Prevention Is Better Than Cure

T ONG before the heart breaks down,
H. or the kidneys refuse to function,
or the arteries become affected, there is a
period of slow change that reduces your
efficiency and your resistance to disease.
Those early signs Of trouble, which may
mean nothing to you, are readily observed
and charted by the expert medical ex-
aminers of the Life Extension Institute.
People are beginning to realize this.
Scores of men and women come to us
every day and the request is worded al
most the same in every case:
II feel we'll enough, but I'm not sure.

and tell me exactly where | stand in regard
to sickness and health.
That is the sensible way to do it, 1t
is the only way. If there is ANYTHING
wrong that you do not suspect periodic
health examination will reveal the danger
before it is too late. And if everything
is all right-6ne and dandy! You will

''Stand Together Says
Ebert's Proclamation
SSkno,c Parties and Trust in
Mutual Right" He Pleads;
Terms Disregard of Pledges

BERLIN. May 10 (By The Associated
Press 1.-The German Cabinet last night
sent instructions to the peace delega-
tons at Versailles. The details of the
communication are not known.
Germanys reply to the terms of
peace presented at Versailles on
Wednesday will be proposal "for a
peace of right on the basis of lasting
peace of the nations" according to a
proclamation to the German people
issued here to-day by President Ebert.
Urges Stand by People
The proclamation says the treaty.
would deliver German labor to for
eign capitalism for the indignity of
wage slavery and permanently fetter
the young German republic" 1t closes
with an appeal to the German people
to stand together, knowing no par
ties" and to preserve with the gov
eminent mutual trust in the path of
duty, in the belief of the triumph of
reason and right" The text of the
proclamation follows:
"The first reply Of the Allies to the
sincere desire for peace on the part
of our starving people was the lay
ing down of the uncommonly hard
armistice conditions. The German
people, having laid down their arms,
honestly observed all the obligations
OF the armistice, hard as they we're.
Notwiths landing this, our opponents
for six months have continued the
war by maintaining the blockade. The
German people bore all these bur-
dens, trusting in the promise given
by the Allies in their note of Novem-
Der that the peace would be a peace
of right on the basis of President
Wilson's fourteen points,
Calls Promises Broken
"1nstead of that, the Allies have
now given us peace terms which are
in contradiction to the promise given.
1t is unbearable for the German peo-
pie and is impracticable, even if we
put forth all our powers. Violence
without measure would be done to
the German people. From such an
imposed peace fresh hatred would be
bound to arise between the nations,
and in the course of history there
would be new wars. The world would
be obliged to bury every hope of
league of nations liberating and heal
ing the nations and insuring peace.
THE acknowledgements and mangling
of the German people, the delivering
of German labor to foreign capital
ism for the indignity of wage slavery
and the permanent lettering of the
young German republic by the
Entente's imperialism is the aim of
this peace of violence. The German
peoples government will answer the
peace proposal of violence with q
proposal of a peace of right on the
basis OF lasting peace of the ma
tons.

Too Little Attention. Paid tn Ho.1.r

TT IS not wise to worry unnecessarily
r. about health. You know that many
people think themselves sick who are really
not sick at all.
On the other hand, there are thousands
upon thousands of people in New York
today who need medical attention-but
who do not have the least idea that there
is anything the matter with them.
Ignorance in regard to health, when
knowledge is so easily obtainable, is the
surest way to invite i'll health and suffer-
ing. Even an automobile engine will not
run satisfactorily without periodic over
hauling. Four out of every ten deaths in
the United States could be postponed for
years with proper care.
The terrible thing about disease is the
insidiousness of it. 1t does not develop
over night. Like everything else, it has
its beglnnings-little signs that you hardly
notice at the tme-a headache-a mo-
mentary. pain about the heart-a certain
inde6nable soreness in the abdomen
loss of weight, appetite and sleep-'ln-
natural nervousness, lassitude, irritability.
etc. When the pain does come it is all
too frequently a sign that irreparable
damage has already been DONE .
You may be suddenly taken sick"
tomorrow, as the saying goes, but in
reality it is not sudden at ALL For days
and weeks, or months perhaps, some
vital organ has been giving way and fin,
ally it can stand the strain no longer
Prompt attention might have avoided the
trouble.

What is said of gold gliding applies
also to leaf silvering. except that the
solution for bright silver gliding must
contain rather more isinglass, as the
silver leaf is harder than gold.
This vocation is one that does not
seem to be overcrowded. There is

leaves of gold against the protective

one of these leaves and spreads It

knife it is then divided into strips of
the requisite length and breadth. which
are laid on the surface to be gilded

TWO days dragged on this way and
l. Alice did not make her appearance.
Ruth felt angry and sore that Scott
made no effort to ConCiliate her. and
when she spoke to him at all her voice
had an edge to it that did not invite
tenderness on his part. Saturday came,
and Scott, true to his promise, came
home early and they went apartment
hunting. Ruth took no interest in any
thing. She made no complaint, simply
followed Scott in silence up and down
stairs and into different houses, wait
ing while he interviewed janitors. When
he asked her for an opinion she said
what she thought, but in manner that
plainly said, NO matter what we see
it will not call forth praise from me,

they had walked down four flights OF
! stairs from a stuffy dark little fiat, and
Ruth turned to Scott suddenly.
"You see that I wasn't exaggerating
any. don't you?" she flung out.
He nodded, but did not speak.

these. there isn't much CHOICE

Courteously.

haven't decided that as yet:' She stole

would not give in.

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
A Ill of the younger set have plunged
themselves into dancing this sum
mer, just as though it was something
entirely new and about which they had
never before heard For those who are
fond of dancing the omission of parties
during the war was a hardship, but
it is all forgotten now in the joy of
the dance and added pleasure of having
the boys back from the other side with
whom to dance.
Not only is it necessary to have
number of dancing frocks for the sum-
mer, because there are many parties
and one does not wish to be seen con-
tinually in the same dress. but dane
ing in the summer is extremely hard on
the frock. The dresses rumple more
easily in the warm weather and the
heat of the body wears the material
very quickly. 1t is all very well,
dancing in sweaters, in afternoon
clothes or sport garments, but those
who have tried it have found that the
garments were ruined for the occasions
for which they We're originally intended.
The cooler one dresses for dancing
tho more attractive and comfortable.
Tho artist has designed a dancing
frock for today, one which should be
interesting to the young women. The
material used for this dress is dotted

The skirt is straight and made like a

Of white net, finished at the lower
edges with two ruffiPs. Ribbon is used
