WILSON WILLDO
NOTHING TO PUT
LEAGUE IN PERIL
Washington Receives Assur-
ancc From the President at
Peace Board at Paris

Washington, April 22-Administra-
tton officials were advised in a con-
fdential cablegram from Paris to-day
that in the consideration of problems
confronting the Peace Conference.
such as Italy's Adriatic claims and
the question of an alliance to pro-
tcct France from future aggression,
President Wilson would take no ac-
ton which might in the slightest de-
gree jeopardize the League of Ma
tions or conflict with its fundamental
principles.
Message Comes in Reply
The message was a reply to a ca
blegram of inquiry regarding the
Presidents attitude toward a secret
alliance which, according to certain
Paris newspapers, contemplated a
special defensive pact to be entered
into by France. Great Britain and
the United States.
The outcome of the apparent dead
lock over Italy's Adriatic claims is
awaited in official quarters here with
evident anxiety. The situation as
pictured in press dispatches is re-
garded as serious and there was not
a message from Paris yesterday or
to-day similar to those of last week
reporting gratifying progress at the
Peace Conference,

Churches Swell Fund
For Starving Armenians

Reports of subscriptions to the Ar
menian and Syrian Relief Fund,
show gratifying response, John
Heathcote, chairman of the commit
tee in charge of the drive here, says.
Many churches are making generous
subscription to the fund, he says.
The Pine Street Presbyterian
Church expects to raise $4,000 at the
very least. on Easter Sunday this
church raised more than 50, 500 for the
:und. \ similar response from all
of the churches would put the county
far over its quota of s3s. 900. Some
churches have thus far failed to
make any report of their progress.
I'VE exepect to publish list of
the churches and Fraternal orders,
just as rapidly as they give us

says. "Those churches who have al
ready made a partial report are:

The MAKING or
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual locker on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season Of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil aud tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles
1t is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fchinp attest to it's virtue.
