IRISH CONTROL

stir
BritGov't. to Grant Cus-
toms and Excise Control.
k++
Cx tell from London says:-
are.deaia ie concessions to Irish feel-
terfring are likely to he made in the Horne
Rule Bill when it comes up again in
a few weeks' time for consideration,
claese by clause, in committee..
The Government has found that a
Creat deal of opposition to the
measure is based upon its financial
',lames., and i, prepared to modify
thein to meet the views of critics.
One of the chief points on which,
the abortive convention of 1917 broke
down was the iikipossibility at that
time to get the British Government•
to consent to giving Hoene Rule Ire -d
land control of its . customs. The'
When Your Liver
Bocci es Sluggish
Your Bowels
Become Constipated.
Constipation is, without a doubt, the
commonest of all the ills that mankind
idageu iicted with, and one if neglected,
will cause no end of trouble and sickness..
The way to keep yourself in good.
health is to keep the liver active and
wol king properly by the use of Mil -
burn's Laxa-Liver Pills.
Mrs. L. Weinman, OriIlia, Ont.,
writes: -"From a child I was always
very badly constipated, and I can well
remember, when quite young, my mother
giving me sienna tea nearly every morn-
ing, and I got to dread it.
•"After ' jking Milburn's Laxa-Liver
Tills for a while I am not troubled with
constipationany more."
Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills are 25c.

Capt. 14. 0. Hoy, D.P.C., of, 'Van-
couvei, the fist and only man o- y
across the Canadian Rocky Moun-
tains, is to be the first man on the
Pacific coast of Canada to undertake
commercial • flying. His plans, now
being completed, call for flights to
mountain, lake and forest and beauty
spots to enable tourists to see won-
derlands of nature inaccessible except
by air route, and never yet trodden
by the foot of nail.
Government is now prepared to
change its attitude on this point.
As the bill reads to -day the two
new Irish Legislatures will not be
permitted to levy any excise duties
on manufactured articles or customs
duties on account of the risk of Ulster
and South Ireland embarking on a
tariff war, and the only promise held
out to the Irish is that after the two
Legislatures are united, control of the t
customs and excise may be transfer-
red to the new Irish Parliament.
Provided the British Parliament;
agrees, it is now likely that the - Gov-
ernment will consent to an arrange-
ment by which power to levy excise
duties will pass automatically to the
Irish Parliament as soon as it is set
up. Definite pledges may also be in- es
serted in the bill as to the speedy
transfer of control of the customs. ' n

Mies . Mary�Prouee, R.R. No,' 1,

Influenza in November last, and it left
me with a terrible cough. I did not
attend to it until it got so severe people
Warned me it was time to see about it,
I went to the doctor and got some
medicine. He told me it ,was a bad
attack of bronchitis. I could not sleep
and would have to sit nearly all
night, it was so difficult for me to get
my breath. The doctor's medicine did
not seem to be helping me the least bit.
One of our neighbors came in one day,
and told me about Dr. Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup. I tried it and took two
bottles, No person could believe how
it helped me. I have recommended it
to different people since, for I believe I
have reasons for doing so.
Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup has
been on the market for the past 80
years,and stands out by itself as a remedy
for alcoughs and colds.

ARMENIA TO BE
A FREE STATE
Boundaries Defined -Norway
and Sweden to Assist in
Establishment.
A despatch from London says: -
Armenia, as defined by the Supreme
Council at San Remo, consists of the
Republic of Erivan and the vilayets
of Erzerum, Bibles and Van, says a
San Remo despatch to the Daily News.
The Supreme Council has abandoned
the idea of giving the mandate for
Armenia to the League of Nations as
a result of objections raised by the
Council of the League of Nations, and
will ask neutral Norway and Sweden
to help the Armenian people establish
a free state, an international loan be-
ing floated to finance it, says a Havas
despatch from 'San Remo.
Dedeagatch, the important Aegean
port which for so long has been a

Explorer Amundsen
Has Reached .Siberia
A despatch from Nome, Alaska,
soys:-A wireless flash from Anadir,
Siberia, announces the presence there
of Judson Amundsen, the explorer.
The details and manner of his ar-
rival are not given:
The message from Anadir suggests
that the explorer may have reached
that point with a vessel.
Last August Roald Amundsen was
reported to be drifting, in his. ice-
locked schooner Maud, somewhere
north of western Siberia. Nothing
has been heard from Amundsen di-
rectly since September 1, 1918, when
his schooner was reported to be tak-
ing oil for her motors at D.ixsob Is-
, a Wh;te Sea point.
From the White Sea Amundsen ex-
pected to drift east with the ice to
the new Siberian Islands, which lie in
the Arctic off Siberia. At the new
Siberian islands it was believed the
drift would carry him toward, if not
across, the Pole. The explorer is re-
ported to have carried two airplanes
part of his equipment:
He expected to use these if he found
he drift would not carry him across
the "top of the earth."
The rule of the road is to turn to
the right -and the same holds true
morally. -

