Washington, Nov. 11. — Prepared
ness for defense to insure freedom and
justice to the American people and
preparedness for peace to remove the
underlying causes of international con
flict were proclaimed by President
Hoover tonight as the foundation up
on which this country desires to ap
proach post war problems in harmony
with the nations of the world.
He declared for “adequate prepar
edness as a guarantee that no foreign
soldier should ever set foot upon the
soil of our country” but at the same
something far more powerful than
treaties and the machinery of arbitra
tion and conciliation and judicial de
cision, something more mighty than
armies and navies in defense.
“That is to build the spirit of good
will and friendliness, to create respect
and confidence, to stimulate esteem
between people—this is the far great
est guaranty of peace. In that atmos
phere, all controversies become but
passing incidents of the day. Nor does
this friendliness, respect and esteem

Declaring that to maintain peace is
as dynamic in its requirements as is
the conduct of war, Mr. Hoover said
progress toward peace could be at
tained only through realistic practical
daily conduct amongst nations.
“Men of good will throughout the
world are working earnestly and hon
estly to perfect the equipment of pre
paredness for peace,” he said. “But
there is something high above and in

BACKACHE

says Mrs. J. W.

“Mostly I was
afSicted with bad
apella of backache.
At times I felt as
if my back would break. I
would drag one fo^ after the
other, in a helpless sort of a
way, and once 1 got down in
bed. My husband urged me to
take Cardui, and I soon found
what a fine medicine it
really was.
“V^en my second child was
little, I was in very bad healHu
I did not pick up as I should
have. I was we^ and sickly.
I do not believe that I would
have come through, but for

“With this wider understanding of
mutual difficulties and aspirations
we can each in our own sphere better
contribute to broaden good will, to as
sist those forces which make for peace
in the world, to curb those forces
which make for distrust. Thereby do
we secure the imponderable yet tran
scendent spiritual gains which come
from successful organization of peace
and confidence in peace.

If your house is even slightly
weather-beaten, paint nowr for
economy. Give your house an
armor-like coating of SWP—
protect it against ruinous win

costly repair bills.
Fewtfi* gallons of SWP are
needed because its wonderful
“body” thoroughly covers
more square feet of surface per
gallon. Therefore it costs you
less per job. Call us for an
estimate—positive proof of the
economy of SWP. Come and
consult our beautiful new color
schemes. This aid is yours
merely for the asking.
Just look over these values—all of guaranteed quality—
for Friday and Saturday. And remember—we are right
here on the spot to make good anything which fails to
give satisfaction.
We are particularly proud to recommend the famous
Sherwin-Williams line of paints and varnishes. By
actual test and through long experience, we know
them tq be the best on the market.
' Paint is easily adulterated. Nobody can tell much
about paint by looking at it in the can. But a few
months after it is applied, the super quality of SWP is
apparent to anyone. We sell SW'P because it lasts more
than twice as long as cheaper paint—because it gives
absolute satisfaction, retaining its clean, true^colors
to the very last—because it is the world’s greatest
paint bargain.
