PLEA6ES NATION
British Press Raises Chorus
of Approval of Lloyd

London. Eng. Dec. e0.-Premier

peace proposal meets with a chorus Of
approval in the British press and the
general comment is that II Germany

discussion. The Manchester Guardian
says:
Premier Lloyd-George has not shut
the door on peace with that resOund-

balanced supporters in the press have
been listening It Is true he insisted
On the impossibility Of accepting the
German invitation as it stands In this
he was seconded ably by Mr. Asqulth
and will be approved by the country
The German chancellor must be both
more modest and more explicit before
he can expect any favorable answer 10
his Invitation"
True Repatriation Impossible.
IN the truest form, it continues,
reparation is impossible for the
deepest wrongs cannot be unGone-
Security we certainly require, the
Guardian continues The best security
Is the firm, unbrOken front of the al
nance, fortified when the war ends
by a universal league to ENFORCE pSace.
in such a league America would play

No PREPARATION
BELIEVED LIKELY
German Papers Are Not
Sanguine of Peace Being
Effected at Present.

Amsterdam, Holland, Dec. Coon
menting on premier Lloyd-George's
speech, the Tagliche Rundschau OF
Berlin, Germany, says:
Preparation could be demanded by
England only if Germany had declared
7-ar on England. If we were 10 blame
for the war, II We had committed
crimes against international law and r
we had been defeated"
The Lokal Anzeiger takes the view
point that Mr.. LlOyd-GeOrges remarks
about reparation are Of no value mas
much as nothing has been said thus
"a rabOut peace conditions
This newspaper continues
IF Lloyd-GeOrge means 10 postpone

til the time when the entente is sue
cessful in cOnqueTing Germany's armies

OF Europe as well as LlOyd-George
SHOWS full well that this announcement
means eternal war, unless il is IN the
lower Of the German command to
bring il TO an earlier termination than
iloyd-GeOrse supposes."
The Tasleblatt says il prefers to
await the promised reply II the en-
tente. adding
For the present Il appears that the
Euf is very great between Lloyd
George's standpoint and that described

MAKING II PLAIN

The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim
TO protect the public by preventing
mis-statements on the labels Of prepa-
rations but some people continue to
accept "extracts" of cod Ege1s think
ing they viii get the benefits of an
emulsion of cod liver oil.
The difference IS very great. An
"emulsion" contains real cd Hze,, oil
which has had the hearty endorse
ment of the medical profession for
many years, while an extract" is a
product which contains no oil and is
highly alcoholic.
SCOTS Emulsion guarantees the high
est grade of real Norwegian cod Ii5ey oil,
skilfully blended with glycerine and
hypophosphites. Scott is free from the
false stimulation of alcohol and is en-
dorsed by good physicians everywhere.

The origin Of Typography.


About century ago an artist named
Cranch was standing one day in front
of a fire In his home at Administer.
Over the fireplace was an oaken man
telpiece, and it occurred to Cranch
that this expanse Of wood might be
improved by a little ornamentation.
He picked up the poker, heated 1t red
hot and began to sketch bold design.
The result pleased him so much that
he elaborated his work and began to
attempt other fire pictures on panels
of wood. These met with ready sale,
and Cranch soon gave all his time to
his new art. This was the beginning

American Citizens.

In practice there is no slH.h thing as
a "citizen of the United States" Such
Citizen is about as mythical as the
mermaid. In order to vote, for in
stance, one must bring his citizenship
down to the concrete and become a
citizen of New York or Of some one of
the other states. You cannot vote in
New York unless you are citizen of
New York, and the same is true Of all
the other states. The "citizen Of the
United States" Is a very vague gentle
man.-New York American.
