London, Dec. 7. - David Lloyd
George faced another herculean task
today. He was charged with the for
nation of a new ministry which
would. typify England's determine

single-mindedly to wage war to
finish.
It was agreed today that the stu

energy with which the former presi-
dent of the board of trade, chancellor
of exchequer, minister of munitions
and war secretary is endowed. He
faces a task which will call for utili-
cation in highest degree. of those tai
ents of Cancellation, organization and
leadership with which the Welsh So
icitor has made his rise into fame.
It was conceded the new cabinet
would also be a coalition ministry.
A oue-party ministry could not sur

majority in commons.
LIoyd-George's own ideals, which
animated him in precipitating the
cabinet crisis, were based on unfit

and of all politicians for one single
purpose of making England efficient

THE FARMER AND THE STRIKE

The Republicans have never been
able to regard the farmer as they do
other business men, or to treat the
farmers business as they do other hus-
mess. The whole legislative record
OF the party shows this; the line OF
argument used to the farmers by their
speakers and in their campaign liter
ature shows IT,
The latest and most remarkable in
stance OF this Is the preachment they
are now putting out that the settle

IT Is time TO MAKE
MEATHO-LAxEhE SYRUP
Anyone Can Make a Full Pint of
Laxative, Curative Cold and
Cough Medicine Cheaply at
Home.

Everybody is subject to colds and
coughs at this season. Be prepared
Have on hand full pint of Mentho-
Laxene syrup that checks and aborts
colds, relieves coughing and gradually
brings permanent relief: The full and
best benefits are derived if you begin
taking it at the very outset of a cold
or cough-because you can check or
abort the cold-and save many hours
of distress and perhaps ward off pneu-
monia and other serious results of a
neglected cold.
Mentho-L -Laxene is pure, contains no
opiates or narcotics. 1t is pleasant,
penetrating, healing and curative be-
yond any preparation you can buy
ready made. Full directions and guar
antee are with every bottle OF
Mentho-Laxene. 1t will more than
please you or The Blackburn Prod
ucts Co., Dayton, Ohio, will refund

Hundreds of thousands of bottles OF
Mentho-Laxene have been sold and
not over so people have wanted their
money back, That tells how good
it is.

pendent of an employe of the COM
pany. The mother refused to per-
init an operation which was urged
and had the man removed to another
hospital wheer an operation took
place. 1t is held that the refusal to
consent to an operation does not
amount to refusal of medical or
surgical aid and does not defeat right
to compensation, the decision saying
in one part: There is no obligation
on the part of the injured to submit
himself to an operation, the result of
which is so problematical that his life
is at stake"
In the second case, Christian Sims,
of Windber VS.. The Homer City Coal
and Coke Co., the deceased refused
an operation and insisted upon being
removed to another hospital, where
bone was transplanted. The question
was whether the man died as a direct
result of the original injury or be-
cause of his refusal to be operated
upon at the first hospital. Mackay
holds that the claimant is entitled to
compensation saying that there is mo
evidence to show but that the same
result would have followed an opera
ton earlier at the first hospital"

HOW TO HANDLE CELERY

Cultivate every week, for this
helps to make a quick growth and
helps crisp, tender celery. AS soon
as the celery Is IL to Is inches high
some way of bleaching should be pro-
vided. Paper, straw and boards are
good for bleaching early celery or
celery that Is ready for market before
the hardest frosts; then follow with
dirt for late or winter celery. Celery
that has had q good frost on 1t is
sweeter than that which has had no
frost.
1t takes 1000 feet of lumber for
each 1000 celery plants. The boards
are strung end to end on each side of
the row. Two men. one at each end
of board, slide the board under the
leaves and raise it up; then the one
on the other side is set up in the same
manner. Each man has some wire
hooks about six inches long and one
of these is put across each end on
the top of the two boards which holds
them in place.

muck as high as we can get 1t. says
G. e. Beckwith in Farm and Home.

Another method of keeping green
tomatoes Is to wrap each fruit sep

fully in boxes. Most of the larger
fruits will color up nicely, and while

very acceptable when there is moth

them until Thanksgiving in this way.
