TALKING ABOUT Il
SPlVEY SAYS WIFE DOES WORK
FIRST TINE IN TWELVE
YEARS-GAINS % POUNDS.

"You ought to hear the way our
neighbors are talking about Tanlac
since my wife's recovery" said W.
a. Spivey, motorman No. %, for
the Kansas City Metropolitan Street
Railway and valued employe Of the
company for twenty-three years. He
and his wife and interesting family
of children i've in their own home at
116 South Church street, Odatha,
Kan.
Mrs. Spivey has been in poor
health for fourteen years." he con-
tinued, land almost every month du-
ring that time she was under treat
ment of some sort, but she never got
any relief that we could notice. She
had 20 appetite and there were
mighty few things she could eat and
what little she did force down soured
On her stomach and gas would form
and make her 50 miserable that she
would have to lie down for awhile.
She almost always had an awful pain
in the small Of her back and she
suffered from binding headaches
and sometimes she would be so dizzy
she would have to put her hand on
something steady like the back of a
chair to keep her from falling. She
suffered from nervousness so that
some nights she could hardly sleep
at all and she never did know what it
vas to get good nights rest. She
kept growing weaker and weaker and
was so bad off that twice in the
past six years she was given up to
die. We thought we had tried every
thing to help her and didn't know
what else TO do when a lady friend
Of hers told about Tanlac. | bought
the tfst bottle about three months
ago and almost at once she began
to show her strength was coming
back, but the wonderful improvement
has been in the past two months.
she has good appetite now, and
can eat anything she wants like ap-
pies, cabbage, pies and meats Of any
kind. Any one Of these things, be
lore she began TO take Tanlac, were
just like poison to her. She doesn't
suffer a bit from sour stomach or
( gas and she gets so much good from
what she eats that she has gained %
pounds in the past two months. She
$ entirely rid of that pain in her
back and the headaches are gone,
toe. Nobody could tell that anything
had been the matter with her nerves,
they are 50 quiet now, and she sleeps
about nine hours every night She
/ has gotten so strong that she is do
. ing all the homework for our fam
lily Of six and doesn't mind it bit,
and it is the first time IN twelve
years that she has been able to do
any work at all She is more like
she used to be fifteen years ago than
ever hoped to see her, and | feel
just like everybody else that knows
Of her Improvement that Tanlac is
the best medicine ever made"

10 INTERNATIONAL ARMY.

Many people are disappointed in the fact
hat the League Of Nations constitution makes
no provision for an international army and ma
W to compel obedience to the mandates Of the
League Others rejoice in the absence of such
4 provision, because of the dangers that might
Turk in a military establishment above and be-
yOnd the control of individual nations
The average citizen will probably acquiesce
in the verdict Of the world, clearly indicated in
The vote taken on this point in the committee
that prepared Inc constitution. Of all the ma
tons represented, only France and Czecho-Slo-
Vakia voted for the international army
The big majority Of delegates are convinced
that the purposes for which such military
force would be intended can be attained Just as
effectively, and much more safely. by means Of
the device adopted-a universal blockade eco
nOmically, financially and socially, of any Of
Tending nation. This can unquestionably be
made q tremendous weapon, when welded by
nearly all the nations of the earth acting in
common and controlling the overwhelming ma
joritY Of the worlds material resources.
T-ere is provision for the use Of force too,
as last resort, if occasion ever demands it. The
various members Of the League will be asked by
the executive council to furnish ships and troops
ito punish the laW-breakng nation. They will
not be compelled to furnish them; but honor and
Iself-interest will no doubt persuade them Thus
1--WE should have another such group Of powers
Iallied for common military purpose as we have
mad IN the war against Germany but with this
Idlfference-they would be brought into the field
more readily and better prepared operating
IRON the first under system Of complete CO.
operation.
On the whole, this plan looks like an effec-
7 i've guarantee Of peace-Or at least, about as
IefIectlVe as guarantee as the world is yet ready
for.

MAYBE THE PEACE DELEGATES KNOW

One thing worth remembering in all this
peace conference business is, that possibly
quite possibly-the statesmen assembled at Paris
know what they are doing. They may even know
more about it than the United States Congress
or the Corners Peace Council gathered at the
general store, or the diplomats assembled in the
smoking room, or the oracles settling the fate
of empires over the penny ante game
The delegates at the conference are inrelli
gent men, with large experience in public af-
fairs. They represent the views Of their own
countriese, and they have the immense advan-
tage of interchanging views with the represen-
tatives of all the other countries. They are liy-
ing and working near the actual scene Of the
war and in the very center Of things. Every
delegation IS st,.companied by experts qualified
to advise it regarding any matter OF wal or eco
Monies or geography or history or anything
else connected with the peace discussion. Every
delegation has immediate access to exhaustive
information covering any point that may arise
1t must be disheartehing at time, to those
peace delegates, to read the airy, superficial
pronouncements delivered by statesmen back
home concerning big and complex matters on
which the delegates themselves hundred times
AS well informed are slow to pronounce jUdg-

b representatives from 40 counties, which
has been meeting in Washington since

ted to the various nations represented for
approval by their respective parlaments
| and lawmaking bodies
The principles agreed to i'll the various
committees and which will be submitted
to the conference during the week for ap-
/ proyal arc as follows:
{l) The adoption of the eight hour day
and 4S-hour week principle, with the ex-
ception that (a) where less than eight
hours are worked on some days of the
week the hours not worked may be reds
tribnted on other days, but with no day
to exceed nine hours, and (b) that in
continuous processes the limit shall not
be paid not less than time aud quarter.
The labor employed IN the devastated re-
gions of France and Belgium is to be con
sidered as employed under special eondi
tons. This agreement cannot, OF course,
lower any higher standards already es
tablshed BY law or by collective agree
ment. =
