dollars and keepsake knife In 1t. She
was surprised recently on going to

English Will Be
World Language

remarks anent Esperanto and Ger
man. His brochure on the sub
ject Of a world language has attracted
considerable attention in France and
England recently.
|. While some political economists are
talking about the establishment of ar
international currency that will be
worth its face value all over the world
and while others are talking Of kind
Of international government that will
prevent future wars, of international
control of the drug traffic, and several
more ''internationalized" subjects, in
Guiding international welfare, the
Frenchmen Of learning are discussing
the international language Of the flu
ture. And they admit, modestly
enough, that English will probably be
the favorite as world tongue, be-
cause English first Of all is the best
known and most widely spoken Ian
guage of business and mercantile tran
sGctions In the world today.
Acknowledging that English Is bound
to be the favOrite the French profess
sors claim their own language will nat.
urally take second place in preference
to German.
Possibly the Germans some years
ago foresaw the coming popularity of
English and French and the consequent
showing Of the German language into
third place in the race, because II was
before the war even that the 'kultur
crusade" for popularizing Esperanto
and lido and the other artificial lam
guages started. according to Mieille.
Briefly, 1t is Mieille's idea and the
opinion of other noted French and
English scholars that the world needs
two languages for its future welfare
English and French.
While there was lot of speculation
some years ago about finding q univer-
sal tongue, such as Esperanto, we had
as living languages In this world Of
ours the two tongues that completely
filed all requirements. There was real.
ly no need for inventing a new Ian
guage.
There has been a kind of official
adoption of the idea that English and
French shall be the world languages Of
the future in the fact that proceedings
ut the peace conference have been con.
Quoted In these two languages. The
procedure has been cumbersome, It Is
true, but it has been possible for prac-
tically all of the delegates to under
stand everything that takes place In
the way of speech making.
The French clique of educators pro.
noting the plan of making English
and French the common international
tongues want the peace conference, or
the league of nations, to perpetuatc
the procedure Of the peace conference
and make both tongues the official Ian
guages for conducting the business or
the league Of nations.
Semiofficial communications have
been addressed to the various govern
ments that were lined up against Ger.
many, and to many officials of all these
governments recommending the plan.
Numerous senators and deputies have
gone on record as favoring the scheme.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know Dr..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young - to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels - there's no need of
having sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples - a bilious
look in your face - dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in-
active bowels and liver.
Dr.. Edwards, a well-known physician
IN Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive Gil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
d.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that cxuberance of spirit, that natural
ouoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
Ing the system Of impurities.
