A Fine Record

About SO years ago, DR.. Mulholland
prescribed certain medicine with such
good effects that he carefully studied
its action during several years, finally
developing a formula which he pro-
nounced perfect. When the old doc
tor died, his son (also doctor), con-
tinued to send this medicine to people
in all parts Of the United States, even
to foreign countries. The only pub
licity ever given this medicine before
has been by one person telling another
OF its value, and 1t has been sold con-
stantly for about FIFTY YEARS.

MAY
GET HIGH PLACE

Copenhagen, May Either Ger
manys war managers are playing
their shrewdest publicity game since
the war began, for the purpose Of
causing a relaxation Of Americas war
preparations, or Germany is actually
beset by the worst internal dissentions
any belligerent has been compelled
to deal with in that time.
Private advices carry the broad
hint that one solution may be the ap-
pointment OF Count Won Bernstortf,
former German ar aassador to Amer
lea, as successor to Foreign Secretary
Alfred Zimmermann
The fact that such Information came
through seemingly authentic channels
and was accompanied by vast
amount of other reports OF dissen-
sions. permits two c3nslusions
One may be that Germany is actual.
ly sorely tried
The other is that she is playing a
deep game-the idea being to lull
America into belief that dissolution Of
Germany may be near, that conditions
in the empire indicate no necessity
for much war preparation Such a
move would be in line with other plays
for time, which Germany has regular
ly practiced.
