Serious Results
MEDIATION BETWEEN
DISPUTANTS PENDING
Strained Relations Cause Panic on the
BOurse-War News Is Meagre.
Reports of the Death of
Enver Bey Are Denied


London February 1s.-Tension between
Roumania and Bulgaria over the Balkans
has become tenser. The plenipotentiaries
lave taken steps at Bucharest and Sofia
to loosen the lines of friction and an
offer of mediation between the dsputants
is pending.
Roumania's 5 latest proposal is that Bul-
gara should eede to her the Black sea
coast as far as Cape Kaliallra, as we'll
as the town of BaltehilS and in this case
Roumania would forego her demand for
the Bulgarian town of silistria, which
the Bulgarians resolutely refuse to
give up.
Bulgaria objects to the scheme becauss
she declares the fortilications on Cape
Kaliakra would menace the Bulgarian
port of Vama. but the powers anticipate
that a settlement will be brought nearer
by the latest Developments.
Feeling Hopeful
The feeling of diplomats today Is more
hopeful in regard to the Austro- Russian
difficulties The latest Russian proposal.
1t is understood does not insist that the
Turkish fortress of Scutari should be
handed over to Montenegro, and If Aus
tria-Hungary is able to secure Seutari
for Albania 1t is thought that COM
promise may be effected in regard to
the other points. The ambassadors here
anticipate they win be able to report
favorable progress at their next meeting
on Thursday.

IF PAST FIFTY

What glasses are to weak eyes
Cascarets are to weak
bowels.
Get a 10-cent box now.

Get a 10-cent box now.
Most old people must give to
the bowels some regular help, else
they suffer from constipation.
The condition is perfectly natural.
1t is just as natural as it is for
old people to walk slowly. For
age is never SO active as yQ;Sth.
The muscles are less elastic. And
the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascar-
rets. One might as well refuse
to aid weak eyes with glasses as
to neglect this gentle aid to weak
bowels. The bowels must be
kept active. This is important at
all ages. but never so much as at
fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh
physics. Youth may occasionally
whip the bowels into activity. But
q lash can't be used every day.
What the bowels of the old need
IL gentle and natural tonic. One
that can be constantly used with
out harm. The only such tonic
Is Cascarets, and they cost only
10 cents per box at any drug
store. They work while you
sleep.

There will be no firemen's ball

What's the reason for all this
row in Ireland?
One hundred years ago they
were hanging men for wearing the
green, SO the old song ran, be-
cause they wanted to rule them
selves.
Now, the wearers Of the orange
are reported to be raising five
million dollar defense funds, drill
ing an army of 100, 900 men, max
ing rebels of themselves, in brief,
TO RESIST THE IMPOSITION
OF HOME RULE!
What can all this mean?
Ireland, ruled by the English,
gave the world the strange specta-
Gle Of nation of 5000, 900 people
dwindling to little more than
100000 during the course of a
century that spelled progress and
improvement for every nation in
the world.
A home rule bill has twice
passed the house of commons and
though voted down each time in
the house of lords will only have
TO be passed once more before
May o, 1914, to overcome the
lords veto and become the law of
the empire without the aristo-
Gratis consent.
The parliament act of 1911.
which forever destroyed the pow
er OF the lords to hold up meas
lres Of reform from the house of
commons, provides that any bill
passing the house three times I'm
two years becomes q law. This
made It possible to get home
rule bill.
The situation today is this:
The nationalist party of ireland
is unit for home rule. The ma
tionalist party has S4 of the 102
Irish members Of parliament. The
other 10 members from Ireland
are unionists and are opposed to
home rule. They represent con-
stituencies of practically one prov
ince and of six of the 10 counties
of that province--lJIster These
have population of about 1,400,-
600. Outside Ulster. Ireland has
about 5000, 200 people. The vot-
Ing in Ulster has found the union
lists and the nationalists fighting
neck and neck for the majority,
frat one, then another securing
the upper hand. At present the
nationalists have majority Of
one IN the Ulster representation in
the house OF commons.
Now, what are these two par
ties and what do they Represent

TACOMA DRUGGIST
DESERVES PRAISE

The French Drug Co., 1855
Pacific Ave, deserves praise from
Tacoma people for introducing
here the simple buckthorn bark
and glycerine mixture, known as
Adler-i-ka. This simple German
remedy first became famous by
curing appendicitis and It has
now been discovered that JUST

pie, despite their small numbers.
They oppose home rule on the
ground that it will hurt ireland
financially. They point out the
fact that large part of the pros.
perity of Ireland today--and Ire.
land is one of the most prosperous
sections of the globe today--is
due to the credit and financial as
sistance obtained from the treas
ury Of the empire through the
imperial parliament in London.
They claim, with much justice,
that the taxpayers Of Ireland, al
ready bearing heavy burden,
cannot expect to be able to carry
on the government IN the way Il
has been carried on.
Lastly, they claim that home
rule is but step toward national
independence and they do not
want national independence. They
do not want Free ireland. They
believe that the best interests OF
Ireland lie in being q closely knit
part of the United Kingdom.
And that is what they are fight
ing for. That is why they are
raising large sums Of money and
armies.
That is the situation in q nut
shell.

have British domination and fnfItl-
ence in all their doings-even II

ity in Ireland, it has been able to
dictate legislation for that great
island.
The unionist party is made UP
of practically all the people in
Ireland who do not belong to the
nationalists. Sir Edward Carson
is the leader of the unionists in
parliament, and Belfast is the
stronghold of the party. Belfast
ranks fourth among the cities of
England, Scotland and Ireland in
imports and exports and carries
on tremendous business.
Situated in the north of ire
land, Ulster Is the section that was
settled by King James with men
from Scotland-the famous Sotch-
Irish that have given SO many
great men to American history. 1t
is different from the remainder Of
Ireland I'm many ways. Ulster
never felt the effects Of the iniqui-
tous land laws, the educational
laws and absentee landlOrdism as
did the remainder of Ireland.
There were none of those terrible
evictiOns in Ulster. The tenants
had right to set up claims Of
their OWNS they never had in
the rest OF Ireland. This right
universally known as the Ulster
Right--relieved the people Of
much of the hardships and 0ppres-

MAGNUSON CASE
TO BE RETIRED

The supreme court Saturday re-
versed the Pierce county court,
setting aside the verdict of $780,
033 damages secured by Mrs.
Magnuson against Bishop O'Dea
and prominent local Catholic
priests and sisters who were
charged with kidnapping her
daughter, Marjorie Rieman, and
instituting malicious prosecu-
lions against the mother.
The court says the bishop can
not be held at all, and that the
verdict is excessive against the
rest. The bishop is discharged
entirely, and new trial granted
to the rest of the defendants.

1t is inconceivable in this day of gen.

such a remedy in time a serious dis

For example, if at the first sign or
cold a simple laxative-tonic like Dr.

beginning of serious lung affection
or of a typhoid fever might be avoided.
And also in headaches, nervousness, etc,
a small dose OF this remedy would re-

of this food value, They look on Salmon
more as side dish or relish than as u

belief that it is d white fish of the hall

all that there is to make any difference.
