SUPPORT PREMIER

LONDON, Nov. 9-The Ulster
cabinet representatives unanimous
ly approved today "the firm atti-
tude" which Sir James Craig, the
Ulster premier, has maintained in
the interests of Ulster in his con-
ferences with Prime Minister
Lloyd-George over the question of
an Irish settlement. No resumption

don. Sir James explained the stu
alton in the Irish negotiations so
far as he had been made aware of,
in his recent interviews with Mr..
Lloyd-George and outlined the
policy he had pursued in the cir
cumstances.
No definite decision will be
AIKEN by the misrepresentation
until they are in possession of the
detailed written statement of the
negotiations between Mr.. Lloyd
George and the Sim Fein dele
rates which the British premier
has promised. The Ulster cabinet
members adjourned until IL
o'clock Thursday morning when
Mr.. Lloyd-George hopes to have
the statement ready.

TO THE
PEOPLE

The chief cause of the i'll
health of the American people is
Constipation. If the waste of
the body is not properly dis
posed of daily, indigestion must
result. When there is indiges-
ton there is an improper ASST
initiation of food, loss of flesh,
and in time a general rundown
condition affecting the whole
nervous system and often caus-
ing disease of various organs.
The American Little Liver
Tablet is the "Best General
Regulator" They act as
general tonic to the stomach
and bowels; nature is simply
aided in doing her work proper
ly and good health results. They
are purely vegetable. Dose:

In case of chronic constipation,
one half to one glass of hot

helpful.

Tablet is as palatable as candy,
it is the remedy par ecellence
for them. They are helpful to
