And in these four short words he summed up the reason for almost every human ailment. It is a well-known fact, recognized by scientists and physicians, that 90% of our every-day complaints can be traced directly to some disorder of the stomach, and that our stomach trouble is caused by what we eat.

Your body can be compared to an immense apartment building; your stomach to the boiler which is providing steam to keep all the tenants warm and alive. The steam it supplies, of course, is blood; the tenants, your various organs of life and intelligence. You are the fire

man.

Now then, if you were firing such a boiler you would put into it only the best coal available-the coal best suited to burn correctly and evenly and to supply the most steam. And as a result you would have plenty of steam, your tenants would be warm and happy, and there would be no complaints from any one.

But, suppose a bag of powder, such as is used to fire our big guns, got mixed up in the coal. Suppose there were several sticks of dynamite and three or four cans of gasoline in the coal. What would be the result? Shoveled into the boiler, they would sputter for a second, and then-BANG! your boiler would go flying, your flues would be ripped and twisted, your steam would escape, and your tenants, being without steam, would start a clamor that would shake your apartment building from basement to roof. Yet dynamite, powder and gasoline are all good fuels when properly used.

EUGENE CHRISTIAN Twenty years ago Eugene Christian was at death's door: for several previous he had suffered all the agonies of acute stomach and intestinal troubles, until his doctors -among them some of the most noted specialists in the country gave him up to die. As a last resort, he commenced to study the food question himself. As a result of what he learned, he succeeded in literally eating his way back to health without drugs or medicines of any kind, and in a remarkably short space of time. Eugene Christian is today nearly sixty years old or shall I say young? For he has more vitality, more ginger, more physical endurance than most youngsters in their teens. For almost fifteen years he has not even had so much as a cold. What Eugene Christian has done for himself be has also done for thousands of others. Is it any wonder that some of his rich pupils have sent him checks for $500 to $1,000 in addition to the amount of his bill in token of the wonderful results he has secured for them!

THAT'S a direct par

allel to what happens in your stomach when the wrong food combinations creep in, It is a well-known fact that some chemical properties found in our every-day foods, if mixed in a chemist's retort, will explode. The same action takes place in the stomach. Very often, two perfectly good foods, when eaten at the same meal, form a chemical reaction in the stomach, and, figuratively, explode, liberating dangerous toxic poisons which are absorbed by the blood and circulate throughout the system, forming the root of all or nearly all sickness.

The natural condition of the stomach is good. As long as it is not interfered with it will function efficiently and well supplying the body and brain with vigor and energy. But when foods which donot properly combine

are

put into it, its ability to convert them into blood is destroyed. The first

indications of this condition are acidity, fermentation, gas, constipation, and many other sympathetic ills leading to most serious consequences.

The Proof is Free

If you have stomach trouble you don't have to be told the symptoms. You know you have it. But do you know how to get rid of it? Here is the way by which thousands of worn out stomachs are being renewed in 48 hours. And it won't cost you a penny to prove that it will do the same for you.

As startling as this statement may sound we will prove it to you, entirely without cost or obligation. Read about this wonder-working method and take advantage of this Free Proof.

Now as I have said, if it is not interfered with the body will keep itself healthy and will maintain an energetic, vigorous condition at all times. Therefore, it is only logical to believe that if the stomach is again given the proper food to digest, it will quickly become strong. With the fluids which are automatically secreted in the stomach for digestive purposes nature will quickly bring the system back to nor mal. Therefore, if you give your body the proper food-give nature half a chance your stomach trouble and all the associated ills will soon disappear.

THAT is the simple secret of the whole thing. Eugene Christian, the eminent food specialist, has treated over 23,000 cases with this method. In some cases where constipation and indigestion have been chronic for five years, he has induced a natural passage in 48 hours. His methods make gas, acidity, fermentation, and indigestion disappear. And it is all done without medicines, exercise, or instruments of any kind.

With Eugene Christian's method of treatment you eat the things you like. You are not told that you must not eat the good nourishing foods to which you are accustomed. You are not bound up with a lot of ridiculous rules for expensive diets. You can go right on eating the foods you like-so long as they are properly combined with other foods.

This sounds so simple that many people will be incredulous. Many will think that a thing so obvious and so easy could not possibly cure so terrible an affliction as a bad stomach. And the idea that you can positively start yourself on the road to a new stomach, good health, and strength in 48 hours may seem far-fetched.

Therefore, it will take unusual methods to back it up. Here's our offer. Here's the way we propose convincing you that you can give yourself relief from any kind of stomach trouble-chronic or acute -in 48 hours.

Don't send a cent. This is going to be a free proof. Merely mail us the coupon. We will send you the 24 little lessons in Corrective Eating, written by Eugene Christian and published by the Corrective Eating Society of New York. These lessons contain actual menus for breakfast, luncheon, and dinner; covering every condition of health and sickness from infancy to old age and for all occupations, climates, and seasons.

