I MB HALDANE. j .. Mr Haldanef officially known as the Minister for War, but in practice the Government’s Minister of Words, is the little Gladstone of modern politics. Week, after week, month after month, ho has stumped the country, hurling hundreds of thousands of words—military words, fecientific words, and words only to be found in complete at the beads of electors whose single offence is an inclination toward the Radical view in politics. Since Mr Gladstone’s most active days there has been no such irrepressible force going about creating minor convulsions as the well-pre-served Chancery barrister, who reformed the Army with a fountainpen, and has spent the last four months in the country explaining how he did it. Parliament rose the last week in August. Since then Mr Haldane'’ has delivered about sixty speeches, or ten times as many as any other member of the Cabinet except Mr Asquith. When Mr Gladstone had done as much brain work as would kill two ordinary men, he got an axe and smote the trees in Hawardon Park. Mr Haldane chooses the less spectacular method of working off his spare energy by walking to Brighton. j Mr Haldane would like to—fill the dual offices of Prime Minister and Lord Chancellor, and if there were some rapid means of transit between Downing street and Calcutta he would combine them with the Yiceroyalty of India. How does he do it all? For his own part he thinks it is by never losing his temper. His urbanity is not the least striking part of his curious personality. Mr Haldane owns one of the old houses in Queen Anne’s Gate that look mat on St. James’ Park. From here he emerges every morning between six and seven o’clock for a stroll of five or ten miles. Even this phenomenal man must have breakfast. but Mr Haldane saves time by talking business or adding to his store of knowledge over his morning meal. Mr Haldane’s average day at the War Office is from ten o’clock until seven or eight in the evening. His advent in the official dreamland was like the bursting of a tornado over the peaceful village that had never before been disturbed by anything worse than the braying of the local donkey. Nowadays in the War Office clerks remain at their desks as late as four o’clock in the afternoon even in the summer, while the cricket and tennis clubs of the suburbs are in revolt.

We go on clay after day eating ail kinds and classes; of fo-als and forget that the liver needs a little cleansing occasionally. Wc unconsciously expect all our organs to work clay and night, year in and year out, and not to become tired and cornnlamiug. “ Even a worm will turn.” If you really want to be well and keep well, just remember that your sickhoadaehea, your biliousness, your constipation ; flatulency ; sleeplessness ; those hot flushes; bloating alter eating; rumbling of the bowels ; boils and pimples; specks before the eyes, and a score of other symptoms all indicate a tired, over-worked liver. Be reasonable. Give your liver a chance to be well and the complaints will all go as by magic. Take from one half to one teaspoonful of Bte -Flag Liver tee after each meal for a few d a ys.
