SIR EDWARD Carson
WARNS OF DANGER
Ulster Leader Regards Re-
opening of Irish Home Rule
Issue a Calamity.
ASSAILS SINN FEINERS

LONDON, May Sir Edward Carson,
the Ulster unionist leader, in another
forcible letter to the press, warns the
government OF the danger Of its home
rule policy. He expresses doubt as to
whether the government really intends
to apply CONSUMPTION to Ireland and
urges the unionist party to compel re-
consideration Of the government
policy.
Il cannot but think it will be a great
calamity If, in the midst Of the war. and
at its most critical PERIOD" says Sir
Edwards letter. "the unionist party,
which is the main support of the gov
eminent, should be rent asunder by a
revival of the home rule controversy.
The action of the nationalists,
Sim Fein and the Roman Catholic hier-
archy has demonstrated how useless
imperial reservations and paper saf,-
guards must be in any Irish settlement.
Called Convincing Proof"
THE advocates of federal plan have
here most convincing proof it is not
one which will satisfy nationalist as
pirations. If the defense of the realm
act is not accepted in spirit as we'll as
in letter as a part Of the functions of
the imperial parliament. 1t is idl. to
suppose that any reservations will lie
of any avail.
But do the government really intend
to enforce conscription? I already have
expressed grave doubts in this matter
and since that time 1t has been made
clear by Minister Barnes that no such
intention exists. at all events until home
rule has become law.
THE appointment as chief secretary
for ireland of Edward Shortt. who OPP
posed CONSUMPTION for Ireland, Is an
indication in the same direction Does
the government really contemplate
that after setting up an Irish govern
ment opposed to consumption their first
action will be to fall foul of gov
eminent of their own creation?
1t is evident that the situation is SO
changed that a vast body Of the south
ern Irish unionists no longer support
the action of Viscount Middleton and
the southern unionist delegates at the
convention. May l add also that the
government have the clearest evidence
organization Is and has been in al
lance with Germany.
Question That Is Paramount.
"Have the government calculated
what part that organization will play
in the new irish government? Where.
then, does the benefit to the prosecu-
ton of the war come in? That is, and
must he. the paramount consideration
Then referring to the manner Of
loyal Ulster waiting in calm conf
dence that specific pledges to her will
be redeemed" Sir Edward said
This calm, it must be recollected. is
an indication not of weakness. but of
strength. l appeal. therefore. to the
unionist members Of the government
and to the unionist party to compel
a reconsideration of this matter before
we have fratricidal conflict at a time
when our noble energy should be de-
voted to the prosecution of the war;"

not only go far toward paying Amer
ica's expenses in the war. but will also
reduce consumption Of raw and manu-
featured materials essential to the con-
duct of the war.
The council urges all to refrain
from unnecessary expenditure OF every
kind and to bear constantly In mind
that only one thing is now of real
Importance. and that is the winning OF
the war.
'The nations resources in manpower,
money. transportation. foodstuffs. raw
materials and fuel have already been
subjected to heavy strain. and it is
the clear duty of every citizen to guard
against increasing this strain by sim
gle wasteful act.
Helpful Self-Denial.
ut is most creditable for every one
man and woman. boy and girl-to be
economical in dress. food and manner
of living. Every evidence Of helpful
self-denial on the part of all in a time
like this is most commendable.
This war is more than a conflict
between armies: it is a contest in which
every man, woman and child can and
should render assistance. Thrift and
economy is not only a patriotic priv
ilege-it is a duty"

PEOPLE TO BAN N-ESSENT1ALS

Flowers Found Useless.

The Council of National Defense has
announced a plan by which every man.

do not buy anything you can do with
out"
A campaign to preach this gospel of
thrift will be launched shortly, and
posters, four-minute men, and every
available publicity agency will be used
to drive the message home to the
American people.
The campaign is one not primarily for
the saving of money but for a curtail-
ment Of consumption.
; Will Relieve Manufacturers.
1t is supplementary to, though 1t will
not displace. the efforts of the War
Industry Board to curtail production in
many less essential lines. 1t will OPP
crate automatically to relieve the
commodities from the pressure of a
heavy demand. in the face of which they
are compelled to reduce their output.
The proposed campaign has the APP
prevail OF the six cabinet members who
compose the Council of National Defense.
and also of the advisory commission,
which includes men like julius Rosenwald,
whose business will be affected.
1t was explained that after diligent
study of the subject. the council has been
unable to settle upon any list of mon
essentials" Some commodities which are
not essential to some consumers are need
full to others. Therefore, one factor in
the formulation Of this program of thrift
was the effort to make each loyal citizen
his own judge of what he should buy and
what he should not. To some persons. for
example, an automobile is a luxury; to
others 1t is necessity.

TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Torture
 Relieved by Black -Draught.

Rossville, Ga.-Mrs. Kate Lee Able, of this place, writes: My husband is an engineer, and once while lifting, he in- iured himself with piece of heavy ma- chinery, across the abdomen He was so sore he could not bear to press on himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He weighed l65 lbs, and fell off until he weighed no lbs, in two weeks.
 He became constipated and it looked like he would die. We had three different doctors, yet with all their medicine. his bowels failed to act. He would turn up a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink it two or three days in succession. He did this yet without result. We became desperate, he suffered so. He was swol- len terribly, He told me his suffering could only be described as torture.
