THE DAXLT CAP IT AIL JOURNAL Is the only newspaper in Salem whose circulation it guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations per hand in 191-1. During the first months of the war Erzberger was asked to recommend some points which uermany snouia inciuae in me treaty to be ottered the Allies when Fans had been taken." Here are a few of his suggestions: Fweimbursement of Germany for all war damages and all state debts, eighty per cent of which were due to army and navy expenses. Payment of a $1,000,000,000 pension fund by the Allies. Restoration of all commercial cables and stations com mandeered by the Allies following the outbreak of the war ' ' Payment of rewards to victorious generals for excep tional services. Payment of funds by the Allies to improve living conditions in Germany. A REAL SKY ROCKET. One reason why we should all fix our eyes earnestly upon the peace conference is that one good American ang the "Star Spangled Banner" so much during the war that even in his sleep he dreamed of the "rocket's red glare." and has finally perfected a rocket which has an altitude range of 70 miles and a distance range of 200. It is said to Jbe the most efficient rocket ever develop ed. No cannon is required to fire it any more than one of the Fourth of July kind, and it carries explosives enough to make iiig liertha look like a child s toy. It is high time we were done with war Yes, 70 miles is too high. Someone has said that it takes a woman to make- a man realize how small he really is.

Those who have the money to do so should come forward without solicitation and loan it to their government. ERZBERGER THEN-AND NOW. What a difference being the upper or under dog makes in the reasoning of some people. Today Mathias Erzberger, member of the German armistice commission, is declaring that there is a great danger of the Germans refusing the peace terms on the ground that they are un justly harsh and severe, in fact, he has expressed himself as opposed to accepting a peace such as the Paris confer ence is preparing. Without taking into consideration our own views as to what terms would be deserving for a nation that threw practically the entire civilized world into bloody warfare, it is interesting to review what Erzberger had in mind as peuce terms for the allies when Germany had the up- What s in a name?

Perhaps you will s;iy I am callous, a hard hearted fellow, indeed, on seeing me breaking a gallus to find something funny to read. But I am so tired of 1ho trenches, of charges and bugles and horns!

The years have been slow and distressing, the sad years of sorrow and wrong; to laugh is a joy and a blessing, when we have been solemn so long. The most of the warbooks are lemons, they're bloody and gloomy and vain; so hand me some stories by Clemens, who's known to the rabble as Twain. And even old Joshua Billings, or Artemus Charlie Brown Ward, are better than stories of killings, and corpses heaped up by the cord. I've wept till my Weeper is weary, I've sobbed till my sobber is sore; so lend me a book that is cheery, that isn't all sticky with gore. ('iuptku i.xxrn.

When the girl mopes sjtnd is indifferent to school and study, or the hey is sullen and refuses to go out and play; the child needs a laxative to empty the bowels nd stir up the liver. But something should be given that will produce the result in as simple and nat ural a way as possible. Harsh cathartics and physics are neither necessary nor de sirable. . Many mothers have found that the com . fcination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin told by druggists under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin produces free move ment of the bowels without griping. A very little is required, and it is pleasant to take. A few hours after its use the child will be its happy self again. It is an excellent remedy for the mother herself, and for the other members of the family, in obstinate or occasional consti pation, for the relief of headaches, as an aid in colds and fevers, minor skin eruptions and all disorders where the basis of the trouble is constipation. The druggist will, refund the money you pay for Syrup Pepsin if it fails to do as promised. " " m Dr. Caldwell'- 5YRUP The Perfect P EPSIN Laxative PRICE AS ALWAYS .
