The Liberal leaders had hoped that a

be effected. The demand-of John Red

iand a crisis In the situation Is belied
to be Imminent. -
Balfour, Then Diasolntion.
Several conferences among the Lib
erals were held today. The fact that
what happened behind closed doors ws
not made public has resulted in a gen
eral prediction that unless Premier An

fice wlthlre three weeks.
A rumor was current today tnat ma
premier was actually preparing hla res
ignation. This, however, was denied
promptly.
Should Asouith reslfrn, is is thought
the premiership would be offered to
Arthur Balfour, a conwrvative. How
long Palfour could retain control if he
accepted is a' matter of conjecture. It
It not thought he could last more than
a ; few ' days, after which parliament
would probably be dissolved. If parlia
ment were dissolved a new election, of
course, would be necessary. In this

How to Make Better Cough
Syrup Than You Can Buy
A full pint of rough syrup
enough to last a family a long
jlme can be made by the recipe
given below in five minutes, for
only 54 cents. Slniph? as it Is.
there 1 nothing better at any
price. It usually stops a deep
seated cough In 24 hours, and Is a
splendid household remedy for
whooping- cough, colds, hoarse
ness, bronchitis, etc.
Take a pint of granulated sugar.
add half pint warm water and stir
about two minutes. Put two and
one half oz. Pinex. in a pint bottle
and fill up with syrup. Take a
teawpoonful every one. two or
three hours. It keeps perfectly
and the taste is pleasing.
The chemical elements of pine
which are very healing to mem
branes, are obtained in high pro
portion In Pinex, the most valu
able concentrated compound of
Norway White Pine Extract. None
of the weaker pine preparations
will work with this recipe. Your
druggist has Pincx or can easily
get it for you.
Strained honey can be used In
stead of the syrup, and make? a
verv fine honey and pine tar

Liberals.
All Lost but the Budget.
I'nder the chaotic, conditions prevail
ing, It' is apparent that the only legis
lation possible is the passage of the
budget. Kven this, although some ac
tion concerning It In view of the dis
turbed condition of business growing
out of the uncertainty surrounding Its
fate, is regarded, as Improbable.
It Is certain now that the budget can
not pass without some Conservative
support. Enough Nationalists. Labor-
.Hes and Liberals will vote against it,
If It is introduced ahead of the veto
bill, to mAke its passage by the Liber
als alone impossible.
In view of the tangled government
finances caused by the budget contro
versy, it is imperative that some com
promise be reached whereby the budget
may be passed. It Is probable that this
will be effected.
After the budget is passed, persons
who are conversant with the situation
and who are able to interpret the signs
declare confidently a deadlock will
ensue. After the deadlock Lloyd-George
is expected to resign as chancellor of
the exchequer and Winston Churchill the
home secretaryship.

It IB impossible now to predict the

Gre&t Annual Clearance Sale at Bilers The Money
Saving Event of the Year Terms as
Low as $ 1 .50 Weekly v
Many familjes in this city and state, whose means would ordinarily deprive them of the refining
influence of music, have found it possible, owing to the terrific reductions, to secure a fine piano in
the Annual Clearance Sales at the House - of Eilers.
In the vast number of Pianos offered the high character and splendid condition and the re
markably low prices these annual "CleanUp" events are without an equal.
No matter what your preference is, no matter what make or tone or style you desire' or whether
your choice is a Kimball, or a Hobart M. Cable, or Steinway, or Lester, or Story & Clark or Eilers
or Emerson, etc., or whether you wish to invest $124, $275 or $350, you can effect in this Clearance
Sale a saving large enough, to pay you for a thorough musical education of the entire family.
But all that can be said or written will not do full justice to this really great event. To fully
appreciate this extraordinary opportunity one must personally see the instruments, test them 'criti
cally, note their excellent condition (some nearly new) and littleness of price.
If you have the remotest idea of securing a Piano within the next year and can pay $3.00 or $2 50
yes, $1.50 a week, don't let another day go by without investigating this Clearance Sale. ' .
The Quickest action is necessary, however, for at the present rate the remaining fine values, which
have been unmercifully reduced, will surely be snapped up in short order. Arrange to come the first
thing tomorrow morning. (Store closed this afternoon Washington's birthday).
