Why Attempt to Cure

catarrh by the use of so-called blood
remedies: That catarrh is not caused
by blood troubles is self-evident when
you reflect that attacks are always due
to sudden climatic changes or exposure,
and occur most frequently during the
winter and spring, though the blood is
as pure then as in summer or fall. y
remedy which quickly relieves and cures
the catarrhal attacks has been found in
Elv's Cream Balm.

ATHENS. April s.-Thc cabinet min
isters assembled Tuesday evening and
were engaged until late hour in dis
eussing the identical notes which each
of the representatives of the powers
handed to NJ. Skouzes the Greek min
lister for foreign affairs.
II is believed that NJ. Skouzes will
deliver the reply of Greece to the rep
resentatives of the powers today.
In the meanwhile it is rumorcd here
that Russia has. in addition. made a
separate proposal to the effect that il
Greece will consent to withdraw her
troops from the island Of Crete, Russia
will agree to obtain from Turkey the
withdrawal of the Turkish troops from
Crete so soon as the Greek evacuation
is completed, and that Russia will fur

Greece shall he sent, as Greek prince,

Greece. according to report, prompt
" rejected these proposals.
There was intense excitement Tues
day at Larnaca, island of Cyprus where
the Greek independence day was duly
celebrated by the Greeks and others.
la the evening there was torchlight
procession to the Greek consulate, and
speeches in favor of the union of the
island of Crete and Cyprus to Greece
were made. The Turks were greatly irri-
tated at this Greek demonstration and
. conflict between the processionists
and the Mussulmans was with difficulty
averted.

is said here to be due to his opposition
to the plans drawn up for the blockade
of the Piraeus.
1t is believed that some decided
change in the political situation must
take place before long. as the Turkish
government has plainly intimated to
the representatives of the powers that
the existing conditions can not be al
lowed to prevail much longer.
