1IKHI.1X, Jan. 1 1. Germany t"d:tv
handed neutral governments n note
concerning the reply of the entente
to Hie German )cuce proposals, the
Overseas XeWK agency nnmiunces.
It is first stated, says the news
iigene,-- niinonni'cmcm, iniil tne Her
man government had received tile re
ply of the entente to the note of De- i
ccnibcr 12 containing a proposition to
enter at once into ncace negotiations.
The note continues;
"Our adversaries declined this
nropositiou, giving ns the reason that
it is u proposition without sincerity
and without importance. The form
in which they close their communica
tion excludes an answer to them, hut
tho imperial government considers it
important lo point out to the govern
ments of neutnil powers its opinion
regarding the situation.
"The central powers have no rea
son to Ciller into any discussion re
gnrdinir the origin of the war. His
tory will juduc iiiioii whom this im
mense guilt of the war shall fall; his
tory's verdict will as little pass over
the encircling policy of England, the
revengeful policy of France nnd the
endeavor of Kussin to gain Constan
tinople as over the instigation of the
Serbian .assassination in Snrayevo
and the complete mobilization of Kus
sin, which meant war nguinst Ger

Appeal to Reason
'Ask any of tin' great army of Postum users what influenced, them to
try this beverage, and the reply nine times out of ten will be that they
were convinced the caffeine and tannin in tea and coffee were harmful to
health.
Some imagine it is hard to give up coffee and tea. Hut it isn't, with
the delightful aroma and flavor of Postum at hand. This flavor somewhat
resembles that of a high-grade Java coffee, but there is no coffee in Pos
tum only the nourishing goodness of wheat, skilfully processed with a
small per cent of wholesome molasses.
Postum comes in two forms: Postum Cereal, which has to be boiled;
Instant Postum solubh made in the cup, instantly. Some prefer one.
some the other. Made right, they are alike delicious, and the cost per cup
is about the same. There's better health, comfort and efficiency in
POSTUM
E
PLAN IN EFFECT
Since the passage of the Hanson
plan the city recorder and treasurer
have been kept busy answering in
quiries ns to when the plan will go
into effect, when the fifteen-day
period followed by a penalty for
noil-payment, will lie up, and a num
ber of other questions.
The mayor's proclamation an
nouncing the adoption of the plan
will bo made some time before Sat
urday. The canvass of the vote will
also be made some time before Sat
urday. Following these preliniinnnes, the
council will pass next Tuesday night
an ordinance putting the plan into ef
fect. However, immediate action ill
collection of assessments will not hv
possible.
The Hanson plan includes the con
solidation of the many funds in the
city's present system into a few com
pact accounts. This consolidation
must be mnde, transferred to new
books and a number of routine book
keeping changes mndo beforo the
city offices will be ready to receive
pavnient. .
Each property owner will receive
due notice before any penalty will be
put upon bis property.
Tho inquiries received indicate a
general desire on the part of those
ow in assessments to make their pay
ments, several offering to pay up
their paving debt in full.

"There's a Reason
BEFOR
Attendance at the poultry show
staged in the Ivoriuek building Is
very light, In spite oi tho largo ex
hibit of choice fowls and the conven
iences offered the visitor to the show.
During tho week tho show will re
main open evenings until 9 o'clock.
If better support is not given the
poultry association, it will he very
difficult to stage succeeding shows In
this city.
A movement was started this
mornlug to have the members of the
local and state association pass reso
lutions endorsing the stamping of
cold storage eggs, as such as fresh
eggs placed on tho market, are now
generally marked fresh. This move
ment comes as a result of the boycott
in many cities directed against the
storage egg.
Work of judging tho birds and
scoring tho local birds Is under
way.

ed to give tho famous model
opportunity to display her won
derful talent.
Tho play "Purity," which Is
the vehicle used by Miss Mun
son, is an appeal for clean
thinking people, there Is no ap
penl to the sensual. "Purity'"
takes for Its theme Saint Paul's
words, "To the clean there Is
nothing unclean." Its argu
ment is that immodesty exists
in manner of dress nnd not In
absence of garments.

What Is Uric Acid ?
' the cause op backache,
' rheumatism, gravel,
and sudden death.
Ever since the discovery of nric cii
In the blood by Scheele, in 1775, and
..a nffanf it. biut noon the bodr.
scientists and physioiaus have striven
. j .l . .... n.,l tlm hlrwl tf
this poison. Because of its over
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rueu
matiBin, gout, gravel, neuralgia and
Bciatica. It was Dr. Pierce who dis
covered a new agent, called "Amine,"
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this urlo acid from the sys
tein. "Anuric" has proved to bo 37
times more potent than lithux, and
consequently you need no longer fear
muscular or articular rheumatism or .
gout, or many other diseases which are
dependent on an accumulation of una
acid within the body. Send to Dr.
Pierce, of the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., (or
pamphlet on "Anuric," or send 10 oenta
for a trial package of " Amino Tablets."
If you feel that tired, worn-ont
feeling, backache, neuralgia, or if your,
sleep is disturbed by too frequent'
urination, go to your best drug st ore
and ask for Dr. Pierce's Anniic Tablets,
'ihey are put up in 50-cent packages.
Doctor Pierce's reputation is back of
this medicine and you know that his
''Golden Medical Discovery" for the
blood and his "Favorite Prescription"
for the ills of women have bad a splen
did reputation for the past fifty yeanj.
Doctor Pierce's Pellets are unequaled
