In fact, Mr.. Griffith had responded
to his treatment so well that he was
able to leave the hospital daily for
hts official duties, returning to tho
Institution at night.
This morning he ate u hearty
breakfast, and was going upstairs
when he suddenly collapsed. He was
carried into his room and u doctor
was Immediately summoned. He said
Mr.. Griffith was suffering from a
cerebral hemorrhage. A priest was
then sent for. and he had just finished
administering the last rites Of the
church when Mr.. Griffith expired.
DUBLIN, Aug. II (Associated
Press).-The sudden death of Arthur
Griffith, President of the Dali
Eireann Cabinet, which occurred here
early to-day, followed gradual
weakening of his physical reserve,
believed to have been caused by the
strain of his experiences during the
period of terror" preceding the truce
with England, the long and arduous
negotiations with the British Gov
ernment, and the heavy work entailed
in connection with setting up the
Free State Government.
Commenting upon his death to-day
prominent Free Slater said:
"Ireland has suffered an immeas
urable loss. As Michael Collins is the
sword of the movement for free
and independent Ireland, so Griffith
was its brain"
Mr.. Grifiith's physicians had
strongly urged him to take a holiday,
but he insisted on remaining at his
post, saying the urgent requirements
of the country did not permit his
leaving. One of the doctors said Mr..
Griffith had not had holiday for
years.
"If ever there was martyr to
duty, 1t was he" said the doctors.
Arthur Griffith was the founder .of
the Sim Fein movement and his cleo
tion by the Dali Eireann as Chief Ex-
ecutive of the Free State OF Ireland
was in recognition of his lead in direct
ing the affairs of that organization.
Formerly he was an editor in Dub
lin and he first attracted attention 20
himself by his uncompromising atti-
tude for ahstention by Irish members
from attending the sessions of the
British Parliament at Westminster. II
was this idea that formed the nucleus
OF the Sim Fein organization, which
took the place of the Irish Nationalist
movement.
Grifith made ample opportunity for
the expression OF his views by estab-
fishing the newspaper, United Irish
man, and afterward the Sim Fein
and the Nationality.
He was elected in October, 1917, 10
be presiding officer ut the opening OF
the Sim Fein conference at DubliI
Later he was nominated as the Sinl
Fein delegate from East CaVan. With.
the Peace Conference was in sessios
at Paris he was chosen as delegate b,
go To the French capital and present
to the conference the Irish cawR.
Failure to obtain safe conduct, how
ever. prevented his attendance.

oIdtimer DepIores Fact That the
Dainty Seems to Have Gons
Out Of Fashion.

When I was boy I was very fond
of succotash, and down in New Eng
land years ago we were told that it
was made as the Indians made it, just
pole beans and corn boiled together,
and maybe it wasn't good!
y In travelling around the country at
various hotels l often ask for succo-
fash especially at this season of the
year when the beans and corn are
just right, but what offerings are
placed before me under the name of
succotash!
In many parts of the country lima
beans are used in making succotash
but don't think the Indians new
anything about lima beans.
Succotash, johnnycake, hoecake, ap.
pie turnovers, frizzled beef. do you
remember them?-From a Letter to

A woman had annoyed many people

though she had been told to get in

two tickets and had obtained them at

Chef Had Plenty
But He Could
Hardly Eat

Even an expert chef for an up-to-
date restaurant, with everything heart
could wish in the eating line and the
skill to prepare it in the most appetiz-
ing manner, finds life miserable and
work burden with his appetite gone
and his health all broken up on ac-
count Of stomach trouble.
According to his own statement,
such had been the case for two years
with William Lackey, 1865 North Wells
St., Chicago, Ill.,, chef at popular
North Clark st. restaurant, who says
he recently found relief by taking
Tanlac.
Mr.. Lackey now boasts of "won-
derful appetite and stomach that
digests such things as ham and eggs,
corned beef and cabbage, and rich pas.
tries, foods that would have almost
put me out Of commission before
took Tanlac."
"Before ran across this medicine,' u
said he, II was having to lay off from
my work for week at time just
on account Of the numerous Ills l suf.
fered from Indigestion. But when
tell you I have gained fifteen pounds
eat and digest anything, and am or
the job every day feeling fine, you may
know how l appreciate Tanlac."
