GREEKS MUST HALT,

Paris. Constantine may fan and
Venizelos may resume power in Greece
as a result Of an ultimatum sent by
Great Britain, France and Italy to
Athens demanding that the offensive
against the Turkish nationalist be
withheld and the Greek government
submit the matter to the big powers
for mediation with Mustapah Renal
Pasha.
Lord Curzon, Premier BRAND and
the Italian representatives demanded
of Athens that hostilities should not
commence until the big three had
been given opportunity to arrange an
amicable settlement with the Turk
nationalists.
II King Constantine persists in
launching the offensive the big pow
ers will continue the financial block.
ade Of Greece, which has been ef-
fective since Venizelos was over
thrown, and will maintain strict neu.
trality in the Dardanelles and Black
Sea, preventing Greek blockade Of
AnatoIian ports and thus permitting
shipments Of supplies and munitions
to reach the Kemalists. The ulti-
matum also provides that Greece &C.
cept revision of the Sevres treaty to
the extent that Smyrna be placed un-
der interallied control temporarily,
which it is expected Renal will &C.
cept. The East Thrace problem was
left for settlement when the supreme
council meets.
If Greece accepts the ultimatum
and peace with the Turks is estab-
lished the "big three" promise to lift
the financial embargo and permit the
Athens government to arrange its
fiscal affairs.
Venizelos, who arrived secretly
from London, was present at Quai
d'Orsay during the conferences, and
beliefs were expressed that if Constan-
tine accepted the ultimatum he would
be overthrow.
Downfall of the Constantine govern.
ment would seem assured in the fu-
ture, however, If the ultimatum was
rejected, as the Greeks lack funds,
munitions and supplies, and if the "big
three" permit shipments of war sup
plies to the Kemalists it is expected
the Turks will drive the Greeks from
Smyrna into the sea.
1t is believed by some that the
Athens government may accept the
ultimatum on condition that the allies
reimburse Greece for the cost Of
maintaining it's army in Asia Minor
since last year, when the Sevres
treaty was adopted.

SEES A
CHANGE IN FATHER.
Grateful Son Says His Father
Looks Like Different Man
Since Taking TanIaC.

my father has suffered from
chronic stomach trouble for over
twenty years and has paid out thou
sands of dollars for medicines and
DOCTORS" said G. w. SlaytOn, we'll
known Cobb County farmer, living q
short distance out of Atlanta, Ga.
1--WE tried nearly everything trying
to cure him and he went Off to the
Springs, thinking maybe the water
might help him, but 1t just looked
like nothing would reach his trouble.
Then he tried dieting and lived on
liquid food until he almost starved,
but even that failed to do him any
good and he just kept going from bad
to worse.
II don't guess there ever was a
case as stubborn as his, and II there
ever was a confirmed dyspeptic he was
one Of them, and 1 guess he would
have been one yet If 1t hadn't been
for this Tanlac.
"The first we heard Of this medi-
cine was when my father saw an ad-
vertlsement In the papers from parties
he knew In Tennessee. who were
friends of his and he knew what they
said about it was the truth, so he got
It right away and began taking it.
Well, sir, 1t acted just like magic
everybody notices the change in IA
Their. Why, he is just like different
man and sits down to the table and
eats like a farmland. Only yesterday
he ate pork and turnips for his dinner
and ate so much we were actually
afraid he was going to overdo the
thing, but he laughed and said nothing
hurt him now and that he was hungry
and expected to eat and make up for
lost time.
'Now, when a medicine will do
things like that I think people ought
to know about 1t, and 1 want to say
right now that l would not give one
bottle of Tanlac for all the other
medicines and health resorts in the
country put together"

CITIZEN. SOLDIERE
PERSHING'S HOPE
SAYS SUMNER TRAINING CAMPS
ARE KEYSTONE OF LAND
DEFENSE.
OUTLINES FUTURE POLICY
Citizens Camps Antl-MIIltarlstic and
emoeratIe-Warns Against Over.
confidence There viii BE
Ne Future Wars.

