First Copy Of Peace Treaty
to be Pub
ished
Chicago Newspaper Man Brings
Original Copy Secured
While in Paris

When Mr.. Frazier Hunt, the war
correspondent of the Chicagn Trib-
une, arrived in New York last Friday
he brought with him a copy of the
complete text of the treaty of peace,
access to which has so far been de-
MED the United States Senate and the
people of the country. The copy, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hunt, was obtained in
Paris and, outside of the copy in the
possession of the State Department,
is one of the few original copies now
in the country. 1t is a book of 4l6
pages containing about 5000 words
and four large maps.
An examination of the full text of
the treaty reveals two important
places where the published summary
did not deal adequately with the
original text. One is in the cast of
the provisions made by the Allies
the Saare valley; the
other is in the section containing the
labor provisions. The Saare valley
provisions are much more severe in
their treatment of Germany than was

Governor Hobby Asks Baker
for Adequate Forces to
Defend Border Line

Governor Hobby of Texas has sent
the following telegram to Secretary
Baker at Washington:
"The Mexican situation appears to
be so critical that an emergency may
arise at the most unexpected momeIt
requiring larger force of troops on
the border to protect the lives and
property of citizens than are at pres
ent, available. appreciate that for
border duty cavalry is the most eff
fective arm of the service, and al
so appreciate that the Regular Army
is short of cavalry. Therefore l re-
spectfully urge and recommend that
the 1st and I'd Brigades of cavalry,
National Guard of Texas, be called
into the Federal Service. urge that
the call include brigade commanders
and brigade headquarters detach-
ments, SO that the cavalry organiza-
tion may go intact under command
of two brigade commanders"
The Governor also suggested that
mobilization be fixed for definite
date not less than twenty days from

A doomsday book Of q new sort has
been produced BY the alien property
custodian. It approximates 500 pages
and sets out the names of the enemy
concerns that have been found in the
United States. The custodian thinks
his efforts have been without real cost
to the country. since he brought to
light for the treasury to collect more
than $500, 900. In income taxes which
were being evaded. Besides the Gus
todian turned some Of the German con-
Germs to war work and had them pro-
duce $30. 200. 900 worth Of supplies.
The custodian's new book. says Ma
tion's Business, contains deal Of
comfort for Americans who have
claims against Germany and who have
been wondering II they will have to
wait for payment until Germany makes
up her mind about the variety Of gov
ernment she likes best. The state de-
partment has hinted that American
claimants may get immediate reim-
bursement from the funds the custo-
dian has collected.

The United Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners of Local No. 2O63,
have come to the front with a con-
tribution to the fund for the Fourth
of July Celebration of 500. Mr..
Henry Loeb, of the Henry Loeb
Company has subscribed $500, and
the First National Bank and the
Bank of Morgan City have given the
ball an additional impetus by sub

who served good time on the Fourth

Review. expects to add a number of
names to the list tomorrow, with
fancy figure as a total. Many citi-
zens have expressed themselves as
ready to throw in their bit to help
swell the fund. but some have not
decided to what extent they intend
to contribute. 1t is the hope of the
executive committee that all who
feel that they owe duty to the boys
will dig down and contribute. The
amount of the contribution will not
matter so long as it is done in the
proper spirit for the young fellows
who risked their all to defend Old
Glory.

out Of uniform than in It, 'R. G."
writes in the continental edition Of the
London Mail.
Two possible solutions Of this re-
markable attitude occur to me. The
first is that most officers appear to be
rather stern and stand-offish in uni
form. The other solution. and per-
haps an equally probable one, is that
the public is getting tired of seeing
so many officers going about aimlessly
with apparently nothing much to do
except to spend money and kill time.
Naturally. l suppose, when first
went out in "civvfes" I had the in
grained inclination to salute all su-
perior officers met and to prepare to
take salutes from the ranks. It took
me the best part Of day to overcome
this impulse.
The "sir" habit was very strong. too.
On my first morning as a civilian I
had to see a colonel at the war Office
on business-business in which our
standing was at least eQual-and /
Immediately ''sirred" him. of course.

Weekly Health Talks

By DOCTOR WATSON.


People are easily frightened when
they think something is the matter with
their lungs or heart, and we'll they
may be; but few people understand
the dangers Of diseased kidneys. These
organs have duty of vital importance
to perform, and if they are diseased,
there b no telling how or where the
symptoms may appear. The kidneys
are hlters, and when they are healthy
they remove the poisons from the blood
and purify 1t. When the kidneys are
diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one OF these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all
through the system and deposited in
various places, in the form of urate
Bslts in the feet, ankles, wrists and
back = often forming bags under the
eyes. Sometimes the resulting trouble
b called rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica
and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's
disease.
DR.. Pierce, OF Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that q certain COM
bination Of remedies would dissolve uric
acid (urate salts) in the system. He
found this combination TO be harmless,
20 that he made it up in tablets,
OF double strength, and called them
Anuric Tablets. They dissolve uric
acid in the human system as hot coffee
dissolves sugar. If you have uric acid
troubles, don't delay in taking Anuric
Tables, which can be secured in the
drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce,
too, and he will tell you what to eat
and how TO live 20 that more uric ACID
