U-BOAT CONTROVERSY
DECISION POSTPONED
President and Cabinet Still Undecided
as to Steps to Be Taken.
Difficulty Ahead.

President Wilson and the Cabinet
again postponed decision on the course to
be pursued by the United States in the
submarine controversy with Germany
The Berlin foreign Office still finds no
reason for taking any official notice OF
the Channel liner Sussex, which is al
legged to have been damaged by a Ger
man torpedo, thus endangering the lives
OF American citizens. Practically all the
evidence that can be sent by cable has
already reached here, and the President
and Secretary Lansing are now waiting
upon the more detailed mail reports,
which should be on hand early next
week.
The opinion is rapidly gaining ground
in circles close to the administration that
Germanys denial Of responsibility will
make 1t very difficult for the President
to proceed with the case. Senator James
Hamilton Lewis. when seen at the State
Department yesterday, said:
las Germany denies all responsibility,
1t does not appear likely that anything
can be done by the United States govern
ment. This, at least, is the opinion most
freely expressed now"

TAKE CARE OF
YOUR LIVER
And 1t Will Take Care Of
Your Constipation.

The liver is supposed to furnish the
proper amount Of bile for the intestines.
This bile has two purposes-to help digest
IN the intestines that part of your food
which the stomach is not meant to digest
and to act as natures laxative and prevent
constipation.
1t is plain to be seen then that oils and
the ordinary laxatives which do not act on
the liver give only temporary relief. If
you want to get real and lasting results
you We got to take the remedy that acts on
the liver and causes it to furnish the bile
which in turn acts on the bowels. The
name Of this simple but sure home treat
ment is Natures Remedy-popularly
known as Mr. Tablets.
An Mr. Tablet taken at night before re-
firing will tone up the stomach, put your
liver to work and in the morning act
thoroughly, but without gripping, on the
bowels. Natures Remedy also relieves
rheumatism, acts benehcially on the kid
neys and purihes the blood.
No household should be without its box
Of Mr. Tablets-taken in time they will
break up colds and prevent much sickness
arising from disordered stomach or bowels.
Get 2Sc box Of Mr. Tablets and take
one to-night-you'll feel better in the
morning.
