Fears That France and England May

Berlin. May 2-The German press is
becoming uneasy over King Edward :
visit to Paris. There is a strong i'm
preston that England and France are
arranging a deal at Cermany's ex-

planning common front against the
Germans in Morocco and elsewhere.
The result of such an Anglo-French
agreement. some of the papers point
out, would be to increase Germany's
isolation, which would render it more
imperative for the kaiser to secure the
friendship OF America.

Much decentralization has resulted from

pressure brought to bear by the retail

is organized to maintain fixed

Washington, Dee. IAN unknown ad-

The cat arrived by express at the
white house and the president ordered
it sent to the national zoo. This was
tantamount to acceptance of the gift
and served to. recall that on a previous
occasion when a little French girl in
Boston sent him a beautiful silken flag
which she had worked with her own
hands he returned it through the me-
dunn of his private secretary with a
note to the effect that he could not
accept gifts from strangers.
The executive offices and the white
house stables are full of gifts which
were cordially accepted.

Do NOT WEAR A LONG FACE.
e Is Great Handicap in All Business

The man who looks as if he had lost

work that his stomach is unable to do
and by relieving that organ of its bur-
dens, permit it to regain its health and
strength and again become active and
useful in its functions They contain
all the essential ingredients that enter
into the digestive fluids and secretions
OF the stomach and they actually take
up the work and do 1t lust as a healthy.

By this means a man can go right
ahead with his work and eat enough to
keep him in proper working condition

sary nourishment as it is in the case of

even If it were a good thing, could not
be continued long enough to effect a
cure, for disordered and WORKOUT
stomach is not going to become strong
and healthy in two or three days.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets act nat
urally because they contain natural di-
gestives. The principal component parts
are aseptic pepsin, malt diastase and
other ingredients with like properties
that do the work regardless of the con-
dition of the stomach. There is no I'M

digestive organs as the result of their
