uncomfortable.

The nerves are of woman's body the

Of war the lack of some such protec-
ton as Convention vi proposes to
anord would cause the ships hurried
ly to put to sea, to the disastrous in
terruption of peaceful commerce.
The consequence of the agitation
might itself be one of the causes
leading to the conflict. The German
liners are not in this situation.
(5) On the other hand, 1t may be
argued that the German vessels have
put themselves in our power, relying
on our protection. and that it is con-
trary to the professed policy of the
United States to conf1scate private
property at sea. We have never,
however, proclaimed our intention to
forego the right of seizure until
there should be general agreement
among the nations. On the other
hand. all that Germany, strictly
speaking, can reasonably expect is
that we should protect her vessels as
long as the peaceful relations con-
tinued: We are, therefore, under no
obligations in regard to the German
liners, but hope that we may take
the occasion to establish q precedent
by making adequate compensation
for such Of the vessels as we shall
find it necessary to requisition."

London, Feb. 8.-Proflts of wom-
ems clothing manufacturers have in
creased by leaps and bounds since the
war began. All such firms are doing
better business in wartime than they
did in peace.
This was shown at meeting of the

nounced that the net profit for 1916

An appreciable part of this whole
sale drapery prosperity Is due to the
amiable desire Of the ladies to look
their best on all possible occasions"
said the chairman. There are many
women now with more money to
spend on surplus requirements than
at any previous time, whose first ma
tural desire was to replenish their
wardrobes.
There are unsympathetic persons
forward to denounce that desire. /
am sure that nothing known to the
wit OF man would separate becom-
ing hat from a woman who knew 1t
was becoming and had seen It, think
therefore that all these remonstrances
are perfectly futile. Nothing short
of law compelling all women, from

would be effective.
II would not envy the inspector or
other official who was charged with
the duty Of enforcing that law. OF
course women should spend in mod
Grafton and not dress extravagantly.

innate their profits last year at $780,
$50, against $4,000 in 1918.

colomini, Duke of Amalfi. The Pic
colomini tomb. until recently, was
preserved in the church of S. Maria

Conspicuous among the furnishings

include two Rembrandts, Corot and
Turner. Most of these paintings at

Paul Manship. North of the fountain
is the entrance to the museum. tho
doors of which are fine specimens OF
Italian wood carving of the fifteenth
century. The antique idea is carried
out by swinging the doors on old
fashioned staples instead of hinges.

New York, Feb. s.-Should war
come between the United States and
Germany, 1t is likely that one of the
first acts of this government would
be to seize the interned German liners
in American ports. These liners in
themselves make a fair sized mer-
chant feet, and would be extremely
useful in the carrying Of supplies to
the allies. The cargo carrying ca
pacity of the interned Teuton ships
in this port alone is 1SS,30O tons.
Their gross tonnage is approximately
25O,0OO tons.
Americas rights and duties in re-
spect to these interned liners are set
forth in a statement by Professor
Ellery c. Stowell. one Of the worlds
foremost authorities on international
law.
"1n regard to the great German
liners laid up in our harbors," said
Prof. Stowell there is no obligation
in international law which should
prevent our requisitioning these ves-

cause a big break in prices and he
wants to be in position to take ad-
vantage of such declines to make pur-

Of the German liners:
"G) The convention has not been

"(2) According to article the
convention does not affect merchant
ships whose build shows that they
are intended for conversion into war
ships. Although the liners in ques-
ton are peaceful in point Of view of
their construction, the fact that they
could play an important part in the
conduct Of cruiser warfare and the
transport of troops takes them out
Of the purely commercial interests

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness' and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
