II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy il
recommended by those who have been
benefited. to those who are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says Take tor

and never hesitate to recommend, for in

suits. as many Of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large q

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DR..
Kilmers Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,

It was quiet and natural appearing

Miss Sally had gone to the station to
meet her hero and excepting for the

went to her room, whistling happily,
and changed her pretty tan silk gown

That Dreadful Man in Russia.

A Russian woman, who has spent
several years teaching and lecturing
in the schools and universities of our
country tells the following story in
r%emarking on how little some Ameri-
cans know concerning Russia and her
history:
II was in a large city of the South

in my honor and / was being received
by the society people Of the town.

They named him the Hoodlum when
he first anne to Blue Meadow farm,
a l~ong-legged, krock-kneed. wild-eyed
colt, with nothing but a pedigree to
make people admire him.
II can't take him over with me-"
Dacre wrote back, land he's all gold.
believe me, Aunt Sally. Just keep
him till I get back, and don't let any
body but me break him. 1t won't be
long"
That had been nearly a year ago.
and still the Hoodlum ranged freely
without a saddle on his back or a
BIT between his teeth. 1t seemed as
If he had become almost a symbol, to
Miss Sally. Of Dacre's safe return
home. Dacre had been her favorite
since his mother had died In his baby
hood, and had given him into her are
when she was only twenty. He had
grown up at the farm, and 1t had
brought all Of the horror of war close
to her heart when she had heard
that he had gone into the aero serv-
Ice.
But the Hoodlum took life easily.
He was a handsome colt, rich bay in
tone, with darker name and tail, and
white feet. He would come at Miss
Sally's call. clear from the river mead
ows where he loved to grace, to the
lane bars for some sugar or an apple
from her hand. And when she drove
along the road toward town, the colt
would race, with name flying, trying
, 1919-05-29

to catch her before the carriage turned
the bend In the road, to whinny anx-
iously after her departing figure.
Then Betty had come unexpectedly
and the HoOdlum took second place
In interest. Betty was seventeen and
adventurous.
81 only hope she won't prove a
thorn in your fiesh." Mrs. Sewall had
written. "She seems very cheerful
and willing, and 1 suppose you can
put her to some use. It's splendid of
you to keep her for me until VIII and
| get back, for we never could have
taken her clear to the islands with
u.s."
They were Miss Sally's second cous-
ins, and Betty's father had recently
been appointed on a commission to
the Philippines, which meant Betty's
being a guest at Blue Meadows, for
at least three months. She was slim
and big-eyed, with freckles and smooth
braids of brown hair wound trinity
about her head
"Just forget I'm here at all, Cousin
Sally, and Eli promisesn not to get into
one bit of mischief" she declared, the
first day of her arrival. Then, seeing
a photograph on the table in an oval,
fiat silver frame, she asked interest

isn't he? Aero7 He'll be home be-
fore long, then. won't he, almost any
day?"
I'VE hope so. 1 haven't heard In
months"
Betty took her cue from the note of
reserve in Miss Sally's tone and asked
no further questions, but learned all
she wished to know about Dacre, from
his babyhood up. from old Aunt
Selah, his nurse. Perhaps Hoodlum
told her something also.
At any rate. they became extremely
well acquainted after Jerry, the stable
boy, gave her Hoodlum's story. Every
day found her on her way down the
mulberry lane to the river meadows,
with plenty of "coaxers," as she called
them, to tempt the colt, and one day
she carried an old saddle of Dacre's
on her shoulder, and a Bride.
1t was early in the spring when
Dacre returned. He had been wound
ed and detained for months at a base
hospital. Miss Sally was in a perfect

BY EDWARD W. PIckARp.

Sailing and playing for time by
handing in many voluminous protests
and promising to produce many more,
the German delegates to the peace con-
ference succeeded last week in gaining
ar extension OF time to May 20 for
making their full reply to the treaty
terms. To expedite the work Brock.
dorff-Rantzau asked leave for a spe-
cial train to take printing presses and
printers to Versailles.
Among the notes, he said, that are
to be presented to the allies were
those dealing with Alsace-Lorraine,
with the occupied territories, with the
extent and discharge of the repara-
tons obligation undertaken by Ger
many, with labor laws, with German
private property in enemy countries,
and with territorial questions in the
east.

limit" However, the Germans choose
to remember rather his former stand,
and or that and the Fourteen Points,
they base most of their objections to
the treaty terms. Those points are
especially emphasized in the statement
Issued last week by the Scheidemann
cabinet which says Germany cannot
possibly accept the treaty as formu-
lated.
What the Germans really will do
about the treaty is still the subject of
much speculation. Opinion in Paris
that they ultimately will sign is un-
changed, and is supported by advices
from Berlin to the effect that a power
full party is growing there in favor of
submitting to the allies and gaining
peace that will permit the resumption
of business. In this the Independent
Socialists are Joined by bankers, mer-
chants and many others, who say that
anything would be preferable to boil
shevism. In Washington 1t is believed
that the Ebert government may retire
temporarily In order to let a dummy
government approve the treaty. The
dummies thereupon would be ousted by
public opinion and the Ebert crowd
could return, but the treaty would have
been signed.
, 1919-05-29

The answers Of the allies to the
notes already submitted by the Ger
mans could not have given the latter
much encouragement as to results.
When they complained Of the taking OF
mines and nitrate beds they were told
the treaty did not prevent their buying
minerals and nitrates from other ma
tons; when they objected to the loss
Of their mercantile shipping and the
consequent loss Of employment for
their sailors, they were reminded that
the allies were not thus nearly COM
pensated for their losses due to sub.
marine ravages; and when they said
Germany would be unable to feed her
population If deprived of agricultural
lands, they were told the reduction Of
population through the loss Of territory
left her fewer mouths to feed, and the
Germans could easily obtain agricul-
tural products from other countries.
The attitude Of the allied delegates
is that their countries have suffered
far too much already, and 1t is the
turn Of Germany, and they assert the
German people cannot shirk the re-
sponsibility for the war because of q
partial and perhaps nominal change In
their form of government and in Its
personalities. Such, indeed, was the
substance of the reply of the council
of four to the German note regarding
r%eparations. in which the Hun dele
gates declared Germany would not ad-
NIT responsibility. They were told II

1t may be that final ratification Of
the treaty will be delayed by the &C
ton of the United States senate, which
has begun debate on the league of
nations covenant. Some Republican
leaders wish to notify the peace con-
ference formally that the covenant
must be amended and should be sepa-
rated from the peace treaty of which
1t is now an integral part. 1t is certain,
too. that the peace terms will be scru-
tinized at length by the senate. Sen

An interesting fact concerning the
peace negotiations has Just developed.
A number Of the experts attached to
the American delegation have resigned,
declaring the treaty Is unacceptable to
them In many respects. They were
taken ove to gather historical. racial
and other data, and they assert that
the mass of information they handed
In has not been used or even read by
the delegates. They more than init
mate that the framing Of the peace
treaty de~generated quickly into q proc

was compelled to surrender his ideals,
