SHORT TERM
NOTEFOR NEW
LOAN IS PLAN
House Committee Would Fix
the Terms by Leg
islation

Washington, Feb. 19.-Short term
years, would be offered in the forth
coming victory Liberty Loan cam
paign. instead of long term notes,
under a tentative agreement reached
by the House Ways and Means Com
mittee to fix the terms of the loan
by legislation rather than to give
Secretary Glass wide discretionary
powers to determine them, as he had
asked. At the same time, Secretary
Glass in a statement explained that
the intensive popular campaign
would be conducted as planned, re-
gardless of the terms arranged by
Congress and that 1t would start not
later. than April 81.
Under the tentative agreement Of
the committee, reached in executive
session at which Assistant Secretary
LeffingwelL OF the treasury, was
present. Secretary Glass would be
given discretion on issuing any one
or several of four kinds of notes to
be prescribed by the legislation. The
quantity of these non--negotiable Sc
curfttes would be limited to probab-
lysS7, ,000.0O0,00 of which the treas
ury now plans to issue only about six
billions.
The principal features of the four
kinds of notes proposed would be as
follows:
One class would be at a low rate
of interest, possibly four per cent,
and exempt from all federal taxation;
one would be at a comparatively
high rate. possibly five per cent, and
subject to federal taxes; a third
would bear a moderate rate of inter
est-4A per cent, was suggested -
and be exempt from normal tax lev
les; the fourth would be exempt from
taxation up to certain amount.

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
What Doctor Pierce Has
Done For Humanity!
BY DOCTOR CRIPPs.

1t has always seemed to me that
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, should
be placed near the top when a list
of Americas great benefactors is
written. He studied and conquered
human diseases to a degree that few
realize. Whenever he found a rem
edy that overcame disease, he at
once announced it in the newspa-
pers and told where it could be
bought at a small price. He did
not follow the usual custom of
keeping the ingredients secret, so
that the rich only could afford to
buy the medicine; but openly
printed the name of each root and
herb he used. And so today the
names of DR.. Pierce and his medi-
cines are widely known, and they
stand for better health and better
citizenship.
One of this great physicians most
successful remedies is known as
Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
These are little, sugar-coated pills,
composed of Mayapple, leaves OF
aloe, root of jalap-things that
Nature grows in the ground. These
Pellets are safe because they move
the bowels gently, leaving no bad
after effects, as SO many pills do.
Very often they make a person who
takes them feel like a new man or
woman, for they cleanse the intes-
tines of hard, decayed and poi
sonous matter that accumulates
when one is costive. If you are
constipated, by all means go to your
druggist and get some of DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They may prove
to be the very thing your system
requires to make you we'll and
happy.

Carranza's Delay.

Senior Carranza, President of Mex
leo, is disposed to daily with the de-
mand of the American government
for the release of Consular Agent
Jenkins. No reply has been received
to the note sent by the State Depart
m ent asking for immediate restoration
of Mr.. Jenkins to liberty, and there
is no indication when reply will be
forthcoming. limitations are given
that the government at Mexico City
may refuse and seek to justify its
course on the ground that jenkins is
guilty of conspiracy with the brigands
of Pt1ebla to embarrass the govern
ment. Having made its demand on
the bs sis of jenkins innocence of this
charge. the State Department can hard
ly retract without a very serious loss
of prertige south Of the Rio Grande.
1t must be assumed that this govern
ment is wholly satisfied in the prem
ises.
Apart from the Jenkins case, how
ever, thu relations with Mexico are
most unsatisfactory. The govern
ment at Mexico City takes no pains
to conceal its purpose to embarrass
and annoy the United States at every
possible turn. When compelled to.
act in reparation or restitution in
cases where American rights have been
violated it does 50 with ill grace and
in a spirit of compulsion. An indefi-
mite continuation of this condition is
impossible. There must be change
below the border that will result in
the establishment of a strong, de-
pendable government which can guar
antee to safeguard the rights of our
nationals and the security of our off
Gals within that territory, or the
United States must, greatly as it will
deplore the necessity, move in inter
vention to bring about that change.