Washington.-What will be Amer.
Ica's future military policy? Gen. Per-
shing, recently appointed chief-of-
staff, in the first interview given
since his return from France. revealed
the guiding rule Of that policy as he
will carry it out.
Anything which the former COM
mander-in-chief of the A. e. F. has to
say concerning military affairs is, Of
course, Of interest. But of particular
significance are his views as express
ed, for in addition to the authority
which his recent appointment gives to
him, he has been selected by the ad-
ministration also to direct in another
capacity, the organization of Ameri-
cas- armies-active and in reserve for
any future war.
Briefly, 1t may be said that Gen.
Pershing believes the citizens mill
tary training camps, to be conducted
this summer, can be made the key
stone of this country's land arm OF
defense.
Although he did not express it in
SO many words, it was clear that Gen.
Pershing has no idea that universal
military service will ever be estab-
lished. Adequate citizen soldiery,
rather than large standing army, is
the goal to which he is working.
OF such conviction in his determ1-
nation to have the citizens camps
made a success that he consented to
break his long standing rules against
interviews and discuss with the writer
the significance Of the camps.
But before so doing he made clear
in no uncertain terms that he was
speaking not as a professional sol
der, but as an American and a citi-
zen interested more in the broad pol
icy of national preparedness than in
any advantage which might accrue to
the regular army.
81 am always fearful" he said,
that any views l might express will
be regarded in that light.
"This is a big question, however,
and l hope the country will realize
that my convictions are in no way
colored by the fact that l am a pro-
fessional soldier"
In two respects, Gen. Pershing said,
the camps serve as a foundation for
our military policy though rough
" consistent with Americas national
traditions" he added.
First, they are anti-militaristic and,
second, they are democratic to the
core.
1T is no longer to be doubted that
with world conditions as they are,
preparedness for war, as Lincoln said,
is insurance for peace.
ITO train a man to defend his
country is no more developing mill
tarist Of him than it is making a
pugilist of a boy to teach him how
to use his fists in self-defense.
"That, we can quickly dispose OF.
What do want to impress, however.
is the value to democracy Of these
camps and the army we hope to build
up through them.
1--WE have never had military au-
tocracy in this country, thank God,
and we never will.

Close confinement of cattle during the winter makes them liable 10 lice and mange. During the summer they have a
 better opportunity to rub and care for themselves but in winter when they are out in the yard for only snort time
 each day or perhaps only at intervals of several days, they cannot look after
 themselves so well. Lice are nearly al- ways present and the conditions under which the cows are kept in winter com
 monly tend to produce a large increa SC in their numbers. Any considerable
 number of them are a torment to come and will materially lessen the nily pro
 auction if not attended to.
 There are two varieties of lice, the biting and the sucking kinds. Both can be held in check by proper treatment found on the neck. slices and withers The biting lice are generally found on the wfthers and at the base of the tail. There are many ways of treating them.
 Any of several good powders and diDs : on the market will do good. The pow ' ders will get the mature lice but will
 not get the nits. A good treatment for them is to apply with a brush a mixture
 Of one-half pint of kerosene and one
 pound of lard. This can be spread on the affected portions of the body It should be repeated in Is days so as to
 get rid of those which escaped the first application. Kerosene should not be
 applied alone unless some grease is ap- piled immediately afterwards. It is a powerful irritant unless it's effect is mod | filed by some heavy grease.
 | Mange is skin disease caused by small parasite. It commonly appears
 first on the withers and around the case
 of the tail. The first symptoms are loss 1 of hair and the formation of a scab on
 the skin. The treatment is simple. Cut
 away what remains of the hair and
 wash the skin with soap and warn. wa ! ter to remove the scabs and scales on the skin. If this is not done the treat ment will not be effective as the parasite
 underneath these scabs will not be reached. After the skin is cleared ur well a mixture of one part of sulphur ! to four parts of lard should be rubbed l on the affected places. After three ol four days the should be washed off and another application given. Commonly this will be enough to effect a cure. l, taken in time mange can be stopped. Il

One of the secrets of successful farm poultry raising is keeping new blood in the stock. In breeding, unless thoroughly understood, is most dangerous. This is an excellent month to buy young cock erels for the spring flock.
 It is a. little strange but a fact, that one of the reasons so few cows freshen in the fall months is that breeding in the cold months of December and Jan uary is entirely overlooked or neglected Now is the time, too, to breed sows for April pigs.
 A farm worship is most valuable asset It is especially 50 if there Is a boy with liking for tools Often in a single winter there Is enough saved in repairs and improvements to pay the entire cost of the outfit. And it keeps a boy interested in the farm work, which is a mighty big thing
