The Glory of
Good Looks

The Hupmobile will always be
sold On performance. From
New York to San Francisco,
and back, dealers will continue
to court competitive tests.
Owners will continue to boastof
the superiority of their car.
But a new glory is added-the
glory of extraordinary good
looks and social distinction.
The Show will not disclose an
equal value. Looking a year
ahead, nothing equals in sight.

More than $4,000 spent for

Engine Fit For

(among them a leading car

motor "a power plant fit for a

They said we could cheaper the

But we refused to take the OBJ

dollars spent in factory-savlng

us than lowering Hupmobile

SWITZERLAND HAS
 TOO MANY RUMORS
Considerable Peace Talk But No
 Peace Settlement Yet

Berne, Nov. 19.-(Corresponde of The Associated Press)-About the only thing that Switzerland has too much of is peace rumors. Travellers who come from Germany France. Austria and Italy say these countries, too, are full of talk about the confer ences that are supposed to be going on constantly here between 'personali- ties'' from the Entente and the Gen. tral powers.
 An American, who. because of his prominence in local affairs, must be nameless, sums up the actual Situa- tion, as the correspondent has found it also, when he points out that the presence of notables from belligerent countries must not be regarded as sig nif1cant because, while they may come here to feel out'' the sentiment of the other side, they are not often genuine peace envoys.
 Any proposition which any govern ment is willing to advance, Or to ac- cept, can be stated by any agent whose presence here is not even noted and who is without authority to do more than deliver or listen to a pro- posal. No one has been compromised, particularly no one has exhibited signs of weakness by advancing terms
 That such tentative "feelers'' have been put out repeatedly seems be- yond doubt, but it is not those who have caused the ever-recurring peace rumors to circulate, but rather the presence from time to time of ma tional characters from either side. The facts seem to indicate that, if

SIDE TALKS
The Curse of A Bad Beginning
BY RU~ CAMERON

AS an inevitable result I was tardy with my morning work eff you lose an hour in the morning you will be trying to find it all day') late with my afternoon appointments; and out of tune with the universe by night. I went to bed feeling a sense of rest less ;ssatisfaction which comes oyer one when one has had a day of Cropped stitches.
 And all because I made a bad be- ginning.
 If We Only Had 8 Valet! There was once some great man (St Simon I think) who had his valet awake him with the words, Mon sieur you have great things to do to- day."s Most of us are so handicapped with the lack of a valet that we can- not make this suspicious beginning. But we can all get up when we are called, dress without dwaddiing, brin 2 a pleasant morning face to the break fast table, withhold all mention of our adventures in indigestion or the quail lty of our nights sleep; use the morn- ig paper as vitalized glimpse into the bigger world instead of screen between ourselves and our duties; lastly go at our housework promptly If housework be our lot or catch our morning car without having to run for it, if morning cars be our lot
 The day SD begun may go wrong but 1t has ten times as much charce Of being a satisfactory, accomplished daY-the kind that gave the village blacksmith a lien on a nights repose as the day s]ackly begun.

peace negotiations actually are going on, they are privately conducted, for their respective governments. by un pretentious and more Or less unoffi- cial persons.
 One American asserts that he has acted as a peace emissary'' for the Entente, and in this capacity met a German of inconspicuous station who, the American was given to believe, was prepared to make a peace pro- posal. The two met, the German ex- p1ained that he understood he was to receive, rather than submit, a peace plan. Convinced that there had been misunderstanding, neither would or could talk business" and so they shook hands and left
 Matthias Erzberger, the German Centrist deputy, time "uncrowned king behind the Prussian throne,' is quoted as having said he had had an interview with an English peace agent But it is believed here that Erzberger's conferee was one of the unofficial kind.
 Something like three years of this diet of peace rumors has left the ma jority of Swiss pessimistic. Mention reace and the average Swiss shakes his head sadly. Roll d few big and imposing names from NOur tongue and he becomes positively gloomy. for he is like the child who has once been burned by the fire-and has learned the utter futility of setting any store by the presence of various big char acterS from all nations who, at one time or another have been here-or have been said to be here

What Necessity Caused Lillian t

DlSCKOSC UO NAAO&C.
 For a. minute, which seemed an eternity. Lillian Underwood, Rather inc Sonnot and I stood huddled to- gether and motionless behind the se- cret wainscoted opening which con- nected the closet off her library with a similar one in the house next door to her. Then Lillian, with infinite > pains, noiselessly closed the opening fagain, and we retreated from the closet of the house next door into the room which was hung. with so many feminine costumes of every degree or cost and fashion.
 Lillian's face was pale, and l unoer- stood the fear that had taken pos session of her at the rustic ana sou1o of the closing door.
 The passage from her library to the house next door was secret known to no other member of her housenolo' And in all probability there were val uable> papers concealed in that Won- derful library of hers. She had locKeo the outer door behind her when we .tole out through the closet and both Betty and the nurse attending m- yalided old Mrs. Morton supposed us to have gone out by the front door. And vet there was someone in that Nbrary, or someone had just left 1t.
 "Girls!" Lllian's voice was whisper, but an imperative one. Il shall have to leave you here TOT few minutes locked into the closet on this side.

MEAT CAUSE OF LAME BACK AND
 KIDNEY TROUBLE Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kid neys If Your Back
 Is Aching. Noted Authority Says Uric Acid From Meat Irritates
 the Bladder.

Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their ef- forts to filter it from the system. Reg ular eaters of meat must flush the kid neys occasionally. You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; re- moving all the acids waste and poison, else you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic tWinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment: the channels often get irritated, abliging you to get up two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take table spoonful in glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink which millions of men and women take now and then thus avoid ing serious kidney and bladder | diseases.
