FAKE IRON CROSSES
 MADE BY THOUSANDS
Factory Near Karlsruhe Works Night and Day Making Them to Sell
 to Americans
By Associated Press

Coblenz, February 2.-A factory at Pforzheim, near Karsruhe. has been working day and night recently turn ing out iron crosses to be sold to Amer ican soldiers and other troops eager for souvenirs of the war, according to trav- elers from Germany, who arrived in Colblenz late in January. While the BerIip authorities have discouraged the idea of the Germans selling iron crosses and other war decorations to soldiers of the allies. quite a business has been built up in this line in the zones occu- pied by the British, French and Amer jeans. In Colbenz and other cities the burgomasters have appealed to the self. respect of the trades people in en- deavors to stamp out the business or selling the various German medals and officers insignia
 But the souvenir business thrves. nevertheless, the merchants in the neu- tral areas reporting that they can pur- chase all the iron crosses and other dec Crations in any quantity desired Ihese are all brought from unoccupied Ger, mauy the supply in the occupied part o' the Rhineland having been exhausted soon after the allies took up their posi- tions at three bridgeheads.
  will not issue permits for the shipment of honor medals into the occupied zones. travellers say that iron crosses by the hundred and other relics of the war are being smuggled across the border m great numbers.
 In Coblenz during the latter part of January iron crosses sold in the stores for from 9 to l2 marks each. When the Americans first came to Coblenz the crosses were valued at from to marks During the war, around the prisoner stockades,, iron crosses were sold to the Americans at prices rang ing from 50 francs to 200 francs.
 The factory at Pforzhein, which has been manufacturing the crosses for the souvenir hunters, is the same one which had a contract from the German gov ernment for years for the making Of the iron crosses given to the German soldiers for acts of bravery on the bat tlefield.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
 KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a glass of Salts if your Back hurts or Bladder
 troubles you

~ No man or woman who eats meat reg ularly can make mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a we'll known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys. they become oyerworked from the strain, get slug eish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick Nearly all rheuma atism. headaches liver trouble, nervousness dizziness sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel dull ache In the kidneys or your, back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi- ment irregular of passage or attended bv a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be- fore breakfast and in few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid or grapes and lemon juice combined with lithia and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation. thus ending bladder weakness.E
 lad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effer- yescent lithia- water drink which every one should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney mplications.-Adv.

Special to The Aas- Herald

Paris. February 22.-( ecial)-Amer- ican hustle and American efficiency are setting the pace at the peace conference in more senses than one. The President is hustling the old world delegates in a way that they never have been hustled before, and the extra efficient office anu reporting staff from Washington is show ing the French and British foreign of fices some lew tricks that are making them sit up and take notice
 The whole matter of staffing in connec- tion with the peace conference is one O. the jokes of Paris. The French are not overstaffed. No French office ever is overstaffed, and French office men ana women are accustomed to working number of hours every day that would make an TEngIishman or American think life was not worth living. The French, too, are a leisurely people. No one ever knew French office employe to hurry, and government employees are no excep- tion to this rule. Anyhow, they thin.- there is plenty of time to make peace, and a few hours more or less spent in pre- pairing reports and getting documents ready for delegates makes no real differ ence.
 At the other end of the scale is the British organization. There must be thousands of British foreign office em- ployes in Paris. They fill two great hotels and overflow into all the flats and boarding houses in the neighborhood. And it seems to the casual observer tha. 90 per cent of them are young women Tn that stage of development described in England as "flappers" "-meaning some- where between a schoolgirl and grown woman. They are having the time or their lives in Paris, for, as there are so many of them and there is plenty or time to make peace, there is no need TOY very strenuous work, and then beneVo- lent government gave each of them sl2o to be spent on clothes for Paris, ana, or course, these clothes have to be displayed The result is that the lounge in the biS Majestic hotel on the Avenue Kleber, which is British headquarters, is resu- lar beauty show at all hours of the day and early evening, and it is hard to ge- any sort of quick action about anythlnS
 Quite different is the scene at the Hotel CriIlon, where the American staff IS housed Here are no beauties in plnh shirt waists, but rough, weather beaten doughboys in uniform. Scattered thfoushe out the offices are few male civilians, and if there are any women except few telephone operators-speciaily nm ported--in the building they are kept care fully concealed. The doughboys are clerks and stenographers and typists or the most efficient kind and they nave simply flabber-g -gasted the older. couh- tries with the way they do things

