"CAN / BE
CURED?" SAYS
THE SUFFERER

How often have you heard that sad
cry from the victims of disease. Per-
haps the disorder has gone too far for
help, but oftener it is just in its first
stages and the pains and aches are only
natures first cries for help. Do not
despair. Find out the cause and give
nature all the help you can and she
will repay you with health. Look after
the kidneys. The kidneys are the most
overworked organs of the human body,
and when they fail in their work of
filtering and throwing off the poison
that constantly accumulates in the sys-
tenn, everything goes wrong. GOLD
MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules will
give almost immediate relief from kid
ney and bladder troubles and their kim
dred ailments. They will free your
body from pain in short order. But be
sure to get GOLD MEDAL. Look for

According to the reports there were
twelve German war vessels, besides
destroyers, which were in German
waters, not having been turned over
to the entente under the armistlce pro-
visions.
Bulletins announcing the German
fleet had been sunk in Scapa Flow ar

people were given their first informal
ton through noon editions.
In a more auspicious political stu
alton, the news might have caused an
outburst of enthusiasm, but the public
was not moved to demonstration The
admiralty has received nothing beyond
brief bulletin, which came by way

Commenting upon the sinking of the

might have been able to force an IN

Nevertheless" it continues, "it was
a handsome deed"
! The Neue Gazette says:
"The officers and men who perform
ed this deed may be forgiven. They

trained. On the other hand, if their
action carries with it injurious results

1T will be remembered this propose

nresented TO the senate December 5,
1918. before the president left Tor
Europe, and was pigeonholed IN the
committee on foreign relations, then
under Democratic control
An amendment to the resolution was
offered by Senator Hale, Republican,
Maine, expressing general sympathy
with the idea of league Of nations
and declaring the willingness of the
United States to enter any league
consistent with its traditions. In an
address supporting the amendment
Senator Hale said the present pro-
posaI would "violate every principle
of this country" and would be direct
menace to, our interests.
Senator Knox's announcement caus,

general inference was that another ac-

would be postponed until the treaty
actually came to the senate for rati'

Most Common of Bodily Ills.

By far the most common of bodily
ills is constipation. The usual cause
is the Indifference of many people to
Natures call. The inclination is not
needed, or it is put off until a more
convenient time. When this is done
repeatedly, constipation is almost
sure to follow. 1t is of the utmost
Importance that everyone establish
a certain time for the bowels to
move each day and let nothing inter
fere with it. When that is done and
proper food and exercise are taken
and an abundance of drinking water,
the bowels are not likely to give
much trouble. When a laxative is
required take Chamberlain's Tablets.
They are mild and gentle, easy to
take and agreeable in effect.-Adv.