Question of Canada's
Next Governor-General
A despatch from London says: --
Although it is practically certain that
the Duke of Devonshire will return to
Canada to finish all or part of his
term as Governor-General, some quiet
lobbying has been going on recently
in connection with the appointment of
a successor. A large section of the
London press will have it that the
Earl of Athlone, who; as Duke of
Teck, was practically assured of the
post had it not been for the war, is
to have ,it now. Another name recent-
ly mentioned- is that of the Duke of
Sutherland. It is said .that the Duke
and Duchess would not be averse to a
term as vice-regents. The Duke has
large land interests in Canada, prin-
cipally in Northern British Columbia.
He is young, however, only 32, and
doubt is expressedwhether he would
be a sufficiently solid nominee for
such a position. An appointment
which would meet with more favor
would be that of Lord Byng of Vimy,
tic.
Trial of War Criminals
at Leipzig Being Delayed
A despatch from Leipzig says: -
The preliminary proceedings for the
trial by 'Supreme Court of German
war criminals has begun, but, accord-
ing to The - Neuste Nachrichten, they
are being rendered difficult by the
partly incomplete and partly erron-
eous data supplied by the allied lists
of accused.
The date of the --main trial has not
been fixed. eessi
The preliminaries also' have begun
in the case against Wolfgang Kapp
and Major-General Baron von Luett-
witz and their associates in the recent
uprising, who are charged with high
treason. The mass of evidence in the
case is still increasing.
Cattle Industry in Canada
is Growing.
During the year ended December 31,
1919, Canada's export trade in live
cattle exceeded 500,000 head and was
valued at $50,000,000, or at a sum al-
most equal to the combined values of
live cattle exports during the five pre-
vious fiscal years. Over ninety per
cent. of the exported cattle went into
the United States either as butcher
cattle or as stockers and feeders.
During the same period the domin-
ion exported 112,709,517 pounds of
fresh and pickled beef, valued at $20,-
937,848. The total export value, there:
fore, of the cattle industry during the
calendar year 1919, exclusive .of can-
ned meats, exceeded $70,000,000.
Perfectly Safe. •
A well-dressed and charming young
lady hailed a four -wheeler, since there
was no taxi in sight. Just asshewas
getting in she noticed that the horse
seemed inclined to be frisky: He was
jumping about and swishing his tail
in a way that alarmed her -she was
a timid little thing. So she addressed
a few words to the aged jehu,
"I hope," she said, smiling bravely,
"that you will not run away with me"
The cabman sighed mournfully.
"No, mum," he replied. "I have a
wife and seven ldds at home already."
Death -Defying Professor.
Can a man exist on as little oxygen
as a dog? That is the question an
eminent Cambridge scientist has been
trying to answer. And he has done
so at the risk of his health and even
life.
Normally the air contains about 20.6
per cent. of oxygen, A dog has been
known to live for forty hours in five
per cent. No one could say in what a
man could live, and this Professor Bar-
croft determined to find out.
An airtight glass cage was construct-
ed with two 'compartments, one for
sleeping in, and the - other fitted up
with facilities for writing down his
sensations, and a bicycle on a pedes-
tal for exercise.
This the professor entered, ,ntend-
ing to -remain a week, reducing the
oxygen by the simple process of using
it up. Electric "scrubbers" were used
every few hours to remove the car-
bonic gas,and food was passed in
through double hatchways.
Two people were always on the
watch to make observations, and ready
if necessary to rush in and render arti-
ficial respiration and oxygen. Within
twenty-four hours the oxygen was
down to 163((2 per cent., and matches
would not burn, but the inmate did
not experience very much inconveni-
ence.
He hung on till it reached 5 per
cent., when he was forced to come out
through weakness, a sample of his
blood being taken for further analysis.
It is related of the same professor
that he once told a friend that a cer-
tain gas would kill a dog but not a
man. On the friend maintaining that
it would kill both, he went into a
chamber of it with a dog, and waited
till the dog was dead.
CAILLAUX ACQUITTED
OF HIGH TREASON
Former Premier of France is
Guilty on Lesser Count.
A despatch from Paris says: -
Joseph Caillaux, former Premier of
France, and twice Minister of Fin-
ance, stands convicted of having
placed his personal ambition during
the war higher than the interests of
the country that honored him and
gave him birth. Caillaux, while escap-
ing conviction for high treason, was
found to have been recklessly im-
prudent and very close to treasonable
ambitions, for such is the interpreta-
tion of the verdict of "Guilty of com-
meree and correspondence with the
enemy," which was rendered on
Thursday against him by the French
Senate,
This is the first verdict of the sort
rendered in any of the allied coun-
tries since the war began. "Com -I
coerce," as interpreted by the Sena-
tors who were judges, not meaning
financial trading, but commerce by
means of common ideas, while "cox -1
respondence" in this particular case!
is employed in the sense of associa-
tion.
Skins taken too late in the season!
are given different names by the buy - i
ers. Each name means practically!
the same thing. The most common i
are: "springy'," "overprime," "shed -I
ders," "rubbers," It is a waste to
catch such pelts. Trappers ought to
pull up their sets as soon as any signs
of deterioration are noticed. By doing
this, and obeying the laws, our valu-
able fur -bearing animals will be con-
served.

