NO PEACE UNTIL ALLIES CAN
DICTATE THE TERMS?
Washington, Dec. 1s-United
States officials are convinced there
can be no formal discussion of peace
until Germany and Austria avew
their willingness to restore Belgium
and Serbia and until all nations in
volved are ready to disarm on rather
large scale. 80
In his forthcoming speech Premier
Lloyd-George of England is expected
to insist on such terms as a fUnda-
mental ground work for any formal
parleys and such action on his part
would serve to pass the buck" back
to Germany.
Moreover, officials believe he will
outline fully what the allies are
fighting for, but in no circumstances
will he voice a scOrnful or fiat rejec-
ton of the German offers.
London.-When Premier Lloyd
George addresses parliament tomor-
row and outlines policy Of his govern
ment he will find pulse of British peo-
pie beating in unison with that of

Interest is intense here today in
reply premier will make to Beth
-HoIlweg's peace proposals and
his discussion of food problem and
question of man power.
Temper of British people toward
peace was indicated when huge mob

A plain little everyday dress of
corded madras, designed for wear in
the coming summer, presents little
novelty as to cut but reflects a feature
or two OF the styles for spring. These
are seen in the tightening and lifting
of the belt. in the suggestion OF
square opening at the neck and in the
introduction of bit of hemstitching.
Every mother who makes her chill
dren's clothes is familiar with the ad-
vantages OF this pattern in which the
short sleeves are cut i'm one piece with
the garment. Using for 1t the ordinary
fabrics which make up the daily wear
of little folks-chambrays gingham,
linen, etc.-it is possible to vary the
dresses by varying the details of fin
ishing. Combinations Of striped and
plain materials, the use of bright but
tons. outline embroidery and the in
PRODUCTION OF ornamental stitches in
coarse yarns are much in evidence on
the model dresses already on display.
A variety of pockets put on In va
riety OF positions attest to the re-
sourcefulness OF designers in their at
tempts to give each dress individu-
ality.

SHOWING CHANGE IN TIMES
Historical Researches as to Status of
the After-Dinner Speaker Are
Somewhat Interesting.
Bridgeport

James G. Cleary, the well-known
New York lawyer and after-dinner
speaker. while speaking at banquet
OF hotel men in Boston, recently, re-
ferred TO the "after-dinner speech" in
this wise:
II had occasion not long ago to con-
duct some little research into the orig
in, history, cause and effect of the
after-dinner speech, and | was some
what surprised to find that during the
feudal days OF England and also in
Rome in the reign of Nero the object
and purpose Of the after-dinner speech
were entirely different from what they
are today. In those days It was con-
sdered and used exclusively as
barometer to indicate the mental and
physical condition OF the speaker. In
other words. il the speaker, after
spending an hour or perhaps several
hours at the festal board, with convi-
vial and other spirits, could then stand
upon his feet and talk intelligently, or
even coherently, he was considered
to have demonstrated staying quail
ties Of An exceptionally high order.
In the course of time, however, the
purpose of the after-dinner speech un-
derwent a radical change, and now.
instead of being used to indicate the
condition of the speaker It has be-
come a test Of the physical endurance
of the audience"

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS

Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu-

for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass II on to the bladder.
where 1t often remains to irritate and
infiame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck OF the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding II.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
It, because they can't control urina-
tion. While 1t is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
OF Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine 80 It no
longer is a source OF irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands Of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant. efferves-
cent lithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.

that seams are on the diagonal
few skirts are cut with several cores
and the stripes matched in points at
the seams. In spite OF the prevalent
fullness many OF these skirts are
smooth'fitting about the hips, cut on a
circular pattern that gives them am
pie width at the bottom and full rip
pie below the hips.
The skirt shown above is made OF
a light weight woolen cloth in gray
with white cross bar. The seam down
the front is cut on the diagonal with
bars carefully matched. Fullness is
introduced at each side by two plaits
and at the back by a triple boxplait.
The double belt and the facing at the
bottom are of the same material as
the skirt.
These skirts are worn with short
belted coats in a plain color and with
silk or lingerie blouses.

Real Harm in Smoking.

Scientists at the Paris medical col
lege have found by series of expert
ments that, as Psychologists have long
asserted, tobacco s'aoke has an injuri-
Gus effect on the heart, but that this
effect is not dependent on the amount
Of nicotine contained in the tobacco; ;
In fact, smoke from the combustion bf
materials other than tobacco appeared
to be about as harmful. The 6eleteri-
Gus effects are attributed to the null
tiple products OF combustion in the
smoke

That the silent policeman at the
junction Of Water and Bridge streets
is generally needed can be easily seen
by standing for five minutes at any
time and on any of the four corners
and watching the teams and automo-
biles pass. When the device was first
placed there and until people grew to
know what it was for, the officer sta
toned there had his hands full in max
ing traffic go to the right, but this was
learned quickly, and it is now very sell
dom that a team or car goes or tries to
go the wrong way. Another advantage
OF the device is that 1t prevents auto
mobiles from taking the corners at
breakneck speed, as they have to slow
down on approaching it, and when they
come to make the turn it has to be
made slowly. At the meeting Monday
evening OF the city council the COM
mittee on highways and sewers was
authorized to purchase a number of
traffic regulating devices to be placed
at the junction Of various streets,
which movement will doubtless prove
as popular as is the one mentioned
above

It is rather difficult to tell this story
and do justice to all phases, mixture
of apparently absolute disregard of the
laws Of this State with an equally
large amount Of ignorance Of the same
laws showing in the affair 1t may have
been started as a joke, but those con-
nected will probably find it anything
but Of that nature before they are
through with it.
Some summer visitors in the Range
ley region have recently had imported
into the State of Maine from Colorado
four coyotes and established that par
ticularly undesirable breed of the most
worthless and dispicab BILE kind of ver-
min existing on the American CONT
nent near their summer home. They
did this without permission from tho
Maine Inland Fish and Game Commits
sion and that part of the government
of the State Of Maine has some pretty
rigid law on that point to be found or
Page ~ of the Maine Inland Fish and
Game Laws. 1856 Revision, as fol-
lows:
Section 52-Whoever introduces any
wild animal Of any kind or species into
the State, except upon written permits
sion Of the commissioners Of inland
fisheries and game, shall forfeit not
n n
five hundred dollars for each offense. l..
The second chapter opens with the
escape of the coyotes from the home
provided by their friends aid protect
ors and, so far as the information re-
ceived at the Office of the commission
is concerned, are still at large, prob
ably roaming about seeking a desirable
location for a permanent home, where
they may be perpetually free from the
Colorado term of vermin and the boun-
" which exists in that state upon eaoh
and every member of that vermin fam
lily.
After those fine specimens of pets
had been at large for a week or 10
days, word of the matter IGached the
ears of Game Warden Lowell, who has
thoroughly Investigated it. 1t is under
stood that the summer visitors who
are guilty OF bringing the vermin into
the State have begun to realize that
the act is not really appreciated as one
OF benefit to Maine and have offered a
reward of $40 for the recovery of the
vermin.
