No Truce with Republic1 LONDON, Dee. 19.—Father O'- "Flanagan, vice-president of the Sinn "Fein, who has been in correspond- once 'with tho British prlmo minister regarding a truce In Ireland, has , replied to Lloyd George's latest message, In which tho prime minister re- ^."gretted that the door had" been cloaked "to those counsels of good will, which you invoked at the beginning - of this correspondence." In his rejoinder,. Father 0"Flana- gan says: '■' "Wo agree that two things are desirable, first, peace, then conciliation. It is only necessary for your government to* cease to violate your own constitution in your attack on the liberty of tho Irish people."

I "have not thereby closed the door, though I may have discovered It closed, when I thought to have it ■found open." 'Father O'Flanagan's previous message read: . "While sending, through a message,' peace and good will to tho people of Ireland, your government has Intensified their fiendish attacks upon our lives, our liberty and our property. "If you really wish for peace, al- 3ow. th'e constitution adopted by the Irish people at thu last general election to perforin its legitimate functions, and acts of violence will soon become as. rare In Ireland as1 in any •.of tho most peaceful tuitions of tho world, Then arrange the terms of a .treaty by direct, negotiations with tho official head of the Irish nation ..President Do Valera.

You now imply in your Judgment, tho .onlyi road to peace is tho recognition of an Irish republic and .the negotiation of a treaty with . some one you designate ,as tlie official'head and president of that re- •public, .*'''*" ' "I have never failed to make it clear that there Is no possibility of a settlement so lung as the Sinn Fein demands an Irisl* republic, and that, though I am willing to explore every avenue toward an honorable constitutional settlement, there Is ho road to peace so long as the Sinn Fein persists in trying to compel any settlement by means of assassination and violence. The only way to peace' Is that the leaders of the Sinn Fein should recognize these fundamental facts; their present policy is only leading Ireland ever nearer the chaos and ruin. "I deeply regret that you should ■close tho door to those counsels of good wiih which you Invoked at tho beginning of this correspondence." IS ABOARD AQUITANIA BULLETIN, LONDON, Doc.""

The day's record of crime was marked by Sunday ..calm. Outside of the routine of pet ley thievery, burglary and minor assaults, few serious orimes were reported.

Industrial Unemployment " Is Reason Thc predominating reason for tho step lake nby thu government, it is intimated, was the great unemployment in the industries, directly and indirectly affected by the luxury taxes. The evidence on tins point, it is stated, had disclosed a very serious state of affairs. Many Important industries are completely shut down, while others have laid off large numbers of employees due to lack of orders, a condition brought about largely by the idea generally held by the-, public that this* method of taxation was intend- ed to be of a temporary character and must, souiVes or later, bo abolished- ■ '.With this idea in mind, tho public had practically stopped buying, "wjitli the result that facturles in many special lines could not operate and tneir organizations were seriously dislocated. it appeared to the government, therefore, that immediate ■ actionf was necessary in the interests of employees, manufacturers and the general public.

TAKE CARE OF THAT COUGH Some-people get a nasty cough and don't pay much attention to i*t, saying,. "Oh, It will wear awuy in* a short time," but while it may wear off. serious injury may have been done to the lungs and respiratory organs by Uie prolonged, harsh, racking coughing. On the first sign of a cough or cold get a bottle of Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. It will stop that nasty, troublesome cough, ease tlie tightness across the chest and loosen the phlegm. Mrs, Wm, Earnshaw,' Asple'y, Ont., writes*—"Last winter I caught a bad cold, had a sore throat and a terrible hacking cough that I could not get rid of. I could not sleep at night. I tried quite a few remedies, but they did not do me much good until I got Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. By the time I 'had taken two bottles, my cough was all gone. I feel that "Dr. Wood's" has no equal. When you get Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, you are not experimenting with . new and untried remedy, but one that has a reputation extending over thirty years.

They followed their drill With a laughable relay race known as "Skin the Snake." The first man, passing his left hand between his legs, grasped the second man by the right hand, and similarly each man grasped his neighbor's all down the line Working their way backward straddling tbe snake, the two competing teams caused round after round of laughing applause with their hurried, ungraceful antics. The Junior boys,' in a fancy dum- bell drill, created a fine impression, as did the high school girls in, a well executed wand drill. Both did much credit to their trainer. Two other events that were heartily applauded were an illuminated club swinging exhibition, aijd nifty" thrce-tpijnd exhibition of the manly art, staged by Hector Mc Kenzic and W. Waldlev A lot of humorous; nonsense was interjected by Maurice Walley and Jim Notman, two clowns bearing a roving commission. Of all thc series, the basketball game between the Molars and the ;Spark Plugs was perhaps the most exciting. It had the fans standing up-and screaming their delight or chagrin, all through as the Molars piled up a huge score in excess of the Spark. Plugs. vrTho scoring was not a fair indication of the . play, however, a.s tho superior weight of the. Molars' guards had much to do with their victory- The shooting of Morris for the Molars was n wonder. He contributed eight field. goals and scored five free thrown, out of six.- For the Spark Plus, Ferguson at cen ter, and. Walley ahd Curran, on the forward line, played good ball.

