PARIS COUNCIL
GIVES WILSON
AND Wife MEDAL
Impressive Welcome Given
President by Municipal
Council; Women
Cheer LustiIy.

Paris, Dec. 16.-President
Wilson, at the conclusion of
his address at the city hall to-
day, in reply to the greetings
of Adrien Mithouard, the
president of the Municipal
council of Paris, was pre-
sented with the great gold
medal of the City of Paris. To
Mrs. Wilson was presented a
diamond brooch adorned with
on enamel dove.
The reception at the City hall,
while not attended by the huge
crowds which welcomed President
Wilson on Saturday, was impressive.
The president was received by the
municipal council at the main en-
trance and walked through the spa
cious corridors, which we're taste
fully decorated. More than 5000
people were within the building, for
the most part women; the male ele-
ment was in great minority.
Women Cheer Lustily.
The women cheered the president
in manner which, while not as lust
lily as the president had been ac-
customed to hear on the college
campus, must have sounded sweet
in his ears, as he smiled and bowed
repeatedly
Adrien Mithouard, president of the
municipal council, read the ad-
dress, the president replying in loud,
clear tones, in which there was
tinge of emotion.
After the official ceremonies, the
president inspected the various de-
partments in the city hall ending,
finally, i'll small room where buf-
fet had been installed and refresh
ments were served. Several Off
cials were presented and many 9TH
ers showed eagerness to shake his
hand. Shortly the president left, re-
turning to the Murat residence.
The Presidents Reply.
President Wilson replied to the
greeting extended him.
"Yonr greeting has raised many
emotions within me-" the president
began
1T is with no ordinary sympathy
that the people of the United States.
for whom | have the privilege of
speaking, have viewed the suffer
ings of the people of France. Many
of our own people have been them
selves witnesses of those sufferings.
We were the more deeply moved by
the wrongs of the war because we
knew the manner in which they
were perpetrated.
Il beg that you will not suppose
that because a. wide ocean separated
us in space that we were not in ef-
feet eye witnesses of the shameful
ruin that was wrought and the cruel
and unnecessary sufferings that were
brought upon you. These sutferings
have filled our hearts with indigna-
ton. We know what they were, not
only, but we know what they signi-
fed and our hearts we're touched to
the quick by them. Our imaginations |
filled with the whole picture of what
France and Belgium in particular
had experienced.

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-
der are the most important organs of the
body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood. If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu
matism, sciatica and lumbago, all warn YOU
to look after your kidneys and bladder
All these indicate some weakness of the
kidneys or other organs or that the enemy
microbes which are always present in your
system have attacked your weak spots.
