OUKR BOT STRONGER ! To be healthy at seventy, prepare at forty, is sound advice, because in the ' strength of middle life we too often forget tnat neglected colds, or careless treatment of slight aches and pains, simply undermine strength and bring chronic weakness for later years. To be stronger when older, keep your blood pure and rich and active with the strength-building and blood-nourishing ) l*operties of Scott's Emulsion which I" a iood, a tonic and a medicine to keep your blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and avoid sickness.

GERMANY ADMITS T0BPED01NG THREE Berlin.?The Gorman reply to the American nolo concerning the damaging or sinking of five steamnhios contains the statement that the steamers Englishman, Eagle Point, Manchester Engineer and Berwindvale were destroyed by German submarines.

The note states fhat a German submarine torpedoed a steamship in the vicinity of the place at which the cross channel steamship Sussex was damaged by an explosion but that evidence at hand indicates that the vessel torpedoed by the submarine was not the Sussex. o AVOID SPRING COLDS.

FIFTEEN HUNDRED HOMES ARE PARTLY UNDER WATER Winnipeg, Man., and Suburb Threatened by Red River Flood. Winnipeg, Man., April 22.?Fifteen hundred homes in various parts of Winnipeg and St. Boniface, a suburb, are partly under water tonight and a a further rise of two feet in the Red river would carry the water to Portage avenue and Main Street in the center of the Winnipeg business districts. Hundreds of cellars, including that of the city hall, are flooded and heavy damage has been caused. The R^d river is reported to be rising at Emerson where nearly the entire business section is flooded. The water is stationary here. lamps overhead. Durnnd sees it. J .like Lnvell. who lias stepped aside at seeing Esther ami Quahhn. sees It. There Is wild uproar, and Peter, with ids ruffianly help, sides with Durund in the hold claim the latter makes for the diamond. It is torn from the neck of Esther, and in the grasp of Peter JlnO' some secret spring Is touched, and the back of the locket opens, and a creased paper falls. It is a woman known as Kansas Mm who seizes and reads the paper, calling for silence, which falls in a great dramatic hush on all the company. She reads: "Oh, child of my heart! Not a diamond, but a loving mother's prayer, is the true 'charm against harm.' " Even a life of shame cannot stamp out the feminine desire for decency and the womanly obsession to protect the innocent and the motherless. A quiver shakes Kansas Km. Two groat tears streak the paint upon her sallow cheeks. She turns in fury upon her boss and master. "Tills is a mother's prayer?tills locket is that poor girl's." As though this were a signal at which all deinonaic passions were to break loose, the dance hall viragos, in a psychological outburst of emotion and frenzied anger, sprang upon the proprietor of the place and all his bullies, sera tenia g. biting like Valkyries. For one brief moment Arthur and Ksther gazed into each other's eyes and for the tirst and. alas. l'i?"'ihe last time for many dmcer nays wore onisped in each other's arms. An.I then, as the chroniclers of tho combat th-.l followed will toll .you. "trouble? really broke loose." Instinctively all look sides, the good element against the bad and even the hotter element of tho bad against the worst Ksther and Arthur were torn apart: men and women fought like maniacs with hands and feel and teeth; every article that could be lifted an 1 smashed was thrown or struck with. The lunch counter went over with a crash, the bar toppled and fell, and then the surge of the crowd, as a wave of the combat drove it to one side, tore out the west wall of the rickety frame building, and down smashed the roof, crushing all beneath it, and beneath it was Arthur Stanley, shattered to insensibility. But where was the diamond from the sky? I TO UK CONTINUED.] ALLIES CLAIM BLOCKADE IS LEGALLY MAINTAINED I | In Reply to United States, Entente Powers Base Action on Admitted Right. Washington.?According to nuthen- ; I tie information reaching- Washington j j from Great Britain and France, in l their joint note replying to the American protest against interference ' with neutral trade, make no attempt; I to dispute principles contended for by j the United States, hut insist tha.j those principles have been given legai interpretation and application by thei allies in their blockade of Germany and Austria. This note, which will be handed to the state department within the next day or two by the British and French ambassadors, is understood to be long and extremely technical, treating of I t'ne whole subject on a purely legal I basis and replying largely on the prin ! ciples laid down by the United States in the War Between the States. It is I' said that the allies claim that the United States does not contend that it has a right to ship goods without re si notions into Germany or Austria through contiguous neutral countries, such as Holland, Sweden and Denmark. The concession of the right to block ade an enemy country, which is universally recognized, is regarded as necessarily carrying with it the right to regulate the admission of goods to a neutral country evidently destined to be transferred to the enemy. DREADNAUGHT RULES SEAS : Asst. Secty. Roosevelt Says Rig Battleship Has Played Great Part in War. Washington.?Dreadnoughts have won the greatest victory of the European war, without firing a shot, Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, or tne navy told the House naval com mittee. With enough dreadnoughts h? said, the United States would win a "bloodless victory" in a war. "Today the United States is richer and weaker than ever in its history, in comparison with other powers,' Mr. Roosevelt said, explaining that the nation has great potential resources but a "handful of an army," and a navy weaker than several powers for] immediate defense. By keeping the foe's fleet off the seas, Mr. Roosevelt said, the British I dreadnoughts had attained the aim for which they were buiit. That there is a possibility at least of this nation becoming involved in war with a victor in Europe was as-1 ' 11 sorted by Mr. Roosevelt. He picturedij disaster in a war with a fleet twice asi] strong, expressing belief that the j United States' fleet would be wiped j out, the Panama canal and the United States' possessions lost and the nation "bottled up" and opened to invasion. ! f "Cured"! m Mrs. Jay McGee.of Steph- [gj ^ enville, Texas, writes: "For nine (9) years.

