Columbus Ga.-Several diScove
ries Of large quantities of liquor on
farms near ColNmbus the past few
days have led to toe suggestion
from a leading citizen--lawyer tina,
the lave lie 50 amended as to allow
conflscation by the state of all farms

is located in an automobile.
He expresses the opion that such

HEED OLD ADACE
OUNCE OF PREVENTION BETTER
THAN POUND OF CURE

With influenza making inrOads into
the health of the country, the old
adage: AN Ounce Of Prevention is
Better Than 4 Pound OF Cure" never
meant more than it does now.
A 3-Oz. bottle of Williams 1910
Tonic will save many pounds of cure.
101 Tonic contains Quinine, Iron,and
Magnesia. This is a proper combina-
ton where cases of Colds, LaGrippe
Fever, and Malaria. as weell as flu
are go be treated or warded off.
During. the Influenza epidemic
which covered the country in October
1918, the sales of 10l Tonic increased
more than 500 percent. This proves
that 1Ol Tonic is an effective treat
ment for this disease.
1Ol Tonic not only treats the dis.
ease, but acts as general tonic.
Get lGl Tonic at your drug store.
25c and SOC bottles Accept no substi-
tute for there is no medical prepa-
ration sold which is like DR.. Williams

Leaving the aerodrome at Pulham last

.SHANTUNG BLAME
LAID UPON HOUSE
Paris Says Texas Amateur Is
Responsible for Treaty
Defects.

oopwioht. lsls. an riaAts reserved.


PARIS. Sept. 11.-Col e. NJ House
arrived in Paris to-day, from England
to resume his place on the American
peace mission. Diplomats here still are
greatly interested in the results upon
the personnel OF the mission which are
likely to follow his return. Whether
that return was made for appearance
sake only or for other purposes it GER
tainly has not produced an altogether
pleasant situation.
It Is no secret that the conduct of
affairs by Col. House last spring and
until President Wilson broke with him
as his diplomatic adviser and took up
Secretary Lansing was an affront to his
colleagues and led to a situation in
which the President was forced TO in
terfere. With the Coloners virtual dis
appearance that was all remedied, but
those who know all that went on here
insist that the Colonel as a diplomat
was not success.
for adjusting delicate situations the
facts show that the adjustments were
made because Col. House made material
concessions That. according to some of
the best diplomats here. is the reason
why the treaty is what It is. In the end
President Wilson saw his mistake Had
the Shantung problem been left to Sec
rotary Lansing instead of to Col. House
a different result might have been OBJ
tanned.
The announcement made here that
Under Secretary Polk would continue in
charge OF American affairs indicates
that he has an understanding with
President Wilson that Col. House will
not assume the functions Of the PreSi-
dents chief plenipotentiary. Any at
tempt OF that kind probably would lead
to some sudden designations.
In view OF the fact that nothing new
has come up recently and that only a
few minor treaties remain to be COM
pleted, the cancellation of his passage
by Col. House and his return to Paris
naturally has aroused great interest as
to just what part il any the President
has had in 1t. The Official statement that
Col, House always meant TO return is
,ridiculed here

As / think upon them there Is a
picture very distinctly in my mind.
On last Memorial Day I stood In an
American cemetery In France, Just

they had lost their sons and because

Senator Pittman. a spokesman for the

list OF needed guarantees to preserve the
independence of the United States against
the League of Nations and introduced it
as resolution in the Senate, and yet,
Notwithstanding this formal recognition
OF the menace OF the league, he, and
likewise Senator Hitchcock, advise us
and urge us to sign the instrument with
out change and depend upon the league
or the Providence Of God to take care Of

At ANY event. Senator Poindexter said,
the league should not be accepted with
out being first submitted to a vote OF
the people in political campaign. He
outlined his views on this point as fol-
lows: Before action is taken upon this
revolutionary measure 1t should be dis
cussed before the people In a political
campaign, made an issue In platforms
and by candidates, and subjected to the
test OF popular approval
If. after having an opportunity to so
register their will, the people have to
transfer the control of war and peace
of foreign trade. OF the size of their army
and navy and Of every vital dispute
which they may have with a foreign
nation to the government OF body OF
delegates sitting In Geneva. In which
our one. and In which the nations Of
out OF the way places in the world can
overwhelmingly outvote the United
States Of America. our people would per-
haps have no Just cause to complain
OF the inevitable misery which this folly
would bring upon them.
But II It is established by force OF
arms and by unconstitutional transfer
of sovereign powers. without going
through even the usual process OF the
consideration OF governmental policies, it
would be the most cruel political crime
ever perpetrated upon a people"
