MAKING FRENCH
FARMS PRODUCTIVE

Farm Ia Dor problems In France are
being taken UP seriously by the Amer
lean committee for devastated France,
which has communicated the plan or
it's work to the department of labor.
The committees aim is to increase the
productivity of French farms as much
as possible and to make France as
nearly self supporting as 1t can, so
that the produce from American
farms can be supplemented by grain
and other foodstuffs grown at home.
Because of the near approach OF
winter the committee is not attempt
ing this season to deal with abandon
ed farms. but is working with farms
lalready under cultivation.
The committee is particularly In
lterested in two types of refugees
the farm owners and the hired labor
ers. Many farmers, driven from their
own lands by the invader, want TO
be placed on land where they can
earn n livelihood for themselves and
their families. Many of them have
been able to take with them part
of their tive stock. and the committee
places them, when possible. on ITS
farm colonies.
The committee has all told. about
200 acres, but there are $4,000 refu-
gees in the Eure-et -Loir alone since
the last offensive. 1t is the practice
of the committee to pay men francs
a day and women 3 francs when it
hires them for farm work
A new bill enacted in France makes
it possible for an abandoned farm to
claim SIS an acre for cultivation The
object of the bill is to facilitate the
cultivation OF abandoned or partly
abandoned soil in France.

DOCTORS SAY CALOMEl
IS BEST MEDICINE

According to the worlds greatest
physicians and medical experts. Gallo
mel Is the best and most universe lily
useful of all medicines. Medical au-
thorities prescribe calomel for almost
every disease and explain that 1t Is the
best and surest OF all system purifiers
They say that calomel cleanses the
liver, stomach. bowels and kidneys
and purifies the blood from all poi
sons, making the system pure and
clean so that nature can quickly re-
store the health.
Now that science has purified Gallo
mel of all its nauseating and danger
Gus qualities. the new kind of calomel
called "Calotabs," Is even more popu-
lar than the old. AS liver cleanser
and system purifier Calotabs are more
effective than the old style calomel
yet are entirely delightful in effect
One Calotab at bedtime. with a swal.
low of water-that's all. No nausea
nor the slightest unpleasantness. Next
morning you awake feeling fine, with
a hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat
what you please and go where you
please--there Is no restriction of habit
or diet.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-fv
cents. Your druggist recommends
and guarantees Calotabs. and will re.
fund your money il you are not de.

GERMANS CHEER
PRESIDENT WILSON

Six thousand workingmen and

held recently at Mannheim. Germany,
according to the correspondent OF the
Swiss Humanite a member of the
independent party, in speech. out
lined the presidents program as for
mulated in January, 1918. "On the
basis of the Wilson war aims peace
could be established with little good
Will" the speaker declared. The Hu-
mantle says:
The applause which greeted his
words sufficed to show that the great
er part OF the persons in the hall
wege of his opinion, but the authori-
ties were unwilling that the assembly
should manifest its sentiments in this
respect by formal vote"
Since the meeting the German
newspapers have assailed President
Wilson violently.

Today for the first time cases were

the population affected in the epidemic
in America in 1SS990 was 40 per cent,

Count Won Hertling, the imperial Ger
man chancellor, before the main com
mtttee OF the reichstag, was received
this afternoon by the state depart
ment. His utterances, As contained
in the oficiaI text, practically are the
same as they appear in the news
PAPER accounts, IT was said
Whtle no comment was forthcom .
tpr from the state department, ap-
parentty in view of the fact that the
eutire subject Will be handled by the
urasident there was little attempt 10
conceal the disgust felt at the chan
ceIIor's whine for peace. HIS speech
It In believed. IL intended primarily
for home consumption, just as vas
the Austrian peace note Like the
latter, however. IL does nn{ ring true
and the president is expected TO EN-
phasize this fact
Ofsicials recall Won Hertlings &C
ceptance OF the presidents original
four peace principles cynical &C
ceptance made at time When IL
looked as though the German hordes
would sweep through France ana also
when Hindenburg was publicly pro-
claiming that he would dine in TaFls
on April l. Since then, the German
government has been officially silent
regarding peace, but it is pointed OUT
that this silence continued only so
long az II appeared Germany had a
chance of achieving victory on the
west front Now that the tide has
turned and victory is perched on the
banner OF the allies, there has been
r steady succession of peace pleas
from within the central powers
The speech Of the chancellor is an
ncho to the speech of the kaiser, and
Both, IL Is suggested. are only tore
runners OF the desperate peace OMEN

wage this winter, 1t is the old story
oficials say. OF domineerlng Prusslan

but singing with a voice that u

There is no doubt now. IN the minus

which has told about the war fury
raging here This point also was
touched upon in the chancellor :
speech, The enemy press iikewi4

1t must be remem bered though
that only a short time ago the Ger
man press was ridiculing our war
efforts, scoffing at our soldiers, and
pokInx all manner OF jecrs at oui
war endeavors.
Won Hertlings peace feeler will be-
felegated to oblivion. the same as tht

here, because the president has al
