Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the
Best Made.

SIN my opinion Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the best made for
colds" says Mrs. Cora Walker of
POrterville, California. There is no
doubt about its being the best. No
other will cure a cold SO quickly. No
other is SO sure a preventive of pneu-
monia. No other is SO pleasant and
safe to take. These r good reasons
why it should be preferred to any
other. The fact is that few people are
satisfied with any other after having
once used this remedy. For sale by

OF these the first is the diluted and partially

The second popular prejudice is the fruit OF a

London. April 26.-Foreign Secretary Grey.
replying TO a question IN the House of Commons
today, said that the British garrison in Egypt
was being strengthened at the suggestion of
Lord Cromer. the British agent there. who con-
sidered the step TO be desirable in view OF the
unrest created by the action OF the Turkish
government in connection with the Tabah boun-
dairy incident.
Lord Cromer's annual report Egypt and
the Soudan was issued in a Blue Book to-day.
he suggests the advisability Of an alteration in
the present capitulations. which he declares are
wholly incompatible with the present conditions
In Egypt. Continuing, the British agent sug-
gests the formation OF separate council COM
posed of subjects protected subjects OF the
powers signatory of the treaties under which
the judicial reforms Of 1876 were accomplished.
all legislation TO be approved by a majority Of
this council, and TO be promulgated by the
Egyptian government with the consent Of the
British government and to be binding all
foreigners resident in Egypt.
Lord Cromers idea is 10 do away with the
present necessity for obtaining the unanimous
consent Of nearly all the European powers and
the United States before any change Of law can
be effected. He explains that under the
proposal the powers, with the exception OF Great
Britain, viii cease 10 exercise any legislative
functions. and adds that so long as nfteen sep
arate powers possess the right to veto new
legislative proposals, any attempt TO introduce
reforms necessary to the country Is practically
hopeless.
Lord Cromer specifically advises against the
British government claiming any special priVi-
leges for British subjects. He says their inter
ests are Identical with those Of all the other
Europeans and Americans resident In Egypt
and do not require special protection in the sug-
gested council