With the establishment of comma.-
tation. rates, air travel has become
much cheaper on the London -Paris
line. It has been arranged that a
business man in London who goes
often to Paris can buy a season t:eket
for $600. This is good for twelve
trips, saving $12 a trip over the old
rate.
American planes will be used in
aerial transportation lines which are
to be established in Japan, China and
Korea. According to advices re-
ceived by the Aero Club of Ameriea,
a number of the machines which will
be first put into service are to he
shipped to China by a New York
banker.
A dash to the South Pole by air-
plane will be the big feature of the
I British Imperial Antarctic Expedition
which will set out next summer under
the direction of Dr. John L. Cope. The
airplane to be used will be so designed
that it can land on the ice by means
of skids. Three sten will make the
dash for the, Pole from the top of the
great ice barrier at the Bay ,'f
Whales. This ice barrier has peaks
11;000 feet high. The machine will he
fitted with a patented sledge nttesh-
ment which will be used to carry pro-
visions and equipment if anything
happens to prevent the journey being
completed in the air. With a full Ioad
and crew the plane will weigh -12.600
pounds. and will average a speed of
ninety-three miles an hour.
A Letter Froili Lalldoi
It is not generally known that
Princess Mary is quite a good typist,
although she usually prefers to write
her own letters by hand. She keeps
up an animated correspondence with
her brothers. ,rust now the Princess's
greatest desire is to get a trip abroad.
Hitherto she has had rather a stay-

General Sir Arthur Sloggett, our
first Director of Medical Services in
France, can boast of having been shot
through the heart. At the massacre
of Adowa the Abyssinians took large
stores of Italian rifles and ammuni-
tion. Later - on, in a scrap between
Menelik's men and dervishes, a good
deal of this booty again changed
hands. At Omdurman, Sir Arthur,
riding beside the Sirdar, was struck
by one of these Italian bullets, nickel -
cased and of extremely small calibre,
which went clean through the muscle
of his heart and out again. Sir Arthur
was out and about again within -a
few weeks.

Mr. T. P. O'Connor, more than any-
one else, helps to keep alive an old
custom of the House of Commons-
that is, the custom of taking snuff.
Since the time of the Stuarts the chief
messenger at the entrance of the
chamber has kept a large box of
snuff for the use of members. Mr.
Winston Churchill from time to time
helps to maintain the tradition. And
on rare occasions I am told that Mr.
Balfour has delighted its custodian
by patronizing this ancient box and
partaking of a pinch,

Already preparations are being
made for the fifth Aerial Derbe which
will be held at Hendon in the sum-
mer. It will be chiefly interesting
as an index to the advance in speed.
When the first race round London
took place in 1912 T. Sopwith won
with an average speed of sixty miles
an hour. In the two succeeding years
the average rose to between seventy
and eighty miles. Then the great de-
velopment of the aeroplane engine
came: Last year, when the race was
resumed, Captain Gathergood, the
winner, attained -an average speed of
129 miles on the course of 190 miles.

A medical expert discussing the
future the other day suggested that
by 1950 we might well have sanatoria
for consumptive cases established in
the air. Inhis view it is not at all
a fantastic dream to foresee a number
of giant balloons being moored from
the Weald of Kent, to which wards
for tubercular patients would be at-
tached. In the pure air 5,000 feet
above the earth, patients could enjoy
the advantages of Switzerland. The
only difficulty would be the danger of
a strong wind forcing them to make
an unwilling voyage to the Continent.
This danger, of course, - could be
avoided by the balloons being hauled
down at the approach of bad weather,

NO WOMAN
CAN DE STRONG AND WELL
WITH WEAK KIDNEYS.
Women try to bear the daily bordello
of the household, but the continual
stoopping, bending, never ending strain
on the flback, sooner or later, may end in
some form of kidney trouble.
When the back aches or beeotnee
weak it is a warning that the kidneye
are affected it some way, and on the
61st sign of any weakness Doan's Kidney
Pills should be taken, so as to strengthen
the kidneys and prevent some future
