TORTURED TEXAS
 WOMAN WRITES
Standing On Her Feet Torture 10 This Lady. Had to Ride Everywhere She Went, Until
 Cardui Brought Relief.

Mckinney, Texas.-Mrs. A. B. Sto- wall, of this place, writes: "Some time ago I was in a critical condi- ton. We only lived two squares from town, yet I wasn't able to walk the two squares.
 had to ride everywhere went and suffered at that, but not so much as when I tried to walk. Standing on my feet was torture.
 My greatest suffering was in my right side. It was so sore and I felt if stepped down or jared myself the least bit I could not stand it, so just walked mostly tiptoe. This kept up until I was just about dis couraged and decided I had best try something else.
 Someone told me of Cardui, and where it had benefited cases similar to mine. I felt at least it would not hurt to give it trial.
 After my first bottle I felt better there was less pain and soreness in my side.
 After my third bottle of Cardui I was well and have been ever since."
 Cardui may be just what you need. Try it.-Adv.

To wash all wool fannels, sweaters and blankets, by method that will prevent them from shrinking, is the ambition of every careful housewife. It is said that this may be accomplish ed by washing them in cold water in which boraX and white soap have been dissolved. The proportion seems to be about level tablespoonful of borax and one-fourth of a cake of soap to two or three gallons of water, depend ing upon the degree of hardness of the water. To wash sweater, use enough water to cover it generously. Let the sweater soak an hour, then squeeze it out, but do not wiring it. if necessary put through d second wa ter which has been softened with borax and white soap. AfterWard rinse very thoroughly in several cold waters and put through wringer. Then pull it into shape and dry it. Blankets and flannels may be successfully washed in this way.
 It is said fluffy, knitted garments of wool should not be hung up to dry. This process for washing them and then drying them so that they will look like new, is given by some au- thorities. Make a warm suds of wa ter and white soap; wash the garment and rinse thoroughly Run through a wringer and place in a pan in which towel has been laid. Take the gar ment out occasionally and shake it, thus allowing it to dry gradually and with many Sh1kinpS

partially true of 1ndustrials, which are rapidly getting back to normal peace basis.
 As already stated, a good business is expected this year in the agricul- tural and industrial districts, because of 5ig crops at. good prices and plenty of work at good wages. Depression, if it exists anywhere, is chiefly con- fined to financial and commercial cir cIes in the great cities, where defia- ton, necessary after the war is chiefly felt. To begin with, there has been not a little intentional contrac- tion of credit, the design being to stop dangerous imitation. Even noW the monetary situation is far from satisfactory. Despite the fact that peace is here, the government re- quirements are higher than ever, OW- ing to the necessity of meeting pre- vious obligations. The last loan is all ready spent and billions more will be needed. For some months to come i the government will continue to ab- sorb the bulk of the countrys saw ings, and money will be relatively i scarce for new enterprises no matter 1 how much they may be needed. For ] this reason artificial control of the money market is still partially in force, and early relief is not in sight. l Under such a variety Of unfavorable i influences a fall in security prices was inevitable Commodity prices i likewise show signs of weakness; and
 long headed merchants are banking upon a lower level during 1919. It is known that merchandise bankers are encouraging large holders of ner- ] chandise to reduce their surplus stocks, Of which there are not a few.
 There is no widespread scarcity of necessities; on the contrary, there is
 often an abundance, and the chief trouble is mal-distrihution.
 1 The sharp fall in Liberty bonds at { tracted considerable comment, espe-
 cialIy when COT trasted with the ad-
 vance in government bonds of allied
 nations; the British and French IS.
 sues having shown a marked advance
 since the armistice. The reasons fo1
 decline of Liberty issues seem tc
 have been selling by small holders fol
 holiday trade, by large holders tc prepare for the next loan or to re- lease the large sums thus tied up
 while not a few big holders sold tt
 establish losses for taxation pur
 poses. Still another cause of weak
 ness was selling of bonds that hat
 been distributed as dividends Trac
 ton issues were weak owing to tn receivership of B. R. T. and the fresl
 stimulus given to municipal owner ship theories by the new governor O this State. As for future of the steel market, it must be remembered tha
 a very considerable decline has take1
 place, that in consequence the tech
 nAeal condition of the market ha been considerably strengthened, an
 that in case of favorable develop
 mcnts quite a recovery would be pos
 sible. For the moment, however onI conservative commitments should re ceive serious consideration.

ciatcd Press .-Austria's National AS
sembly met yesterday for considera-
ton of the peace treaty framed by
the peace conference at Paris and
signed at St. Germain September 10
last.
The treaty was referred to a special
committee, the government programme
being carried out in an uneventful
session.
1t is probable that the treaty com
mittee will make its report by the end
Of the week, when it is expected that
the ratification of the instrument will
take place.

