Teuton Cabinet

Puppets of Army
(Continued from Imte One.)
is being prepared. Thus it says, unity
between the people and the govern
ment will be realized.
The above dispatch does not reveal
the identity of the ministers who re
signed. Foreign Minister Zimmer-
mann and Vice Chancellor HelfferUh
have been mentioned most often dur
ing the last few days as the ministers
who would lose their portfolios.
Pause In Development.
Copenhagen, July 11. The dis
patches from Berlin this morning in
dicated a pause in the development of
the political crisis while the parties
are waiting for the decision of the
crown in regard to a ministerial re
organization and the question of
peace terms. The parties have
reached no agreement in regard to
the resolution which it is proposed to
place before the reichstag in regard
to war aims.
With little news of ( political affairs
on hand the Berlin papers speculate
on the outcome, each according to its
desires. The conservative, national
liberal and pan-German organs as
sume that the chancellor will surely
go. The radical and, center papers
expect him to remain, but lo jettison
various ministers.
Crop Prospect Below Average.
At the Reichstag session yesterday
Herr ven Batocki, the food conti oiler,
declared that the fruit and vegetable
harvest was far below the average,
Berlin newspapers report. The out
look for grain production was char
acterized as being "as good as in
1915," which will be remembered as a
year of great drouth and a miserable
grain harvest and potato crop. The
yield, the controller said would be
"surely better than the serious crop
failure of 1916."
Gusta Hocht, socialist member of
the Reichstag, spoke of disorders in
the Prussian town of Striegau, which
have not been mentioned previously.
He said they were due to the fact that
Striegaj had been almost an entire
week without bread. Women who
thus had been driven to desperation
were punished most severely, some of
them being condemned to serve many
months in prison.
Stresemann Opens Debate,
The debate in the Reichstag main
committee yesterday, according to re
ports received here, was opened by
Dr. Stresemann, national liberal, with
a sharp attack on Chancellor von
Bethmann-Hollweg's policy, particu
larly that of foreign affairs, which he
characterized as being based on
definite program.
The chancellor retorted by saying
he was forced to look to all sides for
support because the Reichstag offered
him no stable majority. Give him
this and he would be able to develop
a program, he said.
The Vossische Zeitung adds that
the chancellor expressed readiness
and willingness to carry througlunec
essary internal reforms.
Probable Joint Declaration.
Afternoon papers yesterday gen
erally assumed that an agreement of
all parties except conservatives and
extreme socialists had been reached
by a joint declaration to the Reich
stag on peace terms and internal re
forms. This, it is said, would contain a
reiteraition aof the chancellor's an
nouncement of August, 1914, that
Germany's purpose in the war was
not conquest, but defense and inde
pendence of territorial integrity, ex
pressing a readiness to conclude
peace on that basis, with a provision
rejecting all designs aiming at an
economic boycott and continuance of
international hostility after the war.
Hollweg Still in Power.
Copenhagen, July 10. According to
the Tageblatt, the crown council held
in Berlin last evening showed that
the imperial chancellor, Dr. von Betli-mann-Hollweg,
possesses the em-'
peror's complete confidence. The em
peror after the adjournment of the
council conferred with the chancellor
until midnight.
Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg's posi
tion, the paper adds, seems also to be
more secure with the political parties
The radicals are said to be standing
by the chancellor, while the center
socialists attach no importance to a
mere change of persons and not of
system. Political circles believe that
the matter will end in a compromise.
Promise of Suffrage Reform.
Copenhagen, July 11. The social
ist organ, Vorwaerts, just received
here, prints positive reports that the
Prussian government has decided to
introduce a bill in the Diet .or uni
versal equal suffrage this autumn
without waiting for peace.
Two Ministers Retire.
Copenhagen, July 10. (Delayed.)
The retirement of Ministers Helf
ferich and Zimmermann will be ga
zetted Tuesday, according to a Ber
lin dispatch to the Cologne Gazette.
Count von Bernstorff, former
German ambassador at Washington,
is mentioned as a candidate to suc
ceed Foreign Minister Zimmer
man)
Fifty Bushels of Wheat
To Acre in One Kansas Field
Valley Center, Kan., July 11. Two
hundred acres of wheat on the Oren
Smith farm here, now being threshed,
are averaging fifty bushels of high
grade wheat to the acre. Farmers
say this is a Kansas record. Seven
measured acres yielded sixty-eight
bushels to the acre.
Bar Silver Rrses to New
High Record for the War
New York, July 11. Bar silver went
to 80 cents an ounce here today, half
a cent above yesterday's new high rec
ord since the war and for many
years before. Heavy coinage demand
by European countries is believed as
the cause.
Uric Acid '
Eradicated
(By DR. N. C. COOK.)
A poison as dangerous as strychnin
is manufactured within our own body,
called uric acid. When it accumulates
in the body and the kidneys fail to
carry it off, we suffer from dull head
ache, sleeplessness, muscular pains,
lumbago, oA.it may cause rheumatism
or gout. The uric acid can be seen in
the cloudy sediment in the water
what is called the "brick-dust," noted
on the sides of the vessel containing
it after a few hours, standing. The
water is scant, high colored, strongly
acid, and this should be a danger sign
and if not taken in time, by cutting
out the meat, tea and alcohol, may
end in rheumatism or gout.
Drink plenty of water between
mealsi a pint of hot water half an
hour before meals and take Anuric
(double strength). This was first dis
covered by Dr. Pierce, of the Surgical
Institute in Buffalo, N. Y., and is
harmless to the system, but sure and
effective in carrying off the uric
acid. It stimulates the kidneys and
helps them to carry off the uric acid
poison. Anuric can be obtained at al
most any drug store, and helps to
counteract the acidity of the system.
A blockade in the intestines piles a
heavy burden upon the liver. If the
intestines are choked or clogged up,
the circulation of the blood becomes
poisoned and the system becomes
loaded with toxic waste, and we suf-
rer irom headache, yellow-coated
tongue, bad taste in mouth, nausea,
or gas, acid dyspepsia, lamruor. de
bility, (yellow skin or eyes. At such
times one should take a pleasant laxa
tive. Such a one is made of the May
apple, leaves of aloe and root of
jalap, first extracted and put into
ready-to-use form by Dr. Pierce,
nearly fifty years ago, and sold by all
druggists as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. Advertisement.

0!d Silver Medal Found
In Tripp County, S. D.
Sioux Falls, S. D., July 11. (Spe
cial.) While plowing in a field on his
farai in Tripp county, Dirk Williams
unearthed an interesting and valuable
relic, in the form of an ancient medal.
The medal bears the date of 1826, and
has engraved upon it the likeness of
Andrew Jackson, and the words "An
drew Jactf son, President of the United
States."
Other inscriptions on the medal in
dicate that it had represented a peace
treaty entered into with some of the
Indian tribes of those early days in
the history of the nation.
The medal was badly tarnished by
its long sojourn in the earth. It evi
dently was lost by the Indian tc
whom it had been granted.

usually handles only one.
