FOUR-FOLD BENEFIT

From Two Grand Medicines in Spring
You know that physicians often give
two prescriptions, perhaps more, or med
icines to be taken together, or alternate
ly or at different times.
One reason may be that the medicines
are Incompatible not agree when
closely mixed in taking-or that desired
results cannot be secured by one mcdi-
cine alone
The most successful combination spring
medicine treatment that we know Of
because perfectly compatible" and pro
ductive Of the best results--is in Hoods
Sarsaparilla and peptiron Pills. The
former thoroughly searches out and ex-
pels impurities from the blood, while
Peptiron Pills give the powerful tonic

Hoods Sarsaparilla should be taken

economical and pleasant to take.-Adv.

REVIVING
PEACE TALK
Germany Launches Scheme
to Force Peace Action
by the Allies
HOPE FOR PACT
WITH RUSSIA
Suggests Visit to The Hague
by Colonel E. M.
House

Copenhagen, April l7.---Germany is Sc
cretly seeking to revive peace talk in al
belligerent countries.
She asks peace-still on her own terms
- though doubtless somewhat amended
In December Germany asked peace and
was refused. Now she is planning tc
maneuver the allies into asking her for
peace.
The scheme as established by informa-
tion from high sources here Yesterday is
an ambitions one and world wide in its
scope.
Positive confirmation of unofficial over
lures from Berlin 10 the United States,
as reported in United Press dispatches
last Thursday, was obtained yesterday.
The hint came even stronger from Ger
man sources that the United States
would do well TO send Col +. M. House
to The Hague for conference with Ger
man representatives.
The main intrigue, however. whereby
Germany hopes TO start movement for
her enemies to ask Berlin for peace was
being exerted through German
Socialists. Suddenly Socialists in the
Teutonic empire have become favored
Their leaders have been as
siduously cultivated by German officials.
The German censorship has been IN
precedently looeened to permit their com
with Socialists in such en-
envy countries as Russia. Most of all,
the drastic German rules prohibiting de-
parture of her men from the empire and
Of holding communication with enemy
,itizens has been formally raised to per-
nit the departure of Philip Scheidemann
md other Socialists for conferences with
Socialist comrades of enemy nations.
The Russian government may not be
alling in with Germany's plans, but GER
ainly Russian ultra Socialists have been
with German Socialists
md some Russian radicals have left for |
conferences with Germans.
Germany is evidently exerting tremen |
Ious pressure through use of her Social |
SITS, for a separate peace with Russia. |
That may be the main part OF her peace
'lotting. But the feelers encountered |
'esterday indicated this as only a part |
+ the German scheme TO obtain a strate
tic position. II was noted in all the |
'eaee "feelers" Germany Is carefully |
voiding any mention of terms.
In the meantime, German newspapers,
n obviously inspired articles, are reiter
ting that Germany cannot make any
important concessions from the terms un-
flicially noised about at the time of Won
'ethmann Hollweg's proffer in December.
The Danish foreign office yesterday
ormally declared Danish Socialists were
OF participants in the supposed Social
Il conferences.
