Proper Food for Weak Stomachs

The proper food for one man
may be all wrong for another, Ev-
cry one should adopt a diet suited
TO his age and occupation. Those
who have weak stomachs need to
be especially careful and shonld eat
slowly and masticate their food
thoroughly. 1t is also important
that they keep their bowels regular.
When they become constipated or
when they feel dull and stupid
after eating. they should take
Chamberlain Tablets to strength
en- the stomach and move the bow
els. they are easy to take and
pleasant in effect.

Road to Happiness

Be amiable, cheerful and good
natured and you are much more
likely to be happy. You will find
this difficult, if not impossible,
however, when you are constantly
troubled with constipation. Take
Chamberlain's Tablets and get rid
of that and it will be easy. These
tablets not only move the bowels,
but improve the appetite and
strengthen the digestion.

IS CALAMITY.
SAYS ASQUiTH
Declares Soldiers in the Field
Will be Unable to Ex-
r. press Opinions.
London, Monday,

London. Monday, Nov. 1s.-Her-
bert H. Asquith, former premier, in
delivering an election speech at West
minister tonight said that when the
whole future International develop
ment of the world was in the crucible
it was both a blunder and calamity
that the country should be plunged
into the tumult of a general election.
He said the men most entitled to
express an opinion on the reconstitu-
ton of affairs-the soldiers in the
field-would be unable to vote.
{ He said he was prepared to give
fullest support to any government
which grappled with the problems Of
reconstruction on progressive lines,
but he added:
'sWhen the lion and the lamb lie
down together, it sometimes is found
that the lion has not lost it's taste for
live mutton"
Mr.. Asquith declared that the value
of free trade had been proved by the
war, because it had enabled Great
Britain to bear virtually the whole
heavy burden Of the Alliance. @'t
He said that the abnormal condi-
tons under which the country has
been living; .for-the last four years
must be. ended. He referred not
merely to restrictions on personal lib
erty and freedom of speech, but said
even compulsory military service
must be ended.

|, London, Nov. l1s.-The rumors that
William Hohenzollern may return to
Germany as reported by the Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger's hint that he would
not be refused an entry to that coun-
try, have caused stir here. They
are featured by several Of the morn
ing newspapers as creating an uncer-
tain situation which Is rendered more
doubtful by accounts of the activity
Of German propagandists in several
countries.
The fear mainly is that the former
emperor would sooner or later become
the center of a reactionary movement
in Germany when the present revolu-
tionary storm has blown over and the
advocates of this view consequently
fear his return to his former empire.
On the other hand the fact Of the
former ruler placing himself or be-
Ing placed in the hands of the new
rulers Of Germany, would be well
coined in other quarters. These
rulers. the Morning Post argues
should be able to execute judgment
upon him and in so doing would only
be acting as fitting. instruments OF
justice.
