 Until that moment arrives you will fight on."
 Austrian Statement.
 An official Austrian statement re- ferring to the peace offer says:
 'When in the summer of 1914 the patience of Austria Hungary was ex- hausted by series of systematically continued and ever-increasing provo cations and, menaces to the monar- chy, after almost 50 years of unbro- ken peace, found itself compelled to draw the sword, this weighty deci- sion was animated neither by, ag- gressive purposes nor by designs of conquest, but solely by the bitter ne- cessity of defense"

PEACE TALK PUTS COTTON PRICE UP,
 AND WHEAT DOWN

New Orleans, Dec. 12.-Great firm ness developed in cotton here this af- ternoon, following an early period of a sudden large demand for contracts from short sellers of yesterday, and prices were lifted 43 to 65 points, more than $3.25 bale over yester- days close.
 Last prices showed net gain of 40 to 65 points. News of Germany's peace proposal will not have not able effect on this market. 1mmedi- ately after the, report was received, the market fell about 10 points, but this was followed by an up turn of 20 points. Reports of strong spot situ- ation appeared to be the inspiration of the sudden buying.
 Wheat Takes a Tumble. Chicago, Dec. 12-Wheat prices plunged wildly downward twice to- day, first on account of Germany's reported overtures for peace and later owing to traders assumption that the character of the terms reported of- fered would bring about an accept ance.
 Extreme breaks in prices reached II IA cents bushel, and were ac- companied by transactions amounting to millions of bushels. Closing quota tions were at nearly the bottom level, the market as a whole being 7-8 to 10 3-4 under yesterdays close, with May at 1.65 1-2 to 1.65 3-4 and July 1 AZ 3-4 to 1.43.
 Corn and oats felt the effect of the peace news to a much less extent, for the reason that much smaller per- centage of the coarse grains have been exported.
 Pork and ribs remained stable, while lard was steady.

An Easy Way to
Increase Weight
Good Advice For Thin Folks

The trouble with most thin folks who
wish to gain weight is that they insist
on drugging their stomach or stuffing
IL with greasy foods; rubbing on use
less flesh creams" or following some
foolish physical culture stunt -whiIe-the
real cause of thinness goes untouched
You cannot get fat until your digestive
tract assimilates the food you eat
There is a preparation known to re-
liable druggists almost everywhere
which seemingly embodies the missing
gans to help them convert food into
rich, fat-laden blood. This modern
treatment is called Sargol and mas been
termed the greatest of flesh builders
Sargol aims through regeneratlun re-
construction powers to coax the stom-
ach and intestines to literally soak IN
the fattening elements of your food and
pass them into the blood, where they
arc carried to the starved, broken-dow
cells and tissues of your body. You can
readily picture what result this amaz-
ing transformation should produce as
with Increased weight the cheeks fiji
out, hollows about neck shoulders and
bust disappear and from 10 to 20 pounds
of solid, healthy flesh is added to the
body. Sargol Is absolutely harmless, in
other leading druggists of this Vicinity
have 1t and will refund your money
81 you are not satisfied. as per the
guarantee found in every package.
NOTE:-Sargol Is recommended only
as a flesh builder and while excellent
results In cases of nervous indigestion,
etc, have been reported care should be
taken about using 1t unless a gain of
weight is desired.

Judge Kunkel and Mr.. SeitZ dis
cussed at some length the provisions
of the old law which prohibited any
allowance for damages for improve
ments after 1871. Judge Kunkel asked
IL the law didn't seem pretty hard
that would deprive an owner of prop
erty from the enjoyment of it," Mr..
Seitz pointed out that this was the law.
however, which had been sustained by
the appellate courts.
The Problem of Damages
Suppose the house falls down over
his head?" asked the Judge.
We've allowed for that, sir" an
swered the solicitor when he gave
full and fair market value where there
was even suggestion of a foundation
upon which any improvement had been
made. The question resolves itself en-
tirely TO one of 'unearned increment"
How many" counterquestioned Mr..
SeitZ, have let their properties lie
until sold for the accumulation of
taxes, then buy in the properties and
make fortunes of them? Why should
the public, the other taxpayers of the
city. your Honor, be made to pay for
this? Why should you and 1 go down
into our pockets for this purpose?
The City's Disposition
There is no disposition on the part
OF the city to deprive these people of
Hardscrabble' OF a single dollar of
what is due them.
Why is the proceeding under which
this view was made illegal? Why
should these people say some other
proceeding could have been followed
which would enable them to put hand
some values on their properties? To
my mind such an action amounts In a
measure to confiscation of public
money"
The question was also threshed out
as to whether or not the city admitted
that the section of Front street in uues-
ton had been officially opened to its
present width when the municipality
assessed abuttlng owners for paving.
This was one point upon which the ex-
ceptants had centered their guns.
The Paving Question
Was Front street never opened be-
fore?" inquired Judge Kunkel.
Never"
How did you pave it?"

New England Remedy
For Coughs and Colds
VIII Stop a Bad Cough, or Money Back,
Says G. A. GOrgas

At this season of the year most any
one is apt to take cold very easily, and
people cannot be too careful. Always
take prompt treatment for a cough, for
il neglected there is no telling what it
may lead to. But while there are cough
drops, cough syrups and cough medi-
cines almost without number. there Is
only one we know Of sold on positive
guarantee that IL will break UP and
stop a cough or money back. This is
the unusual and liberal plan on which
G. A. Gorgas Drug Co. and other lead
ing druggists in this city and vicinity
are selling the New England throat and
lung remedy, OXidaZe. and it's prompt
use on this protection to purchaser
plan has without doubt not only stopped
hundreds of persistent coughs, but, bet
ter yet, prevented them from finally
weakening the lungs or bringing on
Pneumonia. Nothing better, we be-
lieve, has ever been discovered for the
treatment of throat, lung and bronchial
affections, asthma and threatened
tuberculosis. Ordinary simple coughs
can often be stopped over night while
n complete package (ninety tablets) is
guaranteed to stop the cough or money
back. Get a bottle from your druggist
to-day on this guarantees; let one of
the tablets slowly dissolve in your
mouth every two hours and see for
yourself how quickly the cough that
may have been hanging on for weeks
will vanish. They are pleasant to take,
not expensive, and contain no danger
