First Bottle Helps Him.

81 have just finished taking the
first bottle of Meritone now and it
has helped my kidneys greatly and is
building up my strength.
II consider it my duty to recon-
mcnd Meritone because of the good
l know it has done me and am will
ing to tell anybody personally about
what it has done for me-"
Mr.. Digger got another bottle of
Meritone and said he intended to
cont ue with it until he was entirely
relieved of the weakened condition,
The influenza left him in, because he
knew after taking the first bottle,
that Meritone was bringing back his
strength.
Others who are weakened and run
down after influenza or pneumonia
are advised to take Mcritone to cor
rect ailing conditions of the stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, or to combat
catarrahal conditions or rheumatism
or overcome slecplcssnoso or lack of
appetite.
Meritone is sold exclusively in
Union City by Henry M. Oliver.

The League of Nations.

President Wilson has expressed his
wish that the submitted plan of the
proposed League of Nations should be
thoroughly discussed before and by
the people, asserting that it was two
great thing to be decided by just a
few men. Such a wish is perfectly
fair and democratic. And we should
consider the LcCgue candidly, with
out passion, prejudice, credulity or
even enthusiams. Because it is a
matter of such grave and far-reach-
ing consequences that only facts, rea
son and cool consideration should bal
ance the scale of our judgement.
Even enthusiasm and play of fine
rhetoric, such as some are using, in
dealing with q subject like this be-
trays a lack of facts. logic or sin
GER ty, and are apt to dazzle and also
deceive. A Plato or Bacon does not
enthuse, they present fCcts and rea-
son; so let us do liRcwise, as far as
we may, in deeling with the League.
Some of our greatest statesmen
have exactly opposite views about the
League. So none of us should in the
least try to impeaeh the judgment
of those who may differ from us. 1t
is the voice of the whole people that
we all need to heed.
There is much about the Constitu-
tion of the League in it's application
and effects, of course, that I do not
understand, Cs have had neither the
time nor opportunity to study them
out; so l only propose briefly to speak
Of some very obvious, but none the
less sd ient provisions and applicG-
lions of the League constitution,
which most any layman can COM
prchend.
LEADERSHIP OF GREAT MEN.
The greatest men have always been
the worlds leaders and l suppose
always shall be, but it does not neces-
sarily follow that they arc always
safe leaders. Very superior intellects
are often unevenly developed, being
highly proficient in some respect and
deficient in other respects. Hence, at
very critical time, they may go
strangely awry, when more ordi-
nary man, and, about the matter in
volved, sensible or considerable man
would be safer counselor or guide.
Napoleon was iunmistak ably the
greatest intellect of his age. But
Napoleon, from some cause or other,
committed the great blunder, against
the advice of some Of his generals.

Voyage of a Ship.

WASHINGTON, Dee l2.-Profits made
by ship owners during the war were
fabulous" and unbelievable, John II.

realized enormous profits on some ships,
he said. but the earnings of privately
owned vessels were even greater.
One ship operating under the board as
cargo carrier between San Francisco
and Calcutta earned in one voyage of
10 days more than 100000, he said
This netted the board approximately
S75o,000 over the compensation allowed
to owners and other expenses.

under arrangements with the italian gov
ernment. earned S597 ,622, net profits.
