LemoIac Has Proven a Scientific
Substitute.

For many years it has been the one
thought that when the system needed
to be reiuvenated, when the liver fall

would be the only effective remedy.
Rut today, through wonderfully scien-
tific research, Lemolac has been found
to accomplish the identical results as
calomel, without the sickening and
unpleasant features.
Lemolac is purely vegetable pur-

HYMEN'S ALTARBUSY
DURING CHRISTMAS
The Large Number Of Marriages During
Christmas Week indicative Of Rich
Harvest for Cupid.

Christmas week has, since time
immemorial, sbeen the season for
the contamination Of love affairs,

WANTS THE BRITISH
TO CONTROL CABLES
Writer in London Times Says
Thus it Would be Impossible
for Neutrals to Aid Foe.

LONDON, Sept. 2O.-The Washing
ton disclosure of Swedish violation OF
neutrality raises the question OF
British control of the cables, a corre-
spondent of the Times points out.
Legally and morally, at any mo-
ment we choose" he says, I'VE have
the right and power to cut off COM
pletely all cable messages that pass
between Germany's neighbors, who
are feeding and supplying her, and
the countries overseas from which
they draw supplies
This right, he shows. has not been
exercised. and he concludes:
Now that the United States is ac-
lively and fervently on the side of the
allies, it would seem as though the
last excuse has been removed for
not depriving neutral governments,
as we'll as neutral individuals, of the
ability to work the cable services of
the world to the benefit of Ameri-
cas- enemy and our own and to our
allies detriment."
Says the Times editorially:
1T Is in the first place, for the
swedish government and for the Swe-
dish people to consider the injury
which the disclosure does to their
honor and their position. All of the
allies of the United States and Ar
gentina and all other neutral coun-
tries in which the Swedish legations
have been used as a German informa-
tion stations have been aggrieved and
Sweden cannot expect them to ac-
ouiesce in the continued abuses of
her rights or privileges as a neutral.
The Times also says the revelation
of Sweden's unneutraI conduct lends
interest to the description of the sit
uation in Sweden which was tele-
graphed from Stockholm to the
Frankfurter Zeitung on Sept. l, thus:
Germany has always shown the
most conciliatory spirit in important
questions toward the administrations
OF DR.. X. II. L. Hammarskjold, the
former prime minister of Sweden, and
Carl Swartzz, the present premier,
who succeeded him. SO Germany has
rendered easier the maintenance of
correct Swedish neutrality toward
both sides. AS things stand at pres
ent 1t is pretty likely that the Swarti
cabinet will remain in power"
The idea, says the Times. OF con-
ciliatory spirit on the part of Ger
many as an aid to the maintenance
of correct Swedish neutrality is re-
freshing.
