restoring health, strength and beauty
to weary women, who have been pre-
maturely aged and invaded by these
distressing ailments, as well as such
sympathetic Affections as anemia, chlo-

Women from the very first have fully
appreciated the purity and sweetness,
the power to afford immediate relief,
the certainty of speedy and permanent

GOOD FOR THE MILITIA.

Vermont is to be congratulated be-
cause of the invitation which the
United States has extended to the YER
mont National Guard to go to Vir-
ginis. This State is understood to be
the only one that has been invited to
send its entire organized militia to
a Ike part in the maneuvers at Msnas-
sas, and that fact is sufficient of itself
to show that the Vermont militia has
high standing with the authorities
in Washington. When the original in
vitation came to send 200 officers and
men, the number asked for was a
rather large proportion of the YER
mont guardsmen as compared with the
number invited from the other States
which have very much larger num-
Der of guardsmen organized and
drilled. Other States were unwilling
to send even the number asked for but
Vermont desired to send more. As a
result Vermont profits by the fact that
the others we're not ready.
The guard will profit much by the
trip. 1t will be two weeks school
of instruction under the control of
the United States and it will mean
good solid work. There will be strict
discipline and the time will be devoted
to learning and practicing the arts of
war under circumstances which will
permit their broader conception. If,
as is expected. mimic warfare is car
ried on during portion of the time
the uses of the different movements
and the reasons for the various COM
mands will be understood and their
manner of execution remembered. 1t
will be as near actual warfare as can
be, and the benefit TO the participants
who desire to know the business of
soldering" will be great

THAT SECRET ALLIANCE.

The Russians are evidently getting
the notion that secret understanding
exists between Japan and China that
may result in China taking hand in
the war in the East. There may be
something to the Russian fears for if
China is to take sides at all she might
better side with Japan than with
Russia in view of the course which
each country is pursuing. Russia
certainly is not following a course in
Manchuria that will tend to alleviate
the fears Of the Chinese. The COM
Wandering of pI ovisions, horses, carts,
and houses, the checking of trade,
and the restriction of commerce are
all practices hardly expected to be
worked on neutral people. But the
necessities Of war might Justify such
acts, while no war justifies the treat
ment to which the natives are reported
to be subjected by the Russian troops
by the pillaging Of the villages and
the abuse and assault of villagers.
1t would not be at all surprising if
the Manchurians were only too glad
to give their support to the Japanese
and the sympathies and interests of
the residents of China proper go with
their brothers in Msnchuria. If re-
ports are true the Manchurians are
justified in taking up arms against the
Russians because of the treatment
they have received. 1t seems that it
would be wise for the Russians to
change their treatment of the Man
churians and Chinese. Then they
would have less occasion to worry
about secret alliances between China
and Japan.
