Every woman cannot be beautiful but

The report that the British govern
ment intends to fortify st. Johns, Now

The report that the British govern
ment intends to fortify st. Johns, New
foundIand, is not surprising during
the present strained relations between
France and Great Britain. For hun
bred years or more the control Of val
liable fisheries on the coast of New
foundland has been q cause OF endless
friction between the two nations thar
now seem in danger of an open rup-
turc over west African possessions
Frances first striking point, in the
event of war with Great Britain, would
unquestionably be Newfoundland, the
nearest British colony to her own
shores. and it is doubtless the knowl-
edge of this fact that explains the hur-
ried orders of the British admiralty to
prepare adequate Notifications at
Newfoundland's chief seaport.

The most offensive of all dis

weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for so long, end during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Catarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
velop the disease. What appears
to be only q bad cold will proTe
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
