CONSTIPATION

Most laxatives and cathartics afford
only temporary relief and should be
used only for that purpose. When
you want permanent relief take Cham
berlain's Tablets and be carefHl to
observe the directions with each pack

bowels, but improve the appetite and
strengthen the digestion.

WHAT THE PRESS OF THE
NATION SAY.
1T WOULD az A GREAT TRAGEDY
(LoI don Observer,

'"The discussion of the treaty has
been tinged by a tone calling to Eu-
ropean pride. Intense but misguided
patriotism has induced some Ameri-
cans to place the great powers of Eu-
rope on the level of Central American
republics. Such an attitude can only
breed misunderstanding and bad blood.
Not only have we people OF the world
done and sufferd great things In the
war, but we have made great conces-
sions to American sentiment.
THE important clause in the cove
nant which safeguards the regional
understandings, of which the Monroe
doctrine is cited as a specific instance,
is scarcely congenial to European
thought. Applied to European condi-
lions, 1t offers a dangerous scope to
secretive and cantankerous diplomacy
but represents the price which Europe
will be willing to pay for American
lco-operation for the common welfare
When it was framed we all thought
America by her declaration of war hao
definitely broken with her old traditions
of aloofness from our affairs; but 6
