That seems to represenat the -atti- tude of the Government after the bootless' conference •6n Thursday be- tween Premier Lloyd George and the representatives of ,the Minere' Federa- tion. The 'miners insisted that the Government and owners must agree to the establishnmeht of a national /wages 'board and the 'peeling of pro- fits before the question of rates of wages could be taken up. They also rook the p„ I:ition that they would not 'hinder the minas from flooding w•h(le negotiations were aging on, holding such n proceeding would amount to ' helping the owners to, fight the nin- ers. This attitude was taken as prac- tically a demand for, surrender, not :end by the owners but by the•Govern- � Y .lent.

The mediation by the Government has diselorec1 the ,bitter, uncompromis- ing spirit of the men's leaders and the equal detertnination of the Cabinet not to concede the demand of the miners that they have their•pay kept up out of taxation, which the dele- gates now insist is an essential con- dition of the settlem� t die t :Textile work- ers electricians and other import -ant sections of labor, areileginning' to take up . a position of solidarity with the miners.': Sir Thomas, White "Former Minister of Finance, who has -resigned his seat in the Dominion House.

The train was searched later, but the box had disappeared - "lhis cap- sule represents r1 � ' n � n 1_ � 'ln p 1 c ca , the radium owned in Chicago.

There are few complaints more common thanhemorrhoids, `commonly called piles,. and scarcely any whibh cause more trouble and misery. Piles - are divided into three classes; t.e., itching, protruding and bleeding, and consist in a tallness of blood and languid circulation in the portion of the lower, bowel or rectum. The chief causes of piles are con- stipation, straining at stool and : the using of drastic purgatives. This latter we would very strongly advise against as these strong purgatives, especially those containing calomel and other mineral drugs are too strong for the average person's bowels. A mild laxative will do more to correct this trouble than anything else,' and this you will find in Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills, ap ill that • is purely vegetable, small and easy to take, - d ,pe,�and does not grt,Zveaken or sicken.
