ONLY PEACE WITH HONOR
LIoyd-George Declares England Should
Evade War. but Keep Prestige.

London, July 24.-Addressing BAN
uuet given by the bankers of London
David Lloyd-George, charcellor of the
exchequer, referred to Great Britain's
continually growing prosperity, which,
he said, could only be arrested by a
disturbance of the worlds peace.
Therefore, he was ready to make
great sacrifices to preserve peace and
would rejoice at the success of arbi-
tration negotiations with the United
States, but, he added, it was essential
that Great Britain should maintain
her place and prestige among the
great powers.
If a situation were forced upon
Great Britain, where peace could only
be preserved by the surrender of the
position she had won by centuries of
heroism and achievement: by allow
ing herself to be treated. where vital
interests were concerned, as though
she were of no account in the cabinet
of nations, then, he said emphatically,
peace at that price would be humil-
iation intolerable for England to en-
dure.

Bought Half interest In the West

New York, July 24.-How the war
between the Spreckels' interests and
the American Sugar Refining CON-
pany was settled, and how in the deal
the Havemeyers and John E. Searles
made an enormous profit, was told TO
the special congressional committee
investigating the trust by Claus Au-

Claus Spreckels of California Mr..
Spreckels said:
"The war started soon after the
formation of the trust in 1887 and con-
tinued until 1891. 1t was very fierce"
How did the end Gomez"
II was manager of the Spreckels re-
fnery in Philadelphia in 1901 when
John E. Searles, secretary and treas
urer of the American Sugar Refining
company, came to me in Philadelphia
and made & proposition to settle the
war. He said if we would sell 81 per
cent of the stock of the Philadelphia
Plant 1t would close it's competing
plant on the Pacific coast. The result
was that the Western Refining com
pany was formed, embracing tue
American and Spreckels interests in
$5,000,000 corporation. The Ameri.
can took s2,225,O00 in the capital
stock and delivered it to III. o. Have.

York. They told me they were tEe
purchasers and not the American.

"Six months later the Havemeyers
and Searles, with my father, sold the
total capital stock of the Western
company to the American for s10,000,-
900 in preferred stock. OF this my
father received s5,000.000 and the
Havemeyers and Searles got the same

"My quarrel with them started
when they wanted to limit the out.
put of the Philadelphia plant. Their
idea was to reduce the amount Of pro-
duction and thus force UP the price.
My plan was to increase the output
and decrease the price"
"Since my opposition to the Ameri-
can company" Mr.. Spreckels said, II
have met with lots of trouble. In
Philadelphia, before the trust got con-
troll, our machinery was damaged by
people throwing things in them. This
trouble ended when Havemeyer got

GERMS IN HER SYSTEM
Every Woman Should Read
this Advice and the Generous
Offer that Goes With it.

The number of diseases pecul-
lar to woman is such that we be-
lieve this space would hardly
contain a mere mention of their
names, and it is a fact that most
of these diseases are of a catarrh-
al nature. A woman cannot be
well if there is a trace of catarrh
in her system.
Some women think there is no
help for them. We positively de
clare this to be a mistaken idea.
We are so sure Of this that we
offer to supply medicine absol-
utely free of all cost in every
instance where it fails to give sat
isfaction, or does not substantiate
our claims. With this under
standing, no woman should hest
tate to believe our honesty of
purpose, or hesitate to put our
claims to a test.
There is only one way to over
come catarrh. That way is
through the blood. You may
use all the snuffs, douehes or
like remedies for years without
getting more than temporary re-
lief at best. Catarrh in general
is a diseased condition of the
system that shows locally more
frequently in discharges from
mucous membranes. Local treat
ment should be assisted by inter
nal treatment for the general dis
eased condition if a complete
cure is to be reached. That In
ternal treatment should be scien-
tifioally devised and faithfully ad
ministered.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is scien-
tifically prepared from the pre-
scription Of an eminent physician
who for thirty years made ca
tarrh his speciality. This rem
edy is admirably adapted to the
treatment of the catarrhal all
ments of women. 1t purifies
and enriches the blood, tends
to stop mucous discharges, aids
in removing impurities from the
system, soothes, heals and streng.
thens the mucous tissues, and
brings about a feeling Of health
and strength.
We want you to try Rexall
