Rupture Kills
1000 Annually

Seven thousand persons each year are laid
away-the burial certificate being marked
Rupture" Why? Because the unfortunate
ones had neglected themselves or had been
merely taking care of the signs (swelling)
of the affliction and paying no attention to
the cause. What are you doing? Are you
negIecting yourself by wearing truss, APP
pliance, or whatever name you choose to
call it? At best, the truss is only a make
sbift-a false prop against a collapsing
, waIl-and cannot be expected to act as
more than a mere mechanical support. The
binding pressure retards blood circulation,
thus robbing the weakened muscles of that
which they need most-nourishment.
4 But science has found a way, and every
truss sufferer in the land is invited to make
a FREE test right in the privacy of their
own home The P14APA0 method is unques-
tionably the most scientific, logical and sue
cessful self-treatment for rupture the world
has ever known.

but in their homes the people depend on
candles. Should the candle supply fail
there would be plague Of darkness.

NONE OF STRIKES AUTHORIZED.
And New British Labor Minister Finds
Himself Helpless.

London, Jan. 2S.--Alex Thompson, ed
itor of the socialist labor newspaper
Clarion, in reviewing industrial unrest
for the Mail, writes:
"The new labor minister, Sir Robert
: Stevenson Horne, whose sincere sym
pathy with labor's desire for improved
conditions of life, has very favorably
impressed leaders of the trades unions,
confesses his utter helplessness in deal
ing with the grave problems assailing
him on his entrance to office. None of
the present strikes have been authorized
by the executives Of the unions in
yolved and all are contrary to official
advice Therefore, it is obviously inn
possible for Sir Robert to interfere. It is
his policy, as labor minister to support
trades union executives, as any other
action would only weaken their authori-
ty and strengthen the hands of those
who have disobeyed instructions"

First Lieut.. Neale w. Hooker has writ

Hooker, that the battalion Of the 26th

the honor to act as guard for President
Wilson on the occasion of the American
executives visit to Chaumont on Christ

fine of him2 My old major, Maj. Bissell,
also returned from the hospital; so we
have got practically the same staff as we
had during the fighting last summer and
fall.
"The battalion lined up from the sta
tion here in Chsumoht up TO the Hotel

shing Mrs Wilson and all the other dig
nitaries inspected us. ] got good look
at them all; also had my picture taken
several times; so don't be surprised if
you see me staring you in the face in
some magazine: If you do, take a look
at my nice little horse He is a peach.
@This afternoon we have to form a
guard up at G. Fl. Q. for him and again
tonight when he takes the train. Dur
ing to-day he is having dinner in the real
army way over at the Goth division head
quarters with some OF the officers. He
specified to Gen. Pershing that he should
be attended by, and dinner with, the 26th
on Christmas day. It's about time that
we got little that ought to come to us,
THE president looked pretty good and
wanted the fur coat that he wore. Mrs.
w. was all logged out for the show. She
looked real nice. Gen. Pershing looks
just the same as he always did
THE French people were out in full

in a thoroughly Frenchifed way.

it.

WILSON RUNS AGAINST
STIFF OPPOSITION
In the Proposed Disposal of German Col
onies-Austria and New Zealand
Insist on Aquiring Valu-
able Territory.

London, Jan. 2S.--In referring to dis,
cussions of the future status of Ger
manys colonies by the peace congress,
the Paris correspondent OF the Mail,
writes:
president Wilson appears to have put
forward general scheme which may be
termed the nternationalization of Ger
many's late possessions. This plan is not
exactly defined, but in principle il would
make it mandatory for the various pow
ers to administer the colonies subject to
the control of the league of nations
British delegates do not object to
such procedure respecting the colonies in
Africa, although other nations, notably
the French and Portuguese, do not ac-
quiesce, and the union of South Africa
definitely claims German southwest Afri-
ca. As regards the Pacific, Australia
claims New Guinea and the Bismarck
Archipelago; New Zealand claims Samoa
and Japan desires the Marshalls and Car
olines. Japan also suggests an equatorial
delimitation between British and Japa-
nese influence in the Pacific"
The correspondent refers to the Anglo
japanese secret" treaty of 1916, which
assigned the Marshalls and Caroiines to
Japan, and adds:
"Sueh possession would be very dis
tasteful to the United States, and Amer
lean political opinion is that if President
Wilson agrees to this move his power
viii be seriously impaired 1t suggested
that fro mthis comes his earnest demand
for the decentralization of all Pa
cifc colonies. 1t is quite clear, however,
that the whole voice of the British en-
pire at the peace congress supports the
claims of Australia, New Zealand and
the union of South Africa and also
agrees to the retention by Japan of the
Marshalls and Carolines, with equatorial
delimitation of influence.
1T was the current opinion tonight
that President Wilson would see the jus.
tice of Great Britain's claims. He re-
quested evidence of Australian interest
in New Guinea, and this was quickly
Forthcoming in telegram recording res
olutions by large number of public
bodies in Australia, opposing any other
solution of the colonial problem. Aus
tralia declares she has lost more men in
the war than the United States and has
no recompense in the shape Of war con-
tracts, and that the non-possession of
the whole of New Guinea would arouse
great bitterness"
