TO AILING WOMEN
A Little Sound Advice Will Help
Many a Sufferer in Middlebury


No woman should consider herself
healthy and well if the kidneys are
weak Poisons that pass of in the Sc
cretions when the kidneys are well are
retained in the body when the kidneys
are disordered. If the kidneys and blad-
der become inflamed and swollen worse
troubles may quickly follow. This is
often the cause of bearing down pains,
lameness, backache, etc. Uric poisoning
is also frequent cause Of headaches,
dizzy spells, languor, nervousness and
rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kidney
Pills, remedy that has proven effec-
tive in thousands of such cases. Let a
Middlebury woman tell Of her expert
ence.
Mrs. Frank Highter, As Seymour St,
says: when bent over sharp twinges
shot through the small of my back.
My kidneys annoyed me by acting If
regularly Mornings, 1 got up feeling
all tired and worn out. Sometimes my
sight bothered me because Of the black
spots that appeared before my eyes. l
was miserable in general. Doan's Kid
ney Pills, procured at Frost's Pharm-
acy, cured me and no symptoms OF the
trouble have returned"
Price Coo, at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. High

International Mems
Epents Summarized,
(By the Associated Press.)

The peace conference leaders have
renewed their effort to Seach an un-
derstanding on the Italian question. in
view of the imminence of the arrival
Of the Austrian delegates. Consulta-
tions were begun today between For
e!gn Minister Sonnino of Italy and
Colonel House.
Meanwhile attempts are being made
by the German delegation at Versailles
to draw the representatives of the AL
lied and associated governments into
oral discussions of phases of the peace
treaty.
French opinion as reflected in the
newspapers, regards one of the notes
sent to Premier Clemenceau as presi-
dent of the peace conference by Count
Won Brockdorff- -Rantzau. head of the
German mission, as distinctly Of a
propagandist order. This is the note
advancing a counter project as to in
ternational labor legislation. which
the French argue is intended to con-
vince the Socialists and the laboring
classes of the Allied countries in gen.
eral that the present German govern
ment is working in their favor.
The German cabinet council. under
the chairmanship Of President Ebert.
yesterday took up the question of
counter proposals to the peace terms
and committee from the German
national assem- Oily discussed the peace
terms. The national assembly will
meet in Berlin and it is expected that
Chancellor Scheidemann will give
some idea of the German reply to the
Allies.
The Austrian delegation is expected
to reach st. Germain-en-Laye We'd
nesday and workmen are preparing
the Palace of Francis l. for their oc-
cupancy. Reports from Paris indicate
the Hungarian mission also is expect
ed to arrive soon. 1t. too. will be
quartered at St. Germain-en-laye, but
will not be permitted to communicate
with the Austrians
Dispatches from Rome declare the
Italian people are discontented and ir-
ritated by the delay of the council of
four in reaching a decision on the
question of F'iume.
Allied forces are reported in a dis
patch originating at Helsingfors, to be
preparing for an attack on Petrograd.
It is said that $4,000 men will be en-
gagged in the operation and that
French cruisers are lying before Hell
singfors presumably ready to take
part in the attack.

AMOUNT
OF MEAT T0BE
SOLD BY U.S..
1oo,ooo,ooo Cans Beef and
100000 Pounds Bacon
To Be Disposed of.

Washington. May 12.-A method
of disposing of about 100,000.000 cans
Of beef and of more than 5O,000,0O0
pounds of bacon included in the sur
plus food stocks of the army, has
been argued upon between the War
Department and representatives of
the packing industry. The depart
ment announced today that it had
accepted the recommendation of the
packers that the goods be disposed of
for export to relieve the food situation
in Europe. but that should this be
impossible. the director of sales
would control the sale in this country,
fixing the prices and method of dis
tribution with the packing industry,
acting as an agent.
The surplus products to be disposed
of were said to represent the COM
bined output Of American packing
houses for five months during the war
when the plants were kept in opera :
ton continuously. and to equal a
normal production of over a period
of two years. To place this quantity
of packed meats on the market at
this time, the departments announce
ment said would seriously affect
prices on both canned and fresh
meats.
| The concerns represented at the
meeting were Wilson & Co.. Morris &:
Co., Armour & Co., the Cudahy Pack
ing Co., and Libby, Mcneil and
