American Peace Congress.

The forthcoming volume of For
elgn Relations, about to be issued
from the State department, will
show that the invitation Of the
United States for a peace congress
Of all the nations in north and south
America was accepted very prompt
ly by nearly every government to
which it was sent. There was none
of the diplomatic delay usually at
tending important propositions.
Mexico accepted with great cordl-
ality, declaring that "the object de-
served the most sincere appreciation
and applause" Guatemala, Saliva
dor and Honduras accepted at once,
without reservation. Nicaragua end
Costa Rica cordially approved the
design, but deferred formal accept
ance until they could learn definitely
that the congress would assemble.
Venezuela accepted in most epthu-
siastic response, believing that "the
labor of the congress would be bene-
fetal to peace throughout America,
and thence exert an influence upon
Europe" Peru, without answer
ing, was known to be anxious for
the congress. As to the Chiian
government, where extraordinary
objections were anticipated, the for
eign secretary replied that "the
laudable purpose for which the con-
gress was invited must meet the ap-
proval of all nations" Brazil, the
only American monarchy, accepted
the invitation cordially, the EN-.
peror's government declaring that
Brazil was deeply interested in the
movement. There was evident re.
gret in all these governments that
the United States withdrew the in
vitatlon and abandoned the peace
congress.

A mans wife should always be
the same, especially to her husband
but if she is weak and nervous, and
uses Carter's Iron Pills, she cannot
be, for they make her "feel like q
different person." at least so they
all say, and their husbands say Sc
too! Carter's Iron Pills equalize the
circulation, remove nervousness and
give strength and rest. Try them.

we'll forget that large space has for
years been taken up by Kendalrs s
advertisements-especially of a GER
tain SPAWN Cure. We have had
dealings with DR.. Kendall for many
years, and we know of some large
business houses in cities near by,
who have also dealt with him for
many years, and the truth is fully
and faithfully proven, not only that
he is q good honest man, and that
his celebrated SPAWN Cure is not
only all that it is recommended to
be, but that the English language is
not capable of recommending it too
highly.
Kendall's Spavin Cure will cure
spavins. There are hundreds of
cases in which that has proven to
our certain knowledge, but after all,
if any person confines the usefulness
of this celebrated medicine to curing
spavins alone, they make a big mis-
take. 1t is the best medicine known
as an outward application for rheu-
matism in the human family. 1t IS
good for pains and aches, swellings
and lameness, and is just as safely
applied TO men, women and children
as it is to horses. We know that
there are other good liniments, but
we do believe this SPAWN cure to be
far better than any ever invented.
