Spring Remedies

This is tie time" the doctors
say, when people need our bit
tiers; the sunny, languid, vernal
day is hard on human critters.
They're always feeling tired and
stale, their blood is thick and
sluggish, and so they ought to
blow their kale for pills and po-
tions druggish.' And, being told
we're in plight, we swallow dope
in rivers, to get our kidneys act
ing right. and jack up rusty livers.
We pour down tea of sassafras, as
ordered by the sawboness and
chewing predigested grass, we
exercise our jawbones. We swal-
low pints of purple pills, and fool
with costly drenches, to drive
away imagined ills and pipe
dream aches and wrenches.
And if we'd only take the
spade and dig the fertile gum
bo, the ghost OF sickness would
be laid. and we'd be strong
as Jumbo. Of perfect health,
that precious boon, we'd have
refreshing glimpses, if we would
toll each afternoon out where the
jimpson jinpses. There's medi-
cine in azure skies, and sunshine
is a wonder; more cures are
wrought by exercise than by all
bottled thunder. So let's forsake
the closed-up room, and hoe
weeds and cockle-burrish, where
elderberry bushes bloom and
juniorberries flourish.

Paramount Issue in Parliament.

Home rule for Ireland is the para
mount issue in the British parliament
although the passage OF such a law
means loss to the aristocracy who have
ruled England and Ireland with most

land. but for Scotland and Wales. The
passage OF the home rule bill carries with

The attitude of Ulster Orangemen
toward home rule was not unexpected
At present the bulk of elective offices in

DECLARES HOME RULE
WILL WIN IN IRELAND
Francis ]. Kilkenny Charges North
ern Opposition to Political
Power.

That home rule is going to win in Ire
land and will result in the return of
many exiles who will help with capital
and industry to build up the country is
the opinion of Francis J. Kilkenny, origi-
nator of the Irish home-going move
ment," for sixteen years in the Office OF
the controller of the currency. Mr.. Kill
kenny is now in the banking business
In Chicago. but has written to friends
here interested in the home-going move
ment.
He says the opposition of the Orange
men to home rule is not because of any
religious prejudice but because they hold
the bulk of offices in the north of Ire
land and fear to lose their political
power and prestige. Mr.. Kilkenny s
message is in part as follows:
Home rule for Ireland is going to
win. Public sentiment Is in favor of 1t,
and that is what puts laws on the
statute books of all countries. The Irish
can now see the sunlight Of hope just
coming over the horizon.
Predicts Home-Going Movement: +
For centuries oppressive laws have
produced the misery and hardships en-
dured by the people of Ireland.
AS tne result OF such CONDITIONS, large
numbers of the flower Of her people were
forced to other lands amounting since
1871 to the number of 100000.
When Irelnad has it's own parliament
and enacts laws in accordance with the
wishes of its people, many of those exiles
will return and engage In business in the
land of their birth. 1 predict that once
home rule is an established fact great
'home-going OF back to ireland move
ment' will start. Sentiment. pleasure and
mutual benefit will stimulate thousands

WANT BOARD NAMED TO
STUDY D. c. RELATIONS
Connecticut Avenue Citizens to
Send Copies of Request to
Officials.

For the purpose Of making an exami-
nation of the relations between the Dis
trjct of Columbia and the federal gov
ernment with the idea of establishing a
permanent form of government in the
District. the Connecticut Avenue Citi-
zens' Association urges the appointment
of a board of survey. and will send
copies of its recommendations to Presir
dent Wilson, Vice President Marshall
and Speaker Clark of the House of
Representatives.
The action of the association in favor
of such board was decided upon at a
meeting of the executive committee held
recently, and was announced last night
at the regular meeting of the associa-
ton. In view OF the present disturbed
conditions seriously menacing the well
fare of the District" said the resolu-
ton. 1T is the sense of this association
that it is urgent that steps should be
taken by the federal government as
quickly as possible looking to the forma-
ton of a board of survey or similar
body to investigate conditions and re-
port to Congress plans for a permanent
form of government for the District of
Columbia. including the relation between
the District and federal governments.

1T is further urged that in the con-
stitution of the board the District of
Columbia should be given an equitable
representation thereon. also that one
or more of the members should be nom
residents of the District and recognized
authorities on municipal affairs.
The executive committee of the asso-
oiation also calls attention to the fact
that a board or commission of this char
deter has been advocated by several
members of Congress"
A resolution also was adopted by the
executive committee asking the Commits
sioners of the District of Columbia to
establish a standard for streets and side
walks, which must be conformed to be-
fore they accept subdivisions.
The regular business meeting of the
association was dispensed with to permit
the members and their friends to listen
to a lecture on the Panama canal by
Claude n. Bennett.

"London's Soul in Time of War" is
taken from a London paper received
here today:
II found the soul OF London near
Nelson's tomb in the crypt of ST.

son, who is on a British warship in
the North sea. I amt goin' to cry

of calm resignation reflected our
great city's soul. London is holding
herself in. Our minds are fixed on the
British fleet When we hear the
beating of the drums and see the
cleaning helmets and the colors
sweeping proudly by we raise our
hats. There is a cheer, of course,
but no mafficking. A wonderful new
spirit has come to town, a spirit
which buoys up and strengthens and
which silences the raucous roar of
those who shout but never fight. Lon
don was shaken in the beginning, but
she is firm once again.
