WHAT EVERY WOMAfi KNOWS.

" A man ought to see the play half a dozen times before he is allowed to open his mouth in praise or blame. l\Io t women could see ten minutes of it and know that it was good and true.

"A woman who i-; not thrilled by it must have missed her crown.

"That such a play fails t.o show a man something of what the \\·onuer of love and motherhood means to a woman only shows that that man has ne,·er given mue:h thought to the greater things of life. I'm not fond of the • play with a moral' type of entertainm nt; but I hold that this play is pure art': and art never fails to teach.

"WoulU I take a young girl to it? It all depends. It rai es the old question of ' should a girl be told,' and most of us have settled that for our· selves as circumstance· permitted. But if she ha•l been 'told' I should make a point of her seeing the play.

From The India Office. WednE. day E ·ening.

Fuller reports of the arl\·ance up the Tigri:s (Per· sian Gulf region) and the occupation of Ama:-ah show that as a result of the action on Mav 31-Jut1e 1 the -enemy's force, which had been threatening Kurnah for some time, became completely de­moralised.

escape as fa t a;; they could lU mahala.::. and steamer~.

The former surrendered on being overtaken. whil t the Turkish gunboat • arrnan::; · wa::; ::;•mk and the transport lo.ul captured.

Although the strength of the force which arrind at Amarah in the ornel and :-ome .mall launche~ was quite insignificant, the emire garri on, whi".:h, according to the latest information. numbered O\'er 1.000, surrendered, including the Turki h Civil G-overnor of Amaral1, Halim Bey. the commandant of the force recently opp-osing u::; at Kurnah, and

aii Ullah commandant of the two tire briga·lc battalions.

Shortly after our occupation nf Amarah the ad-ranee guard tmopn of Dagha~tani's column, which had hastily retreated from the Kherka Valley, entered the town and were captured.

The" remainder of thi force, e timated at about 2,000, fled, leaving a heavy gun in our hands.

The remnants of the enemy who ha,·e o far escaped capture are retiring in a . tate of c!i.. · organisation, many ha\·ing di:carded their arms.

HU~IAN ELECTRIC SPARK.

Astonishing Official Theory Of Cordite Factory Disaster.

Major A. Cooper-Key, Chief Inspedor of Explo­sivi:!s, attributes the explosion in a cordite factory at Stowmarket on May 10 (when four men were killed) t-o a human electric spark.

One of the duties of the men was to rnb do n by hand the bags of damp cordite paste to re­move gun-cotton dust and water. They wore rubber shoes, which would insulate them from the earth; the bags were of rubber-impregnated f'an­vas, a marked di-electric, and in the case at nov rate of a man with a naturally dry skin, the opera­tion of wiping the bags would undoubtedly ha\ e the effect of generating in his person a statical charge of electricity which might well be suffictent to cause a spark to pass as soon as he ·hould happen to "earth " himself by touching an un­insulated article.

SHAME ON THE --~ SQVABBLIN6 POLITI_ClANS f

THE (,0\-crnment, and more particularly the poJi tic ian , are not setting a good e.·ample to the nation either in disci­

pline or . ·If- acrifice. A very unpleasant affair ha. ari.:-cn over the projected appoint­ment of Ir. Campbell to be the Irish Lord Chancellor. \II the old party feuds are in danger of being stirred up, and there are pos ibilitie of grm·e trouble in Irel· nd if l\Ir. Campbell and his backer~ follo\v the wrong cour~e. \lready much mi ·chief ha been done.

THE facts of .he ca e are . imple. lr. _Campbell is a \'Cry eminent la ·yer, c..nd

a man who enjoy well-merited popularity with his own party. But in the •· '1 ter Rebellion,'' that tragic curtain-~aiser to the Great \Yar, :\fr. Campbell played a part w' ich made him di liked by the vast majority of the Irish people. He was Sir Edward Carson's ally, and he acted with great zeal.

BUT the ,,-ar ,,·ith Germany smothered all these minor affair . Instead of disputing

over political problems we were suddenly confronted \Yith the task of fighting for our very lives. It \Yould have been criminal, suicidal, to keep up these internal squabbles when the Germans we1e marching tQ destroy us. After the first shock we hoped that the \var w~uld settle many of the distressing internal troubles which were . sapping our energy. It was recognised that the very squabbling of our politicians had been one of the factors which induced Germany to strike. The Germans reckoned on revolution in Ireland and dissension and weakness in England serving as causes which would adversely affect u in war.

TO the honour of the British and Irish peoples the German calculations failed

utterly, and the war proved that the whole British Empire was solidly united. The blood sacrifices of the Irish soldiers in this war are the best indication of the loyalty of the country, and any student of the deplor­able history of past British misgovernment in Ireland "·ill agree that the Irish race have risen to a great height of nobility in this ·war.

