GERMS OF GRIP KILLED!
Experiments Showing that These
Deadly Microbes Can bc EN'cr-
minated.

Willard IT. Morse, NJ. d., +. S. s.. OF
Westfied. n. j., a well-knO"n ana prom
inent consulting chemist and therapeu-
list. has recently issued an important ar
ticc upon the treatment OF grip. lie
took some OF the germs or microbes OF
grip. put them upon glass slide under
the microscope, and killed them abso-
lutely by drop Of whiskey. such a
demonstration of cure .!ouid be suffi-
cient for an ordinary observer, but 1t
was not enough for DR.. Morse. lie says
We want also three things. First, tho
preventative Of disease, second, the sus-
tanning of the powers Of the body, and
third. rendering the system unfertile to
germs or bacilli. Therefore. he says, TO
successfully kill Ahe germs OF grip and
render the body able 10 resist them, 1T
all depends on the whiskey.'
This IS putting the truth in nutshell.
But the eminent doctor goes still farther
and says:
Ordinary whiskey Is either useless or
dangerous. or both I'm the treatment Of
grip"
"Dunys Pure Malt Whiskey Is OF the
largest value In the treatment.
prof Morse draws this conclusion
wholly by experiment and facts proven
undor the microscope. Like all scien-
tie,s he comes 10 his conclusion only
after testing and proving and does not
attempt TO so farther

American Arbitration Proposals Not

the m Soldier"

THE HAGUE, June PAT an adjourned
meeting Of the delegates TO the peace con-
ference, under the presidency of NJ. De
Staal. this morning, it was resolved to fur
nish the newspapers with statements OF the
proceedings of the conference as well as the
plenary sittings.
The drafting committee of the arbitration
committee met to-day and continued dis
cussion o, the arbitration schemes. The
delegates not having received additional in
structions from their respective govern
ments. the committee adjourned until Fri
day without further progress.
This evening the delegates attended water
fetes given in their honor by the bathing
societies at Scheveningen, about two miles
northwest of The Hague.
h American delegates tonight issued a
manifesto to the effect that although the
English proposals have been used as the
basis of the arbitration discussion. this does
not mean the abandonment of the Ameri-
can plan. which will be presented later to
the plenary sitting of the third commission
and judged on its merits with the rest.
The discussion as to furnishing the news
papers with abstracts of the proceedings
developed a remarkable scene. NJ. Bernaert,
head of the Belgian delegation, on rising
to speak, addressed NJ. De Staal and in the
most pointed manner said that publicity
might as well be granted, as certain docu-
ments had been published in the news
papers Some of these documents, ne

Staal, but / cannot believe this, feeling sure
that the visitors to the Ouddoelen Hotel are
all too honest to stoop to theft" M. De
Staal received the remarks in silence.
