BULGARIAN SITUATION.

The Bulgarian cabinet decided to re-
iect the proposal emanating from Lon
don for the payment of indemnity to
Turkey as a condition of recognizing
Bulgaria's independence.
Turkey fears Bulgaria's military ac'
tivity will yet bring on war and de,
clines to be responsible for the re-
suit. Great Britain, France and Rus
sia agreed on a program to be sub
mitted to the other powers as a basis
for the proposed conference.
Germany has assured Turkey she
will follow the lead Of England in the
matter of the annexation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, so that Austria-Hungary
stands alone. The Servian govern
ment believes war will be avoided.
Prince Ferdinand, as the "czar OF
the Balkans" made his triumphal en-
try into the capital amid scenes of pa
triotic enthusiasm. Great Britain re-
ceded from her original position and is
now willing that the proposed confer
ence of the powers to settle the crisis
in the near east shall take under ad-
visement other questions in addition to
those involved in the annexation of
Bosnia and Bulgarian independence.

Menace of the Flying Machine.

Menace Of the Flying Machine
What Emperor William calls the
beginning of a new national era"
seems to be dawning for more than
one nation as one reads the daily re-
ports of successful experiments with
aying machines and dirigible balloons.
We demand now with our mornings
breakfast at least a column Of news
about the flights of airships, and we
usually get it. There is a new kind Of
international race going on-a race
for the perfect airship, and the first
prize in that race is no beautiful
gawd or empty honor; it is the extern
sion of national power and the possi-
BILE supremacy over other nations. At
least it is evident that that view is
held by many in Great Britain and
Germany, and a positive nervousness
is becoming evident over the military
possibilities of the aeroplanes and
dirigibles each is exploiting. Gen.
Baden-Powell calls upon Great Britain
to arouse herself to the new situation
that is impending. In n very few
years" he remarks, ominously, I'VE
shall see these powerful machines in
the air under perfect control and in
practical operation. Ehen every gov
eminent will obtain them and the ma.
vies will be virtually useless as first
line of defense. Current Literature.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gem
uine testimonials as has Lydia e.
Pinkham'S Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
fitted by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, anywOmananydayma may
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to q healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of lydia

The fat woman will have to make
her own neck fixings this winter, so
there seems to be little that she can,
or at any rate, ought to wear in the
stocks and collars displayed. A wide
rutlie at the top of some of the lace
stocks makes a fat woman look like
pouter pigeon, but that will prob
ably not deter her from following the