THE appointment of Mr. Campbell to be the chief law officer in Ireland endangers

all this new growth of Irish loyalty. How l\Ir. Asquith an the Governll)Cnt in the first place could have named him for the post is a mystery. It is an amazing instance of tact­lessness. But if the supporters of l\Ir. Camp­bell insist on forcing him upon the Irish people they will be ·responsible for taking great risks with the national safetv. TI-IIS is no time for squ~bbling. During the

term of the war a private in the l\Iunster Fusiliers is of more importance to the British Empire than any Lord Chancellor of Ireland. \\ e. cou~d do without the entire p.ack of legal lummanes, but we must have Insh soldiers. I hope before this war is over the British public will adjust its views with regard to politicians and lawyer-politicians. Both are luxuries. \\. e have far too many of them, and thev absorb an enormous amount of our money.~ \\ ith all their brilliancy the lawyers have not saved this country from getting into disgraceful muddles, political and other­wi e. As this latest squabble for place shows, they are not e\·en helping the country to win. FRO~! wl{at \ve know of Mr. Campbell I

fancv that he is the Yictim of circum­stances -in this regrettable matter, and I be­lieve that he "·iii do the right thing in spite of his ill-advi ed friends. But the affair should ne,·er have happened. It is another biack mark against the politicians. A-· important duty lies before all the poli-

tlcal parties in bringing this affair to a happy issue. The British public want to get on with the war. \\ e want to feel that the new Government is getting on with the war. If necessary, doge up during the t\·ar the office of the Irish Lord Chancellorship, or pl~ an English lav. yer: there. But get on

Superfluous Hair is delightfully plea.sant and eimple, and is so entire~y different from the messy and burning proeesses hitherto employed, that ladies are strongly advi~d to grasp this opportunity .of permanently ridding themselves of the trouble of Hairy Growths. Tlwusands of ladies have been treated by means of " DuYenette," and one and all ~ee that the results are truly delightful. To feel oneself free for ever from the a.ffiiction of Hair on the Face is worth much, but when, in &ddition to this blessing, it is realised that "Duvenette" has brought about an incredible improvement in the J!kin and complexion, removing various spots and blemishes, my patrons are at a loss for suitable words to express their gratification and pleasure.

and a skin free from hairy growths are the greatest charms of youth. They right­fully belong to every woman till long after middle age is passed. Superfluous Hair and n. poor complexion un- 1 doubtedly add very

1 much to a woman's apparent age, besides

making ner look unnatural and coarse. If you are middle-aged or elderly, and have been

troubled with hair on the faoo for yeare, your case is just as curable as if you had only lately detected the tendency.

On :May 29, 1903, )ir. J. Smith, of 16, Ruthin-road, Westcombe Park, Blackheath, London: S.E., said:-" Following inflamma· tion of the kidneys I was subject to lumbago and severe pains across the small of my back. There was difficulty in relieving the kidneys and the water was disordered and unnatural.

"Doan's Backache Kidnev Pills succeeded where medical treatment failed, and by the time I had taken two boxes the pains had completely disappeared and the water trouble was put right.

(Sjgned) "J. Smith.''

-- t 2 YEARS LATER. --! On February 5, 1915, Mr. i Smith said:-" To Doan's Pills ! I owe twelve years of good

I. health, for there has been no return of kidney complaint."

The reason why Doan·s cures last is because Doan's Pills heal, strengthen, and keep the kidneys actiYe and well, thus cunng the kidney weakness-the actual cause of:-Rheumatism, Lumbago, Inflamed Bladder, Stone, Gravel, Sciatica, Dropsy, and other Uric Acid and Blood diseases.

Good News for Fat People.

A~ London chemist· says: " The latest method of reducing obesity certainly is far more pleasant and convenient than all previous methods. It consists merely in eating clynol berries. The fat person who wants to reduce without the usual rigid diet, exercise, sweating baths, etc., now puts a few of these little brown berries in his or her pocket and eats three or four each day. '!hey are extremely pleasant to the taste, having a flavour very much like peppermint.

Clynol berries not only eliminate fat fron,1 the body, but also correct the tendency, which IS usually constitutional, to create fatty matter. No discomfort whatever is caused by their action, in fact except for the loss of superfluous fat and the feeling of "fitness " so created, you would not ~e awa re that these little berries were doing the~r work.

Local enqtliry shows that clynol berries are n<?~ at all well known in England, but the demand l:'l increasing daily, and any chemist can quickly pro­cure them if specially requested to do S?· Averaged over a period of two months it is estimated that each berry eaten eliminates 30 grammes of fat from the body.
