SWEDEN.

London, Aug. IA rumor In Lon
don today that Sweden might take
part in the war. fighting against Rus
STA, brought statement from the
Swedish minister In the British cap
ital that Sweden's determination to re-
main neutral is as firm as ever.
"Sweden's decision to remain neu-
trail is as firm as ever" said Count
Wrangel! There is no foundation for
the rumors. and the suggestion that
Sweden contemplates action for re-
covery of Finland is absurd. Premier
Sazonoff's speech In the Russian duma
on Sunday clearly indicates the rela-
lions between Sweden and Russia are
OF the most friendly nature"
The London Morning Post today de-
clared the attitude of Sweden toward
Russia and the latter's allies for some
time has revealed elements Of a dis
quieting character.
''Emboldened by recent German sue
cesses," the newspaper says, "the lat
ent hostility of Sweden, which has
never forgiven the loss of Finland, has
become strongly developed. Consid-
cradle preparations for warlike con-
tingencies have been made in north
ern Sweden, and the Swedish army is
fully modified. II Sweden persists in
her unfriendly attitude toward Rus
STA, she may rapidly drift into a war
which would inevitably be great OBJ
stacle to her future progress"
II Is Just so years since the Vaxio
& Alfvesta railway was opened for
public traffic. It was feared that II
would not pay its running expenses for
a long time, but this fear soon proved
to be groundless.
The Swedish Methodist conference,
which was held at Kristinehamn,
passed peace resolution which de-
clares that war is not divine ar
Hangement. The resolution also con-
tanned fervent thanks to the Swedish
government for maintaining policy
of strict neutrality,

Wild rabbits have been multiply
ing at an alarming rate in the COM

in the open fields, where they devour
the grain and clover and dig deep

dangerous to the horses.

At last, standing disconsolate be-
side the fountain, it occurred to her
suddenly to make an attempt to re-
cover her ring. She CROPPED wildly
for the jewel until the sleeve of her
white gown was drenched.
At that moment there seemed to
her to be only one desirable thing in
the world to be acccmplished-to re-
cover the ring and restore It to her
finger.
With this thought racing dizzily
through her head, it was small won

and went plump into the wide basin.

WIIIemstad. Port Of Dutch Island Of
Curacao. One Of tbs Worlds Most
Delightful Spots.

Willemstad, the port of the Dutch is
land of Curacao, is a quaint little
town, and with its rows of brightly
colored tiled houses of Dutch construc-
ton reminds one very forcibly of the
pictures of "Spotless Town" The
Dutch government maintains a gar
rison of home troops there and the
island is under the management OF
a governor sent from Holland.
The natives speak hardly a word Of
Dutch, but employ a patois composed
of nearly all languages, with Spanish
predominating. This patois is called
papiamento."
The harbor OF Willemstad is very
beautiful. with a depth of water SUM-
cient to accommodate the largest
ships. Steamers enter the harbor
through a picturesque pontoon bridge
constructed by an American consul
who was stationed there for some
years.
The water in the harbor is a clear
bottle green color and the masts OF
a vessel that was sunk at the dock
years ago can be plainly seen. A
quaint tramway line with almost toy
cars drawn by one mule serves as
carrier for the population.
From Curacao the American steam
ers with transshipped cargoes run
across the very important town Of
Maracaibo. in the Gulf of Maracaiho.
Maracaibo is one of the most impor-
tant commercial ports OF Venezuela,
serving as an outlet for all the coffee

How to be Strong and Fat.

The trouble with most thin people
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugginy their stomach or
stuffing 1t with greasy foods; rub
bing on useless 'nesh creams" or
following some foolish physical cul-
ture stunt, while the real cause OF
thinness goes untouched. You cam
not get fat until your digestive tract
assimilates the food you eat.
Thanks to remarkable new sci
entiflc discovery, 1t Is now possible to
combine into simple form the very
elements needed by the digestive or
gans to help them convert food into
rich. fat-iaden blood. This master
stroke OF modern science is called
Tonoline and has been termed the
greatest of flesh-builders. Tonoline
aims through its regenerative. recon-
structive powers to coax the stomach
and intestines to literally soak up the
fattening elements Of your food and
pass them into the blood, where they
are carried to every cell and tissue OF
your body. You can readily picture
the result when this amazing trans
formation has taken place and you
notice how your cheeks fill out. hol-
lows about your neck, shoulders and
bust disappear and you take on from
10 to 80 pounds of solid. healthy
flesh. Tonoline is absolutely harm
less. inexpensive. efficient. Tonoline
costs only $1.00 for a 60-days' treat
nent. Mail orders filled by Amerl-
can Proprietary Co.. Boston, Mass.