PARIS FASHIONS
 STRIKINGLY NEW

Paris, February 1S.-Paris fashions this year will be "strikingly new ard |handsomeI regardless of the high cost of living, and in the way of gowns the feminine world expects to see a reaci tion from the war time simplicity. says the Excelsior.
 "A victory style in women's gowns is expected to be much in vogue this spring and summer, the paper adds. and evening gowns will be more eiab- crate than they have been since the war.
 Gowns will be longer and more or nate, it is reported, and brilliant coil ors. profusion of flowers, plenty of ribbons. frills and furbelows will be the rage. There will be no pronounced military style. The year 1919, it is said. will not see the birth of any dis tinctly new fashion as it is only q transition period

new HOSPITAL
STRENUOUS EFFORT WILL BE
MADE TO RAISE BALANCE
OF FUNDS NEEDED.

At the meeting which was held in
the Merchants association rooms on
Tuesday evening steps were taken to
conduct an active campaign to secure
the remaining amount of funds
which are necessary for bringing up
the Mount now in sight to 1000
the estimated cost of erecting a
modern hospital and fully equipping
ii.
Interest in the project was not
lacking even from the start of the
hospital building enterprise, and at
Tuesdays session it still prevailed.
An active general campaign commit
tee, consisting of John w. Walden,
who is the chairman, A. G.. Schmidt
and j.. A. Johnson was appointed to
carry forward a drive which seeks to
raise the remaining $4,000 neces-
sary to complete building operations
and leave the institution free from
indebtedness.
In connection with the proposed
drive some extensive advertising will
be done which will educate our peo-
pie concerning the need of a modern
hospital in our city Cuts of the
proposed new structure will be used
to advantage. They will set forth
the appearance and interior arrange

on Egan avenue N.
Architects are now busily engaged
on the plans and specifications and
matters pertaining to the enterprise
are rapidly taking shape looking TO.
wards actual erection early in the
spring. A special hospital architect
has been engaged and his ideas OF
modern hospital arrangements will
be incorporated in the plans.
A new hospital for Madison is now
an assured fact. The recent epidemic
points unerringly to the need of such
an institution. All the facilities fol
operations and proper ARE and treat

attention by those who are planning
to place in our city a building tina

ROGNESS BROTHERS
THEY RESUME PROPRIETORSHIP
OF THE MADISON
CREAMERY.

On the first of January a change
of proprietorship occurred in the
Madison creamery I. j. Bibby retiring
from the business in favor of the for
mer owners, Messrs. Chris and Gill
bert Rogness. Mr.. Bibby, the retir-
ing owner and manager, will again
assume his former position as county
agent, which he surrendered last Oc-
tober to take over the creamery.
The changes caused by the armi-
stice and the return of the nation to
a peace basis has operated to cause
the change at the creamery mention
ed above. Chris Rogness enlisted
from Madison on November 1 with
the hope of service at the officers
training school at Camp Fremont,
CAL, on December 1. On November
IL the armistice was signed and Mr..
Rogness found that his services were
not needed, therefore, he cas- about
to find a way to take up his time use
fully, having been honorably dis
charged because of the suspension of
Eostilities. He and his brother con-
ferred with Mr.. Bibby about buying
back their former interests in the
creamery. Mr.. Bibby, understanding
the situation Chris Rogness was in,
accepted from the latter a nice bonus
and agreed to relinquish his owner
snip and management in favor of the
Rogness brothers.
The creamery was established
many years ago in the southeast part
of the city. The Rogness brothers
came into possession in the springs
of 1911. The old quarters were of
wood and the site undesirable as con-
sidered by the present proprietors,
hence, the present new site was Sc
lected and upon it has been placed a
convenient and modern structure con-
tanning all the equipment for an up
to-date creamery.
Besides the regular business of
making butter the Madison creamery
turns out large quantities of ice
ttCdlh anu dloO hldhdiuSlulVS pup
the sale of which is rapidly i~ncreas-
ing annually.
The Madison creamery has been
well managed and its presence here
means much to the adjacent terri
tory. 1t does a great bulk of butter
business every year. Last summer
saw a very heavy business. In one
month this creamery churned nearly
10000 pounds of %butterfat, the gen.
eral average for the IL months past
approximating 100000 pounds.
The Madison creamery is here to
stay, and we feel certain that it's
present managers are quite content
to continue a business that, with
them, has been a success from the
start.
