Observation-Disclosures from Berlin
10 the German embassy state that Ger.
many's peace terms, in general meas
ure, propose the restoration Of the
status quo before the war with the ex'
ception of the establishment of indie
pendent kingdoms of Poland and Lith-
uania. They are understood to pro,
pose the complete restoration of Bel
GUM and France in return for Ger.
many's captured colonies, and to dis
pose of the Balkan situation, because
of its extremely complicated nature,
in the peace conference.
1t was indicated that while the Ger.
man allies might not entirely expect
that the proposals would cause a peace
conference, they were hopeful at least
that they would be the means of get
ting the ~belligerents together in some
manner to discuss the situation, and
this, 1t was expected, would lead to
peace.
Another object, 1t is explained Dy
German diplomats, is to learn whether
the entente allies are willing to make
peace or whether it is their intention
to crush Germany and dismember her.
Germany, they say, is convinced of the
ability and strength Of her enemies
to continue the war for ten years If
necessary, and is no less confident OF
her own ability to do so.

ROAD TO HEALTH IS
THROUGH THE KIDNEYS

No person alive Is stronger than
his kidneys. The minute the kidneys
become disarranged or clogged with
waste the warning is flashed through
out the entire system The greater
part Of all sickness today can be
avoided by keeping the kidneys work
ing properly.
Wilkinson & Co.. the popular drug
gist, can tell you of many we1l-known
people in this city, whom Solvax, the
standard kidney remedy, has restored
to health, often after they have tried
many other methods of treatment
with little or no benefit.
There are hundreds of people in
Keokuk who were not the least bit
surprised when they read in The
edy Is guaranteed to help the worst
Gate City that Wilkinson & Co. are
selling Solvax on a guarantee to re-
fund the money in case 1t did not re-
lieve. This remarkable kidney REM
case OF lazy, sluggish, or clogged-up
kidneys, or the general headachy, kin
ky-backed, pIayed-out condition that
afflicts people suffering with kidney
trouble. Solvax does not simply re-
lieve. 1t aims to cure.
The best kind Of advertising Is the
praise of pleased customer, and
there are hundreds in Keokuk today
praising SolvaX because it does what
1t Is advertised to do. Not very long
ago they were afflicted with all man
ner of sickish, uncomfortable pains
and each day seemed to bring with It
a new ache in some other part Of their
body. Since using Solvax they are
once more bright and clipper and
able to enjoy life at its fullest with
no more fear Of suffering.
No other kidney remedy has made
such a large percentage Of cures as
Solvax. It Is so large that Wilkinson
& Co., is perfectly safe in standing
ready to refund the price to any Gus
toner whom it does not help. This Is
good time to get we'll and you ought
to take advantage of Wilkinson G.
