Silent Enthusiasm.

Charles Rowley, in his book, Fifty Years of Work Without Wages" tells a story against himself. A nature en- thusiast, he was climbing Snowdon and overlook an old gypsy woman. He began to dilate upon the sublimlty of the scenery in somewhat gushing phrases. The woman paid no atten- ton to him. Provoked by her irrespon- siveness, he said: "You don't seem to care for this magnificent scenery?"
 She took the pipe from her mouth and delivered this settler: "T enjies it; I don't jabber."

ALLIES TO GREECE
French Minister to King Constantine's
Domain Explains Feeling OF the
Entente.

Paris, Nov 20, 80 a. m. THE Pa
iris Of Athens says it has obtained
from the French minister to Greece,
Jean Guillemin, an interview, setting
forth the present attitude of the en-
tente powers toward that nation. This
interview, as forwarded by the Havas
Agency, contains the assertion that
the diplomatic negotiations nov in
progress are not being conducted with
a view to intervention In the war b.
Greece, and continued:
The entente powers offered Greece
the opportunity of participating in the
victory and the fruitful harvest.
Greece declined. The allied powers,
which have between 100000 and To-
900, 900 men at their disposal, will gain
the victory without Greece.
THE only thing they ask IL that
Greece shall maintain the benevolent
neutrality she promised. and accord
facilities as agreed The entente pow
ers ask nothing better than the oppor-
tunity TO give Greece any possible as
sistsnce as they have done in the past.
The situation is simply this: Let
each be faithful to the promises made
and ali difficulties will be avoided

Nervous Period
iCaI Headaches
SuCCumh TO Anti.Kamnia Tablets

This trouble commonly called sick head
ache" is said 20 be due 20 the retention Of
urea In the system. Often it is stated that
a poor condition OF the blood Is a cause OF
these headaches, or that IL is nervous
conditions and in certain cases, no doubt
this Is true.
Where treatment is demanded 1t is more
for the pain than anything else, and Dr.
A. H. Schellschmidt OF Louisville, has
found Anti-kamuia Tablets to give prompt
and satisfactory relief Rest should be
insisted upon" he says, "aud the patient
should go to bed, darken the room, and all
the attendants and famil' should be as
quiet as possible. An emetic will some
times shorten the attack. The bowels should
be kept open with 'Actoids'; a hot tbath and
thorough rundown with a coarse towel,
often give grateful relief. Two Anti-kamnia
Tablets when the first signs appear, Will
usually prevent the attack. During an at
tack, one tablet every hour or two Will
shorten the attack and relieve the usual
nausea and vomiting These tablets may
be obtained at all druggists. Ask for Ar
Tablets. They are also unoNcelled for ner-
vous headaches, neuralgia and all pains
