6 GERMANY SEES U.S. ATTACKING JAPAN Berlin Press Has Wild Ideas of America's World Policies By Associated Press Amsterdam, via London, April 9. Under the caption "The Biter Bit," Sunday's KoelnUche Volksveltung prints an article under a Berlin date which purports to explain America's plans in the Far East. It says: "The antagonism between America and Japan arose over China, but Wash ington proved craftier than Tokio and forced China to break with Germany by which action Japan, like Esau, was cheated of Its rights, as the firstborn. President Wilson realized the impor tance of Chinese and Japanese ques tions better than any of his predeces sors and adopted a strong policy In support of the prestige of the United States, a policy which also became antl-Qerman. "It would be wrong to attribute this policy to pro-Britishism. During the war President Wilson pursued an American policy above all, to which is ascribuble America's huge development in the production of armaments. Every child knows that no one in Germany ever thought of the possibility of a German-American war. President Wil son himself hardly seriously contem-. plated a German danger but did con template a Japanese danger. This is also fully understood in Tokio." The article says that on the sur face nothing Is more natural than America should equip a giant army and fleet. It continues: "They are not for use, however, in this war, during which they will prac tically not fire a shot, but for use aft erward against Japan. Thus our ene mies play with their own allies the game of 'the biter bit" with Japan act ing the leading part." Aflcock PLASTERS A T7l World's Greatest fc \ External Remedy.

I / Having / j SAYS HOT WATER j WASHES POISONS I \ FROM THE LIVER 1 Everyone should drink hot water fj with phosphate In it, before breakfast. I To feel as fine as the proverbial fiddle, we must keep the liver washed clean, almost every morning, to pre vent its spongo-like pores from clog ging with indigestible material, sour bile and poisonous toxins, says a no ted physician. If you get headaches, it's your liver. If you catch cold easily, it!a your liver. If you wake up with a bad taste, fur red tongue, nasty breath or stomach becomes rancid, It's your liver. Sallow skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes all denote liver uncleanliness. Your liver is the most important, also the most abused and neglected, organ of the body. Few know its function or how to release tho dammed-up body waste, bile and toxins. Most folks resort to violent calomel, which Is a dangerous, salivating chemical which can only be used occasionally because it accumulates in the tissues, also attacks the bones. Every man and woman, sick or well, should drink each morning be fore breakfast, a glass of hot water •with a teaspoonful of limestone phos phate in it, to wash from the liver and bowels the previous day's Indigestible material, the poisons, sour bile, and toxins: thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Limestone phosphate does not re strict the diet like calomel, because it •'an not salivate, for it is harmless and you can eat anything afterwards. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, and any pharmacist will sell you a quarter pound, which is sufficient for a demonstration of how hot water and limestone phosphato cleans, stimulates and freshens tho liver, keeping you feeling lit day In and day out. —Adv. The War will take men from the mines and still further curtail an output that is far below the demand. Present coal prices cannot be guaranteed for any length of time, so that instead of cheaper fuel, prices are likely to advance. It's wise to anticipate next Winter's coal needs now and lay in all the coal you can buy. H. M. Kelley & Co. Office, 1 North Third Yards, Tenth and State NOTICE Mrs. M. L. Robinson CHIROPODIST, 2d N.
