Horseshoe Bottom, Ky.-Mrs. I. A. Decker, in telling of her experience with Cardui, says: q started taking it for my back and sides and nervous trouble. My left side and leg seemed to be the seat of my trouble and the pain ran around to my back. I had those pains for about five years. I got so I couldn't walk except by holding to chairs and had to stay in bed great deal for five years.

It seemed as if l began to improve with the very first bottle. I kept on until I took seven or eight bot ties. By that time I was up and do- in my own work.
 I never had any more of those pains for over 10 years. During those 10 years, I seemed perfectly well. . {. Then I got run down again. .. . But I did not wait until l felt as bad as I did before.

HOPE FOR AN EARLY PEACE
 CONFERENCE.

With reports of rioting in Berlin. with the foreign min- ister of the new Russian government. the smashing of the German line Of the western front, and of President Wilson conferring with the Swiss minister, representing the kaiser's interests in this country, there ap- pears to be reason for hope that al early conference for the discussion of peace will be held.
 It is apparent that, excepting the United States, all the lelligerent na- tions are in dire straits, and the statesmen of these nations must realize that to continue the war IS ruthless sacrifice of life and prop erty.
 While it is generally conceded that the war can only end with the tri- pmph of democracy, yet there are many who believe the object sought can be obtained without the cost the crushing of the central pow CTS will entail
 There is hardly any doubt that terms could be agreed upon if the belligerents could be induced to send representatives to a conference World peace can be obtained and as sured without decisive victory. rl,o JY~;@o1 Cfo+oc ,,-iI1 not :. party to any treaty tL;lt is not fait and just to all. German. knows this; the entente nations know it. And the fact that the United States is today in better position than ever to insist upon its ideas of justice probably tends to encourage the desire for I peace conference, especially upon the part of Germany and her allies.

1915, says a bulletin of the United States Geological survey.
 This is notable increase for the whole United States, but the most striking figures are those for Geor- gia and Alabama. In 1915 the pro- duction of bauxite in these two states was 25,00S long tons. The out put was increased to, 46,410 long tons in 1916, a gain of S6 per cent. A large part of this increase is due 60 the operation of new and old mines in central Georgia, notably in Wilkin- son, Meriwether and Sumter coun- ties.
 The production in Arkansas and Tennessee was increased from 272,- O33 long tons in 1915 to 37S,949 long tons in 1916, a gain ot 39 per cent. This increase can be attributed to the great development of the well-known deposits in Arkansas.

Court reporters of Missouri have recently had their salaries increased from $1,5OO to $2,000 a year, and Her. man Da Costa, president of the Mis- souri Shorthand Reporters associa tion, is urging them to use the addl- tional $500 to purchase war bonds of the United States rnment.

TO WAGE "BoNE DRY" FIGHT
Anti-saIoon League Serves Notice
Of Its Intentions.

Elated at their success in the last
session OF Congress, the Anti-Saloon
League of America, through DR.. P,
A Baker, general superintendent, ha.
served notice that the fight hence
forth is a bone dry" one.
DR.. Baker sent a statement to the
National Legislative League here
that he will recommend to that com
mittee and others which will draft
the prohibition measure for the com
ing session of Congress that the
words "for sale" be stricken out OF
the amendment.
This will, IL adopted, effectuaIIy
choke off transportation OF liquor in
States which, though prohibition, now
permit a limited amount to enter. Dr.
Baker declared the main objection TO
this change-refusal of Congressman
from Limited" States to support it
has been overcome by the tremendous
sentiment for "bone dry" measures
in the late Congress.

Everybody has heard of fire drills

But whoever heard of a burglar
drill?"
Probably nobody until today, when
a resident of S street northwest an
nounced that henceforward nightly

The s street resident has three

Handling his dukes" himself, but not
withstanding this apparent prepared
ness for emergencies a burglar en-
tered the home and got away.
The marauder was heard stirring
about the lower floor OF the residence
and the. father and three sons rushed
downstairs to investigate. While the
four men stood near the dining-room
door peering in, the burglar dashed
through the back door and was forth
with shrouded in a mantle of Stygfan
darkness. Whereat the father was
peeved and chagrined.
At the breakfast table this morning
he announced that from now on "bur-
glar drills" would be the order OF the
night with each male occupant of the
house taking his post near a desig-
mated door or window as soon as the
presence OF an intruder was made
known.

FOLLOWED ACTOR
Edmund Hayes, HeadIiner At
Gayety, Taken for Secret
Service Agent.

During his thirty years or more
Edmund Hayes, headliner in "Some
Show," at the Gayety Theater this
week, has impersonated divers and
sundry individuals and personages,
but he never attempted to initiate the
doings of a Secret Service agent.
Accordingly, when last week in
Hoboken he was followed for four
days by Germans, who thought he
was one of Uncle Sans investigators,
it made Edmund Hayes, thirty or
more years old, do some serious
thinking. This week he is Of the
opinion that he will stay away from
German hotels until the war in Eu-
rope is over.
"I asked an employe an innocent
question one night when q lot OF Ger
man sailors from the Vaterland were
sitting and drinking beer" said
Every Man Stopped TaIking.
'I asked him what ship It was over
there in the harbor, and every man
in the house stopped talking and
opened his ears.

the place every day during the week

"One day an employe was kind
enough to tell me what the trouble
was. When he explained to the sail
ors that / was an actor and not
Secret Service agent, they consented
to talk and were friendly.
"I was followed four days by few
German cranks who thought I>was
trying to find out some of their
secrets"
Hayes said the police arrested a
German spy while he was in town.

Hayes has returned to burlesque
this season, after an absence of seven
years. He has played in vaudeville,
stock, and In practically evSry form
OF entertainment.
A thorough sportsman, interested
in every kind of athletics, Hayes has
friends among all professional and
amateur athletics. He was for years
an associate OF James J. Corbett and
Battling Nelson in vaudeville.
Hayes started his career in public
as a wrestler. His home is in New

Musical Programs to Be
Given Here.

brated in the household with a quaint