But the dis trict did not participate to any marked extent in the boom conditions which ruled in other parts of the country. Progress was less hectic, more permanent. Now Kootenay and Boundary is not suffering from depression as acutely as those districts which were affected to such an extent by war and immediate post-war activities. Kootenay and Boundary conditions suffered less from inflation and now they are suffering less from deflation. That is one of the great advantages this territory enjoys from a business viewpoint and from the viewpoint of those who are employed in industries.

The present lot is on the run; Into the discard they must go, We now must pick another bunch. The process may be painful—slow; Por somehow we have got a hunch Good aldermen are hard to grow. Our mayor must be a diplomat— All civic matters he must know, Or we'll be left to hold the hat, While slick promoters tako our dough. His manners must be smooth but firm, His speech be dignified and clear; Neath problems difficult ne'er squirm; And devious courses never steer. Our Aldermen must all be keen, Good business men, nnd full of zest, For Nelson's welfare, 'twill bo seen, Demands of them their very best. So now there's nought to do but wait With all the patience that we may, Until we see the civic slate, And pick our choice on 'lection day. —NELSON LYRICAL SYNDICATE And THE LITTLE HOUSE M. S. Burt.

Page 7*1 Special Representative Tells Why It Has Become Most Talked of Medicine in the World Today. NO GREAT MYSTERY ABOUT IT, HE SAYS Merit Alone Has Confirmed It in the Minds of the People All Over the American Continent. H. M. Robberg, apecliil reproaenl- ative in British Columbia for Tanlac, the medicine that has created such a sensation all over the United States and Canada, gives some highly Interesting facts about Tanlac and the remarkable results achieved by it. "Contrary to popular opinion," he slated, "there ia no great mystery about Tanlac, except, in so far as the chemistry of the human body itself and what it does with substances taken into it, is a mystery. Some of the ingredients of Tanlac have boen known and used as medicines for centuries. Others are of more recent discovery, but every one of them *is of recognized therapeutic value and used by the medical profession everywhere- Tanlac is simply a co-mingling of these medicinal elements in a way hitherto unknown und which brings out their curative und recouHtructivc powers to a most remarkable degree. Briefly, It allays irritation of thc stomach, strengthens the digestive and assimilative organs, builds up and revitalizes tho whole system,1 and gives the body new powers of resistance and strength. Gratifying gains in weight are not uncommon, especially where a person has suffered from under-nourishment brtmght on by dyspesia, indigestion, Illness, operation or other causes. "It is a demonstrated fact In medical science that the stomach is the starting point of most of the ills that afflict the human body, and many of the so-called diseases are not diseases at all, but reflex symptoms of the .stomach dearangements of the weakened condition of the body that naturally follows. Some kinds of rheumatism, gastritis, pal pitation, nervousness, kidney disorders and liver compyints are among the more common troubles developed through the stomach- Scores of other diseases have been traced to the same source. 'Tanlac was made especially to overcome these stomach complaints and the various so-called diseases and symptoms that follow them, but the astonishing reconstructive powers revealed by it have not only astonished the general public, but havo somewhat surprised even the originators of tha medicine themselves, Thousands of letters roach the Tanlac offices from all parts of North America telling of remarkable results dervled by people who have suffered for years without being able heretofore to find relief. "Naturally the tremendous popularity of Tanlac grows steadily instead of diminishing and can be explained in only one way—merit. Its remarkable restorative effects seem lo be more permanent than hitherto believed possible.* Thousands of persons who took it when it was first Introduced five years ago report that they are still enjoying excellent health, and millions of American homes are now using Tanlac as the family medicine after having first tried it out thoroughly." Tanlac la sold in Nelson by Canada Drug & Book Store, and by the leading druggist In every town. Advt BACKS HIMSELF TO BEAT WILSOX ST.

LONDON, Dec. 18.—(Canadian Associated Press)—The first division of the Association Football league waa the only one have a full program on Saturday owing to some towus in the other divisions being engaged in the sixth qualifying xound of the association cup. The draw takes place tomorrow, when Saturday's twelve tie winners and 52 exempted' league clubs will provide VI games. The Tottenham versus Bolton game will provide ono of the best seen in London in the present season. The Bolton team showed scarcely a weak point but was overwhelmed by Tottenham's splendid forward work. All the goals were scored through Cantrell, Dlmmerick and Bliss before Bolton, taking advantage of a slight easing up, scored theirs through Smith and Rowley. Chelsea had an easy victory over Bradford, who were without the services of Turnbull. Chelsea owed much to the brilliance of Crow, and Ward, but Bradford's defense was very cumbersome. The Arsenal held its own against Bradford City up to half time, thanks chiefly to the combination between Pagnum and Blythe, but the home team deserved to win on the quality of their play. Cardiff, the leaders of the second division, proved a well balanced team against Bury. Their goals were scored by Gill and Cahore, with Bullock scoring for Bury. Fullham snatched . victory from Stoke literally at the last minute, through Hall, the earlier'goal being scored by Cook. Notts, through Dolphin and Wid- owsou, registered one of the smallest wins of the season against Blackpool, who are usually hard to beat at home. Crystal Palace were penned in their own quarters during the first half and the Hangers fully deserved their' 3 to 0 victory for the team did wonders on the heavy ground. The most important match iu the cup tie program was tiiat between Clapton and Portvale, In which the play was full of incident. Clapton was more aggressive throughout, SmltH scoring iO minutes after the interval. Snow prevented good football iu a few scattered places.
