HEALTH THE SECRET
OF ATTRACTION

Women of today depend a good deal
upon the modern modiste and a
knowledge of the cosmetic art to
make them attractive. Too often
there exists beneath it all a suffering
woman whose nervous laugh or forced
smile covers a pang of agony caused
by some feminine i'll. To such a
woman Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound will bring health and a
happy relief from her suffering, that
will make her far more attractive
than costly gowns and cosmetics.

women have relied upon this root and

Sally stared at her in amazement.
1t was unthinkable, of course-yet
possible too. that Graham Browne,
falling in love with Babs, had gone de-
liberately to work to come between
her and her husband. Certainly he
had chosen a clever way of doing it!
She recalled everything that she knew
about Browne. II was unlike him to
be so considerate of others when nc
benefit for himself was involved. Sally
remembered her own desperate appeal
o him for help, when she feared Keith
Gilbert so, and his refusal to believe
that her fears were we'll grounded.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thmopson: We live in
a double house. In the same house is
a girl fourteen years old. She is the
most disagreeable girl I have ever
seen and her mother doesn't pay any
attention to her manners. She Goesn t
swear, but she uses all kinds of slang.
One night l had some company and
she came in and l was ashamed OF
the way she acted. She kept saying
"Oh, Halifax" She also said lot OF
other unladylike things. Her mother
sat right there and listened to her and
didn't correct her.
Do you think it would be all right
for me to tell the mother that she
ought to correct her daughter more
and not let her be so rough?
INTERESTED NEIGHBOR.
I do not think you should interfere
in the mothers discipline of her child
1t is unfortunate that the little CIR
should be permitted to act in a rough
way, but for you to say anything tc
the mother would be useless. The
mother would only resent your inter
ference and your relationship would
be constrained. Experience will tone
down the child. She will learn in
time that if she wants the companion
ship of refined people she herself must
be refined.
S. A. W.-How can you expect him
to treat you in any way but indiffer
emily when You provoked such an at
titude. You have no one to blame
but yourself. 1t always pays to BIZ
courteous and kind, even if you are
provoked. If he sees fit to ignore
you, it has taught you a lesson in pc
likeness and courtesy.

not expected any sentiment.

"The French taxpayer, therfore, pays

I asked the minister how could "this

"By placing ones self face to face
with realities. If at the beginning the
Allies had imposed debt commission
for Germany, if they had established
receiver with full rights on reserved

lied that France meant business, and

ancc, visit Of tho French fleet to
Russia is noted by the cx-Kaiscr:
'23 July, 1S9l-As for the visit OF
the French fleet to Cronstadt and
the Franco Russian brotherly demon
stration which followed, the Belgian
Minister at Berlin reports: The
union between France and Russia
rests only on common hatred of
Germany. This union can therefore
nave but an aggressive character.'"
Here again we have tho cx-Kaiscr
relying on the reports of Belgian
diplomat. He mentions in line or
so tho famous Drcyfus affair, which
rocked France to tho bottom, and
merely adds that the Dreyfus case was
creating strong anti German feeling
The cx-kaiscr stretches the truth
There were no anti-Gcrman manifcsta-
tons at the time tho Drcvfus affair
broke out, but there was q strong anti
Jewish feeling. The fact that the al
legged spy was 4 native Of A]sacc and
Jew caused considerable stir. The
entire tragedy was tho elimination
OF an antiScmitic campaign engineer ed
by Edouard Drummond, chief editor
of the "Librc Parole" assisted by a
man we'll known in America, tho
Marquis ie Mores.
Under the heading "Francc," the
Kaiser notes news item culled from
the magazine the "Deutsche Revue"
190S):

French Ambassador at London:

And, following the above:

Attention is called to the January

published in 1908. These "1istorical

but a defense" compiled systemati
cally years after the noted event oc-

In 1897 the exchange Of visits be-
tween the Gar of Russia and the
French President is noted:

liam II notes:

Germany to participate in anti
American Intervention to prevent the
Spanish American War. Proposition

Az the same inc and by contrast th'
Kaiser does not let the opportunity
pass to show what hatred France har
bored against Germany, as evidenced
by the following note:
"Fcbruary l, 19OO-At the official re-
ccption rendered Dcschanel, the fu-
turc President of France, by tho

which, according to the Versailles
Treaty, are expenses for which France
should be reimbursed by Germany be-
cause they deal entirely and exclusive
ly with restoration of the devas tated
regions and payment of war pens ions.
These expenses for the year 1922
amount to moro than twelve billion

Since the armistice they exceed eighty

"Up to the present time the German
government has only reimbursed the

Kaiser Complies List
0f International Events

Who or what is the mysterious
power which recently has awakened
the German nation? What is it that
encourages the German people to-day
to see the star of hope again shining
anot TOO far distant horizon?
To answer those questions it is nee
essary to refer to the exchange of let
ters between the former Kaiser and his
trusted lieutenant, Won Hindenburg.
These letters, dated April, 1921. have
Just been made public. Why
In Won Hindenburg's letter dated
March 80, 1921, occurs the following
table: assembled by your majesty, and
which your majesty has permitted me
70 see, form s valuable contribution to
the history and origin of the war, and
are calculated to dispose Of many in
correct conceptions"
IN his answer to Won Hindenburg's S
letter the ex-Kaiser, under date Of
April 5. 1921. writes:
The motive by which I was guided
IN assembling these historical tables
