MANY TROUBLESDUE
TO WEAK KIDNEYS

cit 10 no use advertising q medi-
cine unless the medicine itself Is good
enough to back UP the claims you
make for it." said Wilkinson & Co..
the popular druggists, to Gate City
man. ION the other hand it Is .
pleasure to sell medicine when our
customers come in afterward and tell
US how much good 1t has done them.
And that is why we like to sell and
recommend Solvax, the great kidney
remedy. Ever since we first intro
duced Solvax in Keokuk, our clerks
have been so busy selling 1t that we
have hard time keeping sufficient
stock on hand. We have so much
faith in this article that we are going
to guarantee it in the future and will
return the money to any purchaser OF
Solvax whom 1t docs not help. This
may seem rash but our customers
have said 50 many good words in its
favor that we do not expect to have
many packages returned"
THIS shows great faith in Solvax It
really is a most unusual medicine be-
cause 1t overcomes the worst cases Of
kidney complaint by removing the
cause. 1t goes straight to the seat of
the trouble. It soaks right In and
cleans out the kidneys and makes
them pass OF all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter that lodges in
the joints and muscles, causing rheu-
matte pains; soothes and heals the
bladder and quickly ends all such
troubles.
Nothing Is more uncomfortable or
hurts a persons perfect enjoyment of
life more than troublesome kidneys
and their attending evils. Use Solvax
and get your full measure of benefit
out Of life.

Have you noticed the color OF the
paper used by most of the city daily
papers of late? Instead of being white
i. has a yellow tinge. This is due to
the scarcity Of dye materials and is
what we are all coming to In the near
future. Colored print paper used In the
average shop for bill work, ETC., is get
ting scarcer every day and It is only
a question of time when 1t cannot be
obtained at all The colors at present
are decidedly dim and it looks as
thougs the printer was cutting down
on expenses and getting an inferior
grade of paper. Such is not the case,
however, as the poorly-colored stock
of today costs the printer more than
the gaudy colors OF yesterday.

TO DISCUSS PEACE

guarantees" Germany's reply is re.
garded as not only failing to do this,
but her suggestion that the work be
left for the future, it is feared, may
raise a difficult obstacle for the allied
statemen to surmount with their
own people, to whom an absolutely
durable peace has been held out as
one of the main Qualifications of the
war. 1t also has been sheafed by
allied statesmen as part of the terms
which would end the conflict
May Hold Separate Conferences.
However, the very enOrmity. of the
subject, viewed in the cold light of
diplomacy, is regarded here as suf-
ficient to require a separate confer
en4e, but one properly interwined
with the peace meeting. One sugges-
tion is that the conference might
bind all belligerents under solemn
declaration and pledge to carry out
the organization of the international
balance and leave the details for a
separate conference untrammeled by
the difficulties which are sure to
surround the first meeting.
Germany's proposal for can i'm
mediate meeting of delegates at neu-
trail place" IS received as admittedly
much more specific than the original
proposal to center forthwith into
peace negotiations and to go even
further than President Wilson's *lg-
gestion that soundings be taken. This
alone is singled out by those who re-
gard the reply as step toward peace,
despite the repeated declarations of
allied statemen that it was impossible
without a statement of Germany S
terms for them to consider discus
sion Of peace They expect the two
positions, APPARENTLY far apart, 10 he
reconciled by the art of diplomacy
How far the United States can or will
be concerned can only be decided by
President Wilson. Officials assume
that Germany expects the United
States to inform her enemies of hel
reply.

was, of course, a one-piece affair, but
toning in the center back.
Straight-from-the-ne dresses dis
tinguished by plated side panels or
panels of contrasting fabric, and fair
number of little frocls OF the Kate
Greenaway type are also liked.
The little frock shown in the sketch
is the "jaquette" type, short wasted
and demure. Plain and plaid serge or
taffeta may be used for this frock, or
it may be a distinctly summer model,
made of chambray, Bingham or linen.
The dress is of TIE tailored type, there
fore better suited to sturdy material
than to one of the sheer flmSy weaves,
such as wolfe, handkerchief linen, etc.
If desired, two materials or colOrs
may be used, the skirt and sleeves be-
ing of plaid, and the jaquette of one
tone fabric. If this development is
favored, or other trimming is really
required, although braid or narrow vel
vet ribbon may be used if wool or silk
material is selected.
The dress might be made OF white or
colored heavy linen or chambray and
heavy embroidery in conventional de-
sign used to decorate the skirt and
jaquette and smart little pockets.
To make this frock for a child six
years, if only one fabric is used, two
and a half yards, SO inches wide, will
be required. If the jaquette employs
a different material two yards for the
dress and three-quarters of a yard of
material SO inches wide for the ia
quette will be needed.
A study of type, with the idea of
harmoniZing the individual and her
apparel, is quite as important in select
ing the wardrobe of the very young
woman as in choosing clothes for the
grown-up member of the family.
Setting the foundation of good taste
in dressing may begin quite early in
life, with profit to all concerned, and
the question of expenditure plays only
minor part in the final showing.

Their Fear Not Realized.

The, great fear OF those whose act
here in Philadelphia 40 years ago
made this a nation was that the state
would not remain a nation, writer in
the Philadelphia Public Ledger says.
History has proved in their case the
falsity of the epigram:
1.-THE thing you fear will get you
What they feared never happened.
We are young country, but very old
government, as governments go.
Call the roll of the nations and you
will see that a majority of them are
babies beside the United States. ia
pans present imperial regimen is not
half a century old
The house of HOhenzollern Is fairly
ancient, but the German empire is not
yet fifty and the French republic is no
older.
Austria and Hungary were yoked
together long after Franklin told the
signers of the Declaration of Independ-
ence they must all hang together or be
hanged separately.
Italy's kingdom is not half so old as
the United States. Portugals republic
is thing too young to vote, and the
Chinese republic has not yet been
weaned.
All the score of Central and South
American republics are much younger
than is this greatest Of world repub-
lies.
Nearly half the human race has now
copied that lesson which was an
nounced by the Liberty bell.
