PEACE OR WAR NOW
RESTING WITH ULSTER.

London, Nov. s. - Members of the
Ulster cabinet have been summoned to
London by their premier, Sir James
Craig, to consider proposals made by
the British Government in Connection
with the Irish negotiations, and Sir
James is to confer further with Pre-
mier Lloyd George on Thursday af-
ternoon. These developments an
nounced officially, are deemed here to
indicate climax in the discussions of
an Irish settlement. The situation is
frankly admitted in official circles to
have reached critical stage.
Success or failure of the peace ne
gotiations now rests with Ulster, in
the opinion of Sim Fein delegates
here, who declare that their proposals
to the British premier with respect to
Ulster are liberal enough to allow of
a settlement if Ulster chooses.

THE EFFICIENT WOMAN.

We hear a great deal nowadays
about the efficiency of women. In the
novels of fifty years ago who ever
heard woman praised for her execu-
tive ability, force land energy, in the
sense that it is used today? The frail
delicate, helpless ideal of womanhood
has passed away. How is it possible
to measure up to the ideals Of modern
womanhood? In the first place, we
must keep our bodies in the best pos
sible condition.
Thousands of women have succeed
ed through daily baths exercise in the
fresh air, and Lydia E. Pinkhams

of female weakness.
