May 6.—Germany's peace emissary, says the Daily Mail, has been busily working here, but has made no progress. There is reason to believe, it says, that the German agent who, has been reported to be a Dutch financier, returns to Ger many with an unfavorable report. comes more and more aggravated and finally reaches down into the lungs, and everyone recognizes the alarming condition that results when the lungs are affected. Thus Catarrh may be the forerunner of that most dreaded and hopeless of all diseases, consumption. No local treatment rfffords perma nent relief. Experience has taught that S. S. S. is the one remedy which attacks the disease at its source, the blood, and produces sat isfactory results in even the wo'rst cases. Catarrh sufferers are urged to give S. S. S. a thorough trial.

Denny O'Neil In a speech near Scranton on Saturday, that he wants Attorney General Francis Shunk Brown to be his at torney general if he wins, has co ated much talk. Mr. Brown was urged to run for Governor but refus ed. If he should remain in poli tics, it would mean, In the minds of many here, that he would some day be our candidate for the high office two of his grandfather's filled. An other view of the O'Neil declaration Is that the crafty commissioner wants the impression to get about that Mr. Brown, who Is very close to the Vares, is to stay with him and that he would not do if the Varrs were not for him. Senator Penrose was bombarded from a dozen places in Lackawanna County by O'Neil, Brown and the Governor on Saturday. Mr. O'Neil closed his day with three meetings in Scranton and Dunmore, after having spoken at meetings in PecH ville, Jermyn and Carbondale earlier in the day, renewing his promise to wage war "relentlessly on Penrose and Penroseism." Speaking at the Carbondale meet ing, Attorney General Brown charg ed to Penrose and his adherants in the State Senate that they were at all times opposed to the enactment of the child labor law and the work men's compensation law. Brown also accused the Penrose interests of attempting to play politics in the disbursement of the $2,000,000 fund appropriated by the last session of the Legislature for the protection of Pennsylvania during the period of war. Senator Sproul, he accused, of being a party to this scheme. Governor Brumbaugh and his party arrived in Scranton by motor from Wilkes-Barre and visited the scene of the fatal mine cave at Pitts ton. and also stopped at Taylor, where several speeches were deliv ered. Governor Brumbaugh, O'Neil, Scott and Attorney General Brown were the speakers, all touching on the mine cave legislation. Mr. O'Neil said: "I pledge you my word of honor that if elected Gover nor I will see that the people of the anthracite region get a square deal on your biggest and most vital issue—the mine problem. If I am elected I will have Prank Brown as my attorney General and we will go -the limit to solve this problem for you," and the candidate's re marks won cheers. Governor Brumbaugh declared the last mine cave bill was smoth ered in committee by men in the Legislature who were enemies of the people of Lackawanna Valley. "They knew I would sign it if it j came to my desk and that is why it died In the hands of the committee," he said. Marshal French Is Ireland's New Lord Lieutenant I.ondnn. May 6.—Field Marshal Viscount French has been appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The official announcement of the appointment of Field Marshal French as Lord Lieutenant and Ed ward Shortt, member of the House of Commons for Newcastle-on-the- Tyne, as Chief Secretary of Ireland, was issued last night. Lord French succeeds Baron Wlmborne, who was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1915, serv ing to May. 1916, and reappointed the following August to that post, after the Dublin revolt. In connec tion with that uprising Lord Wim borne gave testimony before the in vestigating commission, which later absolved him from responsibility for the outbreak. Field Marshal Viscount French of Ypres was commander-in-chief of the British expeditionary forces in France and Belgium at the outbreak of the war, in August, 1914, until the end of 1915. In January, 1916, he was appointed commander-in-chief of the home forces. He is a Knight of the Most Illustrious Order of St. Patrick. Viscount French, as commander in-chief of the home forces since 1915, has made frequent visits to Irelan'd under the defense of the realm a:ct. In previous agitations he has taken a chief part in restoring order. It was his guarantee in March, 1914, to the army officers in Ireland that they would not be required to serve against Ulster, which the As quith government repudiated, that forced his resignation as chief of the general staff. Conditions in the Brit ish army and in Ulster as then re vealed are considered one of Ger many's reasons in forcing the war when she did. Viscount French was appointed colonel of the Irish Guards in 1916, and is colonel-in chief of the Royal Irish regiment. |An Inside Bath jl | Makes You Look j: and Feel Fresh! Baya a glass of hot water wlthl phosphate before breakfast keeps Illness away. This excellent, common-sens* ; health measure being adopted by millions. Physicians the world over recom mend the inside bath, claiming this is of vastly more importance than outside cleanliness, because the sk'.n pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing ill health, while the pores in the ten yards of bowels do. Men and women are urged to drink each morning, before break fast a* glass of hot water with a tea spoon of limestone phosphate in it, as a harmless means of helping to wash from the stomach, liver, kid neys and bowels the previous day's indigestible material, poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Just as soap and hot water cleanse and freshen the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the eliminative organs. "Those who wake up with a bad breath, coated tongue, nasty taste or have a dull, aching head, sallow complexion, acid stomach; others who are subject to bilious attacks or constipation, should obtain a quar ter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store. This will cost verv little but is sufficient to demonstrate the value of inside buthing. Those who continue It each morning are assured of pronounced results, both in regard to health and appearance.
