BRITISH CABINET TO STICK Defeated en Home Rule Declines to Quit In Bill Ministry Face of International Crisis. London, Nov. 13.--Following its de­ feat on the amendment to the home rule bill in the house of commons, the government decided Monday that it would set aside precedent and not re­ sign. The government will, therefore, move at an early day for the recom­ mittal of the bill and expects to be victorious, inasmuch as the ballot was a snap vote and was taken on Mon­ day, when many of the supporters of the government had not returned to town from the week ends. The course of the government finds many supporters, the opinion being ' almost unanimous that the cabinet was not actuated in its declining to resign solely by the defeat, but on account of the situation in the Balkan states. The jeopardizing of Ireland's chances af winning self government came, "when an amendment hostile to the measure was put through by a vote of 228 to 106. The question on which the rvote was taken was an amendment to the home rule bill offered by Sir Fred­ erick Banbery, a Conservative, provid­ ing that, in case Ireland proved unable to support herself by local taxation and had to call on the imperial govern­ ment for assistance, the amount be limited to $12,500,000.

Many camps in isolated corners on the shores of the Bosphorus are absolutely without the necessaries of life--no shelter, no fuel and no milk for the innumerable babies.

Men Need Help--Not Charity. There is a higher duty than to build almshouses for the poor, and that is to save men from being degraded to the blighting influence of an alms­ house. Man has a right to something more than bread to keep him from starving. He has a right to the aids and encouragements and culture, by which he may fulfill the destiny of a man, and until society is brought to recognize and reverence this It will continue to groan under its present miseries.--Channlng.

Sir Henry Lucy tells in the Cam- hill Magazine a good story that hs had from Nansen, the explorer. It amusingly illustrates the hardy health of the Laplanders. Part of Nansen's equipment for his trip across Greenland consisted of two sleeping-bags made of undressed skins. On the first night of tho jour­ ney Nansen and his two Norwegian companions got into one of the pulled the mouth tight across their necks, and so slept in the snow with only their headB out Before retiring to rest, Nansen saw the three Laplanders he had engaged for the expedition cozlly tucked into the other sleeping-bag. When ho awoke in the morning, almost numb with cold, he observed that the hag in which he had tied up tho Lapland­ ers was empty, and that they were no­ where in sight. He was afraid they had deserted him, and scrambling out of the bag went in search of them. He found the three men fast asleep behind a hillock of snow that they had scraped together as a pro­ tection against the wind. "Ah, master," they said, when ask­ ed to explain this extraordinary con­ duct, "we couldn't sleep in that thing. It was too hot, so we got out and have had a comfortable night here." TWOULDNT BE LIKE HIM. Mrs. Jones--What did you say to the janitor? Jones--I told him that he conld make some warm friends if he would only turn on a little heat. Quite the Thing. "I told you that if you came tomor­ row morning I .would give you the money for my wash. Why did you come tonight?" said Miss Phills to the daughter of her laundress. "I know you said tomorrow morn- ln\" responded the girl, "but me moth­ er she told me to come tpnight, 'cause she was afraid you might be gone away by tomorrow mornin'." "I certainly should not go without paying my laundry bill," said Miss Phills sharply. "No respectable wom­ an would do such a thing." "Oh, yes, ma'am, they would," re­ plied the child knowingly. "There's lots of respectable ladles does." Enterprising. In a section of Washington, iay« Harper's Magazine, where there are a number of restaurants, one enter­ prising concern has displayed In great illuminated betters, "Open All Night." Next to it was a restaurant bearing with equal prominence the legand: "We Never Close." Third in order was a Chinese laun­ dry, In a little, low-framed, tumble­ down hovel, and upon the front of this building was the Blgn, -in great, scrawling letters: "Me Wakee, Too." Scotch Query. A bluff, consequential gentleman from the south, with more beef on his bones than brain in his head, riding along the Hamilton road, near to Blantyre, asked a herdboy on the roadside, in a tone and manner evi­ dently meant to quiz, if he were "half­ way to Hamilton? "Man," replied the boy, "I wad need to ken whar ye hae come frae, afore I could answer your question."--Exchange. NO MEDICINE But Change of Food Gave Final Relief. Most diseases start in the alimen­ tary canal--stomach and bowels. A great deal of our stomach and bowel troubles come from eating too much starchy and greasy food. The stomach doe3 not digest any of the starchy food we eat--white bread, pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-- these things are digested in the small intestines, and if we eat too much, as most of us do, the organs that should digest this kind or food are overcome by excess of work, so that fermenta* tion, indigestion, and a long train of ails result Too much fat also is hard to digest and this is changed into acids, sour stomach, belching gas, and a bloated, heavy feeling. In these conditions a change from indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will work wonders in not only relieving the distress but in building up a strong digestion, clear brain and steady nerves. . A Wash, wdmah writes: "About five years ago I suffered with bad stomach--dyspepsia, lndigea- tion. constipation--caused, I know now, from overeating starchy and greasy food. "I doctored for .two years without any benefit. The doctor told me there was no cure for me. I could not qtt anything without suffering severe pain in my back and sides, and I be­ came discouraged. "A friend recommended Orape-Nuta and I began to use it In less than two weeks I began to feel better and inside of two months I was a well woman and have been ever since. "I can eat anything I wish with pleasure. We eat Grape-Nuts and cream for breakfast and are very fond of It" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
