strain Frank Svoboda from conduct
ing his bakeshop. Svoboda had

Fifth street, and in their copy of the
bill of sale an inscription in ink set
forth that he would not engage in

All physicians agree that the vital
health of the world is dependent upon
some preventative remedy. Many
modern experts claim that this has
been found in iona Vita, the new
tonic, which adjusts impaired nervous
systems.
Since disease is primarily caused
by the failure of the nervous system
to bring health TO some portion of
the human body. hence. 1t follows that
if the nervous system is always keyed
up to the proper pitch, perfect health
will be the result.
iona Vita has all the essentials of
a logical preventative medicine. II
has the same action on every cell in
the body as the vital elements of ma
ture, such as sunshine and fresh air
would have.
This tonic is doubly valuable in
that it can relieve all cases of ner-
yous debility as well as prevent the
advent of disease.
iona Vita is in the hands of E. r.
Petty Drug Co. in Newark.

CANAL ISSUE MAY
SOON Be SETTLED
President, British Press Hears,
Will Soon Announce Favorable
Termination to Controversy.

WASHINGTON. April 15.-While
President Wilson has never expressed
himself publicly on the question of
Panama canal tolls. he has informally
Indicated to his friends that he be-
lieves in an Interpretation of the
treaty which would make it improper
for the United States TO exempt its
vessels in the coastwise traffic from
having tolls. He is also understood to
take the position that the exemption
as now proposed is in effect subsidy
and he has always been opposed to
subsidies.
The report that the President had
intimated to Ambassador Bryce that
the settlement of the question would
be favorable to Great Britain IS
credited generally in official circles
because it is thought that Mr.. VIII
sons personal friendship for the re-
firing ambassador would account Tor
their Intimate conversation on this
point just before Mr.. Bryces de-
parture, though Mr.. Wilson has been
urged not to give the formal express
sion to his views until the tarir Is
disposed Of in the present session oil
Congress.
4-~-dr. Wilson is said to realize that
r Soils question might, If brought up
80 present divide the Democratic
ztity and cause embarrassment to
tariff question, which he regards
paramount.
rhe inference drawn from the Lon
n report is that 4he President has
EN- fit informally to indicate to Eng
md that a favorable adjustment will
e forthcoming so as to forestall early
representations from Great Britain
q nd so that the British government
Knight understand fully the strategic
S -ealsor for temporary delay.
