Raymond, in the Atlantic Monthly. It is just over 15 years since Mr. Lloyd George accepted his first post as a minister of the British crown. Since then he has been continuously in of fice; during nearly 13 years he has supported the most onerous responsibili ties; he has again and again emerged with increased prestige from bogs and sloughs that would have engulfed any polltican less agile; finally, as the only possible choice, he was called by acclamation to a position in which he has for four years maintained a despotic, almost personal rule. Of the chiefs of state who waged war and made peace, he alone remains erect. ' On the face of things, one would say that the British prime minister has indeed discovered the knack of averting the jealousy of the gods. His pres tige is, to all appearances, higher today than it was a twelvemonth ago. There has necessarily been some declension from the enthusiasm of tno armistice days; it was not in human nature that that fever of worship should endure in its full intensity. But the prime minister's prestige is still such, that any attack on him recoils on the assailant; and for the most part those who would most willingly wound are most afraid to strike. Not since the time of the elder Pitt has opposition been so easily cowed by mere gesture. in erreci, ms wnoie amtatte can oe r-xprcssea in one semtiHc. who won the war?" The words are not always spoken. But they are always Implied; and so far they have never failed 6f their effect. The walla of the Jericho of parliamentary opposition fall at the first sound of the prime min ister's trumpet, and Mr. Lloyd George—convinced that in this regard only what he does himself will be well done—is mainly his own trumpeter. Undoubtedly this quite innocent and even attractive capacity of self-ap predation in public is a source of considerable strength to Mr. Lloyd George. To the very genuine capacity of this remarkable man, I am by no means blind: he is without doubt the most considerable force in English politics since Gladstone. He has quite extraordinary courage, an amazing faculty of getting u. the point, a great talent for choosing efficient instruments. His grip of essentials is such that it largely compensates for a sloppiness ir. detail that would be fatal to any other practitioner of his method. Half the mis understandings. domestic and international, which arise from time to time are due rather to this carelessness than to any dgeper cause. But if Mr. Lloyd George does make many mistakes, he enjoys marvelous luck in es caping their consequences, and shows almost miraculous skill In putting them right. But these would not alone suffice to maintain his prestige with the pub lic. On that side he is helped by a curious insensitivepess. It is not exactly want of dignity: on occasion, he can speak and act with a sort of severe and statuesque magnanimity that the great aristocrats of the iSth century would hardly' have deemed inadequate. But, like the Tudors,—who also were M elsb, —he has the knock, so to speak, of vaulting off his throne, having a bout of fisticuffs with an inferior, and vaulting back again, without serious loss of prestige. Henry VIII wrestled with a butcher; Elizabeth often boxed the ears of her maids of honor, and sometimes of her nobles; neither compro mised princeliness in doing so. A similar want of reserve is indulged, with similar immunity, by Mr. Lloyd George, and he even derives, as the Tudors did, a specific political advantage from it. Mr. Asquith fell, no doubt, partly from his own weakness; hut his fall was cerfatnly accelerated by the attacks of Lord Northcliffe’s newspapers. On the one side, there was a chorus of cleverly manipulated depreciation, In every key and genre, from the organ notes of the Times to the syncopated shrill ness of the cheaper dailies and weeklies. Every hour of the day,- week after week, month after month,—the attack was maintained, with all the rtrt of a supreme genius in tire manipulation of public opinion. On the other s,de, was dignified and even wooden silence. Mr. Asquith, with Pee) and Gladstone in his mind's eye, wipeed, but did not retort: he rashly deemed it beneath him to take cognizance of a thing not less obvious than Niagara, and (for one in his position) not less dangerous. Mr. Lloy-d Ueorge, more alive to actuality, took care not to make the same mistake when his own time came. When he in turn was galled by the same converging fire, he let no question of the dignity of a minister of the crown qualify the sting and destructive force of his repartee. He treated Lord Northcllffe exactly as he used to treat an impudent back-bencher, or a trucu lent opposition leader, or the late German emperor. With a sort of gay fere city, he aimed straight at the weak point in his opponent's harness, got in hi* weapon, and turned it round with cruel glee. "Lord Northcllffe says this and that. Why does he say this and that? Of course, everybody knows that it was because—'' And here followed ex actly ths last thing the great journalist would like to have the public know. For Lord Northcllffe, while contemptuous of what he'calls "newspaper shrap nel,"— the kind of criticism that has only a general objective,—is easily ter rorized by fire that is carefully aimed and threatens to let daylight into hi» own dugouts. He has never quite recovered from the prime minister’s per fectly undignified and very effective riposte. The press campaign goes on, of course, and more bitterly than ever. But while lofty silence would have given it authority, familiar and bantering speech certainly impaired its moral value. By treating the matter in the spirit of a personal vendetta, Mr. Lloy* George has succeeded in getting it largely' recognized as such. This freedom from restraint is, I repeat, a great source of strength to Mr, Lloyd George. It makes people think twice before they cross him. The knowledge that no consideration will count with him when his ba< k is to ths wall' that he will fight, not only with blade and fist, but with feet and nails, if necessary, undoubtedly cows much opposition that might otherwise deelars (After Kipling.)

Neither would be tolerated by specialists in children’s diseases. Your Physician will tell you that Baby’s medicine must be prepared with even greater care than Baby’s food. A Baby’s stomach when in good health is too often disarranged by improper food. Could you for a moment, then, think of giving to your ailing child anything but a medicine especially prepared for Infants and Children ? Don’t be deceived. Make a mental note of this:—It is important, Mothets, that you should remember that to function well, the digestive organs of your Baby must receive special care.
