There is ample proof that the masses
in Great Britian were not greatly
stirred by the death of the heir to the
throne. The Miners’ Federation is the
most powerful labor organization in
England. It numbers 200,000 mem-
bers and it controls the votes of several
members of Parliament. The leader
of the federation, himself a member of
Parlinment, sent a message to its an-
nual convention asking for the passage
of resolutions of sympathy with the
Queen and royal family. The conven

to avoid the grip. Once taken with it
the first thing necessary is to goto bed,
take plenty of rest, well covered, until

such as punch. Then don't be in a
