May Melt Church Bells.

Rome, Feb. 15-A Trieste correspon- dent reports that the Austrian gov ernment has ordered a census of church bells which eventually will be requisitioned with the object of ex- tracing the copper which is soreIy needed blythe military authorities. The requisition of the bells is approv- ed by the ecclesiastical authorities, who have been assured that historical bells will be spared. and the others replaced after the war. The bells will be reQuisitioned only as a last resort. Meanwhile the war office is buying up all available copper.
 A cabinet council held at Budapest lsted twelve hours. The ministers dealt exclusively with the question of the food supply. The only way to avert famine appears to be to create a state monopoly. This is considered inevitable, but is delayed for fear of a panic.
 The cost of living is prohibitive and poor can hardly keep body and soul together.

Torpedo Hft Jean Bart.

Paris, Feb. 16.-Late in December Viennese papers reported that the battleship Goubert hadb cen tor pedoed by an Austrian submarine off Pola, iIfs the -Adriatic. The French ministry of marine denied this.
 A graphic letter from an officer shows that the vessel which was tor pedoed was the Jean Bart. No sign of submarine had been observed before the explosion shook the ship.
 A second torpedo passed a hundred yards behind the vessel. The torpedo which struck hit forward and several flooded. Other compartments were flooded. Other compartments were threatened, but an hours hard la Dor prevented further thrush of wa ter. The Jean Bart, which was never compelled to stop, made for a repair port.

YOUR HEAD and STOMACH

Headache caused by disturbed diges-
ton is nearly always accompanied BY
pain in the stomach, belching OF gas,
vomitingan often by constipation. This
sort OF headache is generally located in
the forehead and is not constant but
comes and goes.
II does not come on Immediately after
eating but after the food has lad time to
ferment which it does because the diges-
tive fluids that should take care of it are
insufficient, because the glands that Sc
crete these fluids are weak, because the
blood is failing to nourish these glands
properly.
Rich, red blood is the first essential to
proper digestion and the digestive pro-
cess cannot go on without it. When lack
OF nourishing blood causes fermentation
and poisons are absorbed from the diges.

you OF the fact. DR.. Wiliams' Pink Pills

need to, correct this condition and, with
