Perfect Girl" Tells
How to Develop Lines

Boston, Mass.-Margaret Edwards,
the Perfect Girl of California" has
come to Boston.s She has a message
that will interest each and every girl
who wants to be thin and fashionable,
or at least not stout
Eminent scientists all over the
country declare her the most perfectly

was first drilled to $50 feet and from
this depth ordinary sulphur" water
was obtained The drill was then car
ried to depth of 309 feet, where it
encountered a strong mineral water
having a disagreeahle, salty taste. In
order to use both kinds of water an
inner tubing was run nearly to the
bottom of the well. Both this and the
outer casing were connected with
pumps, so that ordinary water and
mineral water can be pumped at the
same time. A favorite joke played on
the visitors is to give them a drink of
the weaker water in the first glass and
to replace it with the brine In the
second.

Margaret and her gracious mother,
who is with her, are not faddists.
Simplicity is their motto. In fact,
Margaret might well be called Little
Miss Simplicity" She does not force
you to diet. She does not prohibit
the stout girl from drinking milk. On
the other hand, Margaret says:
The stout girl may drink all the
milk she wants. l drink a large guam
tity every day. But-she must exer-
else faithfully and vigorously She
may eat the things she likes, too, if
she will only exercise in the morning
and before retiring
Then, too, listen to what this re-
markable young miss-for she's only

nasiums:
The game of basketball is a crime.

Margaret has never worn a corset
and states that she never will. Her
remarkable figure offsets all claims
that the corset is indispensable to the
good-looking figure.

Wheat Scars, Then Drops
Back on News That Door
Is Open For Peace Terms

Chicago, Dec. 19. Excited ad-
vances of more than cents a bushel
to-day in the price of wheat resulted
from reports that the speech of the
British premier in parliament to-day
supported the answer given to Ger
many by Russia and France. On the
bulge, the market reached within n
few cents of the point touched before
the peace proposal was made by Ger
many a week ago.
May delivery, the chief trading
option, ascended to $1.71& q as against
S1.64 y to $1.64A q at yesterdays close,
a jun POT &c to 7Ac. At this stage
selling increased and the market be-
gan to react.
Definite bulletins confirming the re-
ports that the speech of Lloyd George
was not favorable to peace negotia-
tions at present did not lead to any
important fresh advance. Traders ap-
peared to take the view that the
British reply had been sufficiently
paralleled by the action of the mar
ket in recovering about Ice a bushei
since the lowest level which was
touched on Friday.
Brokerage reports later that in dis
cussing Germany's peace offer LLOYD
George had left the door open for
Berlin to make q definite statement of
terms sent the wheat market down
grade rapidly in the last half hour
of trading. May. wheat fell to S1.65 Is

Won Bernstoff Believes
England VIII Not Refuse
to Talk About Peac.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 19.-Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambassa-
dor, said after hearing the first por-
tions of Lloyd Georges speech: That
sounds as if they would not refuse to
talk about peace, anyway"
Every effort it was said would be
made to bring about a conference for
the discussion of terms.
The view was expressed in Teutonic
diplomatic quarters that should Great
Britain and her allies in reply to the
proposals of the central powers ask
that terms be defined, Germany and
her allies would announce that they
would be presented in n peace confer
ence. 1t was added that unless there
were unforeseen developments it was
doubtful that the central powers
would agree TO st down their terms
in a note.
So much of Lloyd Georges speech
as had been received here when the
ca binet met was taken into the meet
ing and discussed by the President
an dhis advisers. No official COM
ment was made, but it seemed that
the general tenor of Lloyd Georges
remarks led officials here to believe
that a discussion of peace was not
entirely out of the question.

genuine proposals, with bases of ma
ture to satisfy the general postulates
of civilization and justice which l
have just mentioned, none would re-
ject them abruptly. But there Is
nothing to show even family that this
is the case, and there are many rea-
sons for believing the contrary.
II do not desire to use exaggerated
language but the accept of boasttulneSs
and the lack of sincerity which char
acteriZe the preamble to the enemyS
note certainly inspire no belief that
these mysterious peace conditions
which the central empires announce
they have the intention of exposing
later on, with the object of guarantee
ing the existence, honor and free de-
velopment of their peoples. do consti-
tute an answer to the postulates we
have laid down."
Vote of Confidence
Baron Sonnino appealed to the de-
puties of all parties, in the words of
Premier BRAND of France, not to per-
NIT the move of the central. powers to
poison the mind of the people" and
urge them to refrain from playing
the enemys game by giving way to
rash or untimely manifestations which
might imply the germs of division and
encouragement. He asked them not
to vote any order of the day which
might let it be supposed that the at
titude of Italy differed from that of
her allies. Amid an outburst of
cheering for Baron Sonnino, the
chamber voted the order of the day
pure and simple, implying confidence
in the government and further ordered
that the foreign minister's speech be
placarded throughout Italy. The vote
on the order of the day was 276 to 40.

Rome Will Not Reject Any
Genuine Peace Proposals
Sonnino Tells Deputies

Rome, Dec. is, via Paris, Dec. 10
Foreign Minister Sonnino said in the
Chamber of Deputies to-day that sew
eral resolutions which had been in
troduced in the chamber in regard to
the peace proposals of the central
supposition that the government had or
would have concrete and precise in
dications as to the bases on which ne
gotiations would be opened

day, this supposition does not corre-
spond with the facts" the foreign
minister continued. There is no
sign of conditions or basis for negotia-
tions in the enemy's note. l possess
no information in regard to eventual
conditions of peace beyond the note
from the enemy which l read in the
chamber.
Should propositions he made sub
sequently we should consider what to
do, but it would be neither practical
nor proper to discuss that question to-
day. Moreover. it should be under
stood clearly that no one of the en-
tente allies could take into consider
alton any condition whatever which
by hypothesis might be eventually Of
fered to him under separate form. In
the public inland and out of respect
to the allied governments, ! cannot
communicate to you anything what
ever as to the substance of the answer
we shall give to the note of the four
enemy powers. Their answer will be
published as it is drawn up.
I'VE all wish peace and lasting
peace. But we consider lasting
peace to be careful settlement whose
duration depends not on the solidarity
of the fetters with which one people is
held subject to another. but on an ex-
act balance among the State, based on
respect for the principal nationalities
rules laid down in the laws of nations
and reasons of humanity and civilza-
ton.

Stock Market PiUots
Around British Attitude

g.. New York, Dec. 19. - The attitude
of the British government towards
Germany's peace proposals was the
pivot around which to-day's stock

world been so directed towards Lon

Stocks were irregular at the OPEN

Capt. De Beauchamp, Who
Bombed Munich After Long
Flight Over Alps, Killed

Paris, Dec. 19.-Captain De Beau
champ, who in November made a fight
to Munich and dropped bombs on the
town, has been killed. He met his end
in an air fight near Douaumont, his
machine falling within tie French
lines. In his flight to Munich, Cap
tain De Beauchamp crossed the Alps
and covered a distance of 437 miles.
Captain De Beauchamp on one oc-
casion dropped bombs on the head
quarters of the German emperor, ac-
cording to the Petit Journal. This
last exploit was performed in April,
1915, when the emperor was stationed
at Mezieres-Charleville The paper
says that the bombs fell right on the
house in which the emperor's staff had
its offices and that as a result the
emperor withdrew six miles from the
city.
