AN IRISH GOVERNMENT

letter to the press suggest, immediate
establishment of responsible govern
ment in Ireland as way out of the diff
fcuty.
AT the gravest crisis with which the
empire has ever been faced" says the
letter, ''the government had staked their
existence on two-fold Irish policy
CONSUMPTION and home rule They can
not achieve both except at the cost of
much present bloodshed and lasting hate
They might achieve the first and by it
make the second impossible.
In my opinion they would fail in the
second attempt and have to 90 on leay-

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit TO the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have TO be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine Is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

MORE TRADE INFORMATION.
Is Wanted By the Government to Use
in War Service.

Washington, May 6.-The business
public was asked to-day by the depart
nlent of commerce TO assist in carving
out radical revision and extension of
the governments foreign trade statisti-
cal classification which has been under
taken by the bureau of foreign and do
mestic commerce.
Immediate suggestions are wanted as
to new classes of goods that ought to be
shown in the statistics or new subdi-
visions of the present classes.
The immediate object of the revision
is the furnishing of more detailed and
accurate information for The war boards
engaged in licensing imports and exports,
conserving tonnage, foodstuffs and raw
materials. It is Secretary Redfeld's
idea, however, that the staities should be
OF the largest permanent value to the
nations foreign trade after the war.
which Is why the views of business men
generally are being sought to indicate
the lines on which the revision should be
carried out.

TELLS IRELAND
TO HOLD ON
In Two Weeks More They
Will Have Defeated
Consumption
JOHN DILLON SAID
AT BELLAGHADEREEN
Called the Draft Intolerable
Form of Oppression
to Irish

London, MAY 6.-Anticonseription
speeches were made from the same plat
form by John Dillon, Nationalist leader,
aud Prof Edward DE Valera, head OF the
Sim Fein, yesterday, at Bellaghadereen,
In billions constituency OF East Mayo.
Good humor and enthusiasm character
lied the demonstration, which was at
tended by $4,000 persons.
Mr.. Dillon said that II the Irish kept
united and determined for another two
weeks they would defeat CONSUMPTION.
II was an atrocious form of oppression
20 try to compel a people to fight for
country not their own. He personally
opposed CONSUMPTION whether in Great
Britain or in Ireland aud believed it was
great blunder to depart from England's
settled policy against compulsory serv-
ice, especially when il was not to defend
the soil of Great Britain but to send
huge armies TO the continent.
But it was impossible and mthinkable,
the Nationalist leader declared, to at
tempt to apply CONSUMPTION to free
and democratic people unless there was
agreement amounting almost to unanl- !
nifty. He earnestly appealed for spirit
of frank and friendly cooperation
throughout Ireland. Without this, unity |
was impossible Committees throughout |
the country must be organized with a
sincere desire to give fair representation |
to all sections.
If the nations unity was broken in the
face of the present terrific danger, Mr..
Dillon continued, the government would
be encouraged to pursue their wicked and
insane policy and the discipline of the
people, which is essential to the defeat
g L.. Lr.1 Eha,,
the whole game would be thrown into
the hands of the military authorities.
The Nationalist and Sim Feiners, he
said, actually agreed, that the whole
struggle for Ireland's rights was based
on the principal of her rights as a ma
ton. There was a false impression in
the country that all danger was over
This was a terribly false impression Mr. &
Dillon declared. There was no question :
that the government had been staggered
and no longer were SO confident about
the practieability of their policy as pro- {
fessed when the bill was introduced. G
Mr.. Dillon suggested the formation of c
Irish committees attached to every {
church and chapel so that in the event a
of a struggle being forced upon them, t
the church could be the rallying point. 4
The Nationalist leader declared he was Il
convinced it would take an army such as Il
England could i'll spare to carry out sue c
cessfully CONSUMPTION in Ireland. He c
was also convinced that the government
would split ON the Irish rock and instead Il
of destroying the Irish nation, the Irish II
would destroy them. d
Professor De Valera said his followers
would unite with those of Mr.. Dillon to S
defeat CONSUMPTION. With the reference Il
to the issue raised in East Cavan, he S
said there was only one arbitrator to Ii
whom the Sim Fein would submit, o.
namely the free choice of the electors. il

Of the chief sources of fat.

1t is our soldiers, sailors and the allies
about whom we need worry. France and
England are short of fats, terribly short,
and America must make up that short

If every person in American saves one
ounce of fat a day we can ship fats
enough for our soldiers, sailors and al

One third of an ounce of fats meas
