DIRECTED BY WASHINGTON
Bowen Is Acting Under Specific Orders
to Protect Americans.

Washington, March 21.-In calling
upon President Castro for an answer to
his proposition to submit to arbitration
the issues between the United States
ing in accordance with specific instruc-
tions from the state department..
Mr.. Bowen made a proposition Of
this kind to the Venezuelan foreign Of
fee several months ago, but it's consid-
Grafton was cut off by the abrupt de-
parture of President Castro.
s The senfar nnn9 had
arbitration by The Hague tribunal, but
with the important qualification that
the tribunal should arbitrate as pre-
iminary the question as to whether the
United States government had the right
under international law to intervene at
all as between the Venezuelan govern
ment and American concesslonalres.
Calvo Doctrine Again.
This was construed here as an at
tempt to bring into play the old Calvo
doctrine, which the United States has
resolutely and repeatedly refused to ae-.
cept in its negotiations with the south
ern republics. So Mr.. Bowen asked
for instructions, which were prepared
with great care after Attorney General
, Moody had furnished an opinion that
the proceedings in the Venezuelan
courts involving the asphalt company's
properties amounted to denial OF JUS
tice. "
Mr.. Bowen was told to renew his
proposition for free arbitration, as
he has now done.
! Beside the New York and Bermudez
| ashphalt case, three other matters are
suggested for arbitration, namely, the
-, Critchfeld claim (also based on an
| asphalt concession); the claim of the
Orinoco Steam Navigation company,
based on violated franchise, and the
! claim Of the newspaper correspondent,
Jaurett, for damages for his expulsion
from Venezuela.
Coercion for Castro.
| If President Castro rejects this last
offer it is expected Bowen will promptly
report to the state department and it
will be determined what course to pur-
sue. The minister g presentment is not
an actual ~ultimatum, for the way is
still open for further negotiations.
| There is great reluctance to the adop-
ton of coercion, but the situation is
such that some action must be taken
very soon.

Porto Cabello to satisfy British and

GREAT POWER
When Regular Medical Treatment
Failed, Dr.. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Her Rheumatism.

Hundreds of people afflicted with rheu-
matism have spent years under the care
of excellent physicians in vain. Then
they have settled down to the conviction
that it is fastened on them for life. Mrs.
Dinsmore was not willing to join the
ranks of the hopeless merely because her
doctor did not know how to help her.
Here is her story:
-Four years ago I suffered greatly
with rheumatism i'll my hands and
knees. After / had been sitting a while
my limbs seemed so heavy could hardly
walk on the first attempt. So long as
kept moving was all right, but just as
soon as stopped, something seemed to
settle in my knees and make them ache.
My hands were SO bad I couldn't touch
the palms of them OH a fiat surface; they
were swollen and panied so,
"Did you call in a physician?"
st doctored steadily for over a year !;
then one doctor said: You have taken
medicine strong enough to kill almost
anything Still, it did not kill me nor
the rheumatism.
elbow, then, did you get rid of it?"
SAT different times I had read in vari-
GUS publications about DR.. Williams
wonderful Pink Pills for Pale People,
and I finally decided to try them. took
them steadily for four months in &C
cordance with the directions. By that
time I was completely cured"
"Have you boon free from it ever
since?'
"Since then I have had but one slight
return of my trouble, and a box or two of
the same pills made me all right again.
Mrs. f. A. Dinsmore lives in hearty
enjoyment Of her recovered health at
Woburn, Mass, entirely freed from the
grave anxieties that rheumatism always
brings. When it appears in but a single
joint it shows that the blood is in faulty
state in the whole body. 1t may at any
moment break out elsewhere, and one Of
the dangers is that it may break out in
the heart and then the result must be
fatal. The only security is to keep the
blood all the time in a perfectly sound
condition.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills make healthy
blood. All other relief is superficial.
This is thorough. These pills are sold
by all druggists.

MIGHT HAVE SAVED 1T.
A Lot of Trouble from Too Much
StarChy Food.

A Lot of Trouble from Too Much
Starchy Food.
A little boy of eight years whose
parents did not feed him on the right
kind of food, was always nervous and
suffered from weak condition of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and at
ter the operation the doctor. knowing
that his intestinal digestion was very
weak, put him on Grape-Nuts twice a
day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his father states,
"He has grown to be strong, muscu-
lar, and sleeps soundly, weighs 62
pounds, and his whole system is in a
fine condition of health" Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
1t is plain that if he had been put
on Grape-Nuts at an earlier period
in his life, and kept from the use of
foods that he could not digest, he never
would have had appendicitis. That
disease is caused by undigested food
decaying in the stomach and bowels,
causing irritation and making for the
growth of all kinds Of microbes, set
ting up a diseased condition which is
the active cause of appendicitis, and
this is more marked with people who
do not properly digest white bread.
Grape-Nuts is made of the selected
parts of wheat and barley and by the
peculiar processes of the cooking at the
factory, all of the starch is turned into
sugar ready for immediate digestion
and the more perfect nourishment of
all parts of the body, particularly the
brain and nerve centers.

Wellville," found in each pkg.