With these lessons at hand it is just as though you were in personal contact with the great food specialist, because every possible point is so thoroughly covered that you can scarcely think of a question which isn't answered.

Remember, this is without a penny from you. Now we're going to ask you to follow very carefully the instructions that come with this set of lessons. You won't be asked to abstain from foods you like. You can eat anything you want so long as it is properly combined with other foods. All we ask is that you follow these menus religiously for 48 hours. Just give them a fair trial for your own sake.

You can start eating the very things that will produce the increased physical and mental energy you are seeking the day you receive the lessons. And you will find that you secure results with the first meal. This, of course, does not mean that complicated illnesses can be removed at one meal, but it does mean that real results can nearly always be seen in 48 hours or less.

ALTHOUGH we are willing that you judge

results from a 48-hour trial of the lessons, we want you to use them Free for five days. Then, if after 5 days of delicious health-building meals, you are not convinced that this method of correcting a bad stomach is good-if you are not convinced that your stomach can be made over-renewed-and kept in a natural, vigorous state by eating the proper food combinations, send the whole set back to us and you won't be out a cent. We won't send any solicitors or any letters to annoy you. You're not putting yourself under any obligation whatever.

But if you are feeling better-looking better, if your brain is acting quicker, your stomach functioning better; if your general physical condition is greatly improved, and you want to keep it in condition; if you realize that this set of little lessons in Corrective Eating is invaluable to you as a health-builder and health-keeper, just keep them and send us only three dollars in full payment for the entire set.

This is the easiest, quickest, and surest way we know of. We don't ask much of you. Just a 48hour trial at our expense, that's all. You keep them Free for five days, but we stand or fall by what the little lessons do for you in 48 hours. Surely you owe it to yourself to at least investigate this method and give this society an opportunity to prove its real worth.

The reasons that the Society is willing to send the lessons on free examination without money in advance is because they want to remove every obstacle to putting this knowledge in the hands of the many interested people as soon as possible, knowing full well that a test of some of the menus in the lessons themselves is more convincing than anything that can possibly be said about them.

You don't risk a cent and you may, through following these simple methods, gain complete relief from stomach trouble forever. This is a real chance for you. Mail the coupon now with your name before the impulse is cold. Action is what counts. Give your stomach a fighting chance.

A LINK BETWEEN AMERICA

AND ENGLAND

During the time that I lived at Roundkey, near Leeds, Yorkshire, England, I, about the year 1880, in company with the vicar, the Rev. Thomas Davis, met at Elmete Hall, the residence of Mr. James Kitson (grandfather of Lord Airedale), a daughter of Longfellow. In course of conversation Miss Longfellow informed us that Queen Victoria had expressed to Dean Stanley her concern about the bald expression in the English national anthem, "confound their knavish tricks," which her Majesty felt was not quite in keeping with refined thought or Christian ideal. That thereupon the Dean proposed that Tennyson might perhaps be able to make some appropriate emendation. The Poet Laureate, however, seemed disinclined to deal with the point raised, but ventured to suggest that Longfellow might be approached, which was done. Longfellow, in turn, did not see his way to alter the offending expression or tamper with the second

but suggested that the third verse verse, of the international ode "Our Fathers' Land" (published in a book of poems entitled "Songs in Many Keys"), written by his friend O. W. Holmes on the occasion of the visit to Boston, Massachusetts, in 1860, of Edward, Prince of Wales, might meet the case. Mrs. Sheridan, a daughter of the celebrated historian J. L. Motley, who was a very great friend of Longfellow and Holmes, corroborates this authorship. We here at Giggleswick-inCraven Church have adopted the verse of Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, and sing the following version of our national anthem: Even during this present stress many must feel that this is, after all, the right uplifting note of spiritual aspiration for a Christian nation. Vicar Davis further added that the original first line was, "God save our Lord the King," which on the accession of Queen Victoria was altered, for pure scansion reason, to "God save our gracious Queen."

May I take this opportunity of publicly stating how refreshing and educative I find The Outlook, and how much I admire the justice of the policy of its worthy editor?

VERSAILLES AND AFTER

WITH practically no ceremony, two Germans, in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, set their names and seal to the Treaty that records Germany's defeat in the world war. There were two coincidences-one planned, the other probably not planned. The Hall in which the signing took place was that in which Bismarck chose to crown Wilhelm I German Emperor, and thereby established the German Empire. The day on which the signing took place was the fifth anniversary of the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, which Germany chose as the pretext for beginning the world war. In the place of men with titles of nobility and royalty there stood commoners and plain citizens. There were soldiers in uniform, but they were guards and not participants. Among the distinguished spectators was a group of French poilus-common soldiers wounded in the cause of France and civilization. There were no speeches, no sermons, no martial or ecclesiastical music. There was simply the stern invitation uttered by M. Clemenceau to the German delegates to come forward and sign.

