Its Value

For more than half a century Father
Johns Medicine has proved it's value
as a pure and wholesome body-build-

by using it in their homes always tell
others of it's merit This great army
of people who use Father Johns Medi-
cine is constantly growing in numbers
and the medicine has passed OH from
one generation to another as the
standard, safe family medicine to be
used when any member of the family
becomes weak or rundown or is at

Catholic Abbot
Named Minister
Abbot One of Three
Agrarian Members Named
to Cabinet.

London, Jan. 2, 1919.
An announcement has been made
that the Czecho-Slavs republican gov
eminent is now definitely constituted.
The ministry is composed of members
of all parties, and constitutes rep
resentative national government. The
newly formed cabinet contains among
it's members three Liberals, NJ NJ
Kramarcz, president Of the council,
Rasin and Stransky. Three of the
members are agrarians, M. Stanek, NJ
Prasek and NJ Zahradnik.
The last named is, perhaps, one of
the most strenuous and important
members of the cabinet. M. Zahrad-
mix, who is Catholic priest, and Alb.
bot of the Premonstratensian order,
while his country was under the DOM
ination of the Hapsburg monarchy
carried on a most vigorous and spir-
tied campaign for the independence of
the Czechs, and he has lived to see
his life work crowned with complete
success.
Finally, the new Czecho-Slovak cab
met has among it's members the leader
of the Catholic party, M. Hruban.
At conference of the South Slav
Catholic Bishops, held recently at
Agram, the members of the episcopate
passed resolution conveying their
greetings to the South Slav state and
announcing their conviction that the
new state will recognize the rights of
the Catholic Church and settle all
questions that affect the Catholic re-
ligion in agreement with the Holy See.
The Bishops acknowledge the ne
cessity of a reform of the existing land
proprietorship in favor of the poorer
peasants, and as a sincerity in this
regard, they announce that they are
willing to relinquish, Church lands
that hitherto have been considered to
be inalienable.
The Bishops further assert that they
intend to preserve state of concord
and harmony with all recognized re-
ligious bodies, in particular with the
members of the Orthodox Church.
It is proposed that an appeal shall
be addressed to the Holy See request
ing that Catholic worship may be con-
Quoted in the Slav language Accord
ing to this plan, the clergy would be
permitted to celebrate Mass in Old
Slovak, while the other services of the
Church be conducted in New Slovak.
This project has been a matter of
debate for some years past, and the
matter will be properly presented to
the Holy See through the ordinary
channels for request of this nature.

TUNNEL BETWEEN IRELAND AND
SCOTLAND PROPOSED.
To Run From Fair Head to The Null
of kintyre in Scotland, ID
Miles.
Would Facilitate Transportation Of
Irish Butter, Fish and Other Com
modities to the Extent of
2Ea Hours.

London, England, January 18.-Con.
struction of a tunnel between Great
Britain and Ireland is up again.
With war restrictions gone, propo.
nents of this plan see no reason for
it's delay. They point to the need of
Irish butter, fish and linen arriving
in England without the necessity of
breaking bulk on the journey.
The main value of such a tunnel
would lie in bringing the Irish and
British people into far closer contact
than the present, politically as we'll as
commercially.
Distance ID Miles.
During the last rs years four engi-
neering schemes have been worked
out, but none attempted. The short
est of the routes SO far proposed is
one from the southernmost point of
the Null of Kintyre to point on the
Irish coast little to the southeast
of the Fair Head, distance of IA
miles, under seabed of uniform level
80 fathoms under water.
The great objection to this route is
that it would involve the construction
of more than a hundred miles of rail-
way in Scotland to join the existing
system and a shorter railway 70 link
up Irish lines
Saving In Time.
Naturally, since these plans were
proposed, cost of labor and material
has gone up, and the original esti-
mates have gone by the board. How
ever, the war has taught men to think
in millions, and, if the necessity of
such a tunnel were proven, money
would not be an object.
A saving Of two and half hours
could be made in a journey from Bel
fast to London throughout such tun.
mel, and it would, furthermore, mean
a reduction of many hundreds of miles
between London and New York.
