''CASCARETS' ACT
ON LIVER; BOWELS
No sick headache, biliousness,
bad taste or constipation
by morning.
Get a 10-cent box.

Are you keeping your bowels, liver,
and stomach clean, pure and fresh
with Cascarets, or merely forcing a
passageway every few days with
Salts, Cathartic Pills, Castor Oil or
Purgative Waters?
Stop having bowel wash-day. Let
Cascarets thoroughly cleanse and reg
ulate the stomach, remove the sour
and fermenting food and foul gases,
take the excess bile from the liver
and carry out of the system all the
constipated waste matter and poisons
in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will make you
feel great by morning. They work
while you sleep-never grippe, sicken
or cause any inconvenience, and cost
only 10 cents a box from your store.
Millions of men and women take a
Cascaret now and then and never
have Headache, Biliousness, Coated
Tongue, Indigestion, Sour Stomach or
Constipation. Adv.

DAILY EXERCISE FOR STOCK
Horses and Mules Should Be Given
Run for an Hour or So in Lot
Adjoining Stables.

Horses and mules should have good
daily carding and regular exercise. If
there is nothing for them to do re-
move their shoes and give them a
run for an hour or so in a well-fenced
lot adjoining the stables.
The best and safest fence for pas
ture is of stout woven wire, rail or
combination board and smooth wire.
Barbed wire should not be used, as it
Is dangerous.

A Detroit newspaperman, who just
sort of goes around seeing what he
can see, records that zone day last
week" there strolled into the lobby of
one of the city's leading hotels an
elderly man of military bearing with
gruff Prussianized countenance, and
beside him younger and slighter in
dividual, whose whimsical smile and
twinkling eyes were in strong contrast
with the expression of his companion.
Designating the conventions, the pair
seated themselves on bench reserved
for 'bell hops," and entered into ami
mated conversation, all unmindful of
the uniformed service boys whose
place they had usurped, and who in
turn were blissfully unaware that they
had given up their seats to Gen. Mel
son A. Miles and Henry Ford. But
little bird happened to fly into the
lobby, and, spying the two distin-
guished men in conversation, right
fully decided that an earful of this

Useless Home Rule.

He ridiculed the so-called Charter
which the world has never seen, and
which would have no power over it's
land or money, and said the Party
were even prepared to accept that Par
lament for fragment OF Ireland in
order that they might become sham
Cabinet Ministers with big salaries
and no power. Neither Mr.. Redmond
following today, except what an al
most defunct organization might be
able to set up. The Unionists of Ul-
ster would today far rather have a
better Bill than the one on the Statute
Book, or would far rather have the
complete independence of Ireland.
The Unionists of Ireland had no desire
and they were right-to have the
financial affairs of Ireland or any other
affairs, put into the hands of Party
whose idea of business was to burn
their cheque books and account books,
as they admitted in the court of law.
In order that Ireland should be rep
resented at the Peace Conference it
was essential first to withdraw from
the British Parliament. When West
meath sent him to Parliament over II
years ago, they did not elect him to
become the tail of the Liberal Party,
to take breakfasts at Downing street,
or to get jobs and J. P. ships for his
friends; but to fight for Irish self
government, "and here am now be.
fore you," he added, "and ask you
have I done my part like a MANI"
There were loud cheers and cries of
"You have" and he went on to say
that he had been called upon to do
one days more work at Westminster
and then come home to ireland.

Irish Peoples Desire.

Until the Irish people declared that
another form of government was more
suitable the Irish Republic was the
form of government that the Sim
Feiners would give allegiance to. The
explanation of the victory in East
Glare was that the electors gave ex-
preston to what was the desire of
every Irishman's heart-complete in
dependence. He was convinced that
there was no true Irishman today that
was not on their side. Some men
might not understand them, and some
might say they were dreamers, but
they were just as sane If not saner,
than any of their opponents, because
they had made no mistakes.
A. Griffith said there was no man
in Ireland he admired more for his
moral courage than Mr.. Ginnell. He
had now told them that it was not
in an English Parliament Ireland's
freedom could be won, and Mr.. Ginnell
would in Ireland be a power and a
force in the Sim Fein movement.
Once they had an assembly of Irish
men in the capital of Ireland they
were going to advance their material
prosperity as we'll as their political
fortunes.
Darrell Figgis said that Ireland, in
representing her case at the Peace
Conference was standing firm to the
professions made by each one of the

for the last time, and would repudiate

No "Red Revolution"
Mr.. Ginnel proposed resolution
affirming the right of Ireland to SOW
ereign independence. He denied that
their movement was unconstitutional
or that they were out for red revolu-
tion," and said the Government of the
country, to be constitutional, should
be in accordance with the freely ex-
pressed opinions of the majority. At
the outbreak of the war the backbone
less creatures who used to call them
selves leaders of the Irish race at
home and abroad could have got the
independence of Ireland If they had the
courage of men.
They then came to Ireland as Eng
lands recruiting agents. They had
for a long time kept the upper hand
of the people by wire pulling, but the
turning point was when they accepted
the G400 a year, and became not Ire
lands representatives in England, but
England's representatives in Ireland.
They all knew that today the Irish
Party did not contain single man of
either character or ability. They were
all nonentities and nincompoops, and
if the Party was swept out of the
country, as it was likely to be, some
members of it would within twelve
months be either in the poorhouse or
the madhouse.
