vent Popular Outbreak
When Edict Is Issued.

ROM +. May lathe tiny republic
~ san Marino is no longer the
earthly parid!se i, once was. The
hackwash OF The war has now
reached the moun,aintop near Rim
mi, on the Adriatic coast. where the
twenty square miles o, territory
ruled ny the republic are situated
Expenses have increased to such a
point that tho Grand Council has
been forced 10 break with tho most
cherished tradition OF tho republic by
leryinc the first tax on the citizens
In N" seventeen centuries which tho
little state has existed
Naturally. so grave an innovation
was no, made hastily. The tax. in
deed, has been under consideration
for twelve years. When the measure
was first hroached in 1910. the vio-
lent protests OF the people prevented
1t from receiving a hearing But
the war overcame tho opposition, and
tho bill has now passed by vote OF
u white balls and black halls. Even
SO. the presence of Italian Carabinieri
was all that prevented a popular out
break.
The use ~ these carabinicrl as 20
lice constitute another of san MARI
nos after-war problems. During the
labor troubles In Italy, so many Com
muuists sought refuge in san Mari
no that the Fascist threatened to in
wade the republic. To protect itself,
the republic in 1920 asked the Italian
government 10 lend II twenty cara
hinicri. The italian government was
50 obliging that it not only sent the
police force requested. hut also APP
parcntly completely forgot the trif-
fling favor II had rendered.
The people, fearing that tho cara
hinicri are becoming permanent fix
tire, ar" NOW protesting against the
use of foreign police. y NTH of the
v"tcrs--thc whole population OF san
Marine is i2.02s-it is said. have al
ready signed petitions asking for
their removal.

Chronic Constipation.

There are people who never
have a movement of the bowels
without it is produced by a ca
tharic. Most of them have
brought that condition on them
selves by the use of mineral
waters and strong cathartics
that take too much water out of
the system and aggravate the
disease they are meant to re-
lieve. A mild laxative tonic like
Chamberlain's Tablets affords a
gentle movement of the bowels
that you hardly realize has been

their use is not so likely to be
followed by constipation. Adv.

willie Woodchuck had been up ever

daddy. He had been looking about
at the world, standing on his hind
legs and seeing all there was To see.
For Willie Woodchuck Is very
curious little fellow. He had had "A
fine winters nap. He had slept In his
nice warm burrow all through the
winter and had not once bccp dis
turbed.
He was beginning To think OF veg
etahles and summer food, and he was
watching 10 see what the farmers
about were going to do.
He hadn't stored up food for the
winter the way SO many other animals
had. but he had eaten more and more
during the latter part OF the summer.
And he had become fatter and fnttcr.
"ln fact II he had eaten any more
hardly have moved. and Willie Wood
chuck wanted To move as far as his
winter bed at any rate.
ale had looked about him I'm the
early spring and had Travelled quite
good deal TO find a nice new home.
And he had found n place where he
had fixed up beautiful home.
Mrs. Willie Woodchuck had liked
the big main room ana the little kinds
of balconies or extra rooms they had
built for themselves There Mrs. VII
lie looked after the many little wood.
chuck children.
'They were very helpless Mt first
and she had had To watch them well,
as they slept in their warm nest Of
grasses.
after little while they became
them to go out and play ut the outside
of their hole.
There they would frolic In the
warm spring sunshine and whistle
and call and chatter.
Mother Woodchuck taught them to
fight If they were attacked hut 10
leave creatures alone If they weren't
bothered by them first.
Another name Tor woodchuck fam.
lily Is that of ground hog. Willie
Woodchuck didn't like to be called Ivy
his other name.
But some of his relations did. You
see, there is an old belief that when
the ground hog or woodchuck comes
forth after his winters sleep to look
about him 1t is sign of spring.
an Is the belief that II he can sec
his shadow because Of the sun shining

that more cold weather will follow
and that he then will go back to
sleep for another six weeks or so.
"If he doesn't see his shadow some
people think the spring will come
along rapidly from then on.
"'rhat is what people mean when
they say that the ground hog has
seen his shadow. They mean that
there viii be another six weeks Of
winter and that the ground hog has
gone hack to sleep for those six
weeks.
az they say that he has not seen
his shadow then they say that the
sprlug viii he right along. They be-

spring.
Cow some members of the Ground
Hog family Ike it because they are

there are stories written about them
