With Great Britain, Russia and Japan the Uni ted States is at issue on matters of importance, matters not to be treated as insignificant because not fundamental. One may believe implicitly all that officials of the British government have said re- gently about desire for enduring amity with the United States felt by Great Britain, and at the same time understand that dissent and resentment arising from the Amer ican governments determination to discriminate on Panama tolls, can hardly fail to lessen the disposi- tion of Britons to aid the United States in some of it's present com plications with foreign powers.

Make The Stomach
 Go Back To Work
Then is tho Whole System Glad. Purola Dyspepsia Tablets VIII Quickly Put the Stomach In Shape.

When the stomach fails to do it's work properly the whole machine of man is unstrung and wholly in- capable of work. This condition obtains from the tiniest nerve to the big strong pumping heart.
 It is wise law of nature that has made the stomach mans strong est organ, but when 1t stops work man ought to realize that 1t does so because it can continue no longer.
 Purola Dyspepsia Tablets will certainly give the stomach the re- pair it needs and is always crying aloud for.
 A tablet taken after each meal will in the course of several hours become a portion O" the digestive fluids. It will build uu these fluids. First in the stomach, then in the intestines.
 The liver is the storehouse of the body. Here are assembled all the reserve fluids of the system and here the various ingredients of Dys- pepsia Tablets mingle with the faulty natural juices and strength en them, or if they are too strong then they will be reduced to their proper strength and proportion.
 Purola Dyspepsia Tablets con tain a single ingredient, one grain of which is sufficient to digest 5000 grains of food. Just think how gratefully such an element is received into a body that cannot digest at all without a new weaken ing of the already depleted juices.
 Go to Keller Bros. Drug Co this very day and obtain a box of Purola Dyspepsia Tablets, price 50 cents. A weeks trial will make you new man and your stomach will go back to work.

purely tactical if no higher motives, should face the problem of ad- justing the canal tolls ill a mood of conciliation. The present, in the light of complications with Mexico and other nations adjacent to yhe canal, is no time to force needless ly upon European powers consider ation of their present and future at titude to the historic claim of the United States of hegemouy on the two continents. Events over which the United States can have no con trol are forcing this process. Why hasten It. by provocative action at Washington?
 There is way out of the canal toll controversy which will end ov- erseas resentment and at the same time not involve national re- treat, and that is by collection of a uniform rate from vessels of all nations. If the United States will compute all the tonnage of the Panama canal and apportion the rate to all nations who use it, no one can then dispute the rights of the U. s. to permit her own ships to have free use of the canal. The United states must settle for the maintenance from her own treasury, and the exemptions granted United States ships must come only after computation of all tonnage, in cluding that of the United States, has given a pro rata charge.

old enough to wonder about such
things, he had had no one to ask
