NO PEACE FOR IRISH
Free State Prepares for Election and
Republicans Plan Reprisa:s.
By WILLIAM II. BRAYDE,

By WILLIAM II. BRAYDEN.
Special Cable to The San Antonio Light
and the Chicago Daily News.
Copyright, 1898.
Dublin, Jan. 1S.-The peace moves
have all failed. They have been repu-
dated on both sides and a continuance
of the conflict seems inevitable. The
Free State government is preparing its
program for the general election. Its
friends are organizing an effective po-
litical machine and its attention is d.
rected to matters Of vital interest to
the voters.
The land acts of the British parlia-
ment which transferred a great part
of Ireland from the landlords to peas
ant proprietors, left the job unfinished
and many tenants are still taxpayers.
Land purchase is now TO be made COM
pulsory and landlords will be paid for
their estates in stock, the interest on
which will give them their net incomes.
But the more active the government
is in the practical working of the Free
State, the more determined the Repub-
licans are TO prevent it and the only
possible meaning of their destructive
operations is that they hope to bank
rupt the new state before it has time
for consolidation.

HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a
Brisk Purgative With Gallo
tabs, the Purified and Re-
fined Calomel Tablets That
Are Nausealess, Safe and
Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds, coughs,
sore throat and influenza can be de-
pended upon for full effectiveness until
the liver is made thoroughly active.
That is why the first step in the treat
ment is the new, nausealess calomel
tablets called Calotabs, which are free
from the sickening and weakening eff
fects of the old style calomel. Doctors
also point out the fact that an active
liver may go a long way towards pre-
venting influenza and colds and is one
Of the most important factors in en-
aiding the patient to successfully with
stand an attack and ward off pneu-
monia,
One or two Calotabs on the tongue
at bedtime. with a swallow of water
that's all. No salts, no nausea nor
the slightest interference with your
eating, pleasure or work. Next morn
ing your cold has vanished, your liver
is active, your system is purified, and
you are feeling fine, with a hearty
appetite for breakfast. Genuine. Gallo
tabs are sold only in original sealed
packages, price thirty-five cents for
the large, family package: ten cents
for the small, vest pocket size.-Adv.

To Visit All Shrines.
He is trying to visit every Shrine If
the order before the next convention
early in the summer. Up TO the present
he has visited so of the 135 ShrineS
and in doing this has made the trip
from Hawaii to San Francisco seven
times. The present tour in which he
hopes to complete his visits will take
him over the greater part of the North
American continent.
Shreveport, La, is to be the third
stop of the party after leaving here and
il is there that Mr.. McCandless is
planning TO have another meeting with
the board of trustees of the Shrine
Hospital for Crippled Children. At
the present, Mr.. McCandless said, it is
the aim of the Shriners TO treat every
poor crippled child in the country. He
told Of the proposal made by w. Free

four years ago that the order should
devote its time and energies to the es-

To Erect Ten Hospitals.
At first it seemed too much Of an
he said. However, it was
decided to go into the work and plans
were drawn up for the erection of ten
large hospitals Nine of these are to
be in the United States and one in
Canada. each to cost approximately
100000. Five of the buildings are
under construction, he said. three of
them to be ready within the next 90
days. These are at San Francisco, st.
Paul and Shreveport. The one at
Shreveport is already being used and
the work Of correcting the deformities
Of poo. children already under way.
The facilities of the hospitals, Mr..
said. are available to every
child under il years of age regardless
Of race, creed. or color, and since they
we're inaugurated primarily for the poor
there will be no charges for treatment.
In summing up the work he said, "The
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine organized

Most of us have enough of the superstttious lurking IN our
brains to make us believe that bad luck is shadownig us on the
days when everything goes wrong.
The simple truth is, our nerves are on edge, propaply que
to something we ate the day before, or to our plood pressure
being too low or too high.
Life at such times seems more aggravatlng thah usual
But the trouble is in ourselves, not in life or the people we

"a hangover. All of us at times feel the same way, without
any preliminary debauch.
We have simply lost control of our nerve force. The pipes
are leaking, eager to explode.
What can we do about it? Well, for one thing, we can
keep ourselves under control by a determination to main.

sHANTIEs TO BE REMOVED

The decision of the aldermen to remove the shanties placed
at some of the busy corners Of the city for the traffic officers is
wise. While they have some advantage in afording protection
for the policeman in stormy weather, the obstruction to traffic
and the added congestion at corners where streets are all too mar
row at best, more than offset the advantages. Besides, to have
the shanties remain in the middle Of the street and not use them
is more confusing than to have no traffic regulation at all.
The idea of having a go and "stop" signal, however, is
good. Traffic everywhere is becoming accustomed to this method
Of regulation and it has many advantages. With a simple post
IN the center of the street where the officer in charge can turn it,
and, at the same time, be out in the open ready for any emergency.
much would be accomplished in simplifying the movement of traf-
&c in this city.
The shanties are anything but ornamental. They are neon
venient for those passing through the city who desire to ask the
officer inside for information, and they make the officer practical
Nv useless except to turn the lever back and forth. The police
man with a simple ''go' and stop signal in the middle of the
street is much more satisfactory, and even the policemen them
solves will find it more comfortable this summer than being cooped
up in such a tiny space all day. The sooner the shanties are re
moved the better.

1t is generally known that there

the why and wherefore of this. 1t
also is measuring the labor turn

turnover in other industries en-

It is going into the question as to
whether miners generally work all
the time they have opportunity to
work or indulge themselves in vac
atoms that are not forced.

the production, transportation and
