WHY WOMEN FADE.

II d Al q -t A q
 A million women today should be told what other millions have learned. That
 they need one element in their blood far
 more than men, and that lack of it is the
 reason they are apt to fade many years
 before they should. The needed element is iron. Iron builds up the red corpuscles or the blood and sustains vitality and strength Women need a constant supply of blood making material or their systems break down under the constant drain. The very moment there is lack of blood, or when the blood Is impoverished. the signal ap- Tor.
 The remedy needed is Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. Nothing else meets this particular condition. so we'll. Use of 1t has made hundreds of thousands of women look many years younger and made them feel even younger than they looked. 1t not only restores strength. energy and beau ty, but 1t is a prompt and certain cure for all the ills peculiar to the sex. It cures because it removes the first cause. It supplies just what nature needs to bring health
 It strengthens debilitated organs, gives tone and elasticity to muscles and liga- ments. rounds out wasted tissues and re- news the vigor of the nervous system. It helps quickly and just as surely and per- manently.
 Has been used and praised by women for forty-five years. Prepared only by The Dr. Harter Medicine Co.,, Dayton, Ohio. For sale everywhere. (0

Imperial Trade Issued Ordering that
the French Quays Company he
Granted All It's Rights.
TROUBLE IS NOW AT AN END
SETTLEMENT GREETED WITH DE-
LIGHT BY FRENCH OFFICIALS,
Who Feared the Affair Might Mar the
Festivities Arranged I'm Honor
of the Cars Visit.
CONSTANTINOPLE.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Aug. A.-The
Quays Company question has been settled,
as expected, in accordance with the de-
sires Of France. An imperial trade has
been issued ordering that the company
shall be allowed to exercise freely all the
rights granted by the concession.
PARIS, Aug. A.-Turkey has yielded to
French pressure, as was inevitable, and
full rupture of the relations between the
two countries has been averted. The Off
cial communique announcing the granting
of the French demands issued this morn
ing. follows: I'm consequence of the dec
laration made to the Porte by the French
ambassador that he acts under instruc
tions from the minister OF foreign affairs
an imperial trade has been issued declar-
ing that no obstacle shall be opposed to the
free exercise by the Quay Company of
the rights resulting from their concession"
A frman for the settlement of the mat
ters in question will, IL Is believed, be
issued shortly.
The Foreign Office officials do not con-
ceal their delight at the settlement of the
Turkish difficulty. During the last few
days it was evident that some anxiety
was felt lest the affair mar the festivities
on the occasion of the Cars visit.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns that M. Constans's dispatch
was very brief. but that it leaves no doubt
but that the Sultan has yielded all that
was wanted in the matter of the quays
by issuing an trade recognizing the full
rights claimed by the French company to
extend its operations. buy land and start
ferries, also removing the annoying re-
strictions hitherto imposed by the customs
and police officials. This not only ends the
dispute. but ends also all question of the
repurchase of the company's concession
by the Porte at the present time. Regard
ing the other French claims, as their
amount had been admitted by Turkey the
negotiations only turned on the manner of
payment 1t is believed this will be ar
ranged very quickly.

LETTER TO ESTRADA PALMA.
Points ON which the Cuban Commit
tee Wants His Opinion.

HAVANA, Aug. PA meeting of twenty
four notable persons was held to-day to
consider the letter drafted by Juan Gual-
berto Gomez at the request of the COM
mittee appointed to address communica-
ton to Estrada Palma asking for more
specific statement from him regarding the
programme he would follow If elected
President of the Cuban republic. The letter
says:
1--WE think the following would be an
appropriate programme in the country's
present condition" Then follow four
clauses dealing with the question of the
States and Cuba, (which should tend to
free trade, but at present Cuba needs some
income from customs
The second clause recommends the build
ing up of a system of local taxation and
economies in the government. The third
recommends the payment of the army after
a thorough examination of all claims. The
fourth clause, referring to the Platt amend
ment says:
I'm making treaty relations with the
United States, which treaty is to be re-
spected the government should take ad-
vantage of any favorable opportunity TO
influence the United States to reverse the
clauses curtailing Cuban independence and
sovereignty"
All of the letter was accepted, except
the last part, which was rejected by a vote
of to 3, though Gen. Maxine Gomez voted
for it. 1t was decided to send the letter
to Senor Palma with account of the
proceedings of the meeting and to await
a reply from him. The letter claims to en-
body the opinions of all the political parties
in Cuba.

AMERICANS RETURNING.

ington a short time to-day. He has been
in England and Scotland for thirty-hve
days, and while there made particular
study of conditions which will have bear
ing on the proposed tariff revision bill
which Representative Babcock of Wiscon-
sin, will introduce I'm the early days of
the next session of Congress. In an inter-
view tonight he said: This trip only
confirms what 1 have been able TO con-
clude from other trips across the sea. Yet
at no other time did see such wonderful
evidence Of the expansion of American
trade. 1 went into a number of groceries
in provincial towns in England and found
practically the same line of goods as one
would find on the shelves of an up-to-date
American grocery. This is especially true
of canned goods, preserved meats and pre-
pared foods OF various kinds. My atten-
ton was called to this by the wife of an
American CONSUL who said that few
years ago 1t was impossible TO obtain in
an English store the articles which an
American housekeeper considers neces-
sary in her daily domestic life.
"In the line of manufactured goods the
conditions are no less striking. American
tools are gaining in popularity. The IA
nous 'Tuppeny' tube, the London under
ground pneumatic tube. is made in Amer
lea and the entire equipment is supplied
by American firms. Transportation con-
veniences of all kinds bear American trade
marks. In fact, l have written out a list
which would occupy a column and half of

take the duty from all these articles
While that might not be fatal to our pros
perity. it certainly would cripple our
strength. The tariff assists In developing
our foreign trade. If the tariff is removed
the goods of foreign mills will be rushed
on us. weakening our manufacturing
strength. / find we are selling barley in
England: If the tariff was off, Canadian
barley would kill barley production.
The same arguments are as good now as
when the Mckinley bill passed. L find
in this increased transportation to foreign
markets an additional incentive for the
building up of our merchant marine. We
should not hesitate to take prompt meas
ures to bring this profitable carrying trade
under American control
