PEACE TREATY BY EASTER
SAYS. LLOYD GEORGE
British Premier COunsiels Public TO
Have Calm Observation-Disclosures of
Details Delay Negotiations.

The preliminary peace treaty will
be ready by Easter and the Germans
will be asked to come and sign it at
the end of April or the beginning of
May, Premier Lloyd George of Great
Britain declared in an interview Mon
day with Stephane Lausanne, editor of
The Matin.
In answer to a remark by Mr.. Lau-
zanne that what troubled public opin-
ion was not so much the delay as the
secrecy in which the peace negotiat-
ions were wrapped and the fear that
there was some divergence of opinion,
the British premier said:
Il affirm absolutely that there is no
divergence among the negotiators.

IF TOO thin
TRY BITRO-
PHOSPHATE

While excessive thinness might be
attributed to various and subtle
causes in different individuals, IL is q
well-known fact that the lack of phos-
phorous in the human system is very
largely responsible for this condition.
II seems to be well established that
this deficiency in PHOSPHORUS may
now be met by the use OF Bitro-
Phosphate. which can be obtained
from Peoples Drug stores or any
good druggist in convenient tablet
form.
In many instances the assimilation
Of this phosphate by the nerve tissue
soon produces a welcome change
nerve tension disappears, vigor and
strength replace weakness and lack
Of energy and the whole body loses
its ugly hollows and abrupt angles
becoming enveloped in a glow of per
feet health and beauty and the viii
and strength to be up and doing.
CAUTION:-While Bitro- Phosphate
Is unsurpassed for the relief Of ner-
vousness. general debility, etc, those

She Kept Her Locks Dark and
Glossy With Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur. no one can
tell. because it's done so naturally.

though, at home is mussy and
troublesome. At little cost you can
buy at any drug store the ready-to-
use preparation. improved by the
addition of other ingredients called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with IL and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. BY morning all
gray hair disappears, and, after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxurisnt.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace. IS a sign of old age, and as
we all desire q youthful and attrac-
tive appearance, get busy at once
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com

PRECEDENT FOR SHORT WORD
Nothing Shocking In Proposal to Sub
stitute "Ad" for the Longer
Advertisement"

One Of the simplifcations pro-
posed by the latest list OF simpliiied
spellings Is the elimination from
usage he big word advertise
ment' and the substitution therefor
Of the little word "ad;" and in this
case one may believe that the change
will not be difficult to bring about.
It falls pat with the common ten
dency for some time past to speak Of
an "ad" instead Of an advertise
ment." One can make the change,
for example, in Addison's remark
about lads" in the Taller, and not
be particularly shocked to read that
"the great art in writing ads is the
finding out a proper method to catch
the readers eye" which goes to show
incidentally that even in the DAYS Of
Queen Anne the basic factor Of this
art was perfectly well established. As
Addison remarked also, "a man that
is by no means big enough for the
gazette, may easily creep into the
ads" although NOWADAYS one would
hardly say that creeping described
the inyariable manner Of entrance.

it would be difficult to convince Ad-

was about to depart from England

SAVING COAL.

The opinion arrived at during re-
cent years by electrical men that
much needed saving Of fuel would
result from the eiectrifcation Of rail
roads appears to be confirmed by a
report recently presented before the
Western Railway club, according to
the Electrical Review, in which it
was proved that 1O0,000,000 of the
i4O,000,000 tons OF coal now burned
annually by our railroads could be
saved by general eleotrification. 'ln
view" says the Electrical Review.
"of the continued, if not increasing,
need for conserving the fuel re-
sources of the country for future
generations. the urgency of attack
ing the problem and at least check
ing this gigantic waste should be
given prompt and careful atten-
ton"

GREAT POET LITTLE KNOWN

another great poet, a poet of Shake

the eighteenth century, known only
to the German poets, Goethe, Heine
and Herder. who translated him into
German, has been suddenly revealed
as a figure TO be added TO the FIVE
great poets Of the world. Lthuania's
plea for Independence has focused
attention on this pest, whose work is
inspiraiional in quality.
Donelaitis was not popular poet.
lie was radical, His fame grew
after his death. Most important Of
all his works is the hexameter poem,
"lhe Four Seasons" which. like all
ether Lithuanian poems, is symbolic.
In Lithuania. even the ordinary
speech of She peasant is charged with
symbolism and hyperbolical turns. A
Lithuanian speaks about trees, lakes.
forests. flowers. the sky, the sun, the
moon aud the planets, but what he
really wants to speak about, his joys
and sorrows, his love and his
haIreds, is only delicately limited at.
