Over fifty years ago a young
physician practiced widely in a
rural district and became famous
for his uniform succesf in the
curing ?f disease. This Was Dr.
Pierce, who afterwards Estab
lished himself in Buffalo. N. Y.,
and placed one of his prescriptions,
whkh he called "Golden Medical
Discovery," in the drqg stores of
he United States so tliat the pub
lie could easily obtain this very
rpnarkable tonic, corrective and
wood-maker. Dr. Pierce manu
factured this "Discovery" from
roots and barks —a corrective
remedy, the ingredients of which
nature had put in the fields and
forests, for keeping us healthy.
Few folks or families now living
have not at sometime or other used
this "Golden Medical Discovery"
for the stomach, liver and heart.
Over twenty-four million bottles
of this tonic and blood remedy
have been sold in this country.

Russian Reds, Whipped in
Field, .Agree to Armistfc
With the Poles.
SUBMIT TO ILL DEMANDS
Soviet Force* May Concentrate Against
Wrangel—Peace in Ireland Nearpr
—Some Late Developments In ,
Our Presidential Campaign.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
Thoroughly whipped by the Poles,
the Russian Bolshevlkl have signed an
armistice with their opponents, and on
October 14 hostilities are supposed to
cease. The full terms agreed upon at
Riga have not yet been given to the
public, but enough has been told to
show that Poland has won virtually
all her contentions. M. Joffe, head of
the Russian delegation, was In no po
tion to rjfuse anything within rea
son, and Indeed he fiad been Instruct
ed to accept almost any terms the
Poles might offer.
The western boundary line of soviet
Russia was the main matter under
dlseusslon, and this was settled entlre-
Iv In fnvor of the Poles, according to
reports from Riga. | The line Is placed
so far east that Lithuania Is cut off en
tirely from Russia, and Poland is
given a corridor those two
countries. The boundary agreed upon
begins east of Dvlnsk. runs south
through Baranovltchl. Lunlnlets and
Rnrny. and virtually along the German
line of 101R to the Roumanian frontier.
The Poles have asserted repeatedly
that the Lithuanians have been fight
ing alongside the Russians. nnd this
boundary settlement should, therefore,
go far In bringing about a peaceful
agreement between Poland and Lithu
ania ; when that Is accomplished the
Poles will be free to turn their atten
tion to the establishment of their own
government'and the .development of
their country. They have agreed to be
neutral In the Ukraine, where the so
viet and Petlura forces are fl eh ting,
and Russia nil claims to east
ern Gallcla.
It Is asserted by some correspond
ents that Dorohskl, head of the Polish
mission at Riga, was moved, to hurry
up The agreement with the Russians
by the admonitions of the British am
bassador In Warsaw and also by the
movementij of his political opponent.
Prince Snpiehs. In addition, any these
correspondents, the liberal Dombskl
element In Poland, Is somewhat
slnrmed by the successes of Baron
Wrnncel In southern Russia: consider
ing that the restoration of the old
Russian empire, would constitute a
great danger to Poland. Many experts
believe that a Ruaso-Pollsh peace will
result In the crushing of Wranirel and
bis armies. It Is taken for granted
that the soviet government will nt
once concentrate Its efforts on the
Crimean front.
However. Wrangel has been making
such progress In his campaign that his
chances st'll seem good. In his ad
vance northward he has taken many
thousands of prisoners and vast quan
tities of material, and his forces also
pushed along the coast of the Sea of
Ar.ov northeastward toward Important
cities on the lower Don. Kafly In the
week It was enld that Mnkno. the
Ukraine Insurcent leader, had formed
a Junction wkh Wrangel"* troop* and
In a flvtng rnld had seized'- Kharkov.
Later a wireless dispatch fr«®i Mos
cow nsserted that Makno had Joined
the Bolshevik! and had been given a
commend asalnst Wrangel. It was
said his. shift was due to the refusal
of his troops to fight against the Bol
shcvfkl. Makno's past history inclines
one to donbt the truth of this report.
According to a Copenhagen newspa
per, General Weygaud. who ssaMed
the Poles, has gone to Bouth Russia
to take supreme command of the anti
soviet armies there. »" v

If It were not for tiie people of Cali

this support, and It may send a depu
tation to Lloyd George this week. The
ftrat step In the plan Is the creation of
a constituent assembly In Ireland In
which Ulater will be represented.
President Wilson got Into the presi
dential campaign at the beginning of
the week wjth a long letter addressed
to his fellow citizens, urging them to
place the seal of their approval of the
League of Nations covenant by their
votes at the polls In November. He
said: 'The chief question that Is put
to you is, of course, this: Do you want
your country's honor vindicated and
the treaty of Versailles ratified? Do
you in particular approve of the
League of Nations as organized and
empowered In that treaty? And do
you wish to see the Dnlted States play
its responsible part In It?"
He said the opponents of the league
had mislead the voters and bad dis
played gross Ignorance and Impudent
audacltv In their "attempt to Indent an
'Americanism' of their own, which has
no foundation whatever In any of the
authentic traditions of the govern
ment.". •
Following this lead, Governor Cox
and Franklin 'Roosevelt In their cam
paign speeches are now making the
League of Nations the great Issue and
are devoting to It most of their argu
ments. Homer S. Cummlngs, former
Democratic national chairman, alsp
has been called on and will speak for
the league In Ohio. Kansas, Indiana,
Kentucky, New Mexico and California.
Senator. Harding abandoned bis
porch again for a quick speaking tour
through part of the Middle West, and
In his address at Des Moines he ac
cepted the direct issue of ratifying or
rejecting the League of Nations cov
enant. He declared flatly he would
favor staying out of the league as
formed at Versailles; he said be want
ed ncr'acceptance of the league with
or without reservations to clarify
America's obligations, and that ,he
thought the proper thing to do was to
reject the covenant altogether. As for
what he does favor doing In the yay
of an association of nations, he said:
"I shall not risk embarrassing the
Anal solution of a problem so mo
mentous by undertaking to lay down
In advance specific details or plans. As
soon as possible after my election I
shall advise with the best minds in the
United States and especially I shall
consult In advance with the senate,
with whom, by the terms of the Con
stitution, I shall indeed be bound to
•counsel and without whose consent no
such Intetnatlortal 1 association can be
formed. I shall do .this to the end
that we shall have an association of
nations for the promotion of interna
tional peace, but one wtfich shall defi
nitely safeguard'our sovereignty and
recognize our ultimate and unmort
gaged freedom of action."
An acrimonious controversy has
arisen between President Wilson and
Senator Spencer of Missouri. The lat
ter, In campaign speeches, asserted
that the President during the peace
conference promised Roumanla and
Berbla that If needed the American
army and navy would be seht to their
aid. This charge Mr. Wilson branded
as absolutely false. The Senator re
torted that the alleged promise was to
