On the other hand, the question of
whether the government played its
cards we'll. whether it gave sufficient
publicity to what it was doing in the
councils of the allies, or whether it
was in defenseless position because
it's critics could talk while the gov

the allied governments to withhold
the provisions of the armistice until
certain changes had occurred inside
Germany-all this will be revealed

WILL LIFT CURTAIN
ON "TERMS" NOTES
Continued from First Page.)

volved in this paragraph Of Americas
note to Germany of October Il:
1T must be clearly understood that
the process of evacuation and the
conditions of an armistice are mat
ters which must be left to the judg-
ment and advice of the military ad-
visers of the government of the Unit
ed States and the allied governments,
and the President feels it his duty to
say that no arrangement can be ac-
cepted by the government of the
United States which does not pro-
vide absolutely satisfactory safe
guards and guarantees of the main
tenance of the present military su-
premacy of the armies of the United
States and of the allies in the field.
He feels confident that he can safely
assume that this will also be the
judgment and decision Of the allied
governments"
Furthermore, in the second note of
October %. the United States said:
~The President deems it his duty to
say again, however, that the only
armistice he would feel justified in
submitting for consideration (to the
allies) would be one which should
leave the United States and the pow
ers associated with her in a position
to enforce any arrangements that
may be entered into and to make q
renewal of hostilities on the part OF
Germany impossible"

Acid Foods

There are many self-styled food
specialists" who, for handsome price,
will undertake to teach any credulous
victim by mail what he should or
should not eat and why. One of the
lavorite fancies of these keen charla-
tans is that people with rheumatism
whatever that is-should not eat acid
fruits.
Indeed, most everybody but a doctor
harbors some such notion as that. It
seems that, many years ago a theory
that "rheumatism" was somehow caus-
ed by uric or other acids gained con-
siderable popularity with physicians,
and that notion still prevails among
the laity. Now it has been establish
ed long since that uric acid does not
cause joint disease; not even govt

Millions of people keep their joints
free from these rheumatic acids by prac-
ticing this daily internal sanitation. A
glass OF hot water with a teaspoonful
OF limestone phosphate, drank before
breakfast, is wonderfully invigorating;
besides, it is an excellent health measure
because it cleanses the almentary organs
of all the waste, gases and sour fermen-
tations, making one look and feel clean
sweet and fresh all day.
Those who try this for one week may
find themselves free from sick headaches
