Good health is dependent on reg- ularity in: this important function; whenever there is the slightest indi- cation of constipation a mild laxative should be taken to relieve the conges- tion and dispose of the accumulated waste. Cathartics or purgatives should not be employed, however; these are too violent in action and their effect i is only temporary. A mild laxative such as the combi- nation of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, known as Dr. Caldwell's Sy- rup Pepsin, is the ideal remedy. It is gentle in its action, bringing relief in an easy, natural manner, without griping or other pain or discomfort, is pleasant to the taste, and can be obtained in any drug store. | Mr. Robert LeForgee, 918 Kirkwood | Boulevard, Davenport, Iowa, says he | has always had a bottle of Dr. Cald- | well’s Syrup of Pepsin in the house for the past eighteen years, and, that by | using it occasionally as the need arises, and in this way keeping his health Says Simple Remedy .

Only by the arbitrament of further battle, waged mercilessly on land and sea and in the air, can the conflict be brought to a termination now. Here are the Allies’ general peace .terms as outlined in their note made public last night: Full restoration of Belgium, Ser- bia and Montenegro and payment of indemnity to each. Evacuation of all occupied portions of France, Russia and Rumania and Jjust reparation to each. Restoration of Alsace-Lorrain | France. Virtual dismemberment of the Dual monarchy by the liberation of Ital- ians, Slavs, Rumanians and Bohem- ians from foreign domination. Restoration of Poland to Russia. to Expulsion of Turkey as a European i power. Guarantees, by a reorganization of the nations of Europe, against an- { other war which might threaten the i full security, libérty and economic , development of Europe. | Guarantees that hereafter interna- tional treaties will be respected. i Equitable compensation to be paid | the Entente powers for damage done | by the Central powers during the i war. Text of Note. The translation of the French text of the note of the Entente powers to the United States, as cabled by Am- | bassador Sharp at Paris, follows: The allied governments have re ceived the note which was delivered to them in the name of the govern- ment of the United States on the 19th of December, 1916. They have | studied it with the care imposed upon them by the exact realization which they have of the gravity of the hour and by the sincere friendship which attaches them to the American people. In general way they wish to de- | clare that they pay tribute to the | elevation of the sentiment with which the American note is inspired and that they associate themselves with {all their hopes with project for the creation of a league of nations to insure peace and justice throughout the world. They recognize all the advantages for the cause of hu- manity and civilization which the in- stitution of international agreements destined to avoid violent conflicts be- tween nations would prevent, agree- ments which must imply the sang- | tions necessary to insure their execu- ! tions and thus to prevent an apparent security from only facilitaing new ag- gressions. But a discussion of. future arrange- ments destined to insure an enduring peace presupposes a satisfactory set- tlement of the actual conflict. The Allies have as profound a desire as the government of the United States to terminate as soon as possible a war for which the Central empires are responsible and which inflicts such cruel sufferings upon humanity. But they believe that it is impossible at the present moment to attain a peace which will assure them repar- ation, restitution and such guaran- tees to which they are entitled by the aggression for which the respon- sibility. rests with the Central powers and of which the principle itself tended to ruin the security of FEu- rope—a peace which would on the other hand permit the establishment of the future of European nations on a solid basis. Tne allied nations are consclous that they are not fighting for selfish interests, but above all to safeguard the independence of peoples, of right and of humanity. The Allies are fully aware of the losses and suffering which the war causes to neutrals as well as to bel- ligerents and they deplore them, but they do not hold themselves respon- sible for themi, having in no way either willed or provoked this war, and they strive to reduce these dam- ages in the measure compatible with the inexorable exigencies of their de- fence against the violence and the wiles of the enemy.

