Australia and other overseas dominions.
 The question of allegiance. which np to the last moment threatened to wreck the negotiations. was sur- mounted by permitting the members of the Irish Parliament to swear al- legiance to the constitution Of the Irish Free State and be faithful to his majesty, the king"
 The treaty has yet to run the gaunt- let of the Ulster government and of the imperial Parliament. The imperial Parliament has been summoned to meet December 14, and will be opened in state by the king, who has taken the closest interest in the Irish nego- tiations since he practically instigated them when he opened the Ulster Par l liament.

Approval by the imperial P~.lia- ment is a foregone conclusion, as the government has an overwhelming ma- jority in the House Cf Commons favor ing it's Irish policy and the action of the British representatives in reaching the agreement already has been unanimously endorsed by the cabinet.
 The position Of Ulster is less cer- tain. Evidence comes from Belfast to- night that the treaty will be su5- iected to the rnos5 searching e&araina- tion before receiving assent, and doubtless many notifications will be proposed.

Preventative Medicine.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. 1t is
easier to prevent than to cure. Pneu-
monia, one of the most dangerous dis
eases that medical men have to con-
tend with, often follows cold or at
tack of the grip. The cold prepares
the system for the reception and de-
velopment of the pneumonia germ.
The longer the cold hangs on, the
greater the danger. Take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
first indication of cold appears so as
to get rid of it with tho least possible
delay. 1t is folly to risk an attack of
pneumonia when this remedy may be
obtained for a trifie.

ponds.
The fish are not of the glass bowl

species. and will measure several
