PARIS. Dec. 29.-The storm which has
been threatening in the French Cham
ber for the last four days broke this
afternoon when Stephen Pichon, Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, amid violent
interruptions by the Socialists and
counter demonstrations by the Gov
ernment supporters, outlined Frances
peace terms.
/ The Minister declared that France
has accepted the principle of a league
of nations and is absolutely in agree
ment that full publicity be given to
the proceedings of the peace confer
ence. He announced that Intervention
in Russia was inevitable, but that It
would be of a defensive character so
far as French troops were concerned,
and that II offensive operations were
undertaken 1t must be by Russian
troops.
1t had been evident for the last week
that the opponents Of Premier Clemen-
ceau were determined to obstruct in
every possible way the voting of the
budget of 210o,0Oo.000 for the first
three months of 1919 unless the Gov
eminent stated its peace terms either
through Premier Clemencesu or NJ.

Mrs. John Boshev tells
of experience that
covers 20 years.

1t was more than 20 years ago, when Mrs
John c. Boshcr of Richmond was in very
bad health, and medicines seemed to do her
no good. She heard of Polk Nlillcr's 10c.
Liver Pills, and began taking them. These
arc her words:
II can recommend your pills very highly.
Nor: than 20 years ago, when was in very
poor health, tried many advertised mcdi-
cincs, and none of them did me any good.
! started taking Polk Millcr's 1Oc. Liver
Pills and began to improve at once. They
are always i'll our home"
What these pills did for Mrs. Bosher,
they will do for anyone, who suffers with
colds, dizziness, chills and fever, headache,
biliousness, torpid liver, constipation, bad
taste in the mouth, coated tongue, foul breath
pimples, sallow complexion and stomach
trouble.
Polk Millcr's 10c. Liver Pills are sold by
all druggists and at all general stores. They
