WAR SOOTARY.
1 The Imperial German chancellor,
outlining in the Reichstag concessions
I which Austria-Hungary had offered to
Italy, conditional on Italian neutrality,
referred to me strained relations d*3|
tween Italy and Austria, and said:^"
r "With its parliament the Italian peoi
pie now will decide whether it will i
reach the fulfillmen of all its national,
| aspirations in the widest extent in a!
r peaceful manner, or whether it will
i plunge tfte country into war. I will

The parliament will meet Ttsesdav
and it is probable that action may be
delayed until then. Special trains are
waiting to carry the German and Austrian
ambassadors out of the country,
if their departure becomes necessary.
One report has it that the ambassadors
have d^ianded their passports.
In London matters of supreme in
terest are t.ie possiuie lormauons 01 a :
.roalition government, and Earle Kitch-,!
ener's call for 300,000 additional men
to form new armies.
The British secretary of war, speaking
in the house of lords, announced
that as the Germans !.ad persisted in
the use of asphyxiating gases, the,
Britis.i and French government were
oi uie opinion tnat tneir troops must j
be "adequately protected by the employment
of similar methods."
In the war zones reports of the actions
contain no outstanding feature.
In fact, rains and mists have interfered
seriously with the operations in
Flanders and France, where, during
line past week, a determined movement
by the French and British has been
making Iheadway.
A fierce battle is going on in Galicia,

Malta's Ancient Capita! a Constant Reminder
of St. Paul.
The i*lace where Publius. the chief
man of Malta in St. Paul's day. lived j
is thought to be Citta Vecchia. the an-!
eient capital. It lies near the center!
of the island, about midway between
Valetta and St. Paul's bay. and is connected
with Valetta by a railroad.
Here every turn reminds us or m. j
Paul. The principal square is called
Piazza San Paolo, and here we find a :
fine cathedral, which is said to be built!
on the very site of t?c ::ouse of Pub-1
lius. Entering the cathedral, we see1
a great image of St. Paul, covered with ,
a silver cloth, a reminder by contrast'
perhaps of how little of that precious ,
metal he was possessed of in his life- ;
time.
In a nearby suburb of Citta Vecchia
is another c-hurc ] dedicated to St |
Paul and named for him. which the!
inhabitants devoutly believe is built i
over the very grotto in which he lived !
during his three months on the island,
and the catacombs of the grotto are
also called after his name.
One striking monument to the apos- j
tie reminds every passing traveler ol \
this wonderful story. In the bay cfj
St. Paul is a tiny island called Selmun.;
and on this island is a towering statue
of the apostle, which can be seen from
far. a fit emblem of the colossal char
acter which in all the ages since has]
so influenced and blessed the world.? )

the arithmetical mean between one and |

"Four things come not back?the |

life, the neglected opportunity." In
nature there are four seasons and the
four points of the compass.
Forty, a multiple of four by ten. Is
one of the sacred numoers. xne probation
of our first parents in the garden
of Eden is supposed to have been

meeting he once had with the late
Lord Salisbury. "He was a brilliant
man and a great statesman." he said.
"A little cynical, he never lost an opportunity
of having a laugh at one's
expense, but in bis laugh there was
never a trace of any malice. In tbe
interview I recounted my nation's his-1

At the end Lord Salisbury dryly re- {

that you have a brilliant history. But, I
my dear friend, it would have been
much better for the Serbs if you had a

A REAL KIDNEY MEDICINE-41
WAV? RFIIARIF
IhlU llili U 1ILIUK1I/UU
I feel that I ought to tell wfoat I
know about Swamp-Root and wl:at it
has done for me. I was down and out
and had to quit work in 1906; I onlyweighed
135 pounds. The doctor said
I had Kidney trouble in the worst
form, and my liver was out of order;
and I had Rfaeumatism so badly I
could not get around. One day I
picked up an Almanac and saw your
advertisement, and it fit my case exactly.
I got a one-dollar bottle and
took it and when it was gone I felt
i so much better tJ'nat I bought five more
bottles of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
and I was a well man; my weight increased
until I weigh 219 pounds. I
am 65 years old and I am feeling fine
and work every day. I have three men
who knew me when I had to quit work
I in the mill in 1906, and wF:o will make
! affidavit to my present health.
If you want to use the above statements
as my testimonial, you have my
consent. Yours very truly,
W. T. GRAVES,
Anderson. Indiana.
Personally appeared before me, this
4th day of February, 1914, W. T.
Graves, who subscribed t'fce above
statement and made oati'a that the
same is true in substance and in fact.
