PERSISTENT RUMOR
OF COMING PEACE
Continental Europe Believes King
Edward Is Exerting Influence.

London: The continental press is
keenly discussing the widespread re-
port of King Edwards mediation"
The Telegraph's Berlin correspond
ent says it seems to be a widespread
opinion there, even in the best in
formed diplomatic and official circles,
that something has happened during
the past fortnight to justify the belief
that some strong, cool hand Is at work
preparing the way to a cessation of
hostilities, referring. of course, to King
Edward.
Even the semiofficial Allegemeine
Zeitung takes 1t for granted that the
kings influence predominates, and
says: "On all sides there are signs that
the next great task of English foreign
policy, one may say King Edwards
policy, is to effect an understanding
with Russia"
Other organs express the belief that
King Edwards influence with the car
is great, and that he only awaits the
psychological moment They point out
that King Edward is now the most in
flUental man in Europe and one OF the
most skillful politicians
What is gathered from the general
tone of the continental press is the
existence of belief that King Edward
is preparing the way to bring English
influence to the front when the ces,
sation of hostilities is in practical
view, and also that the Germans re-
alize keenly that they, for the time
being at any rate, are relegated to the
diplomatic background. The most not
able feature of all perhaps is the uni.
versal recognition of King Edwards
personal importance and influence

COAL FOR THE POOR.
Appeal from Organized Charities As

Appeal from Organized Charities As-
 soeiation.
 The Organized Charities association herewith appeals for funds to replenish It's relief account, it having been drawn against by many items of expense, in the last few months
 This fund is used for various relief expenses, and the calls upon it have been usually large during the year. particularly from the lodging house for homeless men and women. It is were possible to keep the lodging house fully occupied it would pay for itself, but as the running expenses are practically the same the year round Git being never closed, and thus available at any hour of the mighty, a shortage sometimes oc- CUTS, which is covered from the relief account.
 The main use of this holiday fund, however, is to help resident people, and at the Thanksgiving season, this help is largely expended in coal supplies, with food orders, where that seems to be the greater need.
 The number of people coming to the attention of the association this fall, I is somewhat in excess of last years ex- perience, both of resident and non-resi- dent poor, and their needs have to be met promptly and adequately.

PUTTING IT STRONG.
But poesn,t # Look ReasonabIe.

This may read as though we were putting it little strong, because it is generally thought by the majority of people that Dyspepsia in it's chronic form is incurable or practically so. But we have long since shown that Dyspep- sia is curable, nor is it such a difficult matter as at first appears.
 The trouble with Dyspeptics is that they are continually dieting, starving themselves, or going to opposite ex- treme, or else deluging the already overburdened stomach with ''bitters," 'after-dinner pills" etc, which inva- riably increase the difficulty even if in some cases they do give a slight tenn porary relief. Such treatment of the stomach simply makes matters worse. What the stomach wants is a rest. Now, how can the stomach become rested, recuperated and at the same time the body nourished and sustained.
 This is a great secret and this is also the secret of the uniform success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a comparatively new remedy, but it's success and popularity leaves no doubt as to it's merit.
 The tablets will digest the food any way, regardless of condition of stom- ach.
 The sufferer from Dyspepsia, accor- ding to directions, is to eat an album dance of good, wholesome food, and use the tablets before and after each meal, and the result will be that the food will be digested no matter how bad your dyspepsia may be, because, as before stated, the tablets will digest the food even if the stomach is wholly inactive. To illustrate our meaning. plainly, if you take 1,S00 grains of meat eggs or ordinary food, and place it in a temperature of 98 degrees, and put with it one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab let's it will digest the meat or eggs all most as perfectly as if the meat was enclosed within the stomach.
 The stomach may be ever so weak, yet these tablats will perform the work of digestion and the body and brain will be properly nourished, and at the same time radical, lasting cure of Dyspepsia will be made because the much abused stomach will be given, to some extent, much needed rest. Your druggist will tell you that of all the many remedies advertised to cure Dyspepsia, none of them have given so complete and general satisfaction as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, and not least in importance in these hard times is the fact that they are also the cheapest and give the most good for the leazt keSney.
