Farmers Wife Was Unable to Get But Two Hours Sleep at Night and Be- came Weak, Pale, Con- stipated and Bilious
SLEEPS ALL NIGHT NOW
Nerves Are Steady, Stomach Based, Good Appetite, Pains in Back and Limbs Gone Since Taking Dreco, the New Medicine

''The condition of my wife's health is ing this new medicine" says MT. John Butler of Boaz. Ala, Route 6.
 Her health failed sometime ago, and she got so weak she couldn't do the or dinary household duties. Her stom- ach almost went back on her. and no matter how careful she was about her food, it always disagreed. She had a full feeling in her chest; a heavy, dull pain in her stomach, and was full of gas all the time. Her nerves got so bad that two hours was considered 6 good nights sleep for her. She was very bilious all the time, and had to be taking medicine continually. Sho was badly constipated and would go days without an action. Catarrh of the head caused much annoyance"
 But things are different now. I've never seen any medicine bring per- son out like Dreco has my wife. She feels good all the time, takes inter- est in everything, sleeps all night long stomach troubles are over with, and the constipation entirely relieved; also the catarrh. Just to show you how much Dreco has done for her, she now milks the cows every day, and is do- ing all her household duties

Changes in the South

Wonderful changes have taken place in the south during the past two or three years. I notice not only more good roads. but also more fences in the unsettled sec tions, more farmhouses and barns, neat ly painted, more banks, citrus groves, lumber mills, cultivated farms, new set dement's, fruit-packing houses, truck farms and more cattle and pigs. Signs of prosperity are seen on every hand. The railroads, good roads and the rush of business have broken down every thought of a sectional line At St. Augustine.

 Billy Burns turned toward his yellow racing car and clambered into the seat, swearing not in audibly, For the first time in his life he had been codly. indignantly refused even the op- portunity to apologize for that rudeness which his wealth and spendthrift habits had usually made so easily forgiveable Funny girl!' grunted Burns, as he sent the machine racing up toward Fifth ave- nue.

 He turned down a side street, and on the next block headed southward for the Bohemian Section of New York, in the vicinity of Washington square. He was turning over and over in his mind plans for humiliation of the young magazine writer who had so severely chastized him during Jane Browns first visit to the Purple Cat rancorous feeling to- ward the young woman also stirred him to bitter thoughts.

She may be sore at me now. but a little greenback to buy a new collar for her poodle dog, if she has one, will smooth her feelings, and she can put me wise to lot of things l want to know about that girl"
 When he reached Greenwich village he was disappointed in his search for Dick Holaday. That young man was not to be found in any of the accustomed haunts of connivial literary folk, and Burns gave up in despair satisfying himself with a lonely dinner.

 'It was signed on the same day with the treaty of peace, and is intended as temporary supplement to it. It is be- lieved that the treaty of peace with Germany in itself provides adequate pro- lection to France against aggression from her recent enemy on the east, but the years immediately ahead of us con- tain many incalculable possibilities. The covenant of the league of nations pro vdes for military action for the protec- tion of it's members only upon advice Of the council of the league, advice given It is to be presumed, only upon delioeration, and acted upon by each of the govern rnents of the member states only if It's own judgment justifies such action.

France by the United States in case of any unprovoked movement of aggression gainst her by Germany without waiting for the advice of the council of the league of nations that such action is to be taken. It is to be an arrangement, not independent of the league of nations, but under it. II is, therefore, expressly pro- vided that this treaty shall be made the subject of consideration at the same time the treaty of peace with Germany; that this special arrangement shall receive the approval of the council of the league, and that this special provision for the safety of France shall remain in force only until upon application of one of the I parties to it, the council of the league, acting if necessary by majority vote, shall agree that the provisions of the covenant of the league atford her suI- ficient protection.

We are bound to France by ties of friendship. which we have always regarded and shall always regard as peculiarly sacred. She assist ed up to win our freedom as nation. It is seriously to be doubted whether we
 could have won it without her gallant and
 timely aid. We have recently had the
 privilege of assisting in driving enemies
 who were also enemies of the world, from
 her soil; but that does not pay our debt
 to her. Nothing can pay such a debt,
 She now desires that we should promise
 to lend our great force to keep her safe

 reason to fear. Another great nation vol
 unteers the same promise. It is one or
 the fine reversals of history that that
 other nation should be the very powH
