AN OLD MANS STOMACH.

As we grow older and less active,
less and less food Is required to meet
the demands OF our bodies. II too
much Ia habituall taken. the stomach
will rebel. When a man reaches the
advanced age OF IS or 80. you will
find that he Is a light eater. Be as
G reful as you will, however, you
will occasionally eat more than you
should and will feel the need Of
Chamberlain's Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not con
tain pepsin, but strengthen the stom-
ach and enable it to perform us
functions naturally. They also cause
q gentle movement Of the bowels.

GERMANS CYPRESS POLES IN OUTLY-
 ING PROVINCES

The Germans have made every effort Q terrorize the Poles. Accord ing to reports from the province of Siedlecviz. the rule of the so-called Ettapen Commandants in that dis trict has been characterized by all sorts of exercises.
 All men and women capable of doing physical labor have been forcibly re- moved to Prussia. Commissions were even sent out to bring in all the boys and girls. of whom labor is demanded by the Germans from ,nree to five days of each week Prior to the arrival of these commissions, the populace be- gan to hide, and orders were issued forbidding them to enter the woods Young girls sometimes spent the night in rye fields.
 Aside from the hardships of forced labor, taxes of all descriptions have been levied on the people. In addition to ordinary taxes, general poll tax of 25 marks per head is required and priests are taxed marks every time they visit their parishes. The civilian population is obliged to doff its head gear to officers and failure to obey this rule entails penalty of 10 marks. Even the refugees houses have been communicated, and a payment of 10 marks is required before house will be allotted to them.
 Also, priests who tore down proc lamations from their church walls were imprisoned for three weeks or more. The peasants in a certain will laoge raised 1000 rubles as bail for the release of the priests, but they were held up for 800 more. Then the townspeople were informed that it was not bail but fine, and the priests langui shed in the jail.

NEW ZEALAND PLANS
 RECONSTRUCTION

New Zealand is beginning to consid- CT seriously the problem of employ. ing returned soldiers after the war, ac cordins to publications from that do- minion which have reached the De- partment of Labor.
 Out -of-work pay for eXserviCe men and others is one plan that has been proposed. It is suggested that men be permitted to draw such pay, or to call upon the government through an insurance system, for 20 weeks at least during the year following their discharge from the army. Free in surance against unemployment has also been suggested.
 Emo oyment exchanges, aided by employers, and workingmen in each district, will be intrusted with the task of caring for the returned sol. diers, it is expected. A preliminary step will te the classification of trades and occupations according to their importance and prospective cap acity for employing men. Efforts will also be made to rcinstate men in their old jobs, to find employment for their substitutes in those jobs, and to en- eble youths who had not completed apprenticeship for trade to do so.

the outskirts of the city. Each house is to have adjoining sufficient land for a garden and the houses are to be erected not more than 12 on an acre. For every 9 acres devoted to open spaces. which will contain tennis courts, bowling greens and provision for other outdoor pastimes.
 "The houses are to be semidetached or built in small blocks and set back from .he street. In many cases the houses are to be planned in quad rangles, with a view to avoiding monot ony of appearance. !, The smallest dwelling is to contain fairly good sized Fvlng room, scullery and two bedrooms, but the larger ones will have CT more bedrooms, and many of them parlor.
 "As (. result of the building scheme large amount of furniture will be re- puired to furnish the new homes At present there is dearth of furniture in this country, and after the war,if import restrictions are removed, there will be large demand for American house furniture"

BRITAIN DEBATES
 HOUSE PROBLEMS

Great Britain is attempting to solve it's various housing problems, which will be serious after the war. Accord ing to 6 report made by Consul J. s. jr., Bristol, England, has more han 5000 occupied houses unfit for naDltation, 5S6 occupied houses that have been condemned and 2,000 occupied houses that should be con- demned. The health officer estimates the next five year 5.
 "There is nov tendency on the part of the government to favor the provision of houses for working people by the loca l authorities or by public utility companies, instead of by private enterprise as heretofore" says Armstr 5ng. "The city of Bristol is carrying out this policy by arranging to purchase 700 acres of land at cost of abou, s725,000 which is to be laid out as village suburbs. Further i'm portant purchases probably will be made for this purpose at later date.
 "In tt:s connection the city council has approved recommendation that application be made to the British To- cal government board for sanction to erect 5000 houses at the end of the war. IT is propose to develop five village suburbs at suitable points on
