If you are one Of ths unfortunates

every tired, weak woman could have
Vinol. for never spent any money
In my life that did me so much good"
The recovery Of Mrs. Smith was

Kaiser Wilhelm has added to his
accomplishments, While he has not
approved the tango, 1t is said that he
has learned the dance with the idea of
eliminating the Objectionable features
and inventing something new that can
be introduced into German society
during the summer months. He has
composed one or two dances that are
lifting and beautiful, and these the
various musical organizations are hav-
ing orchestrated in anticipation of
great vogue for them. Crown Princess
Cecilie is fond of dancing and will
probably be selected to teach the roy
al set the new steps devised by her
father-in-law.
When President and Nine. Poincare

located, overlooking the sea. The
house is very spacious and adjoining
it is a building that will be used by
NJ. Poincare's secretary. Special tele-
graph and telephone service will, of
course, be established for government
business, and there will also be the
inevitable detective service.

EUROPEAN NEWS AND VIEWS.

London, April 24.-It is England's
turn to assume the "watchful waiting
attitude as regards her own home rule
conditions. She has, Of course, shared
this distinction with the United States
regarding Mexico for several months
now. The suspicion grows that as the
time for a general election grows near
some new trouble is imminent. The
suffragettes are planning for an I'M
usually active, il not destructive, cam
paign. With the opening Of spring
weather and consequent betterment
of conditions of travelling and easy
escape, it is feared that Great Britain
will see the most notable summer in
its history from a political standpoint.
This relates to the women, for they
do their mischief and run-although
pains are taken to leave suffragette
literature behind. Scotland Yards
forces have been increased and may
be even further augmented for the
especial benefit of the ladies'.
Speaking Of suffragettes, number
of prominent women will be leaving
London early next week for Rome to
attend the International Suffrage Con-
gress to be held there early in May
Several American women will also at
tend the sessions, notably the Rev.
Anna Howard Shaw. DR.. Shaw will
be received by the Pope in private
audience, and as it is the first time
that such an honor has been conferred
on the suffragists they are making fine
capital out of it.
Hard times will not be peculiar to
the United States this summer. In
France the farming districts have suf-
fered heavy losses from frosts and ice
and the wheat and oat crops have
been greatly damaged. Fodder plants
have also suffered. The only hope
that the farmers have is that belated
yields will help them to make up for
some of the losses sustained in the
early destruction of their crops.
