WHAT TIME PROVES.

This thing of being sick and looking for
a cure is a mighty serious business PeO-
pie are not given TO joking even at the
first symptom Of the approach of the
Grim Destroyer. They do not want to be
the subjects Of experiment. but want
medicine that has had the test of years
behind il. A medicine that has been
made and used for twenty years gives
assurance OF its worth. and can be taken
with a faith that they have the very
best cure the world affords All this can
be said about DR.. Gums Improved Liver
Pills as remedy for sick-headache dys-
pepsia and indigestion. It begins right
at the source of the trouble and re
moves the cause. Sold by all druggists

CLOUDS ARE CLEARING.
Less Danger of Other Powers Mixing
in the War.

Paris. March 3.-To the qualification
of France better relations between
Russia and Great Britain are promised
as the result Of the visit of Count
Benckendorff, the Russian ambassador
to Great Britain, TO St. Petersburg.
From an authoritative source il is
learned that Count BenckendOrff not
only carried verbal assurances Of the
absolute neutrality Of Great Britain in
the war. but that he was the bearer Of
documents establishing the fact that
the London government did not want
war and had used determined efforts
TO prevent it. urging on Japan the fact
that the British press did not repre-
sent the attitude or wishes OF the Brit
ish government. Official advices from
St. Petersburg show that Count Benck-
endorffs representations cleared away
many suspicious entertained by the
Russian authorities. Russia does not
desire unfriendly relations with Great
Britain. She therefore met the British
government half way. and II is under
stood that Count BenckerdOrff was
with most conciliatory meas
ureS by the car.

No Danger Of Spreading.

This new phase Of the situation which
has been the subject OF conversation
by Foreign Minister Delcasse and the
ambassadors accredited TO France has
given rise 10 a feeling in official and
diplomatic circles that ii will be pos
sible after all to confine the far eastern
war TO Russia and Japan.
The regretted action of various Eu
ropean countries in arming Is not con-
sidered as having any other bearing
than preparation for eventualities.
which, in the present optimistic frame
OF mind of the authorities are not like
" 10 come to pass. There is doubt stu
in official circles regarding the policy
of Germany toward Russia Advices
received here indicate that Germany
assured Russia that France inspired
the recent note of Secretary Hay re-
garding Chinese neutrality, while
France claims and Russia is satisfied
that Germany made the first sugges-
ton 10 the United states.
