Paris Money Market Fears a Forty

Paris, April 3O.-Some of the most
important details of the payment of
$40, 600, 900 to the Panama Canal COM

open. This is due to the desire to
effect the payment without causing a
disturbance of the French money mar

France, which is a government insti-

With all the luxuries and pleasures
of this life, its big enjoyments and it's
smaller comforts, there is an Offset or
antithesis which we have to contend
with in the form of aches and pains.
In some way and by some means
every one has touch of them in
some form at some tim. Trif1ing as
some of them may be, the risk is
that they will grow to something
greater and rack the system with con
slant torture. There is nothing there
fore, of this kind that we have
right to trif1e with. Taken in time,
the worst forms of pains and aches
are easily subdued and cured by the
free use of st. Jacobs Oil. No well
regulated household ought to be with
out bottle of this great remedy for
pain. 1t is tho specific virtue Of pene-
tratiOn in st. Jacobs Oil that carries
it right to the pain spot and effects a
prompt cure even in the most painful
cases of Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Lum-
bago, Sciatica. You want it also in
the house at all times for hurts, cuts
and wounds, and the house that al
ways has it keeps up a sort OF insur-
ance against pain.
