BILIOUS, HEADACHY,
SICK ''CASCARETS'
Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while
you sleep.
Get a 10-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi-
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath-always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in
testines, instead Of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into tho
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing sick
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. Adv.

KING REMOVES POMP
BRITISH RULER OPENS PARLlA-
MENT IN KHAKI.
Declares Threats Only Serve to Steel
Determination" - Germanys
Peace Offer Impossible.

London, Feb. S.-King George in
opening parliament said that the re-
spOnse of the allies to the invitation
of the president of the United States
outlined their aims as far as could be
done at present. The king added:
Threats of further OutrageS upon
public order and the common right OF
humanity serve to steel our determina-
ton"
The opening of parliament, always
picturesque, was shOrn of much of its
color and pomp. The peers wore none
of the customary robes and regalia.
The king was clad in a khaki uniform
and all the lords and members Of the
house of commons who are entitled
to wear either khaki or navy blue fol
lowed the example Of the monarch.
There were other innovations in
keeping with the time Of war. The
imperial escort consisted of officers
of the overseas fighting force. The
royal gallery in the house of lords
was set apart for wounded soldiers.
For the first time in the history of
parliament the importance of the for
eign press was recognized by the al
lOtment of seats in the press gallery
to correspondents from allied and neu-
tral countries.
The weather was clear and crisp and
as the royal procession passed from
Buckingham palace to the house Of
parliament crowds lined the streets.

ENGLAND is NOT AFFECTED
Blockade Not To Be Felt for Two
Months at Least, Say Members of
British Cabinet.

London.-While Germany's subma'
rines continued to peck away at Brit
ish and neutral shipping on the high
seas, officialdom of Great Britain re-
mained confident Cabinet officers an
nounced that the German submarine
blockade, if successful, can not be Sc
riously felt in the British Isles for two
months, because the nation has a sur.
plus food for that period stored up
And every man in British officialdom
is confident that before two months
have passed the Kaiser will be con.
vinced that his sea terror compaign is
a failure. Careful investigation by a
food commission has shown that Great
Britain must receive from other lands
or her colonies 1,375,OOO tons of food
each month if she is to keep her arm
les in the field and the folks at home
fed. This is a total of 16,5OO,O00 tons
of foodstuffs year.
Against these figures officialdom
placed the total sinkings of ships by
German submarines since February l
less than 100000 tonnage up until now.

AvIATORS NEEDED BY U. S.

Paris.-The possibility of the ap-
pearance of American naval vessels in
European waters to protect American
shipping from submarines is discussed
here, and it is pointed out that tor.
pedo boats, destroyers or other craft
assigned to this task would require
the cooperation of hydro-airplanes as
scouts to locate the underwater boats.
The efficacy Of this style of hunting
submarines has been demonstrated.

ette corps of American aviators, in the
service of the French army, according
to the Paris Herald, has received
many letters from volunteers in train.

who have been holding their vessels
in port because of inability to obtain
guns for defense against submarines

tions were given in official quarters

actually arm merchant craft or even
formally advise arming, way will be
found to put weapons at the disposal
Of owners who desire to prepare for
defense against illegal attack. The
enforced idleness of the American

the decisions had been finally reached
and the text of the note and the men,
orandum were ready, and even maps
Of the prohibited zone had been pre-.
pared for the use of the German news
papers.
The Ambassador and the American
government, therefore, were faced
with the announcement Of a fact ac'
complished when, on the afternoon OF
January 81, DR.. Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg, Imperial Chancellor, promulgat-
ed in the Reichstag Committee the
news that a relentless submarine cam
paign would begin Immediately, and
read to the committee the text of the
memorandum on the prohibited zone,
and the note to the United States
documents which reached the Ameri-
can Embassy several hours later.
There was, therefore, no opportunity
or an occasion, as in the days of the
Sussex trouble, for any negotiations to
prevent the crisis or an attempt to
stave off the coming break between
the two countries. There was no
chance this time for discussion with
the Chancellor or an interview with
the Emperor, such as served to save
the day at the time of the Sussex note.
Nothing could be done except to re.
port to Washington the developments
which appeared in the press of the
world before the Emperor dispatches
had started from Berlin and await the
anticipated explosion.
This comes in the shape of rup
ture of relations earlier than even
Americans had expected and certainly
with promptness which astonished
and perhaps even dismayed, the Ger
man official world, prepared though il
was for energetic American action by
reason OF the definite warnings in the
the Sussex correspondence.

