NO OFFICIAL REQUEST
Rv Assnnistea Press

Paris, April 16-The Belgian dele- gation to the peace conference today informed the correspondent that Bel gium had not been officially requested by the council of four to bring the former German Emperor to trial, and that the Belgian government would feel obliged to decline to take the step even if there were any request for such action.
 Tn Belgian delegates hold that any action should be taken by a commis sion representing all the associated powers.~~The official Belgian view, it was said is that the former Emperor cannot be arraigned for declaring war or violating the neutrality of Belgium, or for any act preceding or coincident with the declaration of war.
 After pointing out that there is no tribunal competent to hear sncl charges against the former Emperor, and no provision of interna tional law covering such cases, the delegates said that Belgium expects that persons guilty of acts punisha be under the criminal codes of any of the belliger- ent powers should be placed on trial. IS the fact that theft. murder and other crimes were committed during war does not relieve the criminals of resnonSihilitN.

The System Needs Help in

Often the appetite is badly impaired, the stomach upset and a run down, good for nothing feeling seems to have possession of the entire body.
 You must realize that you are not entirely out of danger until your full strength and vi tality is renewed and the sys- tenn restored to such perfect condition that it will have its former ability to throw off dis ease germs that are always present.
 But you cannot hope to re- gain your old-time vigor and strength unless you give nature assistance in repairing the dam age that has been done to your system by this severe disease Then, too, you want to avoid another attack of the flu, which is another important reason why you should do everything to put the body in such robust and perfect condition that you will not fall a victim to the epi. demic which medical authori ties predict will return next winter, with renewed severity

STRIKE CONTINUES DESPITE ORDER OF
 FUEL ADMINISTRATORS
By Associated Press

Kansas City, April 16.-Despite an order today by pr. H. A. Garfield, federal fue- administrator, that the strike of miners of the Central Coal and Coke company Tn Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma be stopped and difficulties submitted to the administration labor division under the agreement of July 23 1918, the union cal; which resulted this morning in the walk out of about 60O1 men had not been re- scinded tonight, according to reports reaching here.
 Harry N. Taylor. vice president of the company, declared tonight the strike was an attempt on the part of employees to decide question the company had al ready decided.
 '"The matter is simply whether the ma chine crews shall go to work at l:5o O clock instead of 9:30,' he said. There is no question of number of working hours or pay involved. The time had been fixed at 9:9o by the company because It had been found to be the most practical, and the attempt of the United Ml19 Workers of districts 21 and IA to estdp- fish another hour is an unwarranted as sumption of authority

WANTS DOLLY TO
 SEE MYSTIC AGAIN

To the Editor of The Age-Hera1d
 For the benefit of Dolly Dalrymplc I am suggesting that another hour Wf n- terview be spent with the Mystic Clay ton. However, the second visit should pay particular attention to the re- moval of this mystcs turban. I am almost certain that one or two tele- cealed so that they would fit upon his ears. His shoes might also be ex- amined. which might also prove to have electrical connections to match a like connection on the stage floor, thus forming a complete electrical tel ephone circuit from behind the stage via the stage floor, Clayton's shoes to the receivers on his ears. When Clay ton performed it looked to me like it was necessary for him to stand in the same spot.
 Dclly did not ask Clayton why his two assistants leave the theatre audi torium at the same time and return al once with little different looking bundle of cards than each held before leavinfr Does it no. seem the most plausible thing for a fourth assistant to get hold of the bona-fide questions and telephone the names and questions through the telephone circuit, as ex- pla!ned, to the Mystic" Clayton on the stage before the audience.
 Folks love to be entertained and fooled, however, it does not seem to be fair to advise an audience to make certain o"ertures, investments. etc, for the benefit of entertainment.
 l am but from the country" out am sure that this game is being play as above mentioned. I hope Miss Dolly will make another trip to the Mystic and write me her verdict for no other reason than to satisfy my curiosity. w. T. KROWARZ.

THE STONES
 CAKE PRINCESS
Immense Interest Taken in Unique Adver- Using Campaign of the Stones
 Cake Princess

To the housewives who Hake their own cake. let us just say this; Don't let prejudice against bakers cake keep you from buying Stones Butter-made Cake, madame. You owe it to yourself to at least buy one of the six varieties of Stones fine butter-made cake, and compare it with your own haking re- suit Very few women bake because they like fl. On the contrary, the cer- tainty of their hot, disagreeable task and the uncertainty of success makes most home baking a dreaded task Stones Butter-made Cake makes home baking a useless waste of time and en- ergy. There is nothing in home made cake that you do not get in stones Cake. On the other hand, there is a great deal in Stones Cake that you do not get in the average hame-m made cake Let us sight for an instance: Ii you use the same quality of fine but ter, eggs, best of milk and sugar, your cake per pound would cost you nearly twice as much as you can buy Stones Cake for stones Cake you can buy at all grocers for 13 cents a package or two for 25 cents. You could not buy the bare ingredients for that money, then plus your labor, fuel and every other thing that goes to bake. And the uncertainty of good results. Wouldn't it be so much nicer when you know that you could call your grocer and have him deliver any flavor that you may choose for the family? Try it.
