that much less work for the American troops 1t will
demonstrate that from that time Germany can only
fight defensive war; and that all hopes of gaining
ground must be abandoned. Admittedly the Teutons

this on must become steadily weaker. While this may
also be true of France Italy is not yet at the summit of
her man power and England through her colonies can
still add to her strength AT the time America with
her millions will by Spring be in the fightig with an
abundance Of reserves and while the outcome may be
delayed there be but The kaiser and his leaders
know this hence the desperate attempts to force peace
now.
So far Russia is concerned she may come back in

situation far she is concerned being that matter

Once the kaiser has learned definitely that he cannot
break through the allies lines the peace will be-
come more frequent and more urgent For this reason
the results of the next few weeks will have more than
their usual interest.

The gratifying results attending
the faithful use of the new medici-
nal combination, Hood s Sarsapa-
rilla before eating and Peptiron
after eating, are seen in purer blood,
stronger nerves, improved condition
of the whole system.
They are results that make this
coarse of treatment the most eco
nomical for sufferers from impure,
impoverished blood, weak, unsteady
nerves-no other accomplishes so
much for each cent expended.
Hoods Sarsaparilla and Pept-
iron aid each other, and to take
both is to derive four-fold benefit.
If laxative is needed in connec-
ton with them, the gentle and thor
ough Hoods Pills should be used.
