A Word to the Wise

''In March I was called to the bed side of my sister in Brewton, Ala bama. She was given up to die and was almost dead. Talked in a whis- per. Doctors said nothing but an operation would save her and she was too weak for that. Her color was yellow as a pumpkin and she was fll- ed with gas. That day I heard of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and went and got a bottle for her. In three weeks she was able to be about and walked a mile to church.

SUICIDE BRIDGE TRAGIC
 SPOT IN PARIS
Many Leap to Death in Seine of Pont Des Arts, Where Napoleon Once TrOd.
By ALICE LANGELIER
I. N. s. Staff Correspondent.

Paris, Dec. S-''Au secours, help, help au secours!' One hears
 the cry often on a dark evening while crossing the old Pont des Arts. It is the famous suicide bridge" which spans the Seine, built by Ma pOleon when he wished to wander from the Louvre palace to the Insti- tute on the other side.
 No traffic is allowed on this bridge, only foot passengers, and this is per haps one of the reasons why so many unhappy persons choose it for a jumIa ang-off place. It is quiet and dark with little to distract the thoughts. Then, too. 1t is perhaps the most charming spot along the whole length of the river. facing the lovely "I1e de Ia Cite. with the spires of Notre Dame and La Sainte Chapelle darting into the air. And if one must die it is just as well to choose a beautiful spot. It is a little fairyIand in Springtime, when the fine green leaves begin to come out and droop down to the waters edge. At night, when the lights pop out, the shadow form long red and green ribbons in the Seine.
 According to statistics. more women than men give up their lives to the muddy river, and they are mostly young OneS-girlS deserted III love, jealous or forlorn ones. Very often they touch the water and then decide that life is good, after all, ana then comes the cry-'Au secours, au secours! which rings across the water on a quiet evening. The lire savers hurry out-they are scattered at different spots along the banks and often they arrive in time. Ortener they find nothing but hat. And the old women rest their market baSk IS and pause for a moment on the bridge "Ah. ben, mon Dieu! if the poor creature did it for g. man sne was mighty foolish-men are noc worth it these days!"'
 Maie ou, but perhaps she is bet ter off. mon Dieu Ia vie est dure!" And they pick up their market baskets and toddle on.

an instrument of warfare was out
lawed today by Great Britain, Japan,
France, Italy and the United States,
who. through their representatives Iii
the Washington conference, approved
the American proposal to prohibit
the use Of that weapon.
After the adoption of the anti-gas
resolution. the armament committee
took up the report of its subcommit-
tee on aircraft limitation, but reached
no conclusion OH that matter. The
aircraft discussion will be continued
Monday.
On
subcommittee reported that it was
deemed impossible to limit the size or
use OF characteristics OF aircraft,
other than lighter than air machines,
and that the question of restricting
aircraft in war in its opinion should
be left open for future conference.
