Powers Will Not Recognize Japanese
Korean Treaty.

Paris, Feb. 25.-It is the belief in the
highest ojcial quarters that the powers
will support Russian view of the invali
dity of the japanese treaty with Korea
so far as il creates a japanese proteS-
torate over Korea, owing TO the emperor
being under duress. But it is said that
no immediate action on the part fthe
powers is required as the question of
the recognition of the protectorate will
definately arise when the terms of peace
are considered. In the meantime Of
fetal opinion here is strongly sympa-
thetic with Russia's position. and il is
considered that Russia's note 10 the pow

firmatory of the view that Russia's pro
test TO the powers was designed to reserve

FOOD CURES
How Physicians Can Cure Even
Bright's Disease by Use of
Riqht Food

4 Manitoba trip taught two Michigan
women something valuable through a
wise physician Of Brandon One of them
says:
Il had been SO troubled for years with
my stomach that l could not eat meat
and fruit on the same day and suffered
if / ate anything more than little stale
bread and butter and was so thin people
thought l was going to die.
Il had often seen Grape-NutS adver-
tised but had never tried the food until
last August my sister went cut TO Mani
toba TO visit another sister and learned
that cur sisters little boy who IS seven
years Of age had taken Brights disease
of the kidneys and their family physician
gave them no hopes Of his recovery.
His parents then took him to Bran
don. ~ miles distant. and the physician
there told them he would undertake to
cure him II no food hut Grape-Nuts were
given him as no other food would agree
with his medicine or help to overcome
the disease.
The child hes lived entirely on Grape
Nuts for one year and a half and is en-
tirely well. strong sturdy boy. The
visiting sister was in poor health when
she went out % Manitoba but the Grape
Nuts she learned 70 eat there sent her
back home vel and strong and when
she came home she told me about them
and I got some.
II learned that could not only digest
the Grape-Nu,s perfectly but Il took

One Application Soothed Him to

and Permanent.

"When my little boy was about three
months old his head broke out with q
rash, which was very itchy and ran con-
siderable watery fluid. We tried every
thing we could, bu. he got worse all the
time till it spread to his arms, legs, and
then to his entire body. and he got so
bad that he came near dying. The rash
would itch SO that he would scratch till
the blood ran, and thin yellowlsh stuf

to keep him from tearing his skin around
his wrists. He got so weak and run
down that he took fainting spells like

most a skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
He was bad about eight months

the daytime for long time. He had
got so that he just slept in our arms all

Soap and put on one application of
Cuticura Ointment and he was SO
soothed that l put him in the cradle.
You don't know how glad felt when he
felt better. 1t took one box Of Cuticura
Ointment, pretty near one cake of Cuti-
curs Soap, and about half bottle OF
Cuticura Resolvent, to cure. I think

EUROPEAN WAR GOSSIP
Hinted That Russia an d
Germany Are Friendly.
FRANCE HAS INTEREST
Her Financial Affairs M a y
Compel Herto Aid Russia.

St Petersburg. Feb 23.-There is a
| exists between Russia and Germany rela-
tive to the developments from the war
and the diplomats are giving more at
tention to the livelihood of other powers
becoming involved Frances enormous
financial investments in Russian funds
and enterprises are estimated at close
to s. 900, Oo0,0(1 and it is feared that in
case of Russian reverses, which might
threat on the empire, France may be
compelled to go TO the support of her
ally. There are suspicious of the mo-
tives of great Britain here of a char
acter 10 cause complications in that d.
rection. 1t Is strongly intimated that
the return of the Russian ambassador TO
Great Britain, Count Benckendorf, to
st. ePtersburg. was not solely to bid fare
well to his son, previous to the Iatter's
departure for the far east which with
his regiment but that il was also TO con-
suit with the Russian foreign office re-
lative to the British expedition to Thi-
bet
The Russian government is angry at
hte language used by Foreign Minister
Lansdowne, as printed IN the recent Brit
ish blue book on the subject of Thibet
and Amba ssador Benckendorff may re-
ceive instructions to reply in kind if ex-
changes on the subject continue.
The conditions in the Balkans are also
considered extremely critical and alto
gether, the diplomatic feeling that if the
danger of a general confiagration is TO
be avoided every energy should be di-
rected not only to limiting the sphere of
operations but toward an attempt TO
at mediation.
They are discussing the subject with
great seriousness. 1t is not believed that
Russia will be disposed, while smarting
under the humiliation of defeat TO ac-
cept intervention; but once decisive
victory is achieved the diplomats are in
clined to believe that owing to the Cars
sincere aversion TO war he will welcome
good Offices
The Novoe Vremya declares Great Bri-
tain's failure to protest against the vio-
lation of the neutrality OF Korea, whose
inviolabiity was guaranteed by the An
glo-Japanese treaty, proves that the
treaty was directly solely against Russia
Some old believers in the Schimatics of
800 years ago, who are among the wealth
lest Russians, show a disposition to place
a vast sum at the disposal of the govern
ment if the occasion requires. Scores Of
milionaires are among them at Moscow,
where they enjoy valuable concessions
granted by Catherine The Great AS
they are not believers in banks, the
money would have to come out of their
private strong boxes
a special dispatch from Port Arthur
says that Pekin and Tien Tsin report
that there is considerable dissatisfaction
in certain Chinese circles az the Neu-
trality OF China and that the Japanese
minister. NJ. Ouchida. is trying to force
China to side with Japan. II is asserted
that Yuan-Shi-Kai, the Chinese COM
mander in chief is under japanese influ-
ence and that he secretly recommends
an alliance between China and Japan, on
the ground that IL Japan gets Korea she
would not take ManChuria.
