Proposals Not Unexpected.

" ''~HSs"se wv OU0ApeCx0U.
Washington. Aug. l4.--Pope Benc-
diets peace proposals were not uneX-
pectcd to the United States. nor 10
any of the entente allies.
The possibility OF n peace move was
discussed with British Foreign Minis
ter Ralfour and Vice Premier Viviani
when the British and French official
missions were In Washington and ii
was agreed that all the allies, includ-
ing the United States, should refuse
to discuss peace terms while Germany
occupied the territories she had taken
and thereby avoid what the allied
statesmen considered a German trap.
Now the rontiffs proposal presents
the question In a somewhat different
light difficult to meet. perhaps. but It
offers n war weary world a hope for
peace.
Germany and her allies are expected
promptly to accept the pope's pro-
posals American officials acknowledge
that the vatican's proffer Is of n ma
turc calling for II reply, Diplomats OF
the entente circle voice nothing but n
unanimous opinion that 1t will he re-
jected.
Text Not Yet Received.
An unofficial outline of the pope's
communication was received here this
morning. Tonight the official text
had not been received and 1t had not
been established whether 1t would
come through the Spanish ambassa-
dor or the Swiss minister.
The first appraisal OF the proposal
.by officials and diplomats was that II
was another attempt by Germany, this
time working through Austria because
of the latter's close relation to the
Vatican, to accomplish what she failed
in her first offer Of peace---the as
sembling of peace delegates at n
round table conference. where the in
terests Of one ally could be played off

SPRING FEVER
Not Due to Germs From Without But
to Toxic Poisons Within
the Body.

(Ry Dr. Valentine MOTIF
At this time of the year most people
suffer from what we term 'sprinG
fever" because of stagnant condition
of the blood because of the toxic pois-
ons stored UP within the body during
the long winter. We eat too much
meat, with little or no green vegetables
Spinach should be eaten often because
1t contains 33 per cent of iron and
makes for better nutrition OF the blood
Bloodless people, thin, anemic people
those with pale cheeks and lips, who
have poor appetite and feel that
tired, worn or feyerish condition in the
springtime of the year, should try the
refreshing tonic powers of a good alter
alive and blood purifier Such one,
which can heartily recommend, is ex-
tracted from Blood root, Golden Seal
and Stone root, Queens root and Ore
gon Grape root, made up with chemi-
cally pure elycerin and without the
use of alcohol This can be obtained
in ready-to-u form anywhere as
druggists have sold it for fifty years
as Doctor Pteree's Golden Medical Dis
covery. IT is a standard remedy that
can be obtained in tablet or liquid
form.
A good purge should be taken once
a week even by persons who have a
movement daily, in order to eliminate
matter which may remain and cause q
condition of auto intoXication. To clean
the system at least once a week Is to
practice preventive measures. There
is nothing so good for this purpose
as tiny pills made up of the May-apple,
leaves of aloe and jalap and sold by
almost all druggists in this country az
Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.

CHILDREN ARE EAGER
TO AID IN GARDENING
Two Hundred Roosevelt
Pupils Answer Call for
Garden Volunteers.
START SCHOOL EARLY
Those Working in Aiding
Food Production Ex-
cused at Noon.

Two hundred pupils, nearly half the
enrolment in the Roosevelt school, re
sponded to what was, in effect, a call
for garden volunteers yesterday.
Superintendent J. Z. Williams had
offered to begin instruction at O'clock
for all pupils who wished to save
afternoon daylight for work in their
gardens. Practically every pupil in
the upper grades of the school re-
sponded. Under the new arrange
ment every pupil who brings a note
from his parents saying that his help
Is needed in the home garden is re-
leased at noon. Others are excused at
o'clock. This plan will be tried in
the DINER city schools, it is believed
Decision rests with the principals. II
will be continued until backyard gar
dens have all been seeded.
II have been surprised by the inter-
est city school pupils have taken in
gardening this spring" said Superin
tendent Williams yesterday. INSTEAD
OF handlcapping it has actually helped
onass work. Almost every bit OF
language work, for instance. is based
upon gardening experience. AL
themes have to do with planting 20
tatoes or spading. or making seed beds
And because the pupils are interested
their themes are more interesting than
usual.
MANY teachers have inre~ions'N
adapted their arithmetic work 70 the
new interest in GARDENING. Thew lo'
the pupils make their own examples by
computing areas and fence distances
and so forth in their own gardens
Presently, | suppose the prices Of gar

NickeIs, Dimes and Quarters of 1917
Vintage Attracted Attention Of
Secret Service Agents.

The appearance in Carrollton and
vicinity of counterfeit nickels, dimes
and quarters of the 1917 mintage,
shortly after their circulation by the
banks there, has attracted the atten-
ton of federal secret service agents
at Kansas City. Recently a secret
service man, accompanied by Sheriff
]. M. Stonebreaker, raided the cabin
of a man known as RED Buck Ad-
kins, in C~arrollton. Dies correspond
ing to the counterfeit small coins in
circulation were ~confiscated. Adkins
was taken to Kansas City by the fed
eral authorities.
The mystery there is how the coins
were put in circulation as it is claim
ed Adkins never has been out Of Car
roll county until now. He has two
small children. According to the Of
ficers Mrs. Adkins said that the dies
found were made according to her hus-
own ideas. For the past two
years, however, banks there have de-
tected queer small coins in citcula.
ton but suspicion was not directed
toward Adkins until the coins Of 1917

NOT MEASURED BY YEARS
Foolish Idea That Life is Made Real
and Full When Century Mark
Is Reached.

There is a certain fascination
about living a century "a fascination
that easily leads to Justification (.
The glory of the achievement sheds
luster on the remotest connections,
50 that there is always someone to
boast of the feat, and it is one of the
few ways in which any old person
who can last out may bring fame to
posterity, Charles Henry Lerrigo,
NJ. D., writes in the Outlook.

think five weeks more would ha'

an then to have all them years o.

Absurd, Of counsel AS a matter
Of fact, there is no special reason for
up the century post as a
goal. As Prof. Irving Fisher has
pointed out in his famous NReport
on National Vitality the most inn
