will protect you." “Yes, mother," answered the little girl, “that'll be all right to night; but the next time let’s make better arrangements." The Speed Manta. Charleston News and Courier. Since Phaeton tried to drive the charoit of the 'sun and darkened the skins of the Ethiopians, the human race has paid its annual toll of death to the mania for speed. Daedalus and Icarus and Darius Green and a host of others did their share. The three-bank ed galleys of the Romans, their chariot races and their morals alike paid tribute to this human characteristic. We hardly know which is the more dangerous, the automobile, race or the aeroplane. Both are typical and both reap their har vest of death with startling reg ularity. The disaster at Indiana polis failed to startle because it was anticipated. People take it for granted that death will follow speed trials. And yet we speak of these things as accidents. How can that be an accident which we all feel certain will happen? Rather it is an accident when automobile races are held without the accompanying tribute of human life. We suppose that the mania will continue. It is hard to eradicate it from the human heart. Just as it is hard to eradicate the pas sion for gambling, which has been a distinguishing feature of the Teuton since first he appear ed in history. At the same time, it is altogether wise that the state should take some means to conrol these speed contests and to insist on the most careful pre cautions. To Whom It May Concern.

Mrs. Cook Tells Truth Dexter, Ky. —In^ signed state ment, Mrs. Cook t^ls the truth about how Cardui brought back her health and strength. She says, ‘‘I could not get any relief, until I tried Cardui, the woman's tonic. I suffered more or less for 10 years, and was so weak and nervous I could hardly do ray house work. Now I am in better health than ever before, am re gular as clock work, do not suffer at all, and gain strength every day." Thousands of women have been helped back to health by Cardui. Try it.
