edy like DR.. Harter's Iron Tonic, a
remedy that purifies and enriches the
blood?
1t does far more than that, because
it is the perfect example of everything
that tonic" stands for. But il would
be a wonderful remedy IL its power to
make red. rich blood was its only prop.
erty. 1t is far better than so-calIed
blood purifiers because IL both makes
and purifies the blood.
1t is not one of the crude forms O,
iron that injuries the teeth and stom.

stomach to the blood. In the blood II

SEES DANGER.-Judge Alvez, dis
tinguished judge and former Venezuelan
commissioner, in an interview yesterday
pointed out dangers to American princi-
pies which, be says, are involved in the
present difficulty in the Venezuelan
troubles. The judge said:
President Roosevelt should protest
against what the allies have already
done and what they evidently contem-
plate doing. The protest should have
been made when the Venezuelan ships
we're sunk. Great Britain and Germany
apparently have an Interior motive. If
Secretary Hay has acquiesced in their
plans. as he is said to have done, he has
to a considerable degree surrendered the
Monroe doctrine. The conduct of the
allies indicates their settled purpose to
destroy the Monroe doctrine. The diff
Guilty should be settled by arbitration.
If the worst should come to the worst,
the United States government has a
weapon which it would be entirely justi-
fed in using, and that would be to turn
privateers loose upon the commerce of
its antagonists"
