GporKC surprised his countrjinen, as lie
frequently docs, by denouueing the rail

"another rfTort to hold ut the commu

"The uutlon means to be master In
her orui house," Mr. Mojd Cieoigc de
clared,, "(n just master, a fair 'muster,
a generous-mutter, but always master lu
her own house'
This was naturally accepted as a
proclamation of the premier's view that
the government won a victory over the
strikers. .T. H. Thomas, secretary of
the Nntioual Uniou of Ilnilwayuien and
leader of the recent strike, speaklug at
Albert Hall on Sunday night, dwelt
upon the settlement as a comprbniise,
and yesterday issucil a statement ap
pealing for reconciliation and a burial
of hard feelings. Labor papers appear
to differ with Mr. Thomas as to some
aspects of the strike settlement.
When T.lojd (leorgc makes an Im
portant speech newspapers try to read
between the lines to discover his political
purposes. The general interpretation of
this speech is that the premier lias
broken with labor unions and wants to
draw to his support the middle classes,
who apparentlj tended to troop awa
from him as a result of the recent fierce
campaign upon alleged goerumental
extras agance.
Koberts Accuses Kailnien
George II. Roberts, British food con
troller, Micaking last nigllt, laid the
blame for u break iu the negotiations
on the railwaymen, accusiug them of
adopting "methods of becret diplo
macy" and declaring the settlement of
wage matteis must be taken out of
the hunds ot political officials.
Mr. Hoberts's last point is iu line
with the general sentiment of the
country, us oieed by the newspapers.
A project is afoot for organizing an
executive committee of all sections of
labor to carrj on negotiations with
emplojeis.

remedied. At several statious today
there was displajed a plard which
announced the companies hoped to re

My the Assoeluted Press
London, Oct. S. The government's
Irish policy is lapidly taking shape
under the pressure ot recently developed
circumstances which surprised the
cabinet, says the Dally Mall.
The law ofiiceis of the crown, tin
Dally Mall states, discovered, after
careful examination of the "suspension
act" an act carried during the war
to postpone the operation of the home
rule net that, uuder its terms, the
homo rule act becomes opcratlvo auto
matlcally on the day the peace treaty Is
signed by Turkey, tho last belligerent to
clgn.
It had been generally assumed, the
newspaper adds, that the suspension
act would operate six mouths longer,
when other measures such as the de
fense of the leulm act, would terminate,
but the ruling of the law officers upset
this ,icw.
Will Amend Home Kulo Art
The government, therefore, accord
ing tothc newspaper, is under urgent
necessity of formulating Iiisli proposals
and of tarrjiug them ns mi amendment
and the exclusion, iu all enmities
where TJIstcrmcn predominate, is con
templated. It is expected that the sjstem of
proportional representation reccutlj en
ncted for the Irish municipal elections
will be applied in the elections for the
home-rule Parliament. The possible
coustitiilhm of a senate, designed to
piotect the interests of Pioteitants out
side of Vlster, is being consumed.

Appointment of Mr. Gade by the

When conversation lags,
how ea$i to turn to the EMPIRE for
help in entertaining the guests!
It is a fascinating task
to fit jour entertainment to your
audieiuc to sec them smile and muse
and grow dreamily reminiscent under
the magic spell of harmonious sound.
You have at your beck
and call the wonderful works of the
masters of music in infinite variety,
from the high clear notes of the
famous Prima Donna to the rollicking
rhythm of the latest ragtime song;
from the martial tones of the Military
Band to the lilting melodies of Hawaii.
And what a matchless medium for your enter
tainment is the EMPIRE TALKING MACHINE! An instrument
that gives to any musical selection oh any record a depth and purity
of tone that seems almost impossible for a mere mechanism, perfected
though it be. If vou do not own a phonograph, let us demonstrate
to you what a desirable addition to your home the EMPIRE will be.

Stewart Saves Cost By
Eliminating 600 to 700 Parts
IT means $200 to $300 less in the purchase cost. It means lower
maintenance charges.
There is less dead weight. Not so many parts to wear out or re
quire care and adjustment. Lubrication is' simple. Tire load is less.
Gasoline needs not so great. l
More than 200 lines of business use Stewarts, some with fleets of
fifty or more, some with no other kind of truck in their service. In
five years no Stewart has worn out. Their reliability is constant.
They are economical.
It is proved in 27 countries in all lines of industry, on farm, in lum
ber and mining camps, in cities. Every transportation requirement
that is met with a truck is filled by a Stewart, for there is a model
for every need from ton to the Z ton capacity.
The advantage gained in buying a Stewart at $200 to $300 less than
others is continued in every ton mile of use in reduced operating
costs.

If your child is
under-weight
If nervous, anaemic and thin, better find out
at once how much he weighs. For under
weight means under-nourishment!
One out of every three children is under
nourishedhandicapped by the lack of vitality
You know this means less ability to stand
school-work, less strength to resist disease.
Perhaps it explains why many children are
frail and "spindley" today.
Weigh your child. If he is 42 inches
high, he should weigh 42 pounds (girls, 39 lbs.).
Only' .four pounds below this
means a whole year below
normal and your doctor
should be consulted. He will
locate the trouble and prob
