PURE RICH BLOOD
PREVENTS DISEASE

Bad blood.-that is. blood that Ii
impure or Impoverished. thin and pale
is responsible for more ailments
than anything else.
It affects every organ and func-
ton. In some cases It causes catarrh;
I'm others, dyspepsia; in others, rheu-
natism; and in still others. weak. tired,
1anguid feelings and worse troubles.
1t is responsible for run down con-
ditions, and is the most common cause
of disease.
Hoods SarSaparlla is the greatest
purifier and enricher of the blood the
world has ever known. It has been
wonderfully successful in removing
scrofula and other hunors, increasing
the red blood corpuscles. and building
up the whole system. Get it today.

The British government was offici-
ally informed by Belgium today that
and that the violation ct that coun-
trys neutrality, which the British for
efgn secretary yesterday intimated
must be followed by action on the
part Of the British, had become an
accomplished fact.
Definite announcement OF Great Bril-

In the meantime John Burns has
resigned from the British cabinet and

Germany to hand the French ambas

The open breach between France and
Germany was rapidly followed by the
appearance of German troops on
French territory and by an inctirsion
of bomb hurting German aeroplanes
which attacked the fortified town OF
Buneville without doing anything more
than damage q roadway.
French airmen and outposts were
also reported to have made raids on
German territory
A more tangible occurrence was the
bombardment of a French naval sta
ton at Bona, Algeria. by q German
cruiser. which however retired before
doing much damage. 1t now Is cruis-
