"T-A-U-P-E"
 SPELLS TAPE,
 OR IS IT 7OoP?
Sure, The "U" Is Silent Just Like the 70" In
 Cat Fish.

Just a little, simple word of five letters came near precipitating bat tie the other evening. It all happened in the composing room of the states fastest growing daily (use your own judgement) and started over at the proof table.
 The proof-reader was droning out the daily message of an lad" for let us call it Levi Cohn & CO.,, that IS a suggestive name for dry goods merchant-a local mercantile com- pany, in his monotonous sing-song way when he came across the word that invited battle. The copy-holder was holding the original lad" for er- TOTS.
 Hosiery that wears-silk hose solid colors colors-black, white, grey cordavan, field mouse, tape" he droned.
 "Hey" interrupted the copy holder. "What was that last you called?"
 "Tape," echoed the proof reader wearily, tape-t-a-p-e, tape"
 "Nix," said the c. H. "1ts t-a-u-p-e."
 Well, it's tape anyhow, affirmed the P. R., as he inserted the "u" in the copy:
 "Tape, nothing" exclaimed the c. H. glancing at the original, "its toop."
 The P. R. viewed him with sarcas- tic smile. "Your poor boob, t-a-u-p-e spells something but it is pronounced like Tape, tape" The c. H. turned on him with fire in his eyes. "Say," he sneered," if l was as wise as you, I'd apply for a job as city editor on some good, live sheet"
 "Taupe, spells, toop, and it's bel gian word meaning-why you don't even know what toop means" "Sure I do," interjected the P. R. "tape is-a kind of vest-like came sole."
 The c. H. threw back his head and laughed. "I thought so," he exclaim- ed. Troop is a new spring color, like, like cerise or-or crepe de chin," he asserted knowingly. "Well, LII be -" the P. R. rose from his chair shaking his head in despair, "You poor -."
 "Cheese that row." the voice of the foreman boomed from the rear of the shop. "How do you expect us to put out a paper without ads. Hurry up with that proof and quit the chatter" :" , Both the P. R. and the c. H. settled , themselves slowly and continued with their monotonous persual of copy in search of the wary typographical er- TOT. 4
 They had almost forgotten their lit tie tilt until about thirty minutes later when the galley boy approached them , breathless.
 Say, where is corrected proof on Cohn ad, he growled?" The P. R. spoke without lookking up. What ad you talking about ?"
 "Aw you know," the galley boy ex- claimed, "the one what's got them toopees in it."

FRANCE ABANDONS
 HOPE FOR AID

Paris, March 11.-(By Associated Press)-France has abandoned for the present at least any hope of having her great war debt shared by the al- lies. It is authoritatively asserted by one of the Americans attending the conference that what has been an embarrassing possibility has now been definitely eliminated from the deliberations.
 The British and American delega- tions have been quite frank in their disapproval and have openly said that the people of their countries would be slow to endorse such a plan.

TRY I'll SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not
salivate.

Every druggist in tcwn-your
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed great falling-off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re-
Suits" said prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is per-
sonally guaranteed by every drug
gist who sells it. A large bottle
costs but few cents, and if It fails to
give easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, YOU
have only to ask for your money
back. pc
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy.
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or consti-
pated bowels. 1t doesn't grippe or
cause inconvenience all the next
day like violent calomel.

place the kaiser back on the throne
All of these evil developments have
resulted from the hostile attitude OF
certain Senators in regard to the
league of nations. If there is no
league OF nations there will be Meth
ing to prevent the old bloody war
riors and savages of Germany and
Austria from plunging Europe into
war again, and finally drawing us
into it as they did before. Every
Senator who votes against the league
or who delays it by offering useless
amendments is working in the in
terest of future wars and further
slaughter of the human race. 1t is
said that every Senator is receiving
piles If letters from his constituents
urging prompt ratification of the
league which will not only prevent
future wars, but will speedily re-
store the country to normal and
peaceful conditions. Every citizen
who believes in ending wars for all
time should write to his Senator
urgiog him to vote for the ratifica-
ton of the treaty.

Senate Fiddling While Rome
Burns.

History says that Nero Fiddled
while Rome burned. The United
States Senate is indulging in a sim.
liar pastime.
Senator McCumber, of North Da-
kota, Republican, scored the For
eign Relations Committee OF the
Senate last week for playing poll
i tics with the treaty of peace and the
league otnations. Everyone knows
that the delay in ratifying the treaty
is causing unrest and disturbance
throughout the country and the
world. as well as keeping up the
high cost of living.
President Wilson has stated that
the league of nations is only bind.
ing on Us morally, and it in no way
limits or interferes with our sover.
eign power or any of our rights.
There are three great moral forces
embodied in the league of nations,
each of which alone will prevent
wars in the future.
The first is that the league binds
every nation to give three months
notice before starting a war. In
three months time the power OF
public opinion will be able TO pre-
vent the commencement of that
war. The second point is that no
nation will be allowed to buid up a
traffic in arms, such as the great
Krupp works OF Germany did, and
without which Germany would new
er have started the war. The third
point is that every nation signing
the league has agreed TO impose
commercial boycott on whichever
nation willfully attemp 8 to start
war;. 49, ~
These three great principles wi
be more, than ample to prevent al
other terrible war.

daIlying with the treaty and tall
