CABINET CRISIS IN BRITANNIA
VID LLOYD GEORGE
QUITS.


London, April 19.-The cabine
crisis on the recruiting problem Is
growing acute.
The ministers are unable to agree
on the question of CONSUMPTION and as
result. David Lloyd George, minister
Of munitions, is reported to have ten.
dered his resignation.
The report appears authentic, as Mr.
Lloyd George for the first time since
mis- acceptance of the munitions port.
folio, was not present during the de.
base in the House of Commons on tho
conscription.
A resolution demanding universal
compulsory military service was pre-
sGTted in the House of Lords by Lord
Miner. He repudiated the idea of be-
inS the spokesman of any party OF
group, saying that he presented the
motion with the greatest reluctance
and that he realized the inconvenience
which might be occasioned by public
dis rssion ~ such matter.
Ilc was led to present it, he ex-
riainod. because it was the eleventh
hour" and thehe was no other way
nut of the existing mass of difficult
ties In the gigantic struggle, he said,
it was necessary to obtain every man
possible.
The House of Lords agreed to the
motion of the Marquis of Crewe to ad-
journ on the ground that the cabinet
ministers were not i'm a position to
make a statement on the question of
compulsory service for all eligibles.
Lord Miner said the government, in
its obstinate resistance to the princi-
pie of equal service. was being driven
from trench to trench and it was per-
fectly evident the government would
soon be compelled to abandon its last
position.
1t is generally understood that Mr.
Lloyd George, Earl Kitchener and
Earl Kurzon are the members of the
cabinet who are most insistent for
general conscription. A. Bonar Law
finds himself in a very difficult posi-
ton. lie has been a lifelong support
err of universal service, but for the
considers the continuance of
the coalition government of vital inn
portance to the country. He has,
therefore, continued to support Pre-
mier Asquith, who declared when ii
vas decided TO force all single men
into the army, that he would go no
further in the direction of conscrip-
ton. With the exception of Earl Cur
zo;i, the unionist members of the cab
iret have followed Mr.. Law, but,
. Ould a majority of the unionists in
the house of Commons vote for con-
scr,ption resolution. Mr.. Law, as lead
or of the party necessarily would re-
sign his portfolio.

GREAT DEMAND FOR "RISQUE"
MOVIE FILMS.

The leading editorial of the May

question: Are Americans clean
minded or not?" and the editor tells
the following story:
"The president of one of the oldest
and largest motion picture companies
recently addressed an advertisement
to the $4,000 exhibitors, that is. the
alter owners, in various parts of the
United States. In effect he asked them
lhir question:
~, bat DO YOU want me to give yoL
clean pictures or smutty pictures?
AFTER several weeks this second
advertisements appeared:

swiftest iolts and biggest surprises Of

into the hands of children simple
tables showing the growing power of
savings which are kept invested 1t
isn't hard to demonstrate, for instance,
that by saving 81 year and keeping
it and it's accumulated interest at the
rate of 8 per cent invested the saver
will have:
Sl32l in ten years.
$22.66 in fifteen years.
$34.72 in twenty years.
Son on, until the total of the saving
of dollar year and the investment
and reinvestment of interest on the
savings, will rise, at the end of forty
Years, to $126.84--more than three
lines the amount actually set aside"

MILITIA is EXPENSIVE.

That the volunteer system Of mill
tary training has had rather discour-
aging results few will deny. Although
there are more than twenty million
men available for enlistment, the to-
tai strength of our organized militia
today Is 129,398. Last year, In spite
of the lessons of the European war,
the drill attendance in many states av-
eraged as low as sixteen per cent In
the interstate competitions arranged
by the war department only fourteen
states took part; only 400 enlisted
men took advantage of camps of in
struction; only one state, Washington,
was equipped as prescribed by the war
department; and target practice was
satisfactory In eight states only. Yet
a vast sum, totaling more than $780,
000,00 in twelve years, is being spent
on this militia by the federal govern
ment alone, independently Of state APP
preparations. These are said to be
some OF the facts pointed out by Geo.
Creel in an article on Military Train
ing for Our YOUTH" announced In the
May Century Magazine.

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its Natural
Color, Gloss and Attractiveness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luXuriant. Just a
few applications will prove a revela-
ton if your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get a
50-cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound at any drug store all
ready for use. This is the old time
recipe improved by the addition Of
other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it SO
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or sole brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared,
and after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,

Glass Of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sIulces Of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those Of US who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid
stomach, lame back, can, instead
both look and feel as fresh as daisy
always by washing the poisons and
toxins from the body with phosphated
hot water each morning
We should drink, before breakfast,
a glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
it to flush from the stomach, liver
kidneys and ten yards of bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the
entire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour fermentation, gases
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and
it Is said to be but little while until
the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate will cost very little at the
drug store, but is sufficient to make
anyone who is bothered with bilious
ness, constipation, stomach trouble or
rheumatism real enthusiast on the
subject of internal sanitation. Try
it and you are assured that you will
look better and feel better in every
way shortly.
