PLAN SUGGESTED TO
 END EUROPEAN WAR
Resolution Introduced in U. 5. Senate to Pave Way For Terms of Peace in Europe.

Washington, May BOA re- solution requesting President Wilson, unless incompatible with the public interest, to sug- gest to warning nations of Eu- ope that the United Statesmed- iate between the combatants has been introduced in the sen ate by Senator Lewis.
 The resolution would auth orize the president to propose that the belligerents declare a truce and that each of them select a neutral country as it's representative on board of arbitration thus created; each selected neutral would name one member of the board over which would be authorized to arrive at an equitable adjust Iment.
 The resolution recites that 1t is suggested as an expression of the desire for world peace and not of fav0ritism for any of the belligerents.
 President Wilson told callers that the intervention of a neu- tral in behalf of peace in Flu rope could rest only on a mu- tual understanding by the bel ligerents that terms to be ar ranged are to conserve the in- terests of all, and of the world at large, rather than those of a particular nation or group of nations among the warning 1 powers.
 President Wilson did not dis close any definite plan ofaction he may have formulated in re- gard to peace, nor authorize a formal statement of his atti- tude.

E YEAR OLD LAD
 SAVES TWO LIVES
Pope County Boy Rescues Mother and Sister From Burning Building.

Russellville, May 30.-An act of herioism which will be reported to the Carnegie Hero Commission was performed by 15-year-old Julius Mathis in the vicinity of Piney, near the western border of Pope county, last week. The boys mother, Mrs. E. Mathis, was at home with her seven children when the house caught fire while they were sleeping. The mother was first to awaken and discov- CT the flames, and she and Jul jus made their escape with five smaller children. The roof was crumbling in when it was dis covered that the eldest daugh- ter, 13 years old, was missing. The mother returned to the burning building. When she did not return promptly Julius cautioned the five smaller children to remain at a safe dis tance, and go to the nearest neighbor's if he did not return, and then plunged into the crumbling building to the res cue. He found his mother lying prone across the body of her daughter, both unconscious. With an effort born of despair, the boy dragged them both to safety, and then fell complete ly exhausted from his task. He was burned nearly all over his body, but soon regained con- sciousness and turned his at- tention to resuscitating the mother and sister, both of whom were badly burned.

EXERCISE AND
 GRECIAN BEAUTY
WHAT IT MEANS.

Many thousands of women are now a-days paying attention to physical cul- ture and the proper exercise ot their body muscles, where, thirty years ago or fifty years ago there was no thought expended on this science which is quite necessary to physical beauty. The reason the Greeks, both men and women, excelled in beautiful and sym metrical forms was because of the at tention they paid to the proper exer- else. Then, too, they were untram- meled by corsets, shoes and the in- conveniences of clothing. To the minds of some women the idea of physical exercise conveys only the idea of hard fatiguing work. Mild exercise con- tinued day after day Is best for the body and spirits and health. With health, and without health there can be no real beauty.
 There IS no stronger proof of the sound remedial value of Dr. Pierce's Fayorite Prescription than that 1t re. stores the wasted form to its wontet roundness.
