 PLEADS FOR LEAGUE
 Let us earnestly try it. exclaimed the premier.
 Had 1t been in existence in 1914 it would have been difficult for Ger many and Austria to make war, and if they had America would have been in the first day, instead of two years after"
 The premier argued that it would have been a mistake to let Germany Into the league while there were ques- tions resulting from the war that still remained to be settled It was for Germany herself to accelerate the date of her entry by showing that the fire of war has purified her soul. The sooner she enters the better it would be for Germany and the world
 After alluding to the disposition of the colonies and1to the labor conven- tion. MT Lloyd George, reviewing Great Britain's part in the war and the treaty, described it as a tremend- ous achievement. He was not sure that the great commonwealth of na- tions known as the British empire yet realized the great part it had in the achievement He then passed, in brief review, to the men who joined the colors. the money raised and the sac- rifices of men and material made by the empire.
 Let us not waste strength prema- turely in fighting each other. I say with all solemnity that. if we wish to save this country from sinking un- der it's burdens and the worlds we must make the most effective use of the resources of the country and the empire"
 There was a scene like those which frequently occurred in the "suffrag- ette' days during the debate after the premier's speech. A woman in the gal leries shouted:
 There is no need to send men to Russia. The war is over"
 Attendants carried her out strug- gling and crying that her son was be- ing sent to Russia
 Another woman took up the cry, and while she was being dragged out tw men had fist fight. The Ngal1eries were then cleared

BAD BREATH
Puts Stomach in Fine condition-Lax- carin Tablets Get at the Cause
 and Removes Bad Breath.

Laxcarin tablets for which there is no substitute of any worthy considera- tion, act gently on the bowels and posi- lively do the work.
 People afflicted with bad breath find quick relief through Laxcarin tablets. The pleasant chocolate coated tablets are taken by all who know not only for bad breath but for the cause of bad breath itself which is most usually caused by stomach disorders such as indigestion, soury and gasy stomach, where there is much bloat- ing of gases, etc, etc. Laxcarin tab lets are also very good for constipa- tion, whether it is chronic case or whether it may be only occasional. Laxcarin gently forces the bowels to move at the same time compels the toxins, and other poisons which ac- cumulate in the bowels and the kid neys to leave the system. Laxcarin stimulates the bowels and the liver into natural action, clearing the blood and gently purifying the entire sys- tenn. Laxcarin does this work with out any danger, and without any bad effects which are usually caused by others.
 All the benefits of nasty. sickening, gripping cathartics are derived from Laxcarin tablets without griping, pain or any disagreeable effects.
 Laxcarin tablets formula is not a secret preparation, and the same form ula is being used by thousands and thousands of physicians all over the world. Only so far it has been ob- tainable only by physicians prescrip- tions. It is the prescription of a very famous professor.
 Laxcarin is a purely vegetable com pound-you will like them after trial. Will never want to be without it. It is really a very good family laxative.
 It is best to order enough for a full treatment at once, which is six boxes for S5, as on account of the very changing market conditions and on ac- count of the many repeat orders we are hardly able to fill the orders. One box is only $1 and it is worth a mil. lion more to the sufferer because it relieves and because it works like a clock. Will be sent upon receipt of re mittance post paid Laxcarin Products company, Dept E-52, Pittsburg, Pa.
