The French English agreement does
not provide for submission of all ma
tional disputes TO The Hague tribunal
or for complete arbitration. The ma
lions concerned reserve the deciding
vote. Questions to be arbitrated are to
be submitted only when both nations
consider arbitration feasible.
Differences of judicial order or
such as relate to the Interpretation of
treaties existing between the two con-
tween them, and which may not be
possible to settle by means of diploma
cy. shall be submitted to the perma-
nent court of arbitration established at
The Hague by the convention of July
30 1899, on condition, however, that
they do not involve either vital inter-
ests of the two contracting states, and
that they do not affect the interests of
third power The agreement is to
remain in force for five years.
In case a vital difference should arise
between France and Great Britain the
value of the agreement is a doubtful
one. Nations are not ready for dis
armament. Territorial acquisition and
other strong influences will prevent the
complete abolition OF armies and breed
war between competing peoples for
long time to come. Still every step
toward arbitration of national disputes
is along the way TO general peace and
concord. There is cause for hopeful
ness in every treaty between nations
founded upon the articles of The Hague
convention.

It Is stated hy health authorities that such sudder changes cannot help but result in early fall colds. the grippe and other sickness This condition of things Is also bad fol old people. or those who are run dowr or have a tendency to any weakness ol disease"
 You are right" said Mir Fowler. ''th, weather indications all point to a cold wet and generally unhealthy fall. anC people are warned to take extra precau tions to ward off sickness. especially the old. and those who are already in deli. cate health"
 If I could only meet every person in this city face to face and tell them what a grand protection to health Vinol Is, know l could convince them SD l would not have clerks enough in my store to fill their orders. You see. We have been selling Vinol for several years. and every bottle is sold on a positive guarantee that if it does not do as We say, we will pay back the money. and as we have not been asked to refund for more than two bottles out of every hundred sold, this proves that Vinol Is successful in ninety-eight cases out of every hundred

 A remarkable feature of tho Randolph case was that 1t gave Dr. Herran, a Co. lombian. an opportunity not only to per- form an act of timely humanity, but to establish the abolition of cruel old-time Colombian prison custom. According to that custom for such convicts, being un- der sentence of death the prisoner had to wear shackles. pr. Herran saw Judge Randolph's suffering and went to work for him. It was ascertained that 1t was not law but only custom which thus h. fiicted a death-sentenced prisoner. The shackles were taken from Judge Ram dolph and that was the end of the cus- tom
 His treatment in the Medellin prison,' ' said Dr. Herran. has been very humane since his last trial.
