 of Good Faith

London, Nov. 1.-NeWspapers of this city gave great prominence today tO the address made last night before the Pilgrim society by George Harvey American Ambassador to Great Brit ain.

8 MILLION PEOPLE
 LOSE MILK SUPPLY
Strike of Drivers in New York flinders Dcliycrics-Denicrs to Run "Opcn
 Shop.'

New York, Nov. 1.--ApproXimate ly S,OO0,000 people in New York and surrounding cities found milk and cream supplies missing when they looked out their back doors this morning. The cause was q strike of the milk wagon drivers union, voted last night when negotiations for a new working agreement failed,
 The milk distributing corporations immediately began posting notices of their determination to put the "open shop policy into effect in their business and advertised for men to take the strikers places.
 The area affected in addition to greater New York included Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken, and other New Jersey cities; the greater part of the State of Connecticut most of the Long Island municipalities and large part of Westchester county, New York. The normal consumption of the af- focted area exceeds 3,000,000 quarts a day.
 More than 10000 union men were present in Madison Square Garden
  scenes of wild enthusiasm
 The union leaders conducted futile last minute negotiations with the milk conference board representing the distributors The balloting showed a vast prcponderance of strike senti- ment.
 The union leaders held out in the negotiations for a S5 weekly increase with two weeks annual vacation or full pay. The employers countered with a demand for a decrease ir wages of ten to 15 per cent but eventually withdrew this demand and offered to sign an agreement similar to the expiring pact, without any pay reduction. This the union spokesmer declined to accept
 The strikers have agreed to main tain hospital deliveries and to care for the companies horses during the strike.

UPHOLDS AMERICA IN CANAL TOLLS CASE
French Authority Says U. S.
 Can Refund Payments

On Board the Steamer Lafayette Nov. 1.--(By Wireless via Paris, to the Associated Pressl-Tolls paid by American vessels using the Panama Canal could be refunded by the United States treasury without infringas upon the treaty rights of any nation Lieut.. Col Philippe Banau-Varilla chief engineer of the Panama canal under the French regime there, told the Associated Press last night.
 He added these refunds should be from the treasury and not from the receipts and surplus of the canal, and he said there was no reason why the British government could not refund tolls paid by vessels m transit from the eastern coast ot Canada to the western ports of that country.
 "I have been looking into the tolls question somewhat" said Lieut. Col. Banau-Varile, "and l am amsolutely convinced that if the American gov ernment desires to refund tolls to the owners of American vessels 1t would be within treaty rights. There are three treaties which concern the Panama canal. The first is the treaty of Constantinople regarding the Suez waterway, which guarantees freedom and equality of treatment to ships or all flags The provisions of that treaty were accepted in the ay-Pauncefote agreement. The third convention is the Hay -Bunau-Varilla treaty that I ne- gotiated, giving to the United States title to property rights in the Panama canal"
 The British government is reported to have planned to raise the question of Panama tolls at Washington. In dis cussing this report, Lieut.. Col Bunau- Varilla who is one of the counselors for the French delegation at the Washington meeting, remarked the

CHANG is CHANGED

Shanghai, April, 1S-(By Cable)-
After terroriZing the northern part OF
the province of Honan for many
years, a celebrated Chinese bandit,
Niu Chang Ping, is reported now to
be supplying heavily armed guards
in aid of famine relief workers.
Mus followers have been in the
habit of waylaying travellers and re-
lieving them of their belongings.
Even a big funeral was one of. his
prey. But latterly he has had a
change of heart, and it is said that
Niu has been so touched by the
plight of the starving that he has
virtually reformed-for the present,
at least"
Out in the province of Honan lives
a noted Chinaman by the name of Niu
Chang Ping. Whenever he got short of
yen it was his custom there and then
to take it with a "bing!" He robbed
the rich and robbed the poor, robbed
the funeral at the door, and all with
out compuncton. Then along the fam
inc came, Niu was changed, was MOI
the same, and the good in him did
function. He now escorts the gifts Of
grain, nor taketh any toll, and from
all thieving doth refrain for welfare
of his soul.
And incidentally he has been ap
pointed a colonel in the Governments
army and is thus happily removed
from temptation. If anyone has de-
cided to give nothing to relief of the
Chinese sufferers we hope their re.
formation will be as speedy and COM
plete as Chang's.

Time a General Subject
kennebec Journal:

Editor kennebec Journal:
Suppose the voting population of
the city by majority vote decide
in favor of Daylight or Soviet time,
is this number or the Whole number
in uEanimity competent under the
Constitution and Laws of the State
to do so? Time is a general subject
of Legislation as any we'll ordered
mind admits and no political subdi-
vision of the State should challenge
the exercise of the general authority
in standardizing it to the equal rights
of all classes and to the avoidance of
confusion generally.
The Portland Press characterizes
the action of a Massachusetts town
in setting up its own will in this mat
ter in opposition to the general law
as Bolshevism, which is both apt and
timely. The touch of absolutism in
government which regards a popular
majority as omnipotent is being felt
in State matters to the prejudice of
personal and property rights and it
appears to be needlessly coming down
to the small constituent units.
Constitutions and laws of govern
ment are presumed to put restraint
upon our representatives leaving pol
iticians and faddists who are need
lessly and unlawfully setting one Sec
ton of the people against another to
their own devices, and these appear
plentiful and varied enough to occu-
py their spare moments in schemes
to Justify their existence for some
time to come.

The importance Of
Healthy Kidneys

In the removal Of waste material
from the body, the kidneys are called
upon to perform very important
duty. The failure of these marvellous
and delicately constructed organs to
properly do their work means reten-
ton in the system of poisonous mat
ter. This poisons the system, and if
permitted to remain results in severe
tackache, headache, torpid liver, con-
.stipation and eventually Bright's dis
ease. Warmers Safe Kidney and Liv-
er Remedy, a combination of herbe
and other healthful ingredients was
discovered about so years ago, and
It's value in strengthening the kidneys
ana liver was at once appreciated.
Today it stands as one of the stand
ard remedies in the treatment of dis
eases of the kidneys and liver. MANY
persons suffer from diseases of the
kidneys unknowingly. The use of

"Over two years ago my stomach
got out of order so bad l lost my ap-
petite entirely. After eating l bloat-
ed all up with gas which pressed up
into my chest and caused sharp pains
around my heart for hours. Every
thing l ate made me sick, and at
times l got so dizzy everything
seemed to be going round and round
Often my heart palpitated, and l got
so short of breath l wondered if my
time for this world wasn't about up
wasVrestless every night and felt
more tired mornings than did on 60
ing to bed. My legs and arms hurt
and swelled nearly all the time from
rheumtism, and / suffered from con-
stipation constantly.
well, one of our near neighbors
was taking Tanlac with such good re-
suits that l decided to see if it would
help me and it is surprising the way
it has relieved my troubles and built
me up Why, l never had such an
appetite before in my life, and all my
strength has come back to me. l
never have a bit of trouble with my
stomach, and those rheumatic pains
that used to be SO bad at night 1
couldn't sleep, have disappeared and
l go to sleep almost as soon as l get
in bed. l gave my little boy some
Tanlac, too, and it gave him a fine
appetite and got him hearty again.