MODIFICATION OF PLANS
OF GERMANY IS EVIDENT

the grand Austro-German conference
at German headquarters on the Ger
man Emperor's birthday, though cor
heard the statement that
submarines, departing several days
earlier for stations on the submarine
hunting grounds, were provided with
contingent orders for this eventuality.
The censorship, however, shut down
tightly on any definite statements or
predictions Of the approaching crisis.
1t then was reported from usually re-
liable sources that 1t was desired for
marine and technical reasons to have
the decision come as a surprise. This
intimation was conveyed confidential
ly to the German newspapers.
Dispatches Are Suppressed.
All dispatches going into the subject
in detail, however, were either sup
pressed entirely or references to COM
ing events censored out of them, and
the only resource was to use again
and again the word blockade" in dis
cussions Of submarine possibilities.
Ambassador Gerard, of course, also
was aware of the current gossip and
probably was able to advise the state
department of the possible turn in
events, even while the echoes of his
banquet speech were still resounding.
But he was given no intimation from
official sources.
Foreign office officials avoided the
subject in conversations with him, and
even at his interview with Foreign
Minister Zimmerman, the day before
the Chancellors official announce
ment in the Reichstag Of a ruthless
submarine campaign, Herr thinner
mann gave him no definite statement
on the morrow's proceedings, although

SWISS ARE CONFIDENT
That Germany Will Protect the Inter-
ests of NeutraIs-Energetic Pro-
test Against Submarines Voiced.

Paris.-The Swiss Federal Council,
in its reply to the German note on the
new submarine campaign, enters an
energetic protest against the an
nounced blockade and reserves all the
rights Of Switzerland as a neutral, ac-
cording to the Havas Agency's Berne
correspondent.
1t expresses confidence, however,
that the German Government will take
all necessary measures to assure the
protection of Swiss interests.
After referring to the German Gov
ernments communication upon the
augmentation of maritime warfare.
the Berne advice states, the Council
declares that the Imperial Govern
ment can not fail to recognize that
the measures announced by this men,
DIR constitute an attack upon the right
of peaceful commerce which in con-
formity to principles Of international
law belongs in equality to the Swiss.

COME TO AGREEMENT
SWITCHMEN GET EIGHT-HoUR
DAY AND OVERTIME.
Az Danger of Great Rail Strike Over
considerable Bitterness Shown
at Conference.

Chicago, Feb 10.-The switchmen
connected with the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen will not strike.
After conference which lasted late
into the night, representatives of both
sides announced that all differences
had been settled and the railroad
managers had conceded the points de-
manded by the Switchmen. The four
grievances presented by the union
men were adjusted in the first hour
Of the conference, but the union Off
cialS added the eight-hOur day and the
time and half for overtime demands
TO the claims already submitted.
The committee from the Managers
association protested that they had
no formal notice of the wage and time
demands and the union officials with
drew their demands just before the
meeting adjourned.
Everything has been adjusted"
said james MurdOck, vice president
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men. I'VE told the managers how
much We desired the eight-hour day
and time and half for overtime, but
We did not force our demands. The
strike vote is now nullitied. Ask Mr..
Hannauer for the details"
1--WE have reached Il satisfactory
agreement with the men," said George
Hannauer, chairman of the managers
committee.
"The danger of strike is passed. -
Dispatches from New York stated
that in case of general strike the
government was ready to take over
the management Of all the railroads
involved. This plan would not have
been opposed by the rail chiefs, ac-
cording to New York and Washington
messages.
Considerable bitterness was mani
fest in the conference, the railroad
managers charging the yardmen with
SeiZing on the international political
crisis as an added leverage in their de-
mandS.

WHAT A JEWELRY firm DID
They Invested Some of Their
Spare Money in Canadian
Lands.

s. Joseph & Sons, Of Des Moines,
Iowa, are looked upon as being shreWd,
careful business men. Having some
spare money on hand, and looking for
a suitable investment, they decided to
purchase Canadian lands, and farm 1t.
With the assistance of the Canadian
Government Agent, at Des Moines,
Iowa, they made selection near Cham
pion, Alberta. They put 24O acres of
land in wheat, and in writing to Mr..
Hewitt, the Canadian Government
Agent at Des MOines, one Of the MEM
bers of the firm says:
II have much pleasure in advising
you that on our farm five miles east
Of Champion, in the Province of AL
berta, Canada, this year (1916 we har-
vested and threshed 10000 bushels of
wheat from 240 acres, this being an
average of A bushels and 10 pounds
to the acre. A considerable portion
Of the wheat was No. l Northern,

$1.S5 per buShel, making total return
of $1961O, or an average of $S1.70 per
acre gross yields. Needless to say, we

the report of c. A. Wright of Milo.

pion, Alberta, for $1,000 in December,
1915. He stubbled in the whole lot of
1t, and threshed 4,487 bushels Grade
