I| hnd no appetite and couldn’t eat| enou&!h to keep up my strength.

After starting | on the second bottle I began to fas! | better. My appetite returned and it ! just looked like I could, hardly wait for meal time to come. In fact, I was hungry all the time. “My back and kidneys don’t bother | me any more and I can sleep like a log now.

HE WILL URGE PASSAGE OF | THE KNOX RESOLUTION. HE FAVORED IT LAST YEAR| France Is Especially Anxious to Learn the Intentions of the New Administration Concerning the Treaty of Defensive Alliance. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—In Washington, and ! In the senate particularly, there is keen curiosity to learn whether or net President Harding will press for the immediate passage of the Knox resolution declaring that a state of peace exists between the United States and Germany. It generally is expect-| [ ed tint the passage of the resolution | +us it originally wag frawmed, or in some | amended. form, will be a nrellmlum'y! step in the movement for the formu-! lation of a' general foreign relulluus' | policy. | A member.of the new cabinet has told your correspoudent that Mr. Har- ding's pronouncement carly “in the campaign in favor of the hmmediate passage of the Knox resolution was)| too specific and to» apparently heart- | felt to admit of any marked change Iu the presidential policy expect dr the most urgent reasons. It ulso wasg son to believe that Mr. Harding in- ter. There was, however, attached to the Knox resolution for immediate peace a paragraph which was strick- en out because several senators ob- Jected to it. These senators said that| they were afraid Americn might com-| wit itself to some international agree-: ment which would, prevent future in-| dependent action ' by “this country along certain lines of definite Amer- lcan policy, H It was in the summer of 1919 that a part of the Knox resolution to! which objection was entered was stricken out. It was a declaration of ! | American intention toward European affalrs in case another kaiser, or somebody else, should strike a blow at liberty and democracy. *In a gen- erul way the section of the resolu- tion declared that such attempts would not be viewed by Americany unconcernedly, but that this country would take measures to meet such a Bituation. Hughes to Have Free Rein. L President Harding at. times has| more than suggestéd that he will fa- vor some kind of an association ot\ nations which will enable the worldi to work for peace. Since the appointment of Charles! E. Hughes as sceretary of state, it has! | been said that he will be given a free | | It's impossible. rein to work out his own interngtion- | al polley. Of course no such gtate- ment of, entire frecdom of action Harding believed that in a general | way, at least, Mr. Hughes' views on international matters are like his own. 1t is taken for granted in this city that the new President and his secre- tary of state” will favor some kind of | a pronouncement which will declave; that Anierica will not view uncon- cernedly any attempt of a great wil- itary power to overrun another coun- try, or to strike any, kind of blow | at liberty and democracy. It is for this reason that'the feeling seems to run here that the elause in the Knox resolution which once - was mrlcken out, will be reinstated. Recently the French and British press have been asking what America | intends to do. In the Intransigeant of Paris, Gabriel Hanotaux has put the question thus to Amerlea: “Frankly we want to know how she Is going to end the war. With us or without us? That is what we want to know. 'The rest does not matter much.”* i France Wants Promise of Aid. It is apparent from this that France | desires today, as she always has de- sired, that the United States will make some kind of agreement with lier guaranteeing afd in case of an atiack upon her by a great military power. “When President Wilson was abroad he gave assurance that the United States would make a treaty of alliance guaranteeing American aid | in case of a German attack. The treaty alliance wmtter has Dbeen| . shelved, temporarily, at leasp, and now | business and ruling i won't hurt you.” SPIKE HENNESSEY, WHO / DRIVES ™' COAL - WAGOR, HAS GOT HIM A NEM MULE France is asking again what the- Uunit- ed States will do for her along this line. [ It !s sald that all the democracies and near democracies of Europe want | a, guarantee in behalf of liberty to| enable_them to go ahead with their! i industrial work, to cut down military | | 4-stnbllshmeuts and to get a sense of | that freedom which will enable them to pursue the paths of peace und of | commerce without the daily fear of a black inroad upon their villages and | plains. The part of the Knox resolution | which was stricken out had nothing to do, of course, witl. a defensive alli- ance with any country, but it did go s0 far as to say that America would take measurcs to meet aoy situation which involved aggression by a mili- taristic and autocratic power which was threatening the peace of coun- tries which were minding their own themselves dem- ocratically.

The boy and the girl were having adventures and a good deal later on they hoped to reach the House. “You see” sdld the courler they | were now with, “there are several more roads along which you have to, travel and a number of hills,to be climbed before you come to the ‘House of Secrets.” “We saw It In the distance from the top of a mountain,” said the girl. “Th€ | witch showed us the room which e | were first going to visit. We looked through her great field glasses which can show things so far away.” “She showed us the door of the room,” said the boy. “It was an out- side room. I belieye most of the rooms are outside ones, aren’t they?” “Yes,” said the couvler. “But we mustn't find out too much about it now. I am going to take you along a little further. “You've .both been pretty good ad- venturers.

Bui here I'm talking when she should have some food.” He pulled off his knapsack and gave the girl an orange from it. Then he gave her a biscuit. “We'll all have a big meal shortly,” he sqid. “Perhaps it would be better, as long as you are so faint, to eat but a little at this time.” “I feel so much 'better,” sald the girl. “How silly it was of me! I will try to behave better. I am of no use on this trip.” “Of course you are,” sald the boy. “I might have done the same thing if T hadn’t had food.
