BRAZILIAN BALM
For Spanish Influenza

AS the Balm is the only thing ever
discovered that kills every germ-and
cures pneumonia-neverh having lost a
case yet In 40 years, many people have
learned this fact and sent to us by
scores for S1O0 bottles-hence the
Druggists should keep this size on
hand. They can always get it OF Mr..
Danforth, of Washington, or any Phil
adelphia or Baltimore wholesale house.
Every retail druggist ought to have a
dozen bottles at least. Some retail
ers are buying three dozen, and order
ing them by parcels post. People
should saturate themselves with the
Balm to kill this tough germ. 1t saves
every case. B. F. Jackson & Co.,

PRESIDENT and
TAFT SPEAK ON
NATION LEAGUE
Are Given Great Ovation by
Crowds on Appearance in
New York.
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, March 5.-President
Wilson and former President Taft
were given a great ovation by an en-
thusiastic crowd, when they spoke
from the same platform here Tuesday
night, in the interest of the league
OF nations. The meeting was held
at the Metropolitan opera house. Gov
ernor Smith presided and introduced
both speakers.
The first speech was delivered by
Mr.. Taft, who defended the league
and declared his hope that the pres
ident would have 1t Incorporated with
the treaty of peace and see then
whether the senate would reject it.
Mr.. Wilson was cheered for three
minutes, while the band played I'VE
Won't Come Back Till It's Over, Over
There"
Il accept the invitation the band
has Just played" said Mr.. Wilson. II
will not come back till it's over, over
there"
Favored by Nation.
The president declared he was con-
WINGED by "unmistakeble evidence
from all parts of the country" that the
nation was in favor of the league Of
nations.
II am more happy because this
means this is not a party ISSUE" he
said, land not party in the long run
will dare oppose it."
Mr.. Taft was greeted with loud
hand clapping when he arose to speak.
The president smiled broadly when
Mr.. Taft referred to the resolution in
troduced In the senate Tuesday by
Senator Lodge proposing the rejection
Of the league of nations constitution
as now drawn.
Responsibility with Congress.
IF the president insists, as l hope
he will, said Mr.. Taft, that the league
be incorporated in the peace treaty
and brings 1t back, then the respon-
sibility for postponing peace Is with
the body that refuses to ratify it,
Referring to the argument against
league that the participation of the
United States would be in opposi-
ton to the principles laid down by
George Washington, Mr.. Taft declar-
ed he believed If George Washington
II he lived today, would be lone of the
most earnest and pressing for the
covenant"
Washington's attack on "entangling
alliances" he said, was an attack on
defensive and offensive alliances
with one nation against another"

Kansas Governor Don't Want War.

The other day the Kansas legisla-
ture passed law providing that the
Federal migratory bird law could be
violated in the state and even went
$50 far as to provide that any Federal
officer attempting to enforce the law
should be arrested and thrown into
Jail. In vetoing the law Gov. Allen
says that inasmuch as the world war
took all of the Kansas National
Guard and that the Kansas Home
Guard is not sufficiently equipped,
especially with artillery. tThe Gov
ernor is strong for artillery, which,
he claims was lacking i'll some of the
battles in France) to fight the Unit
ed States army at the preent time, he
is forced to disapprove the bill. He
says Kansas can furnish plenty Of
gas. which is self-evident fact, but
unfortunately it is not OF kind that
can be utilized in war, other than
verbal war The Governor is mil
itaFy- expert was -M..G,A.
secretary in France and ever since he
returned home he has been telling of
the horrible mistakes made by the.
American generals. and the Kansas
legislators had better take his word
for it as he knows more about war
than Grant, Lee, Napoleon and Alex
lander, all put together.

Failure.

Washington. March 2o.-Approxi-
mately one ont OF every nine mar
riages in the United States is termi-
mated by divorce, according to fig
ures compiled by the bureau of cen

Excluding South Carolina, whsre
all laws permitting divorce were re-
tpealed in 1873, the three lowest di-
vorce rates in 1916, for which year
the returns are now complete, are
shown for the District of Columbia
North Carolina and New York,
where the rates were IS, 81 and 81
per 100000 population. The highest
rates were returned for Nevada,
Montana and Oregon. which show
COZ, 323 and 225, respectively.
In all states except Maine, West
Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi. North Dakota, South
