Feminine vanity takes the form of COM

The truth is that women of all races

of sheer despair at the unapprOachable

at Constantinople at the seni-official
farewell of M. Cambon, the departing
French ambassador. The central figure
on the railway platform, towering
above ambassadors and putting the

Sugar Industry in Eouador.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Consul General
d. E. Leon at Guayaquil reports to the
state department that a reciprocity
treaty is proposed between Ecuador and
Chill and has already been ratified by
Ecuador. He says that the treaty is
favorable to Chilli in many respects; in
some ways at the cost of the United
rection of flour, lumber and other Cali
fornia products. The consul notes as a
significant fact that prior to the i'm
position of a duty by Ecuador sugar
was in a depressed condition and that
since then it has became a growing and
profitable industry, though the British
West Indies are bankrupt.

A movement is in progress for the con-

AFTER GRIP.

There is no denying the serious fact
that there is a great amount OF sick
ness from the grip; that over-worked
men and women now suffer more than
at any other time of the year from las
situde, headaches. slight chills and fe-
health; that people fall sick more read
lily now than at any other time of the
year; and that whenever an epidemic
does appear 1t Invariably plays havoc
with those who are run down and out
of condition.
The utmost caution should be taken
to keep the blood pure and the nervous
system in healthy tone.
There is no more excuse for the pre-
valent symptoms OF stagnant, impure
blood in the body than there is for the
barbarism Of filthy streets in city.
The relaxed and sluggish action of
the excretory organs loads the body
with waste material that poisons it and
brings on headaches, rheumatic pains,
sleepless nights and profitless days, due
solely to the circulation in the blood, or
matters which Paine's celery compound
alone will quickly drive out.
When the arms, hips or back feel the
twinges of acute rheumatism it is high
time to relieve the kidneys and b1ad-
der from the strain that so often brings
on Bright's disease, gravel, dropsy and
complications of diseases with other or
gans whose health depends upon the
purity of the blood. Prompt use of
Paine's celery compound will save the
weakened parts from yielding to dis
ease.
In dts peculiar ability to invigorate
the body, to make new blood and tc
regulate the nerves, lies the great value
of Paine's celery compound in all vast
ing diseases and disorders of the kid
neys, liver and stomach.
Paine's celery compound rescues
shaky, enfeebled nerves from prostra-
ton and removes that feeling of utter
exhaustion that causes so much des-
pondency among so many worried men
and women.
1t makes flesh, blood and strong
nerves.
Paine's celery compound is not pat

fession never heard; it is not concoction
