PEACE CONFEREES ALL
HAVE ARRIVED IN EUROPE

American executive that Mr.. Wilson
would have to remain in Italy a
month to provide time enough for the
engagements. Even the little repub-
lie of San Marine, the smallest in the
world, has asked to be allowed to
pay homage to the American presi-
dent.
No announcement has been made
as yet regarding a visit to London
or Brussels by the president, but it is
certain that both these capitals will
be visited officially, and already Eng
land and Belgium are making great
plans to receive Mr.. Wilson. The
president will receive an honorary
degree at Oxford university during
the time he is in England.
These visits of President Wilson to
the heads of the European govern
ments already has brought up the
subject of return visits of these mon
archs to the United States.
Royalty to Visit America?
No less an authority than Steph-
ane Lausanne, editor of the Paris
Matin, who had been in the United
States on an official mission and who
sailed for France last Saturday, de-
clared just before embarking on his
steamer that the United States must
expect to have as its guests within
the next two years President Poin-
care, of France, King George of Eng
land, King Albert, of Belgium, and
King Victor Emanuel, of Italy.

from time immemorial," said M.
Lausanne, chat the head of one gov
eminent who entertains the head of
another invariably repays the visit"
The Plan to Be Followed.
Meeting daily in informal confer
ence and working betimes with their
stats of technical advisers the four
leaders of the chief belIigerents in
the war will thresh out each idea and
settle each issue connected with the
peace before these ideas and issues
are presented at the peace table it
self. The president and the premiers,
according to present plans, will draw
up the entire peace program, and the
peace conference itself will merely
act as ratifying body.
Regarding the sittings of the main
conference the impression has grown
in Paris, London and Washington
that they will be semi-open affairs.
The main conference will be given an
opportunity to discuss the points Of
the program laid down by the pre-
miers, but it is not likely the discus
sions, or debates, will be publicly
conducted. 1t is expected rather of
fetal communicates will be issued
each day telling just what was dis
cussed and what may have been set

The new CALONEL fine.
FOR COLDS and GRIPPE.
Calotabs, the New Nausealess Gallo
mel, Breaks Up Severe
Cold Overnight.

Physicians and druggists are elat-
ed over the fact that they have at
last found a genuine and dependable
remedy for colds, sore throat, infu-
enza and la grippe. For years they
have depended chiefly upon the old
style calomel, which is certainly fine,
but unfortunately many people would
not take it because of its nauseating
and dangerous qualities.
Now that the pharmaceutical chem
lists have perfected a nausealess calO-
mel, called "Calotabs." whose medici-
nal virtues are vastly improved, the
doctors and druggists are claiming
that Calotabs are the ideal remedy
to abort a cold over night and cut
short an attack of sore throat or Ia
grippe. They are also finding it most
effective as the first step in the treat
ment of pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water-that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your eat
ing or your work and pleasure. The
next morning your cold has vanish
ed and your whole system is purified
and refreshed. Calotabs are sold only
in original sealed packages; price
thirty-fve cents. Your druggist rec
ommends and guarantees them by
refunding the price if you are not
delighted.

URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Fake a glass of Salts if your Back hurts
or Bladder bOthers you-Drink
more water.

If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts TO expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then YOU
suffer with dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obGging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
cake tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid Of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
iithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys.
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
so it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes delightful effervescent

RETRENCHMENT In GOVERNMENT
EXPENDITURE NOW DEMANDED
Democratic Leader Martin Assured
the Senate He Believes Country
Is Fast Going to Bankruptcy.

Observation-Disclosures for re
trenchment in government expendi-
lures were voiced again today in the
senate. Senator Borah, of Idaho, re-
publican, in bringing up the subject
said that Gin the first month Of re
trenchment, November, expenditures
reached the highest point since the
war started. Democratic Leader Mar
tin assured the senate that he be-
lieved the country was being
brought to bankruptcy and that he
had repeatedly virtually demanded
all department heads to cut down ex-
penses.
AS an immediate result Of the econ
omy agitation the senate late today
adopted without objection, q resolu-
ton by Chairman Reed of the pub
lie buildings committee, authorizing
an investigation of expenditures and
contracts for federal buildings. It's
principal purpose, Senator Reed said,
was to inquire into expenditures of
the housing committee, principally in
Washington.

WHISKEY WITHDRAWALS ARE
LARGER THAN EVER BEFORE
Washington Report Shows Dealers

Observation-Disclosures treas

liquor dealers, hurrying to escape the
doubled liquor tax proposed in the

whisky and other spirits from bond
at two or three times the usual rate.
1t was indicated that Withdrawals
for December might reach 20,000,0O0
gallons, or double the estimated with
drawals for November. In October
probably 100000 gallons were
taken out of bond and in September
5,678,000 gallons.

available, it is estimated that not
more than 1OO,0O0,OO0 gallons of dis

GETS NOTE IN BOTTLE
AFTER LAPSE OF THREE YEARS
Thrown in Sea OFF Cape Hatteras and
Picked Up on Florida Coast.

SAVANNAH, Cat appears that
the old pastime of sealing up mes
sages in bottles and casting them into
the sea has not yet died out, but af-
ter many hundred years is as popu-
lar as ever.
The idea of the thing was original
ly romantic and was supposed to be a
short cut to the meeting and ulti-
mate mating of two people whose
marriage, it is presumed, had already
been arranged in heaven. The latest
perpetrator of this ancient custom,
however, had nothing but the spirit
of adventure as his motive when he
threw a bottle containing a blank
check into the sea off Cape Hatteras.
George w. Williams, while taking
a trip on the steamship City of Sa-
Vannah on September II, 1915, en-
closed one of his own checks in bot
tie and casts it into the sea. On the
back of the check was written his
name, the name of the ship upon
which he was sailing as well as the
date and the spot where the bottle
was thrown into the water.
Yesterday, "three years later" as
the moving pictures have it. Mr..
Thomas received a letter from Flor
ida, enclosing the check, in which it
was stated that the bottle was washed
up on the Cumberland Island beach,
about ten miles south of Fernandina
on November 20, 1918, and was
found by Miss Mary Whitby.
