HERE is GOOD NEWS FOR
STOMACH VICTIMS

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intertinal troubles with
pure vegetable oils, which exert a
cleansing, soothing and purifying ac-
tion upon the lower bowels, removing
the distractions of poisonous fecal
matter and gases and preventing their
absorption by the blood. Thi sdone,
the food is allowed free passage from
the stomach, fermentation ceases and
stomach troubles quickly disappear.
George H. Mayr for twenty years a
leading Chicago druggist, cured him
self and many of his friends of stom-
ach, liver and intestinal troubles of
years standing by his treatment, and
so successful was the remedy he de-
vised that it has since been placed
/ nthe hands of druggists all over the
country, who have sold thousands of
bottles
Though absolutely harmless, the eff
feet of the medicine is sufficient to
convince any one of its remarkable eff
fectiveness. and within "a hours the
sufferer feels like a new person.
Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Remedy is
now sold here by City Drug Store.

CEREMONY MARKS THE
GROWING OF THE POPE.

Rome, Sept. THE coronation OF
Pope Benedict XIV took place today
in the Sistine chapel. The ceremony
was imposing in its solemnity. The
Sistine chapel was used for the oc.
casion to avoid pomp during the
war. The entirfe pontifical court,
numbers of the Roman aristocracy
and the pontiff were present.
The scene with Pope Benedict seat
ed in the Sedia Gestatoria, preceded
by bearers of the triple crown, and
thanked by bearers of the celebrated
feather fans, and sixty cardinals in
their full vestmeHts was striking
one. When the ceremony ended the
pope was received with loud acclaim.
Later in the day Pope Benedict
received successfully in private audi
ence Cardinals Gibbons. Farley and
O'Connell, pho presented their suits
and some American friends.

ELS CONTRASTS PEACE OF THE
UNITED STATES TO WAR IN

Waterville, Me, Sept 7.-Contrast-
ing the peace of the United States
with the war in Europe, Secretary of
the Navy Daniels, in an address here
last night declared the peace which
American enjoys is due to wise states
manship in handling difficult prob
lens
Recounting complications growing
out of California legislation at the
beginning of the Wilson administra-
tion, which threatened to disturb our
traditional friendship with Japan" the
secretary declared that "the wise
President and the wise secretary of
state, lovers of peace and justice, pur-
sued a consistent course of friendship
and frankness" with representatives
of Japan, and that officials of Japan
likewise held to course of cOncilia-
tion and friendship, refusing to be
hurried by the thoughtless or to lose
their heads because of the clamor of
the jingoism."
Secretary Daniels called attention
to the protests against the Presi-
dents Mexican policy, its ridicule as
amateur diplomacy" by many and
predictions that it would fail.
Happily, the policy of the admins
tration found favor with the bulk of

every political party" Mr.. Daniels con.
tinued, "and the hands of the Presi-
dent were upheld by the great ajori-
ty of the members of congress, by a
large proportion of the press and by
the people.
To-day we owe to our administra-
tion the fact that while nearly all
Europeans are at each others throats
in deaths struggle, Mexico is coming
into its own and taking the first
steps toward establishing a constitu-
tional government, and our own peo-
pie on their own hearths and fire
sides. are free from the perils of war"
THE world stood aghast,' Mr. Dan
iels declared, at the conflict in Europe.
Before the final appeal to arms,
while sitting at the bedside of his
dying Wife" he said, President Will
son sent a cable message to the heads
of the powers, rendering the good of
fees of the American government, in
the hope that their differences might
be settled with honor without resort
to arms. Our wise President did not
limit the good offices of the American
government to the period of the out
break of the war, but volunteered
them at any time.
This tender voiced the American
spirit and the American impulse. If
all the warning nations could have
accepted this method of arbitrament
of their differences, what a blessing
it would have carried into the homes
now full of tears"
