HEALTH INSURANCE

Some people are naturally thin.
There is also a natural pallor but most
people who are both thin and pale
are far from we'll and they need a
tonic until they get so sick that tonic
is not sufficient just because the de-
mand of the debilitated body is not
insistent enough. The pale face, weak
nerves, enfeebled digestion are neg
lected until the point where pain or
actual breakdown requires medical
treatment. A tonic taken in time is
the best health insurance. 1t sup
ports the overtaxed system, the wor-
ried nerves until nature can make re-
pairs.
Build up the blood and you are
sending renewed health and strength
to every part of the body. The appe-
tite is improved, the digestion is toned
up. there is new color in the cheeks
and lips. you worry less, become good
natured where before you were irrit-
able and you find new joys in living.
Tonic treatment is useful in dys-
pepsia. rheumatism, anemia and nerv-
Gus disorders. In many cases 1t is all
the medical treatment that is re-
quired.
Free booklets on the blood, nerves
and diet will be sent on request by the

PEACE CONGRESS
AT THE HAGUE ENDS

The Hague.-All neutral countries
will be invited to take steps for con.
ference at which they can offer con.
tinuous mediation TO the warning Eu.
ropean nations and also to invite sug.
gestions from the belligerents them
selves as TO the most reasonable pro.
posals for a basis for peace.
This. In effect, is about all that the
Women's International Conference ac'
complished. The closing session was
very turbulent.
In its official manifesto which was
written by Miss Fearn Andrews, the
congress recommends the holding Of
world wide mass meetings for the
purpose of influencing the press. The
brochure calling for a conference OF
neutrals and continued mediation
without an armistice was introduced
by Miss Wales of the University OF
Wisconsin.
The congress agreed to have the
international convention name two
delegates from each country TO ar
range for another and more represen.
tive congress to be held simultaneous
ly with the next Hague conference.
