I’livsiii.-ms and druKKisk 1 are very enthusiastic over the new and iniprvoed aspirin tablets, called Aspitone, which are slightly stimulating instead of de pressing to tlie heart and should be ased especially ffir. heathudie, neural gia, rheumatism and other heart weak ening diseases, such as influenza, severe colds and tlueatened pneumonid.

Ill SPA NEGOTIATIONS SATISFACTION EXPRESSED BY hun Papers in comments ON THE SITUATION. K BLUFF FOR BETTER TERMS Conditions in Central and Southern Germany in Respett to Food Are Not Bad if Correctly Reported. Weimar.—The negotiations concern ing shipping and food at Spa were ruptured with the support of the rep resentatives of the German shipping interests, including Director Heineken of the North German Lloyd, who de clared that if ’the Germans met the allied demands it would mean the ruin of German mercantile and sea trad' interests. -, , In .commenting on the Jiews, the Peutschetahd expresses satisfaction with the attitude of the German rep- tnan people will endorse and support their attitude. Geneva.—While Germany has brok en off official relations with the allies at Spa over the question of food sup plies, travelers arriving in Switzer land recently from across the Rhine report food conditions in central and southern Germany are not critical and do not demand immediate relief. The travelers say the statements of tt&^&erman government are only a bluff in order to get better terms from the allies. —Travelers from Austria and Hun gary declare the populations there are really starving and need immediate help. These reports are confirmed by British and American commisions in these countries.

AD Druggists 1.17 London —Notice has been given In the house of commons of the inten tion of Ronald MhNeill to ask the secretary of state for foreign affairs whether he has any official informa tion of the report of the resolution having been adopted by the American house of representatives on the sub ject of Ireland, and if so, will he make a formal protest Against the Interference of a foreign legislature In the domestic affairs of the United Kingdom. education of illiterates tluough'out the length and breadth of America. Sena tor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has intro duced a bill In the Senate “to promote the education of illiterates, of persons unable to understand and use the Eng lish language, and other .resident per sons of foreign birth,” and the same measure has been. Introduced in th* House by Hon. William B. Bankhead, of Alabama' ^ The Introduction of this important bill means a great deal to the South, which, because of Its negroes and mountain whites, has long borne a reputation for illiteracy out of propor tion to that of the rest ot the coun try. Just what steps will be immedi ately taken as the result of the passage of the education of illiterates bill at Washington cannot be stated at this time, but, certainly, practical meas ures will be put into operation for the establishment of schools in both rural districts and cities. Other organizations besides that of the government are at work on the same problem—the establishment of schools In the heart of tenement dis tricts and rural communities being a mattes, of first importance with all of them. One of the most significant movements' of the times in this con nection' is that of the Centenary of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, because that denomination will expend within the next five years over $3,000,000 among the uneducated classes in the Southern and Western States. The church is to raise a fund of $35,000,000 in an eighDday drive in April, the financial campaign being a part of the Centenary Celebration of the denomination. The money is be ing raised with a view to putting the work of the church on a business basis, the church considering its duty to the illiterates here in America to be among the matters of first importance which It should undertake. A survey has been made and. the result of the campaign wjll be the apportionmept of $30^0.000 among the various illiterate population as follows: Mountain pop ulation. $730,0.00; immigrant. $900,000; negroes, $500,000; Indians. $1.>0 000; cotton mill population, $150,000; Chris tian literature for all of them, $100,000. With the definite step undertaken at Washington, with one d?nominatiou already completing its plans for fur thering the work among them, and with other churches and organizations jetting ready to join hands in their tecbal'. it Is more than possible that the Illiterates of the South are In a fair way to soon become educated citi zens of the United State*. AUTHORS OF GREAT WAR ARE TO BE SEVERELY PUNISHED Paris.—While R is impossible to give any forecast of the terms of the report of the commission on responsi- biliyt for the war, which report la about completed, it may he said that those who have been urging that drastic action should be thken against the principal authors of Germany’s war crimes will not be disappointed In the -conelusions of the'commission. The report will' inckide a general historical survey of events. V WILSON AGAINST SINKING” OF SURRENDERED SHIPS Special display of 'Rugs and Art Squares in both grass (Crex) and wool.
