THE BONE RULE QUESTION," On the Home Rulo question there is a far more genial atmosphere just now than has prevailed for many months Mr. Winston Churchill and other mem bers of the Government have been holding out to the Ulstermen kome very tolerable copies of the original olive branch, though of course it is doubtful if they will be regarded without suspicion, The sincerity. of the Protestant rebels is also coming in for belated official recognition. Clearly there is less tendency to talk about the Belfast corner boys. This is all to the good, of course, but it is very unlikely indeed that a real agreement will be reached. It is too much like mixing oil sad water. But I fancy that behind all this moderation of language is to be seen the influence of the King.

A BLESSING TO WOMEN.

Weighed in the Balance and not found scanting

Throughout the many stages of woman's life, from peevish girlhood through womanhood, motherhood, to the declin- ing years of old age, there is no better, milder, or more effective medical com pasion to women-folk than Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills. They promote a healthy and regular condition, cleansing and restoring the Bowels, Liver and Kidneys to perfect working order. A few doses occasionally when well, will assure a pure and healthy system. Years ago, Pills were the medicine of the poor only. To-day the efficacy of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills to overcome the common ailments and restore health and happiness to sick and ailing women, has convinced not only the working section of the population, but the wives and daughters of the more wealthy, professional, and independent classes that Dr. Moree's Indian Root Pills are a Great Female Medicine, and are absolute ly indispensable to every lady's boudoir.

They are a perfect Blood Purifier, and a positive and permanent Cure for Biliousness, Indigestion, Constipation.

Headaches, Sallow Complexion, Liver and Kidney Troubles, Piles, Pimples, Boils and Blotches, and for Female Ailments.
