Paris.—The question of extending
the scope of the Wiesbaden repara-
tions agreement between Prance and
Germany, so as to make • Germany’s
payments in kind applicable to all the
allies, occupied a recent session of
the meeting of allied finance minis-
ters, who are here discussing the gen-
eral subject of German reparations.
The point at issue is the amount of
deliveries Germany should make to
France for the devastated regions,
some of the allies desiring to limit the
amount to material worth 900 million
gold marks, so as to leave part of Ger-
many's capacity for payments in kind
available for the other allies, Belgium,
Italy and Great Britain.
French concessions on payment for
the Saar coal mines out of the first
Tunis due her from Germany, it was
understood, may be compensated by a
slight increase in this amount. The
finance ministers were understood to
have agreed to limit the future de-
mands on Germany for the expenses
of military occupation to 220 million
gold marks annually.
According to this schedule, France
would receive 52 per cent of the pay-
ment and Great Britain 22 per cent.
The appraised value of the Saar Val-
ley coal mines, estimated at 300 mil-
lion gold marks, is charged against
France’s receipts.
A high allied authority said that
the American claim for $241,000,000
for the expenses of the American
forces in Germany was a matter for
the consideration of the reparations
commission, which is directly charged
with the collection and distribution
of Germany’s payments.
Thus far the commission has ac-
cepted modifications of the form of
payment suggested by the allied pow-
ers, and it is considered a foregone
conclusion that it will accept the de-
cisions of the financial ministers in
this series of sessions.
The American claim, however, may
modify ihe distribution of this year’s
payments.

Tanlac Makes Each Bite
a New Delight
\17TJEN your digestive system Is
VV working efficiently and smooth-
ly, extracting from your food abun-
dant stores of vital energy and piling
up a reserve force of vigor to meet
any emergency, every bite is eaten
with keen zest and appreciation.
If your meals are not a real event,
if you do not approach the table
organ and through ample secretion
of digestive fluids. It then promotes
energetic action of all the bowel
muscles and glands and enables the
food to pass through the digestive
canal in the normal time. Each of
the thousands of little glands whose
duty It is to pick up nourishment from
the food and send this to all parts
of the body are stimulated to
their utmost. The whole result
is that food is taken care of
without distress of any sort
In such manner as to derive
the utmost benefit from it.
If your appetite is not keen,
if your food seems to dis-
agree with you, if you are
underweight, nervous, irrrit-
able and lack energy, give
Tanlac the chance to show you
that it can work a miracle
STONES RAIN FROM CLOUDS
California Town Mystified When
Showers of Large, Smooth Rocks
Fall on Warehouse Roof.
Chico. Cal.— Showers of rocks that
fell "from the clouds” on a ware-
house here have baffled the police,
neighbors and various officials and
unofficial investigators.
Recently J. \V. Charge, owner of
the warehouse, posted the offer of a
reward of $200 to Ihe person reveal
ing the source of the rocks.
While the town marshal and a com j
mitteo of newspaper men and others |
were examining the corrugated iron I
roof a shower of large, smooth rocks I
fell, sending the investigators scurry
ing for cover.
Others, standing in the street at
the time, declared the rocks seemed
to come straight from the clouds.
Those employed in the building re-
ported tliut the mysterious bombard-
ments of the root had been occurring
periodically for three weeks.
Washington. — The American gov-
ernment lias declined the invitation
to participate in the international
economic and financial conference to
bo held in Genoa next month, on the
ground that Ihe conference is not pri-
marily an economic one, "but is rath-
er a conference of a political charac-
ter, in which the government of the
United States could not helpfully par-
ticipate.”
The refusal to enter the conference
was contained in a note from Secre-
tary Hughes to Ambassador Ricci of
Italy, who presented the invitation
on behalf of his government, which
in turn was acting for the allied am-
bassadors.
The note declared that while the
American people were desirous of
suitably assisting in the recovery of
the economic life of Europe, the
United States government could not
be unmindful of the "clear convic-
tion” of the people “that they should
not unnecessarily become involved in
European political questions.’’
The conviction also was expressed
that allied considerations of economic
revival would be futile without tire
establishment in Russia of the essen-
tial liases of production outlined in
the public declaration of the Ameri-
can government on March 25, 1921,
I and urged that "adequate action” to
that end ho taken on the part of
"those chiefly responsible for Rus-
sia's present economic disorders.”
It also was pointed out that the
American government believes noth-
ing should he done looking to the ob-
taining of economic advantages in
Russia which "would impair the just
opportunities of others.” Warning
was issued that “fair and equal eco-
| mimic opportunity” in Russia was ex-
I pected by the United States in the in-
j terest of Russia itself as well as that
j of all the powers.
I The note expressed hope that
progress would be made in preparing
the way for “the eventual discussion
and settlement of the fundamental
.economic and financial questions re-
lating to European recuperation
which press for solution.”

with the most lively anticipa-
tion of its delights, then you
are only half-living, because
you are only half getting the
value of your food.
Lack of appetite, or distress
from indulging the appetite, are
both due to tlie same cause—
failure of the digestive system
to properly do its important
work. The undigested iood
remaining in tiie alimentary
canal may merely cause n dis-
taste for more food when it cannot i in your condition as it has in so many
A tgf
take care of what it lias, or it may
tindergo chemical and putrification
changes that cause acute disease.
Besides, these chemical changes
produce poisonous substances that
are carried to every cell and organ
of tiie body and that cause all sorts
of distressing symptoms.
Tanlac, the famous digestive tonic
and body builder, has achieved its
wide success because it is able to in-
vigorate the entire digestive tract.
It acts to cause vigorous stomach
preparation of the food, both through
the muscular churning action of that
thousands of other cases.
If you are despondent, gloomy,
with little taste for and enjoyment
of life, try Tanlac and no doubt you
will see the clouds of gloom roll away
under the sunshine of health.
You are entitled to be healthy,
vigorous, efficient anil happy. Give
yourself the chance to become so as
thousands of others have, by taking
Tnnlac.
Get Tnnlac from your druggist this
very day. Why wait for tomorrow
when Tanlac—and health—await you
today?
