BUSINESS TRIP IN U BOAT. Unable to reach the Central Empires by any other means, Suleiman Effendi el Barouni, the leader of the Senussi rebellion in Tripoli, is stated by the Budapest correspondent of the 'Morning Post' to have travelled from the coast of Northern Africa to a Dalmatian port in an Austrian submarine on his way to Vienna from Constantinople. Interviewed in Hungary, this Arab chief, probably the first man ever to make a- business trip in a submarine, declared that the Senussi had been transformed into a modern army with artillery and supply columns, that the brother of Enver Pasha was in command and that the rebellion, first dirocted against the Italians, was now to be turned' against the British in Egypt. He. declared that the Germans could avoid the British and French fleets in the Mediterranean by sending machine guns and rifle 6 to Northern Africa by the submarine route. THE BAXE OF OLD AGE. The bane of old age is constipation. With elderly people the bowels become weak and unable to perform their functions without aid. For this purpose only the mildest and gentlest laxative should be used. The use of harsh cathartics aggravates the trouble and makes the constipation worse. 'Chamberlain's Tablets are a favourite with people of middlo age and older on account of their gentle action. Sold everywhere.
