CARACAS. Venezuela. March 1O.-The
yellow Book. covering the incidents in
connection with the work of the allies in
the recent demonstration along the
Venezuelan coast. is ready for the pub
fishers. II contains several interest
ing matters from President Castro s
viewpoint. the most curious OF which
are alleged letters from Mr.. Hagsard.
the British minister.
MIR Haggard's letters are so compiled
as to give the impression that the Brit
ish authorities at Trinidad did not deny
that assistance had been given TO Gen.
Emanuel Matos. leader Of the revolu-
uonary forces.
The decree OF blockade just declared
on the Orinoco River by President Cas-
tro, on account of rebel occupation.
promises tc cause new complications
with the English. II is said here that
the British navy intends to consider the
blockade Ineffective and to act accord
ingly.
The local press is still clamoring for
the return Of the merchant vessels cap
tured by the British. TIE report from
English naval officers at Pallas that six
Of these captured merchantmen have
been sunk has caused some excitement.
There is no veridcation Of the story.
Action OF the British is compared to
that of the Italians. who promptly re-
turned the seven vessels captured by
them.

NEW HAMPSHIRE PLACED
UNDER QUARANTINE
Outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease
Among Cattle.

Secretary Wilson yesterday prOmul
gated an order putting a quarantine on
the State Of New Hampshire on account
OF foot-and- mouth disease.
This order prohibits the shipment OF
cattle, sheep or other ruminants or
swine from or across New Hampshire
into other States or foreign countries.
II also prohibits the shipment from that
State OF hides. skins, hair, wool, horns
or hoofs OF ruminants OF swine.
Animals for immediate slaughter may
be shipped across New Hampshire in
cars which have been sealed by inspec-
tors OF the Department OF Agriculture.
providing these seals are not broken
until the animals reach their destina-
tion.
This order is issued because Of a re
port received from the chief inspector
OF the Bureau OF Animal Industry at
Boston stating that a number Of ami
mails had been shipped from New Hamp-
shire 10 Massachusetts which were found
affected with foot-and mouth disease.
Four diseased herds had previously been
found in New Hampshire, but ali the
animals in these had been destroyed and
the places disinfected and it was sup
posed the contagion had been entirely
eradicated-
It Is believed that the present out
break is not extensive. but the shipment
OF diseased cattle TO Massachusetts
makes fl desirable that quarantine
should be placed on the State until a
thorough investigation can be made. II
is now more than three weeks since any
case Of the disease has been found in
any other State.

outside the Exposition. Much that the

his majesty regards exhibitions as one
OF the most potent means OF fostering
international peace. Their talk drifted

toned Houston Chamberlain's "Fourda-

The Heart Not The Chief Vital ORGAN,

The stomach. not the heat. is the vital cen
ter OF the human body. What effects the
stomach affects every organ of the body be
cause from the stomach comes the nutrition
which SuStains life. If by reason Of disease
the digestive and assimilativc processes ofthc
stomach and its allied organs are impaired.
that means the Impairment of every organ of
the body which must suffer from diminished
suStcnancc.
1t is n remarkable fact that people triflc
with the stomach as with no other physical
organ. They let it grow 80 eak, know that
it's functions failing and will do little or
nothing to cure themselves. Let symptoms
of disease manifest themselves i'll the heart,
liver. kidneys. or lungs. and there is instant
anxiety. They begin to doctor for weak
heart, liver trouble" kidney trouble"
or lung trouble" as the case may he.
And still they neglect stomach trouble which
is probably the cause o. the disorder of other
organs. That is the reason why SO many poo
heart liver, kidneys, lungs etc. They are en-
til ely ncglccting the cause of disease which is
i'll the stomach and which results i'll physical
weakness because ofIacl; of nutrition. And as
the body as Il whole is made up OF its several
organs and members. il is evident that phys
ical weakness in general means weakness dis
trhutcd among the several organs of the
body, heart, liver. kidneys and lungs, each
bearing it's share. If there is special prcdiS pO-
sition t. disease in any one organ, that organ
will probably he the first to develop symiA
toms OF disease.
The reason why DIR. Picrcc's Golden Medical
Discovery cures so many various diseases is
that so many diseases have their origin in dis
ease OF the stomach and other organs ofdiSeS.
ton and nutrition. When the diseased st on
ach is cured, diseases of heart, liver. kidneys.
lungs, etc. caused by disease Of the stomach
are cured also.
Thercason why &C o1dcn NJ cdical Discovery
cures when doctors have failed and other
medicines have been tried in vain. is because
the ordinary medical treatment ignores the
stomach, while Dr. piercc's Golden Medical
Discovery begins by the of diseases of
this vital center and progresses to the cure of
diseases of other organs remote from the
stomach but influenced by it and dependent
upon it.
Remember that food is the material that

We Are Not Always Glad When We

by JAMES wHlTCOMB RILEY.
We are not always glad when we smile,
For the heart in tempest of pain
May live i'll the guiSc of laugh in the eyes,
AS he rainbow may live in the rain;
And the storInlcss night of our woe
May hang out Il radiant star,
Whose light in the sky of distress is n lie
AS black as the thunder clouds are.
We are not always glad when we smile,
For the world is tickle and gay
That our doubts and our fears, and ON
gricfs and our tears,
Are laughingly hidden away;
And the touch of a frivolous hand
May ottcncr wound than caress.
And the kisses that drip from the reveler $ liz
May oftcnrr blister than bless.
We are not always glad when smile,
But the conscience is quick to record
That the sorrow and the sin we are holding
within
Is pain in the sight of the Lord;
Yet ever, oh ever. till pride
And pretcnsc shall cease to revilc,
The inner recess of the heart must confess;
We are not always glad when we smile.

A W0man'S Wealth.
Paine'S CelerV
Compound
GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute TO health and long life, are those which
do not imply a rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovahle, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion OF life power, have
become weak, nervous, slecpless, and debil-
tated.
We bring TO the attention of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sickly women
earth's great rescuer and health builder,
Paine's Celery Compound. Thousands of
healthy women around us owe their present
vigor, activity, and robustness to Paine's
Celery Compound. Mrs Stephen Smith, St.
Paul, Mimi, tells how she was snatched from
the grave; she says:-
81 had bad attack of la grippe this spring
and was at deaths door, and no one ever
expected me 10 recover. | was so weak that
as soon as they brought me out of one faint

nourishment, and doctors medicines did me
no good. A friend advised my husband to
get me bottle of Paine's Celery Compound,
which he did, but had no faith in it. The
second day after taking the Compound,
began to get real hungry and took an interest
in things. had everything that money and
loving care could supply, and with that and
