Big Loss In Six Months y.
Gus Rose, who has been delegated
by Treasurer Conkling to clarity the

ness places or ventureS for which IL
censes are required are mot on record
as having taken out licenses and have
operated without license.
Mr.. Rose says, this loss may not be
total, as he has assigned Louis Rosa of
his office to investigate outside license
conditions, and believes collections ear
be made on many of the licensed bust,
ness places which are required to pay
licenses but which are not matter OF
record.
Licenses without Authority
In his outside investigations Rosa

mercantile concerns and one barber shor

RUSSIA AND POLAND
UNITED BY WAR
INWITTINGLY KAISER BILL HAS
S0LVEVD ALL POLISH "PROB-
LEMS.'
(By Associated Press)

PETROGRAD, July 31.-Russia' s
new attitude toward Poland is en-
phasized in editorial discussion here
of the forthcoming Russo-Poland con-
ferences under the Craftsmanship OF
the Russian premier, NJ. Goremykin.
The Novoe Vremya speaks of the con
ferences as "a meeting of two fra
ternal nations, Russia and Poland, to
discuss the details of the solution of
the great Polish question" and the
other newspapers take similar
ground of equality and fraternity.
The Vremya's editorial, which re-
fleets the popular viewpoint, says, in
part:
''In reality the Russo-Polish prob
lem, at one time so acute, has been
already solved in the hearts of the
Polish and Russian people alike. 1t re-
mains only to formulate the lines OF
the solutions and fix them in legal en-
actments That which is taking place
in our hearts must be strengthened
and confirmed at Russo-Polish confer
ences. The great faith in US by the
Poles must be justified.
with the first sound of guns on the
Russian frontier, from the moment the
war between Germany and Russia had
been announced, the Slav soul awak-
.ened in the Poles and showed them on
which side they ought to be. 1t was
enough for the Poles to feel themselves
true Slavs for the Polish problem to
become solved of its own accord. AS
if nv magic all the fears of fraternal
conflict between the Russians and the
Poles disappeared There should be
left no ground for any recurrence oil
any disagreements. The old quarrels
based on mutual misunderstanding
must become thing or the past.
"The Germans attack on is has re-
moved at one stroke everything thai
kept the Russians and Poles estranged
The Kaiser has united us, and nov
there can be no room for any griey'
ances or suspicious. The honor o.
Russia and the triumph of Russian
Justice demands free national devel
.opment for the Polish people"

Hines, Ala must confess, says
Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of this place, "tliat
Cardui, the woman'S tonic, has done me
a great deal of good.
Before commenced using Cardui,

tinuously.
Since taking Cardui, | have entirely

If you are victim of any of the numer-

Iieving just such ills, as is proven by the
