Article XIX

To those colonies and territories which
as a consequence of the late war have
ceased to be under the sovereignty of the
states which formerly governed them and
which are inhabited by peoples not yet
able to stand by themselves under the
strenuous conditions of the modern world,
there should be applied the principle that
the wellbeng and development of such
peoples form a sacred trust of civilization
and that securities for the performance
of this trust should be embodied in the
constitution of the league.
The best method of giving practical eff
feet to this principle is that the tutelage
of such peoples should be entrusted to
advanced nations who by reason of their
resources, their experience or their
geographical position, can best undertake
this responsibility, and that this tItelage
should be exercised Sy item as manda-
tory on behalf of the league
Certain comm auities formerly belonging
TO the Turkish empire have reached a
stage of development which their exist
ence as Independent nations can be pro-
visionally recognized subject to the rem
dering of administrative advice and as
sistance by mandatory power until such
time as they are able to stand alone. The
wishes of these communities must be
principal consideration in the selection of
the mandatory power.
There are territories, such as southwest
Africa and certain of the south Pacific
isles. which, owing to the sparseness of
their population, Or their small size, or
their remoteness from the centers of
civilization. or their geographical continu-
ity to the mandatory state, and other cir
cumstances, can be best administered I'M
der the laws of the mandatory state as
integral portions thereof, subject to the
safeguards above mentioned. in the inter-
ests of the indigenous population.

II You Need a Modicina
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited. to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments: corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes Rheumatism.

He received grant of Sulgrave
manor from Henry VIII, and on a pic

MARK OF TRUE GREATNESS
First Presidents Noble Humility One
of the Finest Attributes of
Els Character.

Great as Washington was, yet in
his breast brightly burned the light Of
humility. One of the favorite pas
sages of Washington's farewell rles-
sage reads as follows:
Though in reviewing the incidents
of my administration, l am uncon-
scious of intentional error, l am, new
ertheless, too sensible of my defects,
not to think it probable that | may
have committed many errors. What
ever they may be, fervently beseech
the Almighty to avert or mitigate the
evil tU which they may tend l shall
also carry with me the hope that my
country will never cease to view them
with indulgence and that after 45
years of my life dedicated to its serv-
ice with an upright zeal, the faults of
incompetent abilities will be consigned
TO oblivion, as myself soon must be TO
the mansions of rest"

The signet ring of George Washing

the Father of His Country wore all
his life, is in the possession of Wash

The ring bears the crest of the FAM
lily of General Washington's grand
mother, that of the Montivuto, which
was converted colloqually into Mon

band, Capt. Joseph Ball. she had a

FAMOUS AS SWIFT RUNNER
Few Men, When Washington Was In
His Prime, Could Successfully
Compete With Him.

"As to running" said Parson Weems
in his book on George Washington,

nobody hereabouts who could come

tight young fellow and q mighty swift

match for George. Langy, indeed, did
not like to give up, and would brag
that sometimes he had brought George

Mount Vernon stands today exactly
as it was when General Washington
was living; the trees a little larger
grown, but the garden and the lawns,
the houses and barns and stables and
great vistas precisely as he would

imagined that his spirit broods over
these scenes of his earthly happiness
