MADAME BCVEAS TESTIFIES.
A Distinguished tdy After Travells
(or Six Years to Search of Healtk,
at Last Finds It la Dodd's
Kidney Pill.
Hot Springs, Ark., March 13. (Spe
cial.) This popular resort numbers
among its patrons many of the world's
most distinguished men and women,
but none more so than Madam Isabella
Ellen Baveas, Life Governor of the
Free Masons Grand Lodge of England.
Madam Baveas, like most of the
other visitors, came here in search of
health. She was not disappointed, but
her cure was not found in the virtue
of the baths, but in a few boxes, of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which,
she found en sale here, and which Is
being us-ed and with wonderful success
by a number of the visitors to Hot
Springs. She says:
"I traveled almost constantly for the
past six years in the Interests of my
Society, and my health gradually be
came broken down, through the change
of food, water, climate, etc The doc
tors told me I had diabetes and advised
me to go to the Springs, as they could
do nothins for me. While there my
attention was called to Dodd's Kidney
Pills by a fellow sufferer, who had
been greatly benefited by using them.
"I profited by her experience and
bought a box. and then another, and
so on until I had used seven boxes. It
Is with gratitude that I state that they
cured me completely, and I am now
jablejto take up the duties of life oace
more. I am very thankful for what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for mo,
and as a grateful woman shall never
hesitate to recommend them to any
one suffering with Diabetes."
The very satisfactory experience of
this distinguished woman should be
an encouragement to all similar suffer
ers. Dodd's Kidney Pills are 50c a box,
six boxes for 2.50. Buy them from
your local druggist if you can. If he
cannot supply you, send to the Dodd's
Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

WARNING FROM JAPAN!

MtSf Kr AWAY FNM KtiEA.
LONDON, March 23. The Foreign
takes a aesslmtsnc view of the
Immediate situatloa im the east, im
smite of the settlement of the Tiem
Tstm question, amd entertains grave
tears that the relations' between Japam
aad Kmesia may shortly reach the
danger peimt Judging from iafonma-
"tiea obtained ia various emVial quar
ters in Loadcn, Japam has confided te
at least some of the powers her deter
mination to oppose, at all costs, any
secret agreements made between Rus
sia amd China by which the former
could secure territorial or other ad
vantages contiguous to Korea.
The British government has receiv
ed no official confirmation that the
Japanese fleet is mobilizing, but it
would mot be surprised to learn such
were the facts. A highly-placed Brit
ish official said to a representative of
the Associated Press today:
"All Japan wants is a free hand
against Russia. This she has got, so
far as England and Germany are con
cerned, and, I presume, so far as the
United States government i concern
ed, although I do not Imagine for one
moment that any of the powers men
tioned would be drawn into a fight
between Japan and Russia. If Japan
sees nothing for it but to fight she
would have the moral support of ob
jections committed to paper by at
least two other powers against secret
treaties with China That is all; but
Japan seems to consider it sufficient
to provide against interference."
Confirmation of the foregoing defini
tion of the situation was afforded by
the secretary of the Japanese legation,
who said, in the course of an inter
view: "While rejoicing at the fact that
England and Russia have reached a
pacific settlement over the minor Is
sue, the main question the integrity
of the Chinese empire remains unset
tled. In response to pressure brought
by Japan upon Russia it was announc
ed that Russia's secret treaties with
China had been modified, but the
termarhave been withheld: Until we
see the treaties we will not be satis
fied that the modification does not
consist of words merely, without any
alteration In the spirit In this con
tention we believe other powers will
support us."
It appears that Great Britain would
be quite willing to refer the whole
Manchurian matter to arbitration on
the lines of The Hague conference.
The Tien Tln siding affair is not
considered important enough to be dis
posed of in this way and It will im
mediately become a matter of diplo
matic Interchange between St Peters
burg and London.

well by raising wheat only; still, it la
far from ideal farming. Not oaly
win such a course, if persisted ia, have
the effect of causing the land to run
oat, as has been the experience of
those who pursued the same plan in
the wheat-producing prairie States to
the south of as, but it is far from be
ing the most profitable course to
adopt
This fact la already being demon
strated In Manitoba. Let the farms in
this Western country be managed upon ;
the lines which were successful la the '
Eastern Provinces, and much more
can be done here In a given time than
was ever doae la the East The proba
bilities of failure are practically nil.
Upon the farm there should be found
horses, cattle, sheep, hogs aad poultry,
according to the ability of the farmer,
with respect to his means and the ex
tent of his holding. The wanton waste
which has hitherto been practiced by
many farmers, that of burning vast
quantities of excellent fodder after
threshing is done, should cease; it
should aU be used upon the farm and
converted into the old, sensible kind
of fertilizer manure, and afterwards
be returned to the soil, so that what
has been taken from it by the crop
may be restored. Although admitting
that the great natural fertility of the
soU la Manitoba and the success that
has attended the growing of wheat
after wheat for years upon the same
lead have a tendency to make such a
course aa the one mentioned tempting,
yet, if continued, wheat growing upon
the same land year after year ia un
doubtedly a mistake.

make aew homes for themselves, the
low price of some of the best lands In
the world (although rapidly advancing
in price this year) offers still great
opportunities. To all such the invita

here. There is land for all who choose
to come, land upon which happy
homes can be established, and from
which ample resources can be gather

needs to achieve competence in this
domain is common sense and industry.
