DECISION IS DUE
War Between Democracy and
Terrorism Is Coming.
Socialist Conference in Lucerne
Holds Master Key.

Paris, Jan. 1.-THE war between
democracy and terrorism will be
largely decided at the international
labor and socialist congress in Berne
this month, declared Arthur Hender-
son, British labor leader, in an inter
view with the United Press today.
Henderson explained this was the
reason the government had tacitly
supported the proposal of British Ia
Dor that German and Russian dele
gates be admitted to the congress.
1.-The last hope in democracies is at
stake" he said. THE issue is democ-
racy versus terrorism. Between the
two the western world can not long
delay it's choice.
I'VE speak for organized society in
it's most real sense. We are prepared
to stand between civilization and
chaos. Now that the governments are
beginning to realize that fact, there
is little likelihood of them ever re-
verting to the idea that we Qabor
men) are to be feared"
Henderson said the allied 1aborites
and Socialists have drawn up a pro-
gram for their principles, the reforms
they desire. etc, which they are ready
now to present to the representatives
of the central powers and neutral ma
tons. The Berne congress will differ
from the peace conference in this re-
spect, since the allies will be occu-
pied at Paris for months in reaching
an agreement before presenting their
program to the central powers.

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like plain BitrO-Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength. Vfgor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually ing
advertised for the purpose of making thin
people fleshy. developing arms, neck aud
bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines OF health
and beauty. there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there Is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-pRosphate. which Is mex
pensive and is sdld by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phns-
phate quickly produces a welcome trans
formation in the appearance: the increase
in weight frequently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
with ii general improvement int h. health
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of en-
ergy, which nearly always accompany eN-
cessive thinness, soon disappear, dull eyes
become bright, and pale cheeks glow with
the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION-Although bitro-phosphate is
unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessnesS and general weakness, 1t
should not owing to its rema rkabl flesh
growing properties. be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.-Adv.

CUTS TITLE ABSTRACT
Anspaugh Senate Bill Would Also
Simplify Mortgage Record.

Clerks in the Offices of the registers
of deeds and title and abstract COM
panies will be saved much work if
bill to be introduced in the senate by
Anspaugh, of Coffey, becomes a law.
1t provides practically for the elimina-
ton of an abstract of title and greatly
shortens the wording of instruments
used in the conveyance of lands as
well as land mortgages.
The proposed bill was drawn under
the supervision of Judge c. A. Smart.
of Ottawa, and is said to have the
approval of many of the leading law
yers of the state. Senator Anspaugh
labor in the offices of the registers of
deeds and will greatly reduce the
clerk hire, proving a saving in more
ways than one.
The general warranty deed form
will not contain more than a dozen
lines and it is estimated that it will
be possible to record it for a fee of
about twenty-five cents. 1t will sim
ply give the name of the grantor. the
name Of the grantee, the considera
ton and a description of the real es-
tate.
When properly signed, dated and
acknowledged this instrument will
constitute conveyance in fee simple
and will show that the real estate is
free from all membranes except as
thereon noted and that the grantor
will warrant and defend it against all
lawful claims.
The instruments recording the mort
gage on land also will be very brief.
1t will give the name of the mort
eager, the name of the MORTGAGE, a
description of the land, the considera-
ton for which it is security and date
of payment.
Such a mortgage will give the mort
gage all the rights of foreclosure
nov enjoyed, all the rights to force
the repairing and insuring of build
ings and the same right to pay taxes
on the building now given under the
existing law.
Senator Anspaugh says that a SINH
lar law has been in effect in the state
OF Pennsylvania for number of
years and that it has been found sat
isfactory in every way.

The outstanding features In the new

One of them is a utility model depend

buttons for garnlshing. The three
quarter length coat, with narrow front

belt slips under straps of cloth and
fastens with a small buckle at the

A dressler suit Of velours shows a
repetition of set-in panels at each side
of the coat, but these panels are made
of narrow vertical plaits set on under
the arms. They extend eight inches
below the bottom of the coat and are
finished with band Of fur. There, Is
a long shawl collar Of fur, and the mar
row belt Of cloth fastens with but

skin, squirrel, mole, and raccoon and
other pelts which are not so easy TO
recognize, are chosen for suits, but

the state live stock sanitary board.
The hog growers of that section have
decided it is most profitable for them
to produce feeder hogs because the
high price and limited quantity Of corn
In their vicinity available for feeding
purposes make the fattening of hogs
hazardous undertaking. On the 9TH
er hand alfalfa hay is grown in album
dance, and the pasture afforded Is
keenly rellshed by the hogs. Hence
the project farmers are limiting their
operations to feeder-hog production.
A cooperative live stock shipping as
ISOLATION has been organized on the
Belle Fourche project to market the
hogs In unique fashion this fall. The
plan is to secure carload orders for
these hogs so that they may be shipped
out In small train loads for delivery
to points east Of the Missouri river.
The idea is to have about fifteen cars
of hogs in each train, these cars being
loaded at Newell and Nisland on the
project and to be carried to destina-
ton, without stopping for feed or wa
ter, within the 36-hour limit. Infor-
! nation is being promulgated among
the prospective buyers along the route
regarding the freight rates on a mini
mum car Of feeder hogs so that they
can estimate accurately the gross cost
Of such a load of quality feeders de-
livered at their destination. The hogs
sold during the fall of 1918 ranged
from 16 to q cents a pound I. o. b,
cars, some of the loads being sold
above the market quotation and some
Of them under.
The Belle Fourche plan of marked

other stock raisers and feeders In va
rious sections of the country. illustrat-
ing, as 1t does. a new method Of feed
er-animal distribution. Handling
through a cooperative shipping asso-
citation directly from the producer to
the purchaser makes It certain that
the buyer will receive the hogs at his
station at minimum cost for handling
in transit. Furthermore, the fact that
the animals come from cholera-free
country Is positive insurance against
losses from that disease, If the hogs
are not exposed to infection In transit
or subsequent to their delivery at then
new homes. Prospects are that In the
i future many South Dakota farmers In
the eastern part Of the state who raise
considerable corn and make practice
of feeding the grain to hogs will rely

Approximately 100 carloads of cholera

by Nebraska farmers who fatten and

spuns and serviceable tweeds and pro-

weaves with a suede or velvet finish,
of the same character as duvetyn, are
dominant In the handsomer suits.
Skirts have not been shortened in
the face of the precedent set by Paris.
For street wear they remain ankle
length and are generally plain. The
coats the thing. Designers have de-
