i The Cause of War. j ^
Paris, May 5.?The imaginary in-; (
-asion of German territory by the,
g
French was the pretext for the declaration
of war on France, says
Gottleib von Jagow, former German ^
foreign minister, in a book which h?
has just published entitled "The Uni-|
versal War, Its Causes and Beginning."
The alleged French incursions
were reported to the Ger- tl
man staff by subordinate officers, von H
Jagow says, and the staff communi- c<
1 cated the information to the govern.
ment without attempting to asceri
tain the facts. '
The former foreign ministers as* ^
sert that before the war ho was convinced
of the necessity of an accord ,
with Great Britain and expresses regret
that Germany unfavorably re- ?
ceived offers of an alliance made in
1899. j 01

One Day's Test
The stomach only partly digests the i
food we eat. Tl\e process Is finished
In the intestines whero the food la
mixed with bile from the liver.'
It must be plain to any sensible peron
who realizes this, that the
stomach, liver and bowels must work
in harmony if digestive troubles^^M
are to be avoided or overcome.
This fact also' explains why J ^
sufferers from indigestion, alsofl ^
suffer more or less from head- W

If you are ofie of the many unfortunate
persons who cannot eat 7^
without suffering afterward, if you i
art constipated, have bilious spells,
