BRITAIN Is WARNED
BY UNITED STATES
Nation Must Participate In
Privileges Under Man.
date Says Colby.

The American government has In
formed Great Britain politely, but
firmly, that It does not propose to be
excluded from participation in the
rights and privileges secured under
mandates provided in the treaties OF
peace. Furthermore, It expects to be
heard regarding the terms of those
mandates before they are put into
force.
The position OF the United States is
set forth in a note by Secretary Colby
10 Earl CurzOn. the British secretary
OF state for foreign affairs, and the
specific question discussed is that of
the Mesopotamian petroleum fields.

and was made public Thursday folio"

office early this week. II is in reply

and which deals with the application
of the principles of equality of treat
ment to the territories of the Near
East to be placed under British man
date.
The American note takes issue
with what is described as the Brit
ish position that mandate agreements
and treaties are to be considered only
by states that are members of the
league of nations. 1t states that the
United States as participant in the
world war land a contribution to its
successful issue, can not consider any
OF the associated powers, the smallest
not less than itself, debarred from dis
cussion of any of its consequences, or
from participation in the rights and
provisions secured under the mandate
provided in the treaties of peace"
Mr.. Colby said in his note that the
American government accepts the
statement of the British government
that it has refrained from exploiting
the petroleum reserves Of the man.

And so also today the air is filled with all
kinds Of bubbles that are pretty, but hollow and
fragile. On paper the theories are beautiful, but
in reality they are filled with principles that must
terminate in destruction.
Bolshevism, with its gospel of subsisting on
little or no work, of sociaizing the state without
discipline or authority to enforce law and order,
Of making men equal and theoretically brothers,
has humanitarian appeal.
But the ages have taught us that men must
work, that all of must sacrifice some independ-
ence for the good Of others, that laws and sys-
TENS cannot make brothers of men, and that
only spiritual recognition of the equality OF
men will make for real brotherhood.
Conservative and sober thinkers often re-
ceive little recognition and their opinions are
flouted spurned and Knocked Mankind is easily
led astray on false paths, especially So if the de-
coy promises leisure without work, and reward
without toll. Men pay attentive heed to the dema
gogue and spellbinder and boot down and cruelty
the saviors.
In this era of reconstruction, of vast read
justment of conditions hurled topsy-turvy by {
world cataclysm of re-shaping of mental atti
tudes, we must cast out the false prophets ant
abide by the precepts of trusted masters.
A bubble blown with ease may sparkle in the

Tor pig of unforged metal; but bubbles life il

Woman Suffering From Iaso-

After Taking Trutona.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, March 60
Il simply can not find words to ex-
press my thankfulness for the relief
Trutona has given me, and am telling
all OF my friends about it, Mrs. Mary
Mahoney. a we'll known Indianapolis
woman of 500 Kentucky Avenue, said
recently. Then Mrs. Mahoney contin-
ued thusly:
For several years I've been taking
every kind of medicine in an effort to
get relief, from constipation, nervous
ness and insomnia. For the past six
months I could hardly sleep at all.
Although I'd go to bed at nine O'Clock
1t would often be early morning before
I'd fall asleep"
81 have always been bothered with
constipation more or less, until began
using Trutona. I've been taking
Trutona for about two weeks now, and
the result is that sleep all night long
like a we'll child. I'm not bit nervous
any more and my bowels are as regu-
lar as clock-work."
1--WE taken a barrel of different
medicines, but Trutona is the only one
that ever helped me. I want everyone
troubled as I was, to try Trutona for l
know 1t will help them as 1t did me-"
Trutona's healthful action reaches
every portion of the body. and per-
forms it's work faithfully and efficient

For Two Years He
Had A Bad Stomach
Kokomo Man Relates How
the System Tonic, Dreco,
Has Entirely Cured Him.

That the stomach is responsible for
ninety per cent Of all the diseases
that human flesh is heir to, is gener-
ally conceded by the medical profess
sion. When we realize that it is also
indirectly responsible for liver, kid
ney and bladder trouble. we appreciate
the importance Of any agent that will
correct its harmful influence
Dreco is proving that it is truly a
specific for all cases of stomach
trouble. 1t exercises the greatest re-
storative effect on the liver and kid
neys and rheumatism. That this is
| the logical effect of Dreco is attested
by the testimonials Of well known peo-
pie, who have regained their health
by use of this preparation.
For instance, Mr.. John Rcsey, a
well-known machinist employed by the
Haynes Auto Co., and lives at 709
South Lafountain street, Kokomo, Ind =,
| says:
For over two years l have been
| troubled with my stomach, liver and
| kidneys; l had no appetite and what
| food ate did me no good, as it would
| ferment in my stomach and cause gas
| to form. l dreaded every meal, as I
| suffered agony afterwards. I was
constipated, had dizzy spells, head
| aches, palpitation Of the heart, and
my liver was torpid and sluggish, and
1 had dreadful pains in my kidneys,
and could hardly sit down at times. I
had tried numbers of medicines, but
none of them helped me until I heard
of your medicine, Dreco, and that
was the medicine that did the work
in my case. I have no more trouble
with my stomach, and can eat any
| thing I want without distress. I sleep
well at night. My liver and kidneys
are working we'll, and I am glad to
| state that Dreco has entirely cured
me-"
All good druggists now sell Dreco
| and it is highly recommended In Rich
mond by Thistlethwaite's drug stOfess

Today's Talk
MAKE 1T YOUR BUSINESS 7
BY George Matthew Adams

KNOW.
It's the things that you know-and
that you know you know-that make
you strong and unshakable.
Judgment, as wrapping to decis-
Ion, forms the greater part of sue
cess.
General knowledge, taken up by the
car load and carried around, makes
a man so cumbersome in his actions
that he gets but small way. But
If he has learned to select, to crys-
talize. to make his own the things
that are vital and important, he en-
tiers the leader class at once. He
knows-and he knows why he knows.
Make it your business to know.
Nothing rattles the rafters of the
house of character like the little and
big Don't-Knows. Your pride is never
lessened by admitting that you do not
know everything-but 1t is sorely bent
and bruised by not being able to know,
at the crossroads of every day expert
ence, Just how to handle the things
you do know.
The business man makes it his bus
mess to know people, as does the pub
Usher, the writer, the entertainer, the
statesman.
l engaged an office boy many years
ago. l like him. go to him for In
formation and he tells me in yes's or
nos. He never says he doesn't know
at least he never puts it that way.
And l have noticed that when he
does not know what I want to know
from him, he finds out.
You never know when you will be
wanting to know something that may
not now seem important to know. So
do not shove too much information
aside. Stamp 1t and label it and put
it into a handy place.
Make it your business-to knowl
