VICTORIOUS
TERMINATION
OF THE WAR
Are the Thoughts Of Every One
in France Being Directed
at Present.

NANCY, France. Dec. 9.-"Every-
ones thoughts are directed toward
the victorious termination of the
war. and that unity Of purpose alone
sufficient to create discipline" said
Monsieur Mirman, project of the de-
partment Of Meurthe and Moselle, in
explanation Of what some call tho
new spirit" in France.
Monsieur Mirman has become
widely known through the work he
has done in dangerous post during
the war. He was director of hygiene
ut the ministry of the interior when
the war began and he could have
retained that safe post. but he pre-
ferred to take an active part in
the great tragedy.
Send me to Nancy" he asked Of
Minister Malvy, when he learned that
the perfect of Meurthe and Moselle
and fallen Ill. ITO Nancy? 1t is a
question whether you can get there
ahead Of the Germans" he was told
1T the ministry. He was given the
chance and he arrived in the an
cient capital of Lorraine on the his
toric day. August 4, 1914, while
the sacred union" was being con-
secrated in the French parliament.
He lived with his family through
all the anxious moments Of the bat
ties Of Morhange. Of Nancy and Of
the Marine. During the critical
hours from August % to August
"a. when 1t was expected that the
city might at any minute be oc-
cupied by the Germans, Moncieur
Mirman and Madame Mirman were
conspicuous in tho rue Saint-Jean
making the perfect calls their "diplo-
matte promenades." The cannon
thundered ominously and unceasing-
~. yet the population, seeing Mon
sieur 10 Perfect" and Madame la
Perfect" calmly examining the
goods displayed in the principal
shop windows, went quietly and re-
siguedly about their various occupa-
\ lions. There was never the slightest
panic and at the most critical mo-
ment on August "a, less than 5000
of the 10000 inhabitants left the
city for the interior.
The last shots of the battles Of
Nancy, or the battle of Metz as the
Germans call 1t, and the battle Of the
Marne had scarcely been fired before

retreating Germans. set about maxi

Il was completely laid up with in
fammatory rheumatism. tried sever
al different medicines, and employed a
skilful doctor. but did not get any bet
ter. Having known about Hoods Sar-
saparilla for fifteen years, I concluded
to give it trial. After taking the first
bottle l began to improve, so I took
several bottles more, and was entirely
cured. ! have the utmost confidence
in this medicine as blood purifier and
spring tonic"
Rheumatism depends. on uric acid in
the blood, and thousands of cases have
been successfully treated with Hoods
Sarsaparilla which purifies and en-
riches the blood and builds up the
whole system.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar
combination Of blood and
strength giving substances. No other
medicine has the same formula or in
gradients. 1t is an all-the- year-round
constitutional remedy and the best
spring medicine.
Accept no substitute, but get Hoods
