WORKING CLASSES OF
ALLIED COUNTRIES SEE
NO NEGOTIATED PEACE

Paris, Aug. q (Wednesday)-The
peace with victory sentiment has
absolutely crushed" all efforts to
promote an international socialist
conference at Berne, Switzerland,
said A. NJ. Simons, chairman of the
American socialist mission to
Europe, to the Associated Press to-
day on his arrival in Paris from Italy.
"The working classes" he added,
seem to be satisfied that a military
victory is the only victory possible,
that a conference with German So
cialists would be of no available use
and that peace by negotiation is an
impossibility.'

LIBERATE SO VILLAGES

Paris, Aug. p. (Havas Agency
The number of German prisoners
captured by the French in their ad-
vance west of the ChaulneS-Noyon
line has been comparatively small as
the French have been obliged to
move cautiously. The Germans left
mines at various places and had
scattered Internal machines and
traps of various kinds. The war ma
terial taken, however, has been con-
siderable. In 4S hours, the allied ad-
vance has liberated more than fifty
villages.

IT'S WONDERFUL
SAYS MINISTER

H'I am an ordained Baptist minister
and have always been greatly opposed
to patent medicines Of all kinds,' said
Rev Jno. M. Simms, Of Atlanta, few
days ago "In fact, I have always re-
garded the great majority Of tahem as
nothing more or less than fakes, but i
want to say to you that I believe Tan
lac is an exception to the rule, because
l have never taken anything that help
er me as much as this medicine.
Mrs. Sims had not been very well
and on the recommendation Of friends
I bought the rst bottle for her, but
when [ took it home she refused to
take it, I was also very badly run
down myself and in need of medicine
Of some kind, and as my friends had
spoken so highly Of Tanlac I decided
to try it myself I have only taken
two bottles and have gained ten pounds
in weight. When I weighed day before
Yesterday with my overcoat on | weigh
ed two hundred and fteen pounds.
When I weighed this morning on the
scales up the street without my over
coat. I weighed two hundred and ten
pounds, which is ten pounds more than
I weighed before I began taking it.

trouble. I would lay awake for hours
atnig hit as I was so nervous I could
get no rest or sleep-in' fact, was
so run down I was not myself at all
and was losing weight and strength
rapidly. Ny digestion was so badly
impaired [ had to avoid sweets of all
kinds, as much as I loved them. Ere
quently after eating I would suffer for
hours with heartburn and other froms
Of indigestion.
Tanlac seems to have corrected
troubles entirely. I have been entirely
relieved Of indigestion and can now
eat anything with impunity. I can
even eat honey without suffering any
i'll effects whatsoever
80 AS I told you before, I used to suf-
for great deal with my kidneys and
would have to get up at all hours of
the night. I can now go to bed and
get a good nights rest, and never wake
up until morning. I get up feeling
rested and refreshed and ready for my
work
eyes, indeed, Tanlac is a wonderful
medicine. There is no doubt abut il
heartily recommend it for what il
has done for me.''
