SAFEGUARD PALESTINE
AGAINST FUTURE RISK

Albany, n. Y, NOV. t9.-rhe safe
guarding of Palestine beyond all pos
sible future risk through international
guarantees was suggested today by
John H.. Finley, state commissioner
of education and American Red Cross
commissioner in Palestine, who re-
turned recently after spending the
summer in the Holy land.
Palestine's position. said DR.. Finley.
is unique among all lands. No ex-
elusive right can be claimed to II by
Jew or Gentle Or Moslem. 1t be
longs rather to all nations of the
western world who trace their spirit
ual descent from the works of the
law givers. prophets, palmists and
evangelists of Israel.
without presuming to offer advice
to the peace conference. DIR. Finley
said, he a prepared the following
as a summary of his own wishes as
to the future of the Holy land.
That Palestine, now redeemed and
held in trust by western civilization
be not entrusted to any single nation,
race or creed. but be preserved by
an international agreement and by IN
ternauonal guarantees as a monu-
ment to the civilization OF the Occi-
dent.
That Palestine. because OF its reia-
ton TO modern civilization and having
become in the curse OF the war. one
of the prizes for which the allies
fought, is toe prerious a conquest to
leave to future risks"

ON GUARD

At this time Of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. 1t Is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Drink hot water a half hour before
meals, and for vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which has had such
fine reputation for fifty years. 1t con-
tains no alcohol or narcotics. 1t is
made from Golden Seal root, Blood
root, Oregon grape root, Queens root,
Black Cherry bark, extracted with gly-
cerine and made into tablets and liquid.
Tablets sixty cents, at most drug stores.
In order to insure pure blood and to
build up the system try this tonic
known as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Get 1t nowl

No Pleasure in ldleness.

Idleness is never source of pleas
ture. The nation puts folks on en-
forced idIeness as punishment. A
well-earned rest is n boom to any busy
man, but that's far from idleness. The
ldler is just spender. n parasite, n
candidate for social ostracism and
the poorhouse. He soon loses the
power for real enjoyment. He's just
a burden to himself and the folks
around him. He's always hunting
happiness, but is too sluggish to use
the means that bring it. His is the
passive existence of Incidence, stag
nation and deafness. The very facul-
ties capable of giving pleasure are
obsolescent. It's no use to dream
about happiness unless you are will
ing to do a little to help bring it.
Like love it wears best when used.
