TREATMENT OF A COLD.
Some Good Advice by We'll
Known Physician.

A we'll known physician says that a
cold can be easily treated att it's outset,
but if neglected may lead to la grippe
and pneumonia. He says that the best
home treatment for the cure of colds
and la grippe is Krause's Cold Cure
Capsules. He uses them almost exclu-
sively in his practice, as they do not
affect the head as does quinine nor
upset the stomach.
This remedy is prepared in soft,
soluble gelatine capsules, which are
easily dissolved by the warmth and
fluids of the stomach. They are much
preferable to little, hard, sugar-coated
pills or tablets that always offer OBJ
jectionable resistance to assimilation.
Krause's Cold Cure positively cures
cold in the head, cold in the chest,
cold in the throat or cold in any part
Of the body, and it will prevent tn.
development of bronchitis OR pneu-
monia. 1t is for sale at all iirstclass
drug stores at 25 cents box. Sold by
Shuttleworth Drug Co.

TO CURE THE GRIP.
Advice OF a Famous Physician.

GAoU d1u lOlCulOSU, Mo l..
Take care of yourself. Your already
weakened nerves want rest, and must
have it. If the attack is severe go to
bed and remain there. More fatalities
result from neglect of this precaution
than from any other cause.
Eat sparingly. Your digestive Or
gans are in no condition to take care
Of large quantities of food.
Drink plenty of pure cold water. 1t
allays the fever stimulates the kid
neys to action and opens up the
of the skin. Keep the bowels open
with DR.. Miles Nerve and Liver Pills.
Take three doses of DR.. Miles Ner-
vine per day, and if you cannot sleep
take an extra dose at bedtime. TO
further control the fever, and to over
come the peculiar aches and pains of
grip, use DR.. Miles Pain Pills. They
act quickly and eifectually, and no
bad effects result from their use.
These remedies have been thoroughly
tested more than million times, and
their efficiency is thoroughly estab-
lished. They never fail to give relief.
DR.. Miles Remedies can be found
at any drug store, and they are sold
on positive guarantee that first bot
tie or package benefits or money res
funded.

TO SURRENDER MONDAY.
Said That Dotha Has Made Terms
with Kitchener " hereby He
Will Give Up.

London, March IL. 3 a. m. = Gen.
Botha and the Boer forces who still
recognize him as commander in chic {
French on Monday, March IL.
The agreement to surrender is the
result of the negotiations which have
been pending between Lord Kitchener
and Gen. Botha at Middleburg since
February 81.
Gen. De Wet and President Steyn
are not included in the agreement to
surrender
London, March 1.-THE Daily
Chronicle, referring to the armistice
at Pretoria, says:
I'VE learn that the untiring agent on
bringing about the negotiations was Mrs.
Botha, who was deeply affected by the
hopeless plight of the Beers, and did her
utmost to induce her husband to accept
the British terms.
THE meeting of February q was limit
ed to Gen. Botha's request to know Lord
kitchener'S terms. Lord Kitchener re-
piled that general amnesty would be
granted to all who surrender. as we'll as
all prisoners except those Cape Dutch who,
being British subjects. had actively TO-
mented Boer resistance. Gen. De Wet and
Mr.. Steyn were however, expressly eX-
Guided from the amnesty. Lord Kitchener
further promised that. If peace were con-
Guided. the government would assist in
rebuilding the farm houses and other
buildings destroyed under military ext
gencies. would reinstate the lawful own
ers and would help them stock their farms.
Those guilty of acts. of treachery would
be excluded from these benefits.
Gen. Botha appeared satisfied with the
conditions and the armistce being ar
ranged he proceeded to consult his Of
ficers. vast majority of whom accepted
the terms. De Wet and Steyn both re-
manned irreconcilable. They declined any
terms, De Wet adding that on his part
the war had become one of revenge. and
he intended to DO all the mischief he could.
1T is probable that the original armis-
tice of week has been extended. 1t Is
believed that the remainder Of Gen.
Botha's officers have now been won around
and that he is likely to make formal SUBJ
mission to Lord Kitchener March II, when
his force will surrender to Gen. French.
According to our information, Lord
Kttchener's dispositions made the speedy
capture of Gen. Bothas forces quite GER
tain. Gen. Botha frankly accepted the
situation and was treated by Lord Kitch-
ener at both interviews with the greatest
consideration.
The negotiations between Lord Kitch-
ener and Gen. Botha are in allegiance"
says the Pretoria correspondent of the
Times, wiring Wednesday, pending an
answer from the British government"
Cradock, March .-Maraisburg has
been reoccupied by the British, the
Beers evacuating. Only few horses
were secured.

; issued iron Washington is taken
here to be sufficient guarantee that
Russia's action in Manchuria will not
be tolerated by the United States.
Japan is relied upon to take a line
in harmony with the United States
and Great Britain. Germany, in spite
of the Anglo-German compact, is re-
garded as rather doubtful, owing to
Emperor Williams friendship for the
car. France. of course, will side
with her ally.
To Hiring Powers Into Line.
The significance of the present
phase can only be appreciated by
those cognizant of the lethargic at
titude of the British government
hitherto regarding Russian action in
China. Within the last few days all
this has changed. What a week or
two ago was pronounced only in line
with Russia's usual policy is now
termed "a grave and serious state
of affairs" Lord Lansdowne is using
every effort to bring the powers into
line, in order to present to Russia
such a menacing front that, without
Amy ambiguity regarding temporary
or other occupation, she may give up
all designs upon Manchuria.
What prompts the British foreign
office to take such an alarmist view
of circumstances usually looked upon
as fatalistic sequences is the appre-
hension that Russia, having held her
own in spite of the protest of the
ministers of the powers to the Chi
nese government, and having put her
self on record in the reply to Sir
Charles Scott as determined on at
least temporary occupation of Man
chura, will refuse to back down
That she must do SO Lord Lansdowne
considers VITAL both for the future of
China and for the continued existence
of the concert of powers,

to marry the young, to visit the old,
to cheer the sick, to help the needy,
