Ing desire for conquest to the southeast
is the German military policy during
the entire war.
All of this is taken as revealing the
peril of premature peace which
should leave the German southeast
ern domains unbroken. 1t is regard
ed as giving a sinister color to recent
movements for n separate peace for
Austro- Hungary or Bulgaria, in the
region where German conquest is
most safe. to the eagerness with which
German leaders have taken up the
cry of mo lamentations" SO far as the
great northern powers are concerned,

reichstag speech indicating that the
government was not yet ready to re
nounce its territorial gains in France,
Belgium and Russia while all other
matters are left in suspense"
Any remuneration of territory, 1t is
expected. would exclude Poland. which
would be made a free state" under the

MANY PRESCRIPTIONS

This Season, for Impure Blood,
Weakness, Nervousness, Brain Fag,
In order to comprise the best course
of treatment, and to secure the best
results, should read as follows:
R Hoods Sarsaparilla-11 OF.
Peptiron Pills-180
Sig: One teaspoonful Hoods
Sarsaparilla before meals
Two Peptiron Pills after meals
No better course of medicine can
be recommended by the most skilful,
for Hood S Sarsaparilla is made from
an unsurpassed formula of blood
purifying and stomach-toning rene
dies, including sarsaparilla, man
drake, dandelion, yellow dock, wild
cherry, gentian and other valuable
alternatives and diuretics, while Pept-
iron Pills, named from pepsin and
iron, include also nux and other blood
and stomach tonics which physicians
frequently prescribe.
1t is therefore wise and economical
to- get these two medicines from your
druggist today. The two working
together often give a fourfold bcne-
fit in blood-purifying and building
up the whole general health.

BRANcH MILLS HAS $4,000 FIRE,
General stores and Dwelling Houses De-
stroyed.


General stores and dwelling Houses De-
stroyed.
BRANCH MILLS, PALERMO, April ~.
The general store of F. A. Doe, with all
the stock and the household furnishings
of the Doe family, the general store OF
E. M. Moody and the dwelling house OF
Mrs. Ada Parmenter of Branch Mills,
Palermo, were destroyed by fire Satur-
day morning. the fire starting between
and o'clock in the basement of the Doe
store and amounting to nearly $40, 600
loss. The fire was discovered by Mrs.
Doe, who was awakened by what she
thought was dog out of doors trying to
get in. She arose and went down stairs,
the Doe family occupying the upstairs
rent of the store, and upon opening the
door to the store was met with dense
cloud of smoke. The fire had gained
considerable Roadway before Its discov-
cry and from probable estimates it was
thought to have started in the basement,
the cause being unknown.
The members of the Doe family had
barely time to escape from the burning
building, taking with them what clothes
and other articles they could carry in
their hands. The livestock, including
the horses, were saved from the stable
which adjoined the store, but all the
stock in the store and the furnishings of
the home upstairs were burned. The
stock in the store was valued at about
81, 900 and the store and other furnish
ings at nearly the same amount, placing
the Doe loss at over $1,000 with $1,000
insurance.
The bucket brigade responded quickly
and fought valiantly, but the fire was be-
You'd control. Seeing thatit was going
to spread, the stock from the store of
E. M. Moody, which was nearby, was
removed. The upstairs rent in the
Moody store was unoccupied. The build
ing was owned by the Tobey heirs and
was a total loss at about So, 500 with
$1,000 insurance. The dwelling house
of Mrs. Parmenter next caught fire and
was destroyed Anticipating the wake
of the blaze all of the furnishings in the
Parmenter home were removed. the loss
beirg 1000 with $500 insurance. Mrs.
Parmenter's home was closed as she is
away for the season.
Only through hard fighting were the
Dinsmore mill and the Dinsmore store
across the bridge saved from the fire.
