There is no use permitting YOUR

spend the remainder of your days

the days miserable and the nights
sleepless.
Of course this all depends upon
whether or not you are willing to
continue the old-time. make-shift
methods of treatment that YOU and
many other sufferers have used for
years with no substantial results.

PARIS, Nov. IS. (By the Associated

relations between Belgium and Holland,
which have been current for the past
few days in Brussels and in diplomatic

their source in the interior politics of
Belgium, and are fostered by the po-

toward Holland, according to a member
of the Belgian peace delegation In
Paris.

strained nor better than 1t has been

Recurrence of these reports, which

BURDEN Of GREAT
BRITAINS DEBT MAY
Be PUT ON Church

LONDON, Nov. Is. fBy the Associated
Press. )ObserverB Of Great Britain's
financial problems attach some signifi-
n TO q suggestion made recently
that the main burden Of paying off the
huge national debt created BY the wal
should be laid upon the Church OF Eng
land and the Church Of Scotland, more
particularly on the former. The pro-
posal is that all their property, in
GLIDING Westminster abbey, should be
sold and converted into cash for the
relief OF the afflicted country.
The attention attracted by the idea
is due largely to its source, 1t being
brought forward by the Statist. one Of
the widely read journals OF finance and
trade. The writer OF the article asserts
the annual interest charge OF $780,
600, 900, which he estimates England is
facing, will hang like a milestone around
the nations neck unless some mean is
found TO get rid Of II.
Hence. the necessity Of making a
large hole in the debt by one large
sacrifice" with those who have the
most money contributing the most In
the emergency,
There is no reason" argues the
writer, why the Church of England
should be supported by the whole popu-
lation. 1t Is not believed in by the
whole population, and, therefore, II has
lost all right to exact support from
those who do not attend Its services
What Is wanted now is that the whole
property Of the church, without excep-
ton, should be used for the freeing
Of the country from debt.
1T has been suggested very little
could be got for Westminster abbey.
We differ entirely. We believe that
a very large sum could be got for
Westminster abbey. The wise course
would be to put the abbey up at auc-
ton and allow every great church TO
bid for 1t as much as they please"
