n-- TROUBLED WITH. CONSTIPATION FROM 16 TO 20. Constipation is one of the com-| Karl Muck of Boston Caused monest ills of mankind, and one too often allowed to go unlooked after | until some serious complication sets | in. If the bowels are properly looked filter there will bd no constipation, Jaundice, sick or ious headaches, heartburn, coated tongue, sour stom- ach, floating specks before the eyes, ete. ¥ _ Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills will | keep your bowels so regulated that | in no time the constipation will dis- appear entirely, " Miss Emma E. Melanson, Halifax, N.8,, writes: "I am now 20 years of age, and since I was 16 I hate been greatly troubled with constipation, so much so that at times I would be in bed three or four days a month. I tried all the old-fashioned remedies, castor oll, cascara, etc, with only temporary relief until my sister-in- law gave me some of Milburn's Laxa- Liver Pills, From the first they seem- ed beneficial and I gave them a fair trial, This was two years ago, and with an occasional dose I have kept entirely free from constipation for the period mentioned." Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills are 25¢ a vial at all dealers, or mailed dir- ect on receipt of price by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont, A New Shade.

HEWER THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1918. INTHE DISCARD | Storm to Break. EFFECTS ARE FAR-REACHING Americans Find That It Is Impossible to Be Patient and Tolerant With the Teutons Because of Their Arrogance and Their High- Handed Dealings With the Belgian People. HEN the war broke ouf, a great many seutral weit. ers expressed wonder ment at the strong feel- ing against German music and musi- cians thatdimmediately made itself evident, More than one critic in the United States urged that art and' artists possess no nationality. The writers in Canada and England re- plied that such was the case up to a certain point. They said that it was all very well to be tolerant, but the German composers of the present day breathed the spirit of the natton, Their works seemed {o British peo- ple, especially when highly strung by the anxieties of war, to be. stained with the blood of Belgium. As for RHR TO the German musicians, they showed an arrogance that made them impos- sible wherever they were found. In Canada & spirit of patience apd Brit- ish fair play has been exhibited in dealing with Teutonic musicians liv- ing io our midst, and we have only been severe where the Teutons invit- ed attention by their acts or conver- sation. It will interest the people of Can- ada to note that the men and women of the United States have discovered that human beings possessing red blood cannot be at war with a nation things that remind them of the obductor in the iiiddle West was viaced under arrest They cana all | /aapk Dr. Karl Muck for their trou. tes. It was he who started the ball rolling, and now he is trying to save himself by declaring that he is not a German but a Swis, A Bold Promise, In these boreal days of smow and oxcessively low temperatures, in the temperate zones, it is cheering to think of a certain shabby little frame house that stands in Arizona, near the Mexican border, It is a low-' roofed ~ bungalow-shaped affair, a. boarding house masquerading under the proud name of "hotel," It blinks at the adobe world around it through broken windows. But it bears a significant sign warped into curves by the desiccating desert heat: "Free board and lodging every day in the year that the sun 'doesn't shine!" The good cheer comes with the fact that, for five years, the landlord never lost a ceht on the bold promise of the signboard, RRUTAL HUN PIRATES, Often Wait Until Night to Torpedo Their Prey, Queenstown became the headquar ters for refugees from sunken ships. Its streets, already picturesque with soldiers, sailors and Irish peasantry, took on a newy interest from the groups of half-clad submarine vic- tims. In a single day, between mid- night and midnight, the crews of no less than six different vessels wera landea. . Thus it came about that as Amer|- can consul there during the first three years of war, I collected at first band much of the evidence on which America has entered the war, and reduced it to the form of per- manent legal record. My witnesses were American sailors, business men and women who came to the con- sulate straight from the sea at all hours of the day and night with the cries of their dead comrades still ringing in their ears; and their state- ments were checked up privately against one another; and also against one anbther; and also against the depositions of the surviving officers, taken by permission of the British Government, The Germans may say sneeringly that war is not cricket or ping-pong; but I retort that submarining is not even football or pugilism. No game has been invented that its standards have not been cynically violated by the submarines. Business is a rough game, and doubtless the Germans will Justify foul play eith~r by employers or by strikers on that basis; but I say that because any game is a rough game is no reason that it should be a dirty game. In only one of my cases did the Germans tow lifeboats toward land. his was the case of a Scandinavian captain who professed pro-German sentiments.' The submarine did pat- ronizingly tow his boats for an hour or two and then they submerged without warning, so that only the captain's presence of mind in whip ping out his knife and cutting the painter, saved his boats from bein drawn down into the depths. A frequent practice of the Prussian U-boats is intentionally to follow a! ship until dusk before torpedoing it, although since no warning is given in any 'event, the act could have been perpetrated with perfect safety dur- ing the day time. These twilight cases occur with such frequency as to nation. When war was declared by the United States against Germany | last April, there was no sign that the | Americans would place a ban upon German musicians and music. It was the high-handed Teutons that forced the action of the people who guide the musical destiny of the Republic. Karl Muck, the conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, started the trouble when he refused to play "The Star Spangled Banner." This famous conductor allowed his hatreds and prejudices to get the better of him, and he acted in a thoroughly German manner. He tried to excuse himself after the storm burst by say- ing that the American national air was not worthy of a place on a pro- gramme with classic German music, but that only made matters worse, While the controversy was raging in Boston, the directors of the Metropo- litan Opera House, the greatest oper- atic centre on the continent, were discussing the advisability of drop- ping German music from their reper- toire, The trouble in Boston forced their hand, and Wagner and others went into the discard. Then they got a sample of German arrogance. The Hun singers, who had been retained for nine months after the outbreak of the war when 'the America would have been within their hts in interning them, sued for salaries. These two incidents started . a general house-ciganing in Ameri- can musical eireles. 'The Germans were dismissed from the orchestras and similar organizations. and one They Were a Benefit To the Whole Family Y§ OF DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS.
