GREAT PEACE VICTORY.

1t will not be surprising if the inter
national control of the German colonies
demanded and apparently secured by
President Wilson at the peace confer
ence, proves the strongest guaran-
tee of permanent peace enacted by the
conference There was a distinct plan
on the part of some of the allied pow
ers in the late war to secure territorial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT in the terms of peace.
England has secretly promised some of
its dependents valuable territorial pos
sessions taken from Germany during the
war Before the demand of President
Wilson that all German colonies should
be placed under control of the league
of nations England has withdrawn her
secret agreements and is now ready to
WELD to such international control
Slight concessions regarding the
powers of the various manufactures
which are to control the different cole.
nies and possessions have been made but
the principle of international admins
tration has not been sacrificed. This
should eliminate any future wars of
conquest, the underlying cause of most
of the wars of the past. 1t will do so
unless some nation or combination of
nations becomes SO strong they feel they
can defy the rest of the world. Such a
condition seems improbable because no
nation or nations can attempt to take
new territory without conflicting with
the desires of all other nations.
It is hard to realize the great power
for peace this agreement creates. Not
only does it destroy the most common

al Vera Vose of this town, who is sta
toned at Fort SlOeum, n Y:

ton for propulsive ammunition Other
substances have been tried-wood,
hemp, straw and other material with
woody fbres. But they have not the
power of cotton To propel
as far with woody materials would
need large charge, which would en-
tail the enlargement of the barrel of
every gun and rifle.
The expenditure of ammunition in
this war is unprecedented. AT a con-
servative estimate, Germany required
1000 tons of cotton day, A whole
bale of cotton is required to fire one of
their biggest guns, or for every $4,000
rounds of rifle ammunition. The total
cotton stocks in Germany at the out
break of the war was estimated at
100000 tons. This would have carried
on the war for $50 days, or about
eight months, had cotton, in the opin-
ion of experts, been made eontraband
ut the beginning of the war.

BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a glass of Salts before break
fast if your Back hurts or
Bladder bothers you.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
bic, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filed
with uric acid which the kidneys strive
to filter out, they weaken from over
work, become sluggish; the eliminative
tissues clog and the result is kidney
trouble, bladder weakness and gen
eral decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead, your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged TO seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four ounces
of Jad Salts; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys viii then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with hthia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is source or irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
lure, makes delightful effervescent
lithia water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make a
mistake by having a good kidney flush
ing any time.-AdYt.

oLEo IN THE SADDLE.

Oleomargarine, like all other grease,
seems to be coming to the top in the
cauldron of living expenses. Most
adult people can remember the great
fight in congress to-tax it out of gen
eral use and the conviction of the pro-
dueers of butter that they had won
their fight That was in the days of
cheap butter when a comparatively
small tax on oleomargarine made it as
expensive as butter.
During recent years the price of but
ter has advanced by such leaps and
bounds that oleomargarine is much
cheaper and its use has been greatly in
creased. Many thrifty Vermont far
mer today is hauling his milk to rail-
roads to he shipped to- the city markets
and going to the grocery store and buy
ing oleomargarine in some form for use
in his own family Many more people
who do not make butter have pur-
chased oleo for their table as a matter
of necessity as they cannot afford tc
buy butter. The result is larger con,
sumption of oleo than ever before
In Connecticut the state dairy and
food commission is asking the state
legislature to raise the fee required OF
dealers, users and manufacturers OF
oleomargarine from 100 to $50 per cent
for the purpose of discouraging the us'
of cleo They are not likely to succeed
because it would increase the cost o.
living to the large body of consumer
resident in the numerous cities of tina
state and undoubtedly many farmers o.
that state. The use of oleomargarin,
is simply matter of taste and ex
pense and If is winning its way into TOT
many homes to be taxed out of genera
use It looks as though it is too frml,
seated in the saddle to be unseated TO
long time to come.

COTTON AND EXPLOSIVES.
No Adequate Substitute for Cotton For
Propulsive Ammunition.

Some striking facts regarding cotton
in its relationship to the manufacture
of high explosives were recently given
by Sir William Ramsay. In the first
place it should be explained that gun
cotton is really cotton waste, carefully
cleaned, combed, and dried, soaked in
one part nitric acid to three parts sui
phuric acid It is afterward dried and
pressed into cakes 1t is employed in
