Piles


Can't Be Cured From the Outside
External treatments seldom cure
Piles.
Nor do surgical operations.
- The cause is inSide-bad circulation.
The blood is stagnant, the veins
tiabby.
The bowel walls are weak, the parts
almost dead.
To quickly and safely rid yourself of
piles you must free the circulation
send fresh current through the stag
nant pools. Internal treatment is the
one safe method. Ointments and cut
ting won't do it.
J. S. Lecnhardt. NJ. D., specialist,
set at work some years ago to find a
real internal remedy for piles. He
succeeded. He named his prescription
HEM-ROID, and tried it in 1000 cases
before he was satisfied. Now HEM
ROID is sold by druggists everywhere
under guarantee. 1t is a harmless
tablet, easy to take, and can always
be found at Fletcher's Drug Store and
druggists everywhere, who will gladly
refund the purchase price to any dis
satisfied customer-Adv.

PEACE PACT Is
DRAFTED, IRISH
FUTURE BRIGHT
Surrender of Republic for
Home Rule" Seems
Likely.

LONDON. Nov. 3.-The final set
Element of the Irish question. which
has been a bitter controversy for
centuries, hinged today upon the
official acceptance of the Sim Fem
of the dominion plan for Ireland
From Sim Fem sources at the
peace parley here, it is learned that
the Sim Fem have agreed to a set
Element on the following basis:
dominion status for Ireland
2-Ireland will owe allegiance
to the king on condition that the
country is a unit and not divided in
autonomy with co-ordinated parlia-
ments in Dublin and Belfast.
S.-Tyrone and Fermanagh coun-
ties and part of Don Engal county
ince.
Give up Republic Demand?
There is every ground for belief
that the Sim F'ein has consented to
give up it's demand for an Irish re-
public on condition her other re-
quests are granted.
Sir James Craig will leave Belfast
toniG ut, arriving in London Friday.
1t is understood that Premier
Lloyd George will make formal pro-
posal Friday that a plebiscite be
held in Fermanagh and Tyrone
counties.
The British cabinet has sent a
note to the Ulster government ask
ing them to approve of the plan for
a plebescite which has been suggest
and Tyrone. An Official agreement
is now, according to official sources,
near to final completion, and the
rough draft Of the provisions has al
ready been submitted TO the parley
members
Before the agreement can be put
into effect, however, the consent OF
the Ulster government is necessary,
and it is for this reason that Sir
Craig is making his trip TO Belfast
today. That the dominion plan
seems to be the final treaty of
peace" is regarded here as most
probable.
Whether the dominion plan will
provide for one government Of Ire
land or two separate dominions, one
for the Sim Fem and another for
the Ulster faction, is a matter OF
speculation.
A break OF a satisfactory solution
seems more imminent for the near
future than it has yet. The answer
OF the Ulster officials upon the
piebescite plan and the other pro-
visions will play a paramount part
in the final settlement. officials
agreed.

MOVIE KING" SEES
CRITICISM AS SIGN
OF REAL INTEREST
CContinued from page ID


planning about it's motion pictures
we shall become alarmed.
Enter Prohibition.
Criticism has its fads and fancies
just as much as anything else. At
present it is popular to criticise the
motion pictures harshly. In a way
feel that prohibition has had some
thing TO do with this public irri-
liability regarding pictures. People
substituted the motion picture shows
! for the customary drinking diver
sion. And quareled with the films
because they didn't get the same
effect.
There need be no alarm about mo-
ton pictures as long as the makers
strive to interpret life as naturally
as they can. Superficial critics shout
with outraged despair about some
thing in a motion picture not being
REALISTIC. Realism isn't the impor-
tant thing. Naturalism is.
Court room scenes, 1 believe, are
criticised more generally than any
| others in motion pictures. That is
/ because Mr.. and Mrs Audience went
/ to court in a condition of high in
/ terest, when either they or some one
close to them was involved in the
action, and whatever occurred af-
/ fected them wildly. They remem-
| Der how impressed they were with
everything occurring. When they are
not so impressed by a court room
scene in a picture they Immediately
think it is badly done. If any of
! the details are not exactly as they
remember. they think that is the
reason. These few demand detailed
/ realism that would be boring be-
/ yond tolerance 10 the other millions.
The critics should pay more at
tention TO naturalism and less to
realism. They keep running after
rabbits instead of following the fox.
No Art Interest.

thing yet by an American artist
do you suppose if this were done,
the newspapers of this country would
give it three columns on the front
page?
To Awaken America.
Indeed not, and the editors would
be silly to give such a space for if
they did the public would be largely
bored. For people don't care to be
artists and aren't particularly inter
ested in what artists achieve.
But the hero has been changed
from the soldier to the industrial
leader; and think in fifty years. or
perhaps a hundred, America will
awaken TO an appreciation Of art.
When It does. 1 think the golden era
of art will come again for whatever
interests us as a people, that we can
do better than any one else.
Perhaps motion pictures will do
more to stimulate this artistic inter-
est than any other force. One must
remember that our children today,
ten twelve, fourteen years old, have
had more dramatic experience than
all their ancestors combined.
Take your own family. How many
plays each year did your father see,
and his father? Three or four, or
less. And as we go back, the less
plays they saw until in the time OF
the Mosques only one in many years
if ever.
So we have a peculiar condition
in our audiences dramatically
mature audience of youths; and a
dramatically youthful audience OF
adults. With no intent to strain for
