PEACE CONFERENCE
 WORK |S RUSHED
COMMISSIONERS DOUBLE EFF FORTS FOR THE COMPLETION
 OF TREATY.
FRENcHMEN ARE ANXIOUS
Apprehensive Over Conditions in Ger many-Objectiona Features or League of Nations May Be
 Eliminated.

Paris.-The eighth week of the peace conference opened with in- creased efforts by the working com missions to get their projects ready for consideration when President Will son, Premier Lloyd George and Pre- nier Orlando return to Paris.
 No one is more anxious for prompt action than the French commission CTS, who want to hasten not only the completion of the peace treaty, but the adoption of the League of Ma tlons plan as an integral part of It. An opening for revision of the plan that will not threaten the integrity of the league appears to be broadening. M. Pinchon, French foreign minister. has indicated that he will offer amendments relating to an interna- tional force.
 It is thought that the conference may consider other amendments, such as may be regarded in America as necessary to remove the ambiguity os clauses that might affect the Monroe Doctrine, the right of secession from the league and the methods of using force against recalcitrant nations. The American delegates, it is said are awaiting the return of the presi- dent before defining their attitude.
 French apprehension is growing over the danger of anarchy in Ger many, and the French delegates, 1 therefore, desire to hasten the conclu- sion of the peace treaty and Incorpo- rate in it measures for the protection which they have expected from the League of Nations. M Picnon, ce- fiecting this view, said that every one wants a responsible government established in Germany with which peace may be concluded.

SAGE AND SULPHUR
 DARKENS GRAY HAIR
its Grandmother's Recipe to Restore Color, Gloss and At
 tractiveness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and trouble some. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm proved by the addition of other in- gredients, at small cost.
 Don't stay gray Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time: by morning the gray hair dis appears, and after another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.-Adv.

Important to all Women
 Readers of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney CT bladder trouble and never suspect 1t.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the reSuJt of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in healthy con- dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer pain in the back, head ache and loss of ambition.
 Poor health makes you nervous, irrita- ble and may be Respondent; it makes any one so.
 But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Many send for a sample bottle to see what Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine, will do for them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer $ Co.,, Binghamton, N Y. you may receive sample size bottle by Parcel 2 Post. You can purchase medium and large size bottles at all drug stores.-Adv.

2: @ WesiernNewspa per Union

Washington. Republican sena- constitution of the League of Nations as proposed to the peace conference at Paris, with Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, who will be chairman of the powerful Foreign Relations Committee in the next Senate, mak- ing his first address since the docu- ment became public
 Chairman Hitchcock of the Foreign Relations Committee, denounced as preposterous Senator Lodges sugges- tion that the league would take from America it's right of self-defense.
 Senator Lodge, speaking before an audience which included diplomatic representatives of several foreign na- tions, deplored proposals to give pow CTS to the league which he said would cause the Monroe Doctrine to dis appear" would abridge American sovereignty and in the end promote misunderstanding and war instead of peace.
 He assailed especially the provis- ions for territorial guarantees, man datories and disarmament Beside demanding revision of these clauses, he declared that domestic questions, such as immigration, should be defl- nitely placed beyond authority of the league. He said the entire document was loosely drawn, admitting of wide interpretation, and added that it of construction impossible.

Mamma, what is the difference be- tween a ham actor and q bum actor?'
 The careful mother gave the child's question a moments profound consid- eration before replying.
 "Well, my son." she said slowly, so that the youthful m4ld would get the full comprehension and be able to dis criminate thoroughly through all flu ture time, "a bum actor would indig- nantIy resent being called a ham ac- tor, but d ham actor would not care at all how much he was called a bum actor if he could still draw his sal ary."
