British Labor Party
to Lead Opposition
-, to the Government

London, Jan. S.-The English
labor party has decided to accept
the responsible position of Official
opposition to the government. This
is a landmark in English parlia-
mentary history,
The labor party's position as the
largest body outside of the coalition
has entitled it to this distinction,
and its leaders will take their seats
on the front opposition bench as the
alternative combination to the mys-
terry of the day. At the same time,
though the labor party has this nu-
merical advantage, there are numer-
Gus liberals in coalition and the
total number of liberal members OF
parliament is we'll in excess of the
total number of labor members.
The leader of the new opposition
will be William Adamson, repre-
senting West Fife, who worked as
a miner for q years.

A well-known physician is quoted
as saying that "Careless habits, evil
habits and ignorant habits result in
fatalities whenever an epidemic dis
ease appears in a community"
It should be we'll known that ex-
cesses and indulgences of whatsoev-
er kind bring about a condition of
low vitality. To have low vitality is
to be partially sick; to remain so,
gives free entry to fatal disease
germs. 1t is duty and common sense
to remove low vitality.
Do you catch cold too easily?
Are you weak, irritable, nervous
and worn out before the day is half
over? Have you aches and pains
of unknown origin? Are you too
thin and seemingly "bloodless?" Do
you have tremors and !nsound
fears? Do you lack energy and
ambition? Are you respondent
without reason? Is your digestion
faulty and your appetite tickle? Do
you suffer with dreadful pains in
the back of head and neck? Do
you have shooting pains like neu-
ralgia and rheumatism?
If any or all Of these symptoms
are yours, then a tonic medicine
like Cadomene Tablets should bring
relief, health and strength if taken
regularly with meals. Three grain
Cadomene Tablet has ofen been
called the miracle medicine" be-
cause it is so quickly effective in

BE A PROFlT-SHARER IN
THIS GREAT COUNTRY
Every War Savings Stamp You Buy
Gives You Greater "Stake"
In the Land You Love.

All over the United States profit
sharing wave is in progress. The
great industrial firms and employers
of the country, quick to see the way
industrial and economic straws are
blowing, on all sides are putting into
active practice ideas and plans and
theories that not so long since would
have been regarded as absurdly Uto-
plan and visionary. The American
WOrkingman is not only invited, but
urged to become a profit-sharing part
ner instead of a mere Garner of wages.
1t is interesting, in this connection, to
note that the United States govern
ment was practically first in this wide
and promising field.
The s''stock distribution plan" most
favored by large employers of the
present era is precisely that first ia
vored by Uncle Sam in regard to gov
eminent investments and savings.
Evolved with view of encouraging
thrift" is the apt phrase most popu-
lar in such connections. 1t tallies adj
mirably with Uncle Sans similar and

Even in regard to the regulations rem
dering it possible for the low-salaried
worker with serious family obligations
to invest is the new industrial idea
patterned after that of Uncle Sam.
Every man, woman and child in the
United States may, at will, become a

HOW ROMANS GOT THE NEWS
Bulletin Boards Furnished Information
to the Citizens Of the "Capital
of the World"

Caius julius Caesar knew the value
of publicity. AS far back as when he
was consul go B. CO. he ordered the
publication of senate acts and discus
sions. These "Acta Senatus" were
published on a whitened wooden board
called album" the neuter of "albus,'
which means white. In imperial days,
at least as early as 20 A. D., there was
an official publisher, Curator Actor
um." This news corresponded to what
we get in our Congressional Record,
and contained-as our record once did
the Interruptions and the applause.
In GO B. c., Caesar also ordered pub
lished Gin albo" the private news of
general interest, "Acta Diurna Populi
ROmani."
The bulletin boards of the modern
newspapers had their precursors in
these white tablets ordered to be dis.
played publicly by Caesar. In New
York there are men who haunt the bull
letin boards of the metropolitan dali
les, jot down the news displayed there
on, and later telegraph the items to
the dailies in small cities which do not
support so extensive a news service as
that furnished by the United or the
Associated Press. So in Rome, the
writer of news letters or circulars cop
led the news published sin albo' and
sent the most important items to his
subscriber out of. the city. Scandal
was featured in "Acto Diurna," and
society news, in modern fashion, was
furnished by families concerned

SUPERSTITION AN GID ONE.
In All Ages the Belief in Gcry stsl
Gazing" Has Been More or Less
Strongly Held.

Crystal gazing, or "scrying," as writ
ers on the subject term it, has been
practiced pretty well over the world
from ancient times to the present. In
early times they used to scry in springs
and bowls of water. In the British
museum there is a crystal ball said
to have been used by DR. Dee, a wizard
of the time of Queen Bess. Cagliostro,
that sublime humbug of the eighteenth
century, used to place pail Of water
on the stage and request some child
to come out of the audience and gaze
into it. The child would babble Of
castles, pageants and other marvellous
pictures he could see in the clear
liquid. The society for psychioal re-
search, certain of whose members, one
would almost conclude, are ready to
swallow whole superstition in any
shape, has done some crystal gazing
and at last accounts had glass balls
for sale at it's headquarters in London.
The late Andrew Lang stated his be-
lief that some people have the faculty
"of seeing faces, places, persons in
motion in glass ball, in water, ink
or any clear Deep" but scouts the no.
ton that serving can accomplish any
thing in the way Of finding lost prop
erty or in foretelling the future, as has
been claimed for it by crystal gazing
enthusiasts. AS crystal ball is not
absolutely necessary, by all accounts
and a glass pitcher of water will do
just as well, almost anybody may make
experiments in serving. The liquid first
turns black, it is claimed, then come
the pictures. Some of us may feel that
it would require wait of at least a
hundred years before anything could
be seen.
