SERATHOL FOR
 INDIGESTION
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE

Owing to the great variety of stomach ailments and the hundred and one "spe- cifics' for their treatment it would in deed be mere chance if the average layman selected a remedy tor his own case that would give substantial and lasting benefits;ieven granting that the selected remedy possessed real merit when administered for a specific condi- tion. It is. therefore, not Surprising to find the sufferer from stomach ir- regularities buying and trying first one cure" then another in vain endeavor to obtain relief.
 Recent investigations of the treat n,ent of a large number of cases of in- digestion, dyspepsia. gastritis and con ditions arising from hyper-acidity of the stomach. prove that there is noth- ing more effective in the treatment of these ailments than ordinary serathol which can be obtained from any good druggist at trifling cost. Many ,suf- ferer from these complaints has been agreeabiy2 surprised at the almost in- sfantaneous relief and subsequent per- manent benefit from it's use. In many serathol produces almost magic effects

Judging from the countless prepara- tions and treatments which are contin- ually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, develop- ing arms, neck and bust. and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness
 Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this de-

BRITISH NEVER BOAST

And so it was such expressions as these l heard from every Brltisher met Neither British officer nor rom my ever boasted of what they nau done. I am yet to hear Brltlsh sol dier tell of having killed boche or exploiting himself or his comrades
 'We Americans. however, do tell or such things. So do the French.
 Not but in very few instances did I hear of any selhshness or grasping spirit on the part of any of the allies in talking of what they intended 10 do in the then expected peace confer, enee.
 Naturally, during the week before the armistice was signed and when Lloyd George and Lord Northclifte were in Paris with Colonel House and General Bliss and with Premier Glenn enceau and other French officials, there was gossip of Lloyd George look ing after his political fences, so to speak, in England, and of Clemenceau doing likewise in France. Of course the name of President Wilson was on every lip as peace communications from the central powers had been through him.
 GOSSIP IS NATURAL
 "Such political gossip was indulged in as naturally occurs preceding one or our national conventions. This sort of gossip is butpnaturals It sounds a right about round table over eoh fee, or a. highball. But it resds veiy differently in print anS sypins ,nerelv talk. is us,ully forgotten in st hours. My good friend, MT. Kent, in bis readable sftIcle certainly 'mopped m, all tbe gossip prevailing in Paris n we~I before the signing of the arpfistice.
 "Of course, his story was read ! able. and I believe it was the pur- pose, more or. less, to post our peace delegates and others going over on the gossip over there.
 "Unfortunately, however, the pub ucation~ of this class of matter, while interesting reading, is calcu- lated to complicate things and 10 create sore spots which will, take long time to heal.
 GIVE AND TAKE SPIRIT
 Tt is but natural to anticipate scraps in peace conference with so many questions to be dealt with as now face the allies. The problems are numerous and com plicated and naturally each allied ,, country will struggle for its full share. From my observations, when all speculative gossip is sifted out the indications are that the allied countries will very quickly agree Indeed, I observed a broad feeling of close friendship and appreciation of one another that would indicate the give and take spirit which can but lead to an all-time peace satis- factory to each of the allied coun- tries"
