ates a submarine campaign in close prox-
unity to American waters, and its results
seriously impair the foreign commerce of
the United States this government may
send an identic note to the allied govern

would inform them that belligerent naval
operations in close proximity to- Amer
ican waters would be considered an un-
friendly act by the United States. although
such operations would not be an infrac-
ton of international law.
A. note OF this character would have a
precedent in the note sent TO France dur

French war vessels hovered or American

THE ONE TO HELP
WASPLANT juice
Mrs. Reed Tried Them All, but
the Only One to Give Relief
Was Plant Juice.

To all who suffer from the symptoms
OF deranged stomach, liver and kid
ney trouble, or rheumatism, immediate
relief is at hand in the use Of Plant
Juice, the new herbal stomach remedy
Nothing that science has put forth
from the laboratory Of Nature has SC
quickly sprung into worldwide fame
and prominence as has this prepara-
tion. Wherever introduced, 1t has
taken immediate hold on. the public
and brought forth words Of praise
from people in all stations of life. II
does all that Is claimed for II and
more, as verified by the signed state
ments Of well-known local people. Pos
sibly your next-door neighbor has
proven that this remarkable remedy
has been wonderfully successful as a
germ-destroyer, tissue-builder and q
builder-up Of wasted organs.
For instance, the signed testimonial
Of Mrs. F. c. Reed, who resides on
Belair road, in Baltimore County, and
is a well-known lady Of that vicinity
was received. She stated:
For about a year have been trou-
bled with nervous Indigestion; I could
not digest my food and 1t would sour
on my stomach and cause gas to form
and I suffered agony after eating: I
was so nervous I could not sleep at
night and got very weak and run
down I had tried numbers of medI-
cines, but none OF them seemed to
help me, and the only real beneft I
got was when began to take your
Plant Juice. I find now that my food
agrees with me, I sleep well, and, am
able to get a good nights sleep. i
am not so nervous as I ives and am
glad to recommend Plant Juice to 9TH
ers, who suffer as I did"
Plant Juice acts like magic in stora-
ach trouble, gas, fermentation, heavy,
distressed feeling after meals and on
retiring. It attacks and destroys all
poisons in the blood. corrects diseased
conditions Of the liver and kidneys
and restores them to normal condition.

Women should be especially careful
under this sway, for they may be in
clined toward romance at a time whsn
deception Is easy and treachery more
common than during other confgura-
tons
There is sign pointing toward danger
in an access OF sentimentality among
men and women. This will affect the
weaker sex more seriously than the
stronger, causing an aggressiveness that
is OF serious import.
Writers of every class should benefit
while Mercury is friendly. A new school
Of literature will develop rapidly and its
first representative will gain recognition
in the next year, the seers announce.
Advertising has the best possible d.
rection and through the coming months
magazines and newspapers should benefit

bring prosperity in many lines of busi-
ness.
1taly PERSIA, Russia and places under

trouble through discomfort of the people
who may produce conditions of anarchy.
The stars seem to indicate a growing
discomfort among the inhabitants Of the
warning countries, who will become
restive and even riotous as the new year
advances.

has been brought about principally
through the instrumentality Of Psymaster
C. P. Peoples, assistant to the Bureau of
Supplies and Accounts. who has Just re-
turned from Newfoundland.
The work Of salvaging the tug gave
rise to many claims. which had been
pending for more than two years. The

make q personal investigation as a basis
