DE VALERA QUITS IRISH PRESIDENCY

Executive Quits and Then Reconsiders Action in Hot Dail Session. TO VOTE ON PEACE TODAY President of "Irish Republic" Declares That Griffith Broke His Promise Net to Sign Allegiance to the British Kino. Dublin, Jan. 7. Eamon De Vulcra lesigned as president of the Irish Itej public and almost immediately recunsddered. Out of the confusion suri roundins his action, the only thins clear is that the Dail now favors the passage of the peace treaty. The withdrawal of De Vaiera's resignation was made on mutual agreement there would be a straight" treaty vote, it is said. Developments started when it was announced De Valera had resigned, that the Sinn Fein cabinet wont with him, and a new cabinet headed by Arthur (irillith would be 1'oiuumI. The Dail adjourned. Then Michael Collins announced he had resigned, hut his resignation had been refused. Then Chairman MacXeill of Dail ruled the dissolution of the Sinn Fein ministry was out of order. Tho full effect of Chairman MacNeil l's ruling was not clear on whether it was aimed ut preventing De Vaiera's resignation, which had already beep tendered, or designed to pi event De Valera from dissolving the mini itry. "I resign as chief executive authority, and with my resignation goes the ; entire ministry,' said Do Vaiera's first statement. "When I came out of Jail I found Arthur Crifhth head of the political section of the Sinn Fein, and C. Iirugha head of the Irish republican army. They differed, and then, as now, 1 was the connecting link. 'I believe that Iirugha represented the heart of the Irish people. "The cabinet has tried hard to get the two sides into harmony. "When the treaty was signed In London my task vn to ind the split. "On October 23 I wrote to London that if recognition of the English king was essential the Irish would not accept the peace agreement. If it Is to he war It would better for It to come Immediately. "(Jriffith broke his promise to me on December 3 not to sign any document pledging allegiance to the king. I believe we could have got a settlement without beaming Mritish citizens. "As sure as this treaty is ratified, there will be Irish rebels. I am not a british subject. I will die without becoming a Ihitish subject. I was reared here in a laborer's cottaire. I know the Irish people. I hope when I die I shall get a Fenian's grave. "I am sick of politics nnd wish to return to private life, but I Intend to offer myself lo the peoph for re-election on the lines of the V.nO election. I will want a cabinet In unison with me if I nin re-eleete. I will demand all rrsnuiTCs lie hnii;h over to me for defense of the republic if 1 am successful." If De Valera carries out Ins Intention of running again for president tho election would be regarded as tantamount to : referendum on the Irish peace treaty. In a speceh in the Dail De Valera said : 'When the Irish ponce agreement eaine up this assembly became split as wide as It possibly could be. I and those who are with me stand for a republic of Ireland. Nothing else will do." GOTHAM DRY HEAD INDICTED Three Prcminent Politicians Also Named by the Federal Grand Jury. New York. Jan. 7.

Little lllamhe Blair, of Providence. K. I., age YX gained 1 pounds; Regina .Mr':d. at right, age P, of Scnmton, Fa.. gained 10 pounds; little liiehard Leary. Jr.. of Philadelphia, who was very delicate, is now in line, robust health. The statements made by their parents are as follows: Mr. A. M. Blair, residing at "JO Atwood strot-T. Providern e. It. I., said: "We are jut so happy oer the hange Tanlae has made in our little girl that we ean't do or say enough lo show our appreciation. She had lost noarly 'Jd pounds in weight and looked so frail and weak that her mother and I were both almost worried sick over her condition. Since taking Tanlae. she has already gained lo pounds. hT color i better than it ever lias been and she looks and acts like a different girl." Mrs. Catherine MoCabe. -114 Dickens Ave., S.-ranton. I'a.. said: "The llu left my little Kegina in such a bad condition that I have no idea she would be with me now if it hadn't been for Tanlae. It is a mystery to me how she lived on the little she was eating and was so lifeless she never even oared to play with the dolls and toys she got at Chrbtmas. Since taking Tanlae she is as hardy and well as any child could be and has gained 1." pounds in weight. I will always praise Tanlae for restoring our little girl's health." Richard Leary, j:;4l' Palethorpe St., Philadelphia, s:iil : 'There is no doubt in my mind but that Tanlae saved my little bi,s life. For two years I wouldn't have been a bit surprised to have seen him drop off at any time.

The conclusion has been reached by a well-known engineer xvho Ifas given the subject considerable attention that certain cities, if not indeed most Inland cities of say 100.000 population or more, appear to be "thunderstorm spots." The observation has been made by K. 11. Horton, of Voorhcesville, N. V., who also points out that "a shallow lake with sandy margins located in a forest may serve as a j thunderstorm breeder" and cites as i proof observations made by him j over Oneida lake, New York. Old Court Has Much Power. In Liverpool (Fng.) there still exists one of the very few remaining medi-' eval borough courts of record. At one time there were -15 in various parts of the kingdom. The Liverpool court of passage, as it is called, has practically unlimited jurisdiction in causes of action arising within the city, nnd has more power than has the City of London court which has jurisdiction only when the defendant is employed in the city Itself. Misery loves company, but the company 'sn't apt to make a second call.

A ''balanced diet" may sound confusing to many people The facts, as explained here, are simple. The secret cf a "balanced diet" is to have food containing all the elements needed for proper nutrition. These elements are protein, to nourish the tissues; starch and sugar to furnish energy; fat to supply heat; and mineral salts to provide the material necessary for building nerves, brain, ) and tooth and bene structure. Grape-Nuts, the nourishing cereal made cf wholewheat ficur and malted barley, served with cream or milk, is a complete food for young and old alike. Go to your grocer today and get a package cf Grape-Nuts. Eat it with milk or cream fcr breakfast; or with stewed fruit, jelly or jam, as a delicious dessert for lunch or dinner. Every member of the family will relish thia palatable and nourishing food Grape-Nuts the Body Builder "There's a Reason" Mtde by Pos tun Cereal Co., Inc., Battle Creek, Mich.

The effect of Tanlae on the delicate stoma lis of the young is one of the strongest evidences of its wholesomeness as' well as its unusual merit. Although a powerful reconstructive, Tanlae contains no harmful ingredients, minerals or opiates which are so often found in other medicine--. Being composed of the most beneficial roots and herbs known to science it is purely vegetable and can be taken by the most delicate children, and does riot upset or injure the weakest or mo-t delicate stomach.
