HINTS FOR WOMEN.
How to Secure Perfect Complexion
by Natural Means-An Easy Way
to Beauty the Skin and Obtain a
Good Color.

1t is every woman's wish to be pos
sessed of a clear and beautiful skin, but
how few are thus fortunate. A pale and
sallow complexion is far too common
and a fresh. healthy color is so uncom-
mon as to be the cause of favorable re-
mark when seen anywhere. 1t is a
matter of fact that the condition of
the skin is an index to the health of
the body. Therefore, to improve a
bad complexion. the right way. and the
only sure way. is to go back to the
cause. In almost every case it will be
found that the blood is out of order
and needs building up. This was the
50 Russell street, Lewiston, Me.
MY color had left my face" she says,
"and my health failed. / suffered from
nervousness. dizziness and loss of appe-
tite: not enough to confine me to the
bed but troublesome enough so as to in
terfere with my work. Oftentimes l
experienced a faintness at the stomach
which made me feel miserable.
During the summer of 1900 friend
who had been troubled as | was, and
who had been helped by these pills,
recommended them to me. / began to
take them at once and had not used up
a box before / felt decided change for
the better in my condition. Now l do
not like to be without them"
The disease from which Miss King
suffered was anaemia. 1t is character
lied by a pallid complexion, pale lips,
dun eyes. tongue and gums bloodless;
shortneSs of breath on slight eXertion-
especially upon going upstairs; palpita-
ton of the heart, feeling of impending
death: weakness. loss of appetite and
ambition: irregularity and pain in the
natural functions of women.
The one remedy that has proved itself
4 specific for anaemia is DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. These pills,
taken in increasing doses, will never
fail TO effect a cure il used persistently
for a reasonable length of time. They
are sold in boxes (never in bulk) at
fifty cents box or six boxes for two
dollars and fifty cents, and may be had
of all druggists or direct by mail from
DR.. Williams Medicine Company, Sche-
nect1dy, N. Y. Be sure to get the genu-
me: substitutes never cured anybody.

PEACE IN THE AIR.
First Step Toward Ending War
Comes from The Hague.
Holland Suggests That it Act as
Delegate for the Beers.
EnsIand Will Not Consent Unless
Terms Are Accepted.

London, Jan. 2S.-The government of
Holland has offered in the most friend
~ terms to help in bringing about
peace in South Africa. In commune
cation to the British government the
Dutch government suggests that it
might be permitted to act as sort of
diplomatic agent for the BOer delegates.
But the government expressly dis
owns any attempt at intervention and
does not mention any terms.
II was learned by a representative of
The Associated Press that the British
government infers that it would not
have been approached unless the
Dutch authorities We're convinced that
the Roer delegates now in Europe We're
willing to accept the cardinal points of
the British peace terms, so frequently
announced in Parliament.
Lord LansdoWne, the foreign secre-
tary, replied in friendly terms to The
tutcd inquiries in order to ascertain the
extent of the powers delegated to Mr.
Kruger and the other Boer representa-
tivcs in Europe to act in behalf OF the
burghers in the field.
Great doubt is expressed at the for
eign office here as to whether any neSo-
tiations carried on by the Boer dele
gates through the Dutch government
or other channels will prove effectual.
If satisfactory guarantees in this re-
spect can be secured negotiations Will
Immediately commence.
This doubt in regard to the author
ity of Mr.. Kruger and others to speak
for the fighting burghers is perceptible
in the statement which A. j. Balfour
made in the House of Commons, this
afternoon. when he announced that no
nvrrturcs for peace had been received
from anyone authorized to speak in be-
half Of the Beers, though commune
cation which was under consideration
had been received from the Dutch gov
arnment.

London, Jan. 29.-The announcement
of Mr.. Balfour caused a sensation in
the Hobbies of Parliament
Lord Rosebery is generally credited
with having brought about this move
ment on the part of the Dutch govern
mcnt.
1t is recalled that in an interview
published about Christmas time, DIR.
Kuyper, the Dutch premier. was repre-
scented to have urged the impossibility
of Hollands intervening in South Afri-
ca unless she had reason to think that
both parties wished it. Consequently
it Is regarded as certain that the pres
ent move was inspired by the Boer
delegates.
The Petit Bleu of Brussels, the organ
of the Krugerites. fatty denied, last
night, that the Boer delegates had
charged any one to make peace pro-
posals and professed to be in entire ig-
norance of the Dutch communication.
The Hague correspondent of the
Daily Mail declares that he has ascer-
tanned that DR.. Leyds inspired the
Dutch foreign secretary, who was fur
Their advised by Prof. Asser, the inter-
national jurist, and adds that Dr.
I.eyds the European representative or
the Transvaal, is apparently attempt
ing to draw Mr.. Chamberlain, the Brit
ish colonial secretary, to disclose the
terms conditional upon the waving of
Independence.
The Daily News. this morning, claims
credit for the initiation of the peace
movement, and in referring to this
matter editorially. draws the inference
that the government has already re-
piled. and has rejected the Dutch over
lures until authorized as otherwise Mr..
Balfour would not have been in a po-
sition to promise the papers on the
subject. this promise showing that no
further negotiations were afoot.
This was the impression in the lob
bies as result of the announcement of
the government leader and semi-official
statements in government journals
this morning. declare that the outlook
for peace is not hopeful.
In cabling from Cape Town the cor
respondent of the Daily Chronicle
quotes from an address delivered by
Rev. DR.. Jos. c. Hartzell of Cincinnati.
missionary bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal church in Africa, last sun
day. DIR. Hartzell said: THE Beers
have mistakenly attempted to build NJ
republic based upon preference in
stead of principle. The Beers have
made n brave resistance and now
ought to be brave enough to acknow-
ledge defeat. and no man worthy the
name of Englishman or American
would not receive their surrender in q
proper spirit"
DR.. Hartzell said that he believed
that there would arise in Africa a set
Element of Anglo-Saxon civilization,
which would complete the arch of inn

people in South Africa like that in the
United States after the Civil War.

age.
