A Bilious Attack.

When you have bilious attack your
liver fails to perform it's functions. You be-
come constipated. The food you eat ferments
in your stomach instead of digesting. This in
flames the stomach and causes nausea, vomiting
and terrible headache. Take Chamberlain's
Tablets. They will tone up your liver, clean
out your stomach and you will soon be as we'll
as ever. They only cost quarter.

ARMED SHIPS BRING CRISIS
Germany Has Declared That They
Will Be Treated as Pirates by
U-Boat Commanders - American
Captains Have Orders to Shoot on
Sight.

Washington, Mar. 13.-Within ten
days the question of actual hostilities
or peace between the United States
and Germany will be settled.
With armed American merchant
men prepared to dash through the sub
marine zone, the President and his adj
visers began "watchful waiting"
Long days and anxious nights will
now occupy Washington and the coun-
try.
The administration was convinced
the differences between the United
States and Germany will reach a eli
max when the first armed American
merchant ship meets a German sub
marine.
While all ship movements were
shrouded behind impenetrable secrecy,
it was stated American commercial
ships with naval guns and gunners
will depart in a few days and enter
the war zone within ten days at most.
The American gunners will have Or
ders to fire at once on any submarine
which approaches in a threatening
manner.
Hope Is Held.
The administration still hopes Ger
man submarine commanders will fol-
low international law. If this is fol-
lowed, and American ships are board
ed and searched for contraband, the
ships will not resist.
Only this course, it was stated, can
prevent open hostilities.
Meantime the navy department.
pressed steadily the work of arming
merchantmen. Every ship, which re-
quests protection, will be given ade~
quate armament and qualified naval
gunners.
Every government agency Will be
invoked to insure secrecy, concerning
departures, arrivals and probable
courses.
The governments war-making ma
chinery is ordered to prepare to fight,
and industrial and commercial mobil-
ization will go steadily on. Through
the council of national defense, and its
advisory committee, all the nations
energies will be made available for
the President to use.
Legislation Is Planned.
He and his advisers have begun
planning the "war legislation" to be
laid before the extraordinary session
of congress called April 16.

The committee found many gardens
worthy OF honorable mentio5, and it was
with mnch difficulty the selections were
made. They also found thet many of the
tenants were barred from the prizes, al.
though having very good gardens, having
failed to comply with the rule forbiddinp
any garden to extend beyond the front
OF the building line.
In awarding the grand prize they found
No SO in the Permanent Village a very
close second to the winner, who had "a
varieties OF vegetables and extremely well
kept grannds. No. SO was also in very
good shape aud had 26 varieties, but also
had some grass and weeds in n straw berry
patch, which in the opinion OF the COM
mittee eliminated him from the prize.
The intensity of the cultivation Of
many OF the gardens was a subject Of
much interest and qualification to the
committee and they heartily recommend
the continuance Of these prizes for next
year.
