Tentative Plans Discussed.

Two British plans OF this tentative
nature have been presented-one by
Lord Robert Cecil, the other by Lieut.
Gen. J. c. Smuts Of the War Cabinet.
The French plan as formulated by NJ.
Bourgeois has also been set forth And
these are being compared by the Ameri-
can specialists. who are preparing the
groundwork for President Wilson
Lord Robert Cecrs plan outlines
broad and comprehensive organization
OF the league Of Iatons. but thus far
II Is in general terms and has not yet
been reduced 20 definite terms of enact
ment as II would appear in treaty.
Gen. Smuts's plan is along similar
lines, but moro general. and is mainly a
thesis on the advantages OF such q
league Of nations. Gen. shnuts is tn"

alton. and will come here with the Brit

Both OF these plans are receiving care

NJ. BourgeoiS's plan, embodytng the
French poin; OF view. while general, also
embraces number Of specific details
including compulsory arbitration. re-
strict!on OF excessive armament, an In
ternational tribunal and a series of sane
tions or penalties for enforcing ohserr-
ance of the leagues decisions. These
sanctions include various diplomatic, ju-
dical and economic measures whereby
the united nations may enforce their de-
Crees
The American viewpoint as II Is now
being formulated Ivy the specialists as
the groundwork for the present seeks To
reach an accord on fundamentals on
which all agree and present them in
simple working form one of the chief
OF these fundamentals is the formation
OF a league which will embrace all the
nations Of the world, but not one which
will establish any balance of power
among the group Of nations.
Also care Is being taken that the in
fiuence of the various nations in the
league would I've in accordance with their

Powers and the small Powers would

Warning as to Our
Waning Vitality

(BY LEE HERBERT SMITH, M. d.
Every man should take stock of his
physical condition just as frequently as
he takes stock of his financial condition,
thereby learning his weak spots and TAX
ing measures to repair them before it is
too late.
In the winter or spring is the best
time to take stock of ones condition.
If the blood is thin and watery, face pale
or pimply, generally weak, tired and
~istless, one should take q tonic. One
that will do the spring "house-cleaning,"
an oid-fashioned herbal remedy that was
used by everybody nearly so years ago
is still safe and sane because it contains
no alcohol or narcotic, This blood tonic,
extracted from wild roots and barks,
was first put out by DR.. Pierce in ready
to-use form and since then has been
sold by the million bottles as DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It's always
efficacious in the winter or spring when
the blood is run down and you need a
wholesome tonic. This is natures tonic,
which restores the tone of the stomach,
activity Of the liver and steadiness TO the
nerves, strengthening the whole system.
Send 10c to DR.. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y, for trial package Of tablets.
Then to keep the liver and bowels
regular and to carry away the poisons
within, it is best to take castor oil or a
vegetable pill, made up of May-apple,
aloes, ialap, and sugar-coated, to be had
at most drug stores, known as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets.
