DAILY HEALTH TALKS
What Doctor Pierce Has
Done For Humanity
(BY DOCTOR CRIPPs)

It has always seemed to me that d..
Pierce of Buffalo. ". r, should be
placed near the top when list Of
Americas great benefaetors is written.
He studied and conquered human dis
eases to degree Mat few realize.
Whenever he found a remedy that
overcame disease. he at once announced
it in the newspapers and told where it
could be bought at a small price. He
did not follow the usual custom Of
keeping the ingredients secret. so that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine. but openly printed the name
Of each root and herb he used. And SO
today the names Of DR.. Pierce and his
medicines are widely known, and they
stand for better health and better citi-
zenshp.
One of this great physicians most
successful remedies is known as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. These are
little. sugar-coated pills, composed Of
Mayapple. leaves Of aloe, root Of jalap-
things that Nature grows in the ground.
These Pellets are safe because they
move the bowels gently. leaving no bad
after-effects. as SO many pills do Very
often they make person who takes
them feel like new man or woman, for
they cleanse the intestines Of hard
decayed and poisonous matter that ac-
when one is costive. If you
are constipa1ed. by all means so TO your
druggist and get some of DR.. Pierce.
Pleasant Pellets. They may prove to
be the very thing your system requires
to make you well and happy,-Adv.

The Goxarnor's Address

game and every other game thereaft-
or for his team. When the regiment
sailed for France there was one game
to be played to decide the champion
also won. After the cup was present
ed to the Battery, the boys were ord
cred to the front and the question
arose as to what should be done
with it. It was the unanimous opin-
ion Of the team that Johnson had won
it and that he should be the custo-
dian. 1t was therefore presented to
him and arrived in Belfast ON Sat-

The Balance Of Power

The Balance Of Power
A league Of nations that includes
at the start ALL nations Of the
world would be no better than the
present state of affairs. 1t must be
gradually built up in membership
like any other organization. and its
members must be only those who are
able and ready to fulfil all the quail
f1cations for membership. 1t Is con-
ceivable that in process of time by
education and example. all nations
including even Germany. Turkey and
Bulgaria. might become eligible and
could give guarantees to live up to
the principles Of honesty, fair deal
ing and justice which must underlie
the constitution of such league.
From a careful reading of Premier
Clemenceau's speech Of Dec. 70 it
seems evident that he had similar
concept in mind when he said:
There is an old system Of alliances
called the balance of power 1t seems
to be condemned nowadays. but if sucn
a balance had preceded the war; II
England. the United States. France and
Italy had agreed. say. that whoever. at
tackled one of them attacked the who'll
world, the war would not have &C.
CURED. This system Of alliances. which
! do not renounce. will be my guiding
thought at the peace conference if youc
confidence sends me there"
AS he uses the term "balance Of
power" 1t means balance Of peace"
or balance Of right" Certainly it
does not mean balance Of power in
the sense Of assuming that one or
two or three or four nations shall
hold the world against all corners. for
purposes Of their own preferment.
Nor does the term as he used it
mean balance" in the sense Of
Equilibrium" that is. one large nation
championing small one in its quar-
rel with some other large nation in
order to prevent its rival becoming
unduly great and powerful. This is
evidently what balance Of power"
means to President Wilson, judging
from his speech Of Dec. 80 at Man.