They did not doubt, moreover, the resolution of . that government to avoid even the ap- pearance of a support, even moral, of the authors responsible for the war. The ailied governments believe that they must protest in the most friendly but in the most specific manner against the assimilation established in the American note between the two groups of belligerents. This assimila- | tion, baseq upon public declarations | by tha Central Powers, is in direct opposition to the evidénce, both as re- gards responsibility for the past and as concerng guarantees for the future; | President Wilson in mentioning it cer- | tainly had »c intention of associating | himself with it. It there is a Fistorical fact estab- lished at the present. datd it is. the wilful aggression of - Gernlany and Austria Hungary to insure their hege- mony over Europe #nd their economic; domination over the world. Germany proved by her declaration of war, by the immediate viclation of ' Belgium and Luxemburg and by her manner of conducting the war her simulating contempt for all principles of human- ity and all respect for small states; as | the conflict developed the attitude of {the Central Powers and their allies has been a continual defiance of hu- manity and civilization. { Is it necessary to recall the horrors { which accompanied the invasion of Belgium and of ferbia, the atrocious regime imposed upon the ccuntries, the massacre of hundreds of thousands of inoffensive Armenians, the barbaritles pLerpetrated against the populations of Syiia, the raids of Zeppeling on open towns, the destruc- tion by subwarines of passenger _steamers and ¢f merchantmen even junder neutizl flags, the cruel treat- ment inflicted upcn prisoners of war, the juridical 1aurder of Miss Cavell, of Captain Fryatt, the deportation and the reduction to slavery of civil popu- latians, ete.? The execution of such a series of crimes perpctuated without any regard for universal reprobation jfully explains to Precsident Wilson the protest of the Allies. They consider that the note which they sent to the United States in reply ito the German note will be a respanse to the questions put by the American government, and according to the exact words of the latter, constitute a public declaration as to the con- { ditions upan which the war could be terminated. President Wilson desires more. He desires that the belligerent powers openly affirm the objects which they seek by continuing the war. The Allies experience no difficulty in re- plying to ris request. Their objects in the war will nat be made known in detail with all the equitable com- rensation and indemnities for dam- ages suffered until the hour of nego- tiations. Basic Peace.

The intentions of .His Majesty, the Fr:peror of Russia regarding Poland have been clearly indicated in the ‘pro- clamation which he has just addressed to his armies, It goes without saying that if the Allies: wish to liberate urope from the brutal covetousness of Prussian militarism it never has been their de- sign, as has been alleged, to encom- pass'tlie extermination of the German peoples anG their political disappear- ance. That which they desire above all is to insure a peace principles of libérty and justice, upon the inviolable fidelity to international obligation witn which the Govern- ment of the United States has never ceased to be inspired. TUnited in the pursuits of this su- preme object, the Allies are deter- mined, individually and collectively, to act with all their power and to consent to all sacrifices to bring to a victorious close the conflict upon which they are convinced not . only their own safety and prosperity de- pend, but also the future of civiliza- tion itself. ‘ Separate Reply of Belgium. The translation of the Belgian note, which was handed to Ambassador Sharp with the Entente reply, fol- lows: 5 The government of the king, which has associated itself with the answer handed by the president of the French council to the American am- | bassador on behalf of all, is par- ticularly desirous of paying tribute to the sentiment of humanity which prompted the President of the United States to send his note to the bellig- erent powers and it highly esteems the friendship expressed for Belgilum through his kindly intermediation. It desires as much as Mr. Woodrow Wil- son to see the present war ended as | early as possible. But the president seems'to believe that the statesmen of the two oppos- ing camps pursue the same objects of war. The example of Belgium un- fortunately demonstrates that this is in no wise the fact. Belgium has never, like the Central powers, aimed at conquests. The barbarous fashion in which the German government has treated, and is still treating, the Bel- gian nation, does not permit the sup- position that Germany will preoccupy herself with guaranteeing in the fu- ture the rights of the weak nations which she has not ceased to trample under foot :since the war, let.loose by her, began to desolate Europe. On the other hand, the government of the king has noted with pleasure and to . with confidence the assurances that the United States is impatient to co- operate in the measures which will DOFEI008000000040006000603 i “Watch Your Step” i To all those that suffer terribly with sore, tired, aching feet, the least jar or misstep causes untold agony—but immediate relfef 18 at hand for there is one remedy that has never g~y failed to help sore feet.: No matter how long you! i have suffered, just get from \J any drug store a bottle of Minard’s reliable, creamy liniment and use @s directed—for instantly you will find that nothing is as effective for your poor, sore, tired, aching, per- spiring feet—and you will wonder at its 'magic.

Previous to the German ultimatum Belgium only aspired to live upon good terms with all her neighbors. | She practised with scrupulous loyal- ty toward each one of them the duties imposed by her neutrality. In the jsame manner she has been rewarded by Germany- for the contidence shé placed in her, through which, from ’one day to the other, without any { plausible reason, her neutrality was | violated, and-the chancellor of the | empire when announcing to the | Reichstag this violaton of right and of treaties was obliged to recognize the iniquity of such an act and pre- determine that it wquld be repaired. But the Germans, after the’ occupa- tion of Belgian territory, have dis- i played no better observance of the i rules of international law or the { stipulations of the Hague convention. They have by taxaton as heavy as it is arbitrary drained the resources of the country; they have intentionally ruined its industies, destroyed whole cities, put to death and imprisoned a considerable number of inhabitants. Sven now, while they are loudly pro- claiming their desire to ‘put an end to the horrors of war, they increase the rigors of the occupation by de- porting into servitude Belgian work- ers by the thousands.
