EFFECTS OF CONSTIPATION

Constipation causes a stoppage OF
the sewerage system of the body. The
poisonous refuse matter that should be
carried away is retained in the system
and often poisons the blood and causes
numerous disorders. No one can af-
ford to neglect his bowels. A dose of
Chamberlains Tablets will afford re-
lief. Avoid drastic cathartics as they
take too much water out of the system
and their use is likely to be followed
by constipation.-For sale by A. c.

CONDEMNS IRISH WAR
King George Says Violence Can
not Settle Dispute.
Ruler Urges Trade Pact With Soviet
Russia in Speech From the
Throne.

London, Feb. 16.-Violence will not
solve the Irish problem, King George
declared here in his speech from the
throne to the two houses Of parliament
in formally opening the session.
One OF the outstanding sections OF
his address referred to Ireland, the
king saying:
1.-THE situation in Ireland still causes
me distress. A misguided section of
the Irish people persists in resorting
to methods of criminal violence with
the object of establishing an indepen-
dent republic.
Neither Irish unity nor Irish self
government can be attained by this
MEANS"
The kings speech was brief, but
touched on numerous vital questions
confronting the government. At the
outset it referred to the coming con-
ferences to be held in London and at
tended by the representatives of al
lied nations, Germany and Turkey.
II earnestly trust" said King
George, that by this means further
progress may be made in giving effect
to treaties of peace in re-establishing
concord in Europe and restoring tran
guilty In the near east
King George expressed himself as
favorably disposed toward a CONNER
cial treaty with soviet Russia, say
ing:
1T is my hope that negotiations for
trade agreement with Russia also
be brought to successful conclusion"
In discussing the Irish question the
king said:
Arrangements for bringing into
force the governments Irish act are
now well advanced, and I earnestly
trust that in the near future the ma
jority of the people will show their
determination to repudiate violence
and give effect to an act which con-
fers upon them responsibilities Of self
government and provides machinery
by which they can attain Irish unity
by constitutional means"
Hundreds Of thousands thronged the
streets Of London from earliest day
break in order that they might find
points of vantage from which to get
a glimpse of the king and queen, the
prince of Wales, the duke Of York
and other dignitaries on their drive
to the parliament buildings.
King George and Queen Mary left
palace shortly before
noon, and entered gilded coach of
state drawn by eight black horses.

RinQs and Scales Of Fishes,

Several theories have been advanced
to explain the rings that close exami-
nation shows on the scales Of fishes.
The favorite theory is that they de-
note the age of the fish-a ring to a
year, like the rings that show the age
Of tree. Icthyologists in cany Eu-
ropean countries have made a careful
study of the matter and have deemed
1t of enough Importance to make 1t
the subject Of report published as
British bluebook. They hold that the
scales do tell with near approach to
accuracy the age of salmon and her.
ring; as to other fish they are in doubt.
The Norwegians maintain that the
rings bear relation merely to the
length Of the fish.-Youth's Compan-

FOR NEXT SEASONS DRESSES
Gorgeous Materials for Spring and
Summer Wear Are Arriving
From Europe.

From Europe there come samples Of
gorgeous materials destined for the
spring and summer dresses. They have
embroidered fabrics that quite take
ones breath away because Of the in
tricacy Of the work they display. The
eyelet work is very popular with
the French, and they have produced
more than one material which shows
this sort Of embroidery used In an all
over pattern Of borders that are de-
signed to be used as trimming for the
prospective gown. They embrOider on
silk. on chiffon, on taffeta and on q
variety of other allied fabrics.
They have a vOile that has an all
over pattern done in thread work run
ming over its entire surface. This al
lows so great a variety Of color COM
blnations that It cannot help but meet
with favor. There Is another imported
yoile in white with pattern In black
made up Of squares and dots embrol-
dered on its surface.
The French are also showing mate
rails with embroidered designs. They
have what they call sponge cloth
which is embroidered in this manner
and which Is used both for skirts and
for the trimming Of bOdices that GO
With them.
Though georgette has been said to
have passed from favor. there are stin
to be seen, both here and abroad, many
weaves Of georgettes done with stripes
and patterns and certain brOcaded de-
signs. These have the charm Of nov
city and for that reason they will
probably win a place for themselves
among the favorite materials Of the
season.

IN LATEST WRAPS
Picturesque Garments for After
noon and Evening.
Vogue for Danee-Teas and Restaurant
Parties Creates Demand for
Attractive Apparel.

Picturesque wraps-fOr afternoon as
well as evening-are immensely pop
ular this year. The ever increasing
vogue Of dance-teas and restaurant
parties may be answerable for this.
Certain II is that the fashions Of the
present hour are extremely decora-
tve-and becoming.
Some Of the latest designs for eve
ming wraps are so intricate that ordi-
nary women feel a little afraid Of
them, but much Of the elaboration Is
centered in the design itsef-and In
the Innings chosen. for II is truly the
day Of Innings.
Several different materials may be
mingled In these mantles-thOse in
tended for afternoon wear as well as
evening cloakS- This is a specially
practical fashion. Old garments, made
Of good materials, may be taken to
pieces, freshened up and then com
bined. In this way very rich and
beautiful effects may be obtained with
out a great outlay Of money.
Take for example an exquisite eve
ming wrap recently launched at Monte
Carlo by Cecil SOrel. 1t was long,
almost ankle-length, and II was made
Of several different materials-blaek
chantilly lace, silver tissue and rust
red satin-the latter used for the lin
ing.
In addition to all this there was a
shoulder cape. attached to the mantle
all. round the border. Of seal mus
quash, and this cape was cut In van
