French Comment
on Passage Knox
Peace Resolution

Paris, May 1-(By The Associated
Press)-News that the United States
Senate had adopted the Knox reso-
luton declaring at an end the state
of war between the United States
was received too late for extended
comment.
The Journal Des Debats alone
comments editorially on the resolu-
ton, finding small comfort in it, The
newspaper emphasizes the contrast
between the declaration of Senator
Lodge on the difficulty of separating
the covenant of the League of Ma
tions from the treaty with President
Harding's well received suggestion
that the existing treaty be utilized,
with explicit reservations.
I'VE hesitate to substitute Dessi-
mism, which nothing yet seems to
justify" the Journal says, for the
optimism spontaneously h gu & h
somewhat hurriedly, displayed here
after Mr.. Harding's inaugural ad-
dress.
I'VE know as yet only the opinion
of the majority of the American gov
eminent. which undeniably is favor
able to US Two other essential fac
tors, public opinion and the Senates
attitude, remain almost unknown
The indications given by Senator
Lodge and the divergence of views
shown between the government and
the Senate upon the vital point
withdrawal or closer relations-are
not calculated to give us all the con-
fidence we would wish"
This ignorance of the Senate's at
titude is based upon the belief that
Senator Lodge found it necessary to
consult various groups of senators
and make concessions to preserve
party unity. the newspaper says.

After the victory the masked marvel' sent his wrestling partner to meet Manos. The Le- gionnaire threw him with even less difficulty.

WARE WASTE AND
 WEAR WELL!
Human Bodies Are Poisoned by Their OUn Waste. Most Illnesses
 Are PreUentobIe.

The human body has to be heated and fine foods burned inside the body pro. duce much waste. All this waste should be removed from the body regularly, thoroughly, daily, by the eliminative organs,-which are the bowels, kid neys, skin, and to some extent the lungs. These should act in harmony if the bowels are inactive extra effort is required of the others, which easily become deranged. Many medicines will force bowel action temporarily but the after effects are harmful. Many remedies are adver- tised, some of which have proven year after year to be reliable, effici- ent, and without harmful action or effect. Take Beecham's Pills for ex- ample. For over 70 years Beech am's has been a household word all over the world. 70 years of use by all sorts of folks, men, women and even children, have proven first, that Beecham's Pills do what is claimed for them; second, that they are harmless, do not produce bad effects. Some medicine forces Nature to unnatural action. Other medicines, like those contained in Beecham's Pills assist Nature, act mildly, per suade and hence produce no harmful eff ects. 1t is common to find fam flies in which Beecham's have been used by several generations, their use handed down from father to son and from mother to daughter.
 That's the best possible recom- mendation, for any remedy. Every druggist sells Beecham's, is glad to do so because he knows that their reputation has been won by merit.
