British Pres© Comment.
Loudon. April 19.—The London news-
papers this morning, commenting on ths
attitude of Italy toward Turkey, take
differing views, some of them regard-
ing the affair as rather trivial and
better suited for arbitration than for
a threat of force. Much Interest is
displayed in the attitude Germany is
likely to adopt. The Times says:
"The sultan may derive one consola-
tion from the fact that while the pow-
ers are seeking to vindicate their in-
dividual rights, they are not likely to
tirely. * .
The loss to the county in crops and
fencing will reach 11.000,000 or mor©,
and the scarcity of seeds for replanting
will curtail the acreage of all crops.
Owing to the lateness of the season all
crop returns will be short. No malls
out or in and all phone lines down,
with no prospect of communicating
with the outside world for several davs.

Mrs. Amelia Gwinn, a nurse by oc-

Chicago, III. She said recently:
“When I was living in Tevre Haute,
Ind., some years ago, I was in* bad
health for some months and did not
know what ailed me, only that I did not
feel like myself. My docpor said I was
suffering with indigestion, but he did
not cure me.
"I had severe pains in the stomach
and could not digest any solid food. I
had to diet all of the time and had so
much gas on the stomach that it
seemed at times as though my breath
was leaving me. I was greatly run
down in health and lost in weight.
“I decided on® day to drop the> doc-
tor’s medicine and take Dr. W1lliams
Pink Pills. The flrat few boxes helped
me and I took them until cured. I
gained in weight, my digestion became
good and I have been in splendid health
since. I am glad to recommend Dr. •
Williams' Pink Pills, as they are worth
their weight in gold.”
The remedy which gave Mrs. Gwin
complete health can be obtained at anr
drug store or direct from the Dr. Wil-
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.,
at 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.50.
