This Medicine Recommended by a Doctor

When doctor uses medicine him
self besides prescribing it to his patients,
he must know that it has merit.
This is what DR.. J., III. Wagner, prom
inent physician of Skate, Kentucky, has
to say about DR.. Hartman's well-known
remedy, PE-RU-NA: 81 have used Pc
RU-NA myself for catarrh and have
given it to others for catarrh, bloating
after eating and other ailments. 1t has
proved success in all cases with old
and young men and women. All speak
well Of PE-RU-NA. 1t is the best OF all
tonics."
DR.. Wagner, out of the fullncss of his
own personal experience, for the good OF
all sick and suffering, recommends a
medicine which he knows to be good.
You may be sure doctor would not en-
danger his professional reputation by
endorsing PE-RU-NA unless satisfied be-
You'd doubt of its value.
Whether your trouble be cough or a
cold, or more subtle catarrhal effaction
of the stomach. bowels or other organs,
give PE-RU-NA a trial. The immediate
Improvement which you will see will sat-
oE-RU-NA iswhat you need.

FOR
KIDNEY AILMENTS

Grafton I am sure there is no more
important topic which demands our
attention and better deserves our con-
sideration. l am convinced that those
who would shut off debate on school
matters are either woefully ignorant
of the deplorable conditions in the
school system or dread to shed the
light of truth upon them. The man
who attempts to Stifle orderly and
dispassionate discussion of these af-
fairs by impudent and impertinent re-
marks concerning his fellow delegates
is not worthy of a place in this
federation.
The member who has been quoted
in the press as saying that the mem

by selfish and sinister motives must
speak from an inner consciousness
of his own selfish motives, which he
ascribes to others. Your committee
considers it a duty both to you and
to the District at large to uncover the
conditions in the schools and to sug-

must resent the statements attributed
to fellow delegate that the fedora
tion is using underhand methods in

believed was decided upon because
of the suggestion of Premiers Lloyd

their suggestion is believed to have
been that they regarded 1t as likely

Paris or Versailles to prevent jour-
nalistic inroads upon the secrets of

HOW D. c. FOLKS WILL
FEEL At FIRST VOTE
George w. P. Gusts, Once in Same
Plight, Regained Privilege
of Suffrage,

Citizens of the District of Columbia,
who today are seeking the right to
elect representatives of the District
to the Senate and House and to vote
for President and Vice President, will
sympathize with the sentiments ex-
pressed in 184S by George Washing
ton Parke Custis. who cast his first
vote when the part of the original
federal district lying in Virginia was
ceded back to that state.
An article published in Niles Ma
tional Register, November IS, 1s4S. in
Philadelphia, tells of Mr. Custis' first
experience in voting. 1t says:
THE venerable George Washington
Parke Custis gave his maiden vote
for the presidency to Gen. Taylor on
the 7th inst. This circumstance is
handsomely alluded to in the fol-
lowing eloquent extract of speech
delivered by him at a barbecue held
recently at Bladensburg:
Strange as it may seem to you,
my fellow countrymen, you see before
you an old man with whitened locks
and bald head, in fact. a grand
father, who has never yet voted in his
life. Living. as I always have. within
the limits of the District of Column
bia, no vote was vouchSafed to me
until the recent act of retrocession
my residence is back to the state of
Virginia And now 1 am about to
give my maiden vote! In doing it, I
shall exercise a privilege enjoyed by
no other voter in the nation-the
privilege of casting the only vote
that can be cast hailing from the
sacred shades of Mount Vernon, and
representing the family OF the great
est and best of departed men, the
father of his country. and, oh, when
I appeal to his great spirit in heaven
to guide me, how 1 shall give my vote
in this interesting and important
election, methinks 1 hear him say, be-
stow your suffrage upon the most
worthy
The appearance of this old man

son, produced, says a Washington let
ter writer. AN electrical effect He was
greeted with vehement applause. His
appearance is decidedly striking
Scarcely of the middle stature, he is
erect, with a full made person and q
fine intellectual face. good head. very
considerably bald, a few light flowing
locks, a large Grecian nose, and two
bright gray eyes. His voice is full
toned and rich, and his manner decided
ly theatrical. His dress is neat and
highly appropriate for an old Virginia
gentleman"

popular music showed unusual versa
tility with difficult instrument

and the usual Yale Medley" ar
among the best numbers sung. "Bala-
klava," by Bruno Huhn, a difficult ar
rangement in minor KEY also was
well received.

TREATY PUBLICITY
STAND QUALIFIED
BY i. S. PRESIDENT
Andre Tardieu SO Charges in
Explaining Silence of
Peace Conference,
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. April Capt. Andre Tar
dieu. one of the French delegates to
the peace conference, in another of
his articles in ILLUSTRATION. dealing
with the peace treaty of Versailles.
dwells at length on what he terms the
question of silence" and gives some
interesting side lights on the peace
conference.
Capt Tardieu recalls how the press
placed great hope in the first of Pres-
dent Wilson's fourteen points. which
demanded that conventions be pre-
pared with the knowledge of the gem
eral public. But. he says, its hopes
were dashed when it became known
that President Wilson himself de-
clared this did not mean the making
public of negotiations. but referred
only to making public the debates on
engagements made before they be-
came definite.
Ciemencenu for Publicity.
Former Premier Clemenceau is de-
clared by NJ. Tardieu to have been the
greatest advocate of publicity, but
asserts NJ. Clemenceau' efforts in this
direction We're not seconded by the
allied governments, which are said to
nave refused even his proposal to
make public the terms of the treaty
Germans. They permitted only sum-
mary to be published before the
treaty was signed.
Capt. Tardieu declares that, to pre-
as having said: There is d general
expectation among the public, which
desires that all the subjects of our de-
liberationS be known. 1t is TO our
advantage to show it the results of
our work"
difficulties began at once which
continued to be multiplied for the
next six months" comments Capt.
Tardieu. IF the conference had not
been held in France the French gov
ernment would have been accused of
defending French rights. but Frances
position was complicated by the con-
ference being held in France. The
press and delegates alike considered
that the hospitality received from
France imposed on France the special
duty of protection for their benefit"
Receptions Abandoned.
Capt. Tardieu declares that to pre-
vent the conference from pursuing its
heavy task with excess Indifference,
A. j. Balfour, British representative
at the conference. and Stephen Pichon.
one of the French delegates. received
the newspaper men, but says that in
March. when the conference was con-
sldering certain much-debated points.
the supreme council asked them 20
abandon these receptions.
To the suggestion that if the public
had been informed on peace conference
doings France would not have been
obliged always to yield to the allies, M.
Tardieu replied: 'It is false that France
always yielded. Generally, on the con-
trary, she obtained satisfaction"
He then gives list of points proposed
which France succeeded in having
changed. Among them were immediate
admission of Germany to the league of
nations. no interallied occupation of the
left bank of the Rhine, no French occu-
patton. except perhaps, for eighteen
months.