PARIS, Oct. 16-The exchange of
German peace treaty ratifications, put

according to semi official French
sources to-day.
The British and italian ratified
copies of the treaties were deposited
with the peace conference secretariat
yesterday.
1t is explained that the delay in the
formal exchange of ratihcations was
caused by the amount of mechanical
work necessary in preparing the docu-
mcnts to be issued and to take effect

at the proper time to strike out the
three sections Of the treaty relating
30 Shantung, thus obtaining another
vote on the question in slightly differ
ent form. The amendment voted down
to-day would have given the German
concessions to China instead Of Japan.
The vote promised by Mr.. Lodge o-day
would merely strike out the provisions
swing these concessions to Japan.
1t is held by the international law
yers in the Senate that the effect of
this would be the same, since they say
China's title to these concessions be-
came absolute the moment she de-
clared war on Germany. There is q
distinction, however, which may in
crease the strength little on the next
vote. That Is that under the new pro-
posal the United States would not be
interfering so directly in Asiatic af-
fairs
Hale's Detection a Blow
The, detection of Senator Hale was
the hardest blow to the friends of the
Johnson amendment. He had not been
counted on to vo.e for the Shantung
amendment, nor had any of the other
Republicans who bolted the committee
programme. There were virtually no
surprises in days vote. 1t was in
the speeches that the shocks came.
OF the Foreign Relations Commit
tees original forty-tive amendments
only three now remain to be voted on.
They are the Johnson and Moses
amendments equalizing the voting
power of the United States and Great
Britain and the last of Senator Falls
amendments prohibiting the Amc crican
representative On the Reparations
Commission from taking part in any
questions except those directly affect
ing America.
Senator Johnson delivering in sup
port of the amendment the first speech
he had made since his return from his
Western speaking tour, said:
"If the United States condones this
wrong to China it Will be the first time
we have ever been a party to the de-
spelling Of that nation. | insist that
we ought not to be bluffed into failing
to do what is our plain duty. The de-
ought to be made upon the moral prin-
ciple involved. If it is, the Senate will
vote to cut out this infamy from the
treaty"
Senators Kellogg, Hale. Townsend,
Sterling and Smoot previously had an
nounced that they would vote for a
reservation on the Shantung award, but
that as an amendment would involve
sending the treaty back to the prin-
cipal signatory powers they could not
support it.
Hale for Reservation
Senator Hale said that while he dis
approved the Shantung provisions in
the treaty, he felt that the "wisest'

Allies Act to Force
Rumanian Withdrawal

PARIS, Oct. 16-The Supreme Coun-
Gil of the peace conference decided to-
day to send representative to Buda
pest to deal with new complications in
the situation there. The emissary Sc
lected is Sir George Clerk, who was
sent last week by the council to Bucha
rest with q note to the Rumanian gov
ernment in connection with the Ru-
manian occupancy of Hungary.
The decision to dispatch him now to
the Hungarian capital was caused by
the receipt of a telegram from the
inter-Alled mission in Budapest com
planning of the dilatory tactics of the
Rumanians and demanding that they
be compelled to withdraw from Hun
gary Immediately.
The telegram from the Inter Allied
mission was couchcd in the strongest
terms, and the council decided that it
must be given prompt attention. Sir
George was to depart this evening on
his new mission
New-York tribune., 1919-10-17

pohcy was to express disapproval
through reservation in which the
United States could affirm its refusal
to be held to any judgment Of the
league relating to the Shantung rights.
Unless reservations are made to this
treaty that will make the position of
the United States clear both as to
the league assembly, | shall cast my
( vote against the treaty" said Mr.. Hale.
so far as the treaty is concerned,
the Shantung provision is in force"
said Senator Sterling. CAN the United
States can do is to decline, through
reservation, to become a party to it,
With the United States in the league
OF nations we can accomplish much to
rectify the injustice done to China"
Senator Smith. Democrat, of Georgia,
argued that a reservation would better
accomplish what the Senate sought to do.
Senators Jones, of Washington, and
Sherman, of Illinois declared that they
would vote for the amendments and
reservations offered by the Foreign Re-
lations Committee.
Wants Explicit Interpretation
II do not see how the question of
Japanese immigration is involved in this
1 treaty." said Senator Phclan. "We will
I
volved immigration, naturalization, cleo
tive franchise and ownership and inter
marriage. 1t was rejected at Paris.
These are domestic questions in which
the league of nations has no concern.
Lest there be doubt under Article
XI as to the power of the league to
have jurisdiction in these matters,
would favor an explicit interpretative
reservation on the matter"
Senator La Toilette finished the de-
bate on the Shantung amendment, de-
ouncing it as a burglary" in which,
he said, the United States was asked
to participate.
Aside from the developments with
regard to the johnson amendment the
sensation Of the day was sprung by
Senator John Sharp Williams, of
Mississippi. He launched a bitter at
tack on the Irish Americans and other
hyphenates. He praised the Confed-
crate veterans and urged the Irish
both here and in Ireland, to follow
their example in yielding wnen 1t ap-
pears that there is no use in fighting
longer.
This stung Senator Phelan, of Cali
fornia. a Democrat and an Irish
American, who is for the treaty with
out amendments or reservations, into
retorting that the South failed because
it "did not have moral stamina be-
The Williams attack on the Irish
also startled Senator Gerry, Democrat
Of Rhode Island, into reply strongly
resenting Mr. Williams charges.
Administration Leader Hitchcock was
obviously worried when Mr. Williams
intimated that some of the Irish letters
he had received threatened him with
