Swiss Would Have Geneva as Seat
 of the League

Geneva, Dec, 8.-The Swiss government has not yet accepted the offer of the peace conference to make Geneva the seat of the league of nations. When the of- fer was made it was thought here that the Swiss would gladly ac cept it without barley.
 One reason why this has moi been done is that action upor Switzerland's adherence to the league has been so long delayed Another reason is the opposition to the location of the seat of ths league in Geneva on the part of Swiss Germanophile socialists and radicals who are strongly opposes to the league.
 Their principal argument is that, if Germany and Austria ar: excluded from the League, ever temporarily, it would be not g league of nations but league o] allies, "based on an imperfal. foundation and that to locate it ;, Geneva would be against Switzer, land's 'l4a interests , :,liss is,fs If the league is located here. it, members probably will find ths cost of living high but not so deal as in Paris. This is attributed i, part to a great influx of stranger, since the war.

DON'T BURN AND BLIS, TER YOUR SKIN WITH L|N|MENTS AND
 PLASTERS
Trying to Cure Your Rheumatic
 Aches and Pains.

Whenever you suffer from an attack of rheumatism, your mus cles and joints ache and hurt, it's but natural to try to stop the pain. Such relief, however, is only tenn porary and sooner or later the aches and agony return, even worse than before because the poisons are all the time accuma- lating in the blood.
 The necessary treatment is to remove the real cause of the aches and pains-cleanse the blood of those impurities which multiply unless the proper treatment is ap- piled.
 Do this before another attack, before your joints swell and you lost the use of the parts affected, Get yourself bottle of the we'll known Plough's Prescription C. 2223 and package of 2223 Liver Pills. Take one pill at bedtime; the following morning begin the Liquid Plough's Prescription C. 2223 treatment, taking teaspoon. IuI uOScS tlllec IlIIlcS q udy III Ildli glass of water. Wear suitable clothing, do not expose yourself in damp weather and abstain from the use of red meats and pastry.
 Many medical authorities agret that there are very few drugs which have any value in the treatment of Chronic Rheuma' tism, and those named are usec in the preparation of Plough's Prescription C-2223.
 The manufacturers have SC much faith in the merit o1 Plough's Prescription C-2223 that they will refund the price of two $1.50 bottles if you do not get the relief which you expected.
 Your nearest druggist can sup ply you with Plough's Prescrip tion C-2223 at $1.5O bottle, ol the C-2223 Laboratory, Memphis Tenn, vii lsend to you prepaid ol receipt of price. Clip and mail thi! l for sample of 2223 Liver Pills ane leaflet which tells you all abou this real rheumatic treatment.