June 28, 1919, will be recorded in history as the date on which began the Peace of Versailles. As a matter of fact, however, there is no more peace to-day than there was before those two Germans and the representatives of all the nations in the Peace Conference, with the exception of China, signed the Treaty. The United States to-day is still at war with Germany. Not merely technically at war. It is as true now as ever that there is no peace without victory, and victory over the spirit of Prussianism has yet to be

won.

Just before the signing of the Treaty the German Government made it very clear that they were signing with their hands but not with their wills or their hearts. There is no indication that Germany intends to keep any more of that Treaty than she is required by outside pressure to keep. Those Germans that were nearest to the guns of the Allied armies on the Rhime were most anxious to see the Treaty signed. Men who come from Germany testify that the German people are still unable to understand, not merely that they have been defeated, but that they deserve to be defeated. The men of our Army of Occupation, like the men in the armies of France and Britain, were eager to advance into Germany and were waiting the word that would have come to them

JULY 9, 1919

if the Germans had not signed. This eagerness was not bloodthirstiness. We know our men better than to think that there is anything bloodthirsty about them. They were eager to go on because they knew from their experience that the Germans still need a tangible demonstration that they have failed in what they tried to do.

It is hard for the Germans to understand what has happened. Their territory is undevastated, undamaged, while the lands of France and Serbia and Poland have been made into deserts. It is not yet certain, at least in their minds, that they did lose the war. They do not understand why they should be short of food, and much less do they understand why they should fail to command the world's respect.

Of course, therefore, as the Treaty was signed there were disorders in Germany. There still persist reports that the reactionaries and Junkers are plotting to regain power.

The "Tageblatt" of Berlin expresses a characteristic German view when it says of the Treaty of Versailles : of the Treaty of Versailles: "Despite the fact that it was written on parchment, it remains a scrap ment, it remains a scrap of paper." There are men in Germany who know the truth, and a few of them say it, but it will take a long while for the German people to realize that their nation has been a criminal nation and that it has been treated with magnanimity and lenity.

Under these circumstances, if this peace is to be a peace of justice, it must be a peace of vigilance.

PROTESTS

Nobody is fully satisfied with the Treaty of Versailles. This dissatisfaction on the part of many was to be expected. There was certain to be complaint that the Treaty is too severe. Sympathizers with Germany were bound to express outrage at any terms that treated Germany as a defeated nation. There was also bound to be some complaint because the terms are not severe enough. Indeed, it was not possible, even if it were desirable, to express in terms of reparation the magnitude of Germany's crime. There has also been dissatisfaction, some of it has also been dissatisfaction, some of it unavoidable, because of the allotments of territory. And there has been severe criticism of the Treaty because of provisions it contains for the League of Nations.

On the occasion of the signing two protests were voiced. One of these was that

of Jan Smuts. Representative of South Africa at the Conference, he worked early and late for the framing of a League of Nations. He belongs to the group commonly called idealistic. He believes that the terms of the Treaty are too severe, that they contain seeds of future disturbance and revenge. Nevertheless he signed the Treaty. His example has been commended to those who think as he does.

The other protest was expressed by China in the most emphatic way possible -the Chinese delegates refused to sign. They were not willing to be parties to an agreement which transfers what they believe to be Chinese territory from Germany to Japan. China, therefore, has not yet taken the preliminary step necessary in order that she may become a member of the League of Nations. The Chinese have the courage of their convictions. They are not willing to be forced into the League at the price of what they consider vital to China's integrity and China's honor. It has been pointed out, however, that China can adhere to the League of Nations by signing the Treaty with Austria.

Among those who have as much right as any one else to protest against certain of the terms of the Treaty are the French. It has been stated that the war and the Peace Treaty have left France with a tax. burden twice as great as that of Germany. Germany's lands are undisturbed, her factories intact, her commercial organization all ready for peace, and, it is stated, a vast merchant marine concealed under neutral flags, while France has suffered devastation the extent of which even those who see it find it quite impossible to conceive. From Germany France has not yet received a franc, and she will not receive anything, according to the Peace terms, until after two years, and then every year for five years. As a Frenchman states it in an interview printed in the New York "Evening Post," France is "to get from Germany less than you Americans are to receive on your sequester and submarine account, and not as much as the British get on their ship-damage account, and scarcely one-half of what France paid each year on the indemnity exacted from her by Germany after the war of 1870;" and then after those five years Germany will be less willing to pay, and other nations less willing to make her pay. And there are Frenchmen, not alarmists, who feel that France is very insecurely protected against a still united and Prussianized Germany. But France has signed, and in
