BY EDWARD w. PIckARD.

MANY people have thought that
the mere signing of the treaty with
Germany marks the ending of the
world peril. The situation today is
still serious The worlds statesman
ship will be sorely tried In the next
few years.
"The peace conference has been
fed world craftsmanship directing
the moral and material resources of
the worlds family Of nations. To al-
low the spirit behind II to disintegrate
at this moment of emergency, when
united action is imperative, would be
fatal to all the hopes of permanent
peace with which we entered the war.
"Out Of II all has come the most
important international document
ever drawn-the treaty Of peace with
Germany-a document which not only
meets the issues of the present war,
but also lays down new agreements
of the most helpful and most hopeful
character. The nations are bound to-
gether to avert another world catas-
trophe, backward peoples are given
new hope for their future; several
racial entities are liberated to form
new states; beginning is made to-
ward removing unjust economic re-
strictions, and the great military au-
tocracies of central Europe are de-
stroyed as the first step in a general
disarmament.
"The treaty is, of course, not all
that we had hoped for. Too many
conflicting interests were involved.
Nearly every one will find in II weak
nesses, both of omission and commits
sion.
II come home pleased, but not over
complacent with the outcome of the
last six months; hopfeul, but not In
the least unmindful of the problems
yet to be solved"
These are the words Of Robert
Lansing, United States secretary of
state They sound like both fact and
sense. Therefore they are welcome
in these topsy-turvy days.
Admitting that the League of Ma
tions Is the hope Of the world, is 1t
one that America can accept In jus
tice to herself? That is what the
United States senate is trying to find
out. 1t is the question OF the hour.
SO many shades Of individual opinion
are held among the senators that ac-
ceptance or rejection can hardly be
said to be party question. Any
way, the Republican view Is presum-
ably correctly set forth In the follow
ing official statement by Chairman
Will III. Hays Of the Republican ma
tional committee:
THE situation respecting the
league covenant is simply this:
There must be effective reserva-
tions. These reservations must safe
guard the sovereignty of the United
States in, every particular; must
guarantee the Monroe doctrine De
yond the shadow of a doubt; must
either eliminate article 10 entirely or
so modify II that our own congress
shall be morally as well as legally
free after specified period TO de-
eide when and where and TO what ex-
tent our soldiers shall be employed
must retain our full control Of Inn
migration, tariff and all other purely
domestic policies, and must provide

Ell v|GOR IS NOT
PATENT. MEDICINE
Famous Prescription Not "Cure-
Alp Nor Remedy, But q Well
Balanced Tonic Prescription
Treatment.

The thousands of inquiries receiv-
ed the last few days concerning El
Vigor, the famous tonic prescription
prompted DR.. Eaton, the manufactur-
er, to issue a statement as to the pur-
pose of his medicine.
Gel Vigor is neither a patent med
icine, a nostrum, nor remedy,
states DR.. Eaton. ''It is a carefully
worked out prescription, designed to
treat disorders of the blood, liver,
stomach and kidneys. 1t is not a
cure-all.
Medical authorities agree that 4
large majority of the most prevalent
diseases trace their origin to disor-
ders of the stomach, liver and kid
neys. The formula of Ell Vigor
which is printed on every bottle, has
been compounded with a view to
reaching the source of such ailments
and by correcting the causes to re
lieve suffering in a natural way.
Thousands of people all over the
South have told me repeatedly that
Ell Vigor has relieved them of rheu-
matism, biliousness, constipation, in,
digestion, dyspepsia, nervouness
blood and skin disorders and hun
dred of other troubles that have theil
origin in disorders of the stomach
liver and kidneys.
'"The statements of these grateful
people who have taken Ell Vigor anc
been benefited by it. prompted me tc
place it in the hands of the druggists
80 that everyone who suffers from
such, disorders could obtain it easily
and at a reasonable price.
"The thouands of questions thai
are being asked about Ell Vigor de
mand an answer, and | intend to pre-
pare statement regarding the in
gradients of my prescription for pup
lication in a few days.
81 will be glad indeed if every per
son who buys a bottle of Ell Vigol
from the druggist will read the for
mula printed on the label and show
same to his family physician and as
his opinion of its ingredients. Mar
of the best physicians in the Sou
are prescribing Ell Vigor for their

N. E. Marshburn, Well Known

/ N. E. Marshburn, who is we'll
known throughout the Southern
States in both retail and wholesale
business circles, has been chosen as

pacity of the Ell Vigor laboratory,
and the work is now under way.
When asked how he intended to
market the famous prescription ton
Mr.. Marshburn said:
People don't go to the postoffice
when they want to buy shoes, nor to
the hardware store when they want

place Ell Vigor in the leading urug
stores in every city, town and village
in the South
Hundreds of the most progressits
druggists in the South are now han
ding Ell Vigor and have been order
ing in two and three gross lots with
nothing but local advertising.
II want to see Ell Vigor in every
representative drug store in the
South, and, with that end in view, !
am appointing agents in every local.

ringing every five minutes in the dav
with messages from people wEo have
heard about Ell Vigor through their
neighbors, asking where they may
buy it.

thousand bottles of FL Vigor have

new RULES FOR
PACKING EXPRESS
in FORCE DEC. 10

Steps were being taken today by
Agent F. M. H. McQpnald, in charge
of the city express office, to prepare
for the new express packing re-
quirements which 60 into effect on
December 10.
He has been advising express ship
pers to study the new rules, which
have been approved by the United
! States Railroad administration, so
| that they may be able to adjust their
backing methods to the Forthcoming
new standards Under the new reg
ulations, which are embodied in what
is known technically as Supplement
No. to Express Classification No.
26, all shipments sent by express
weighing over 25 pounds, must be
packed in wooden containers or car
tons of fibre board, cupboard or cor
rugated strawboard material, of
specified ''test strengths" This
means, according to Mr.. Mcdonald,
that after Dec. 10, packages over
25 pounds limit will not be accepted
for forwarding by the American Rail
way Express Company, handling the
express business of the entire coun-
try as agent of the Gailroad admin
istration, if only paper wrapped, nor
will ordinary paper boxes, wrapped
or unwrapped, be accepted as suita-
BILE protection for these heavier ship
ments. The regulations, however, do
not affect shipments under 25
pounds.
Regular shippers, Mr.. Mcdonald
stated, will not be mystifed by the
new regulations, as they follow very
closely on the packing requirements
long in vogue in the freight service.
The express regulations, however, al
low little more latitude in the size
of the carton used. The enforce
ment of the new rules was postponed
until Dec. 10, so that shippers would
have plenty of time to prepare them
selves for this change in express
packing standards.
Mr.. Mcdonald expressed the opin-
ion that these new rules will not
work any hardship on shippers, but
should operate distinctly in their in
terest, as the rules will provide ad-
dltlonal safeguards for merchandise
in transit. Moreover, they will es-
tablish uniformity of express pack
ing rules which heretofore has been
lacking. The new order does not af-
feet the movement of food products
by express, which are ordinarily ship
ped in crates or barrels.
I'VE believe" stated Mr.. McDon-
aid in explaining the new regulations,
that the shipping public will well
come the new standards when thew
understand them, and the reasons for
putting them into effect.