FRANCE IS DEEFLY MOVED BY NOTE' Wilson' Championship of Humanity's Rights is Extolled by French Papers ' '*? Paris.?The comment of the French pi ess on President Wilson's address to Congress may be summed up in these words, which the Petit Parisien prints in large type as a headline over the text of the speech: "Never has the head a state pro ! nounced such grave words against a! state with which it was not at war." ! The president's address has made a leep impression in France. All the ritwspapers give it the place of honor. It overshadows the British cabinet ?visis, and even the arrival of Russian forces at Marseilles. The speech is' i lot merely a formal injunction, the 1*1-1 it Parisien says; it is a closely knit md stern indictment pronounced in tin name of all neutrals, "against Gor man barbarity and duplicity, marking Lite Gorman government with a brand' I which nothing can efface." Epoch Making Act. The Matin characterizes the ad-1 dress as epoch-making and continues:! "When the responsible and almost sovereign head of a hundred million fiec citizens mounts the rostrum in Congress to declare 'we are the spokes men of the rights of humanity,' he has performed an act of immense normal | importance. It is in the name of legal- j it> that this statesman, having behind him the country on which the whole' world depends, declares be fa re the! whole world: 'We will not tolerate in-1 justice.' "In those few words his whole mes J sage is summed up. It is an historical1 event, which is deserving of our ad miration as one of the noblest acts in 1 the memory of mankind." Stephen Pichon, former foreign min ister, says in the Petit Journal, that the firmness and solemnity with which Mr. Wilson made known his resolution to Congress recalls the greatest days of American history. He continues: "Whether or not the Germans disavow the action of their submarines they are caught in their own trap and all their presumption falls to the ground before the calm and resolute attitude of a great country standing up for the rights of humanity." Says Germany Can't Yield. Under the heading, "Germans confronted with an honest man," Jean Herbette, one of the leading French I authorities on international politics,' says: "TUo. - 1 * vici 111ct11 government must be' surprised to find itself face to face' with the only force of which it is if?-1 norant?conscience. If Germany gives in. it would be an unforgetnble hu-j nidation, for it would be a triumph of that ideal of justice and liberty , against which Germany went to war. The sinking of a few ships more or less would not effect German interests! greatly but how could Chancellor von | Hothmann Holhveg mention Belgium | and Poland as 'pledges' in his peace j programs of the submarine, that other j disloyally acquired weapon, had been knocked out of his mand by a cham-, pion right ? The rulers of Germanv cannot with impunity open a breach in the fortresses of their iniquities." GERMANY TO PASS j DYF.STUFF SUPPLY, Washington.?Germany has agreed lo permit exportation to the United St tc>> > ' i 5,000 tons of dyestuffs, lack cf winch has seriously affected American textd? manufacturers. Not'fication to this effect was contained i.i a note delivered to SeT'tarv Lansing by Count von Jlernstorff, the German ambassador. The communication explains that, while Germany refused at first to permit exportation of dyestuffs unless they be exchanged for American goods excluded from Germany by the British blockade, after careful consideration of the situation it has been seen "that this blockade has resulted in serious embarrassment to those American industries which are in need of dyestuffs," and *he imperial German government now is prepared to make "a single exception" in permitting exportation in this instance. It is required only that the dyestuffs ?,n.?n Krt - i i? * wv vuii?uiih'(i oy /vioenean tmmu facturcrs and not reexported to Great; Ilrit&in or her allies. <> Invigorating to the Pale and Sickly The Old Standard Rcncrol strengthening tonic, ' GROVK'A TASTItl.KSS chill TONIC, driven out | Malar in,enriches r.ie Mood,and hi lids tip the ays* cent.
