IS AMERICA TO HELP CARRY JOHN
BULLS BURDENS?
(MinneaDolis Tr

minneapolis lr1bune)
Mr. Wilson says that he is willing to bear his
share OF the blame for the delay If the delay proves
to be as serious in its consequences as it now threat
ems, he must answer to the American people al
though it may be that others in the conference are
equally to blame. 1t is we'll understood however
that he has dominated the Peace conference from
the first That he has played into the hands of the
British. who have been glad to utilize his DISPOSE
ton to take the lead, he has probably not realized
but the advantages to Great Britain in the league as
constructed, sufficient to explain their readiness
to follow his lead. And they have succeeded in
manner complimentary to their great skill in states
manship and diplomacy, in which they have had
long and valuable experience
If anybody had anything to gain by bringing to
the front the league of nations and devoting to its
construction the time of the leading statesmen in
the conference it that policeman of the world,
John Bull, who must have been delighted at his
sposibility for the white mans burden which he has
found to be growing heavier as the league of ma
tions scheme unfolded itself
RATIO OF DIVORCES TO MARRIAGES.
Since 1906, according to the official statistics of
the Census Bureau, this undermining process has
been proceeding at so rapid rate that now one in
every nine marriages is the prelude to divorce pro-
ceedings.
Omnous as this moral peril is to the future, what
would it be if the Catholic Church had not fought
lit unrelentingly? Her influence has held in check
an evil which, if uncontrolled, would play havoc
with American homes Were it not for the Cath
would become temporary cohabitation of the sexes
till such time as divorce court would rule that
all marital obligations were cancelled In cham
pioning the sanctty of the marriage vows the Cath
olc Church has rendered priceless service to the
country.-1rish World.

Weekly He alth Talks
IND ABOUT THE KIDNEYS
nv DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when
they think something Is tho matter with
their lungs or heart, and well they
may be; but few people understand
the dangers Of discased kidneys. These
organs hhyc a au,y o. vital Importance
to perform, and L they are diseased.
there is no telling low or whero the
symptoms may appear The kidneys
are filters, and when they are healthy
they remove the poisons from the blood
and purify it, When the kidneys are
diseased, the poigons are spread every
where, and one Of these poisons Is uric
acid. The uric acid Is carried all
through the system and deposited In
various places, in the form OF urato
ealts in the feet, ankles, wrists and
back = often forming bags under che
eyes. Sometimes the resulting trouble
is called rheumatisia, lr;nbago, sciatica
and backache. Fnarg, come stone
in the bladder, dialects and Bright's
disease.
DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, NY, In recent
years, discovered that a certain com.
bination Of remedies would dissolve uric
acid (urate salts) in the system. He
found this combination TO be harmless,
80 that he made It up IN tnhleis,
OF double strength, and oaiir
Anuric Tablets. They ditst a.s
acid in the human system as hot ,siea
dissolves sugar. II you have rr.c acid
troubles, don't delay in taking Anuric
Tablets, which can be secured in the
drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce,
too, and he will tell you what 70 eat
and how 70 live 90 that more uric acid
will not form In your system. Dr.. Rierss
wiz mot charge for this advice. 49,.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash It
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali This dries the
scalp, makes the lair brittle, and is very
harmful. Mulsilicd cocoanut oil sham
poo (Which is pure and entirely grease
leSs), is much better than anything else
YOU can use for shampooing, as this
can't possibly injurc the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and clcanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily.
and removes every particle of dust, dirt.
dandruf and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get Mulsifcd cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store II is
very cheap, and few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for months.
