The onion la undoubtedly a wholesome article of food. In fact. It haa many medici nal qualities of value, but It would be diffi cult to find a more undtgestlble article than fried onions, and to many propte they re ilmply poison, but tbe onion does not stand alone In this respect. Any artlc e ef food that la not thoroughly digested be comes a aource of disease snd discomfort, whether It be fried onions or beefstesk. The reason why any wholesome food Is ot properly digested Is becsuse ths stom ch lscka some Important element of di gestloa; some stomachs Isck peptone, oihers re deficient la gastric juice, still others Isck hydrochloric scld. Ths one thing necessary to do In any case ef poor digestion Is to supply those ele tnents of digestion which the stomach lacks, nd nothing does this so thoroughly and safely aa Stuart's Dyspepsia Tsblets. Dr. Richardson, In writing a thesis on treatment of dyspepsia and Indigestion, closes his remsrks by saying: "For these suffering from scld dyspepsia, ahown by tour, watery rlalngs, or for flatulent dya pepsla, abowa by gas on stomach, csuslng heart trouble snd difficult breathing, as Well as for other forms of stomach trouble, tbe ssfest treatment Is to take one or two ef Stuart's Dyspepsia Tableta after each meal. I advise them becsuse they contain no harmful drugs, but are composed of valu able digestives, which act promptly upon the food eaten. I never knew a case of Indigestion or even chronic dyspspsla which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tsblets would not reach." Cheap cathartic medicines claiming to cure dyspepsia and Indigestion csn have no effect whatever in actively digesting the food, and to call any cathartic medicine cure for Indlgeatlon Is a misnomer. Every druggist In the United States and Canada sells Stuart's Dyspspsla Tableta, nd tbey are not only the safest and most uecesstul, but the most solentlflo of any treatment for Indigestion snd stomach troubles.

PARIS. Feb. IS. Ths French preas Is following with keea Interest the develop ments of what Is described here aa "Eng land's campaign of calumny" against European nation In ths question of Inter vention In the Spanish-American war. The Journal dee Debata aaya: "The Eng lish press will admit that ths British gov ernment has underlsken a campaign of slsnder in o'der to mske England popu lar In the In 1 ted States. If. however, Dr. von Holebcn's dispatch Is correct, the re sponsibility tor the 'conspiracy' against the United States falla on Lord Pauncefote and In this case tbe campaign atsrted by England was not only clumay snd Impudent but slanderous. Lord Crsnborns's reply yesterday seems almoat a disavowal of Lord Pauncefote." I Ths Temps thinks Grest Britain is get ting orated In the controveray with Ger many and says: "Ths United States must Just now feel ths emotion of a young belle, who for tbe first time hss come In con tact with the pressing admiration of amor ous rtvala. They are quarreling aa to who shall enjoy her good gracee and not merely over the queatlon aa to who may Inalnti ate himself Into her favor, but aa to who has proven her true, great and only friend. Dr. von Holeben'a dlapatch totally upsets the English stories, and according to Lord Crsnborns's statement, England Is tsklng refuge In the disavowal of Its ambassador. It la a pitiable spectacle." Governsneat Net Hespoostole. BERLIN, Feb. 18. After Lord Crsn- borne'a repeated atatementa on the subject In the Bittlah Houas of Commons it ta now generally recognised here, except In tbe extremely anglopbobe press, tbst tbe Brit ish government was not privy to Lord Pauncefote's action April 14, 1898. Oerman government circles are now will ing to concede this, though emphasising the impossibility of Germsny knowing that Lord Pauncefote acted without Instructions from hie government, It being against all diplomatic precedenta for an ambassador to make so Important a proposition with out Inatructiona. The explanation that Lord Pauncefote acted in behalf of Dr. Hengelmuller, the Austrian minister, while not rejected ab solutely, la not regarded as exposing Dr. von Holeben to blame for a misconcep tion, since Lord Pauncefote gave no In timation In the conference that he was aubmlttlng another proposition, and the Impression made on the ambasssdor's uni formly was that it waa aubmltted on Lord Pauncefote's initiative. There is no disposition here to keep the controversy alive, alnce it ia proved that Germany took no unfriendly atep agalnat tbe United Btatea.

It was my privilege recently to csll upon the world fsmous Mrs. Pinkham st Lynn, Mass. I must confess thst among all news psper women there hss always been a great feeling that Mrs. Plnkhsm wss a myth; we are so familiar with advertising methods we grow to be akeptlcsl and always taks such ststements as sre made In the Plnk hsm advertisements, ss well as all other advertising, with the proverblsl "grain of salt," but, aa before elated, being near the city of Lynn, Mass., I thought I would in vestigate a little in order to satisfy my curloaity, and I must say I wss surprised at what I found. To begin with I had no Idea that the Lydla E. Ptnkbara estsblishment wss any thing Ilka the immense slie that it is, and when the atreet car stopped In front of a great collection of buildings and the con ductor told me that It waa tbe Lydla E. Pinkham Labratcry, I should have been sure he had made a mistake had it not been for a small sign which is on ons of the original buildings. Upon entering the office I was received ny a very courteous lsdy and was very much impressed by ths fsct thst all the occupants of the room were women and although my sojourn in the buildings cov ered something more than an hour visiting the entire place and private office, I aaw nothing but women, and waa alao pleased to learn that no man ever bad access to these rooms. I wss satisfied thst their claims that this is strictly a woman's Institution were altogether truthful. After atatlng ths purpose of my visit I was introduced to Mrs. Pinkham. who turned me over to a bead assistant with Inatructiona that I was to be shown every thing In and about the labratory, and par ticularly asked me to visit the "private let ter department," which I did. Tbia Is the department In which Is received hundreds of thoussnds of letters from ailing women, and in which every letter Is opened, care fully conaldered by competent persons under Mrs. Plnkhsm'a guidance and care fully and accurately answered by women only, so particular Is Mrs. Plnkhsm about having even a suspicion of these letters going through a business office where msn are allowed to frequent tbat she will not allow a typewrltsr to be used and every letter that goes out of this office Is written by hsnd by women. I was also shown posi tive evidence, which clearly satisfied me on tbe point that no letters are published unless the writer's speclsl permission Is first obtained. To say that all this was a revelation la putting It mildly, and when I was shown the great cabinet of fllea that contain thou ssnds upon thoussnds of letters, then, and only then, did I begin to realise the magni tude of Mrs. Pinkham'i work. Just think of it, every one of these letters had been answered as carefully as the most com petent knowledge could dlctste, and not one cent has ever been charged for advice. I saw where more than one million such let ters were filed, and I began to feel that this one woman was doing more good among tbe alck women of America than any combina tion of men and women tbat I ever heard of. I came away from Mrs. Plnkham's labra tory feeling that it was my duty to all women to use my facilities as a newspaper writer to assure them thst what I saw con vinced me that Mrs. Pinkham Is more com petent to advise sick women tbsn sny other one person in the United 8tates. Ths vol ume of information which she hss collabo rated during the last twenty years contains a record of every kind of female Illness tbat a human being could possibly develop, and that nowhere In the world could a woman get more accurate and helpful advice In re gard to her illness than by writing to Mrs. Plnkhsm, at Lynn, Mass. I hsve no In terest In Mrs. Pinkham or the Pinkham Medicine Co., but I have a atreak of hu manity In my make-up, and I cannot rest without unburdening my mind in regard to this matter, and every time I see the fol lowing paragraph in a newspsper, I csn hardly keep from aaylng out loud while I am readlnc It, "every word of that la true, and every woman who ia 111 and doea not take advantage of Mrs. Plnkham's advice la slowly committing suicide. Ths para graph referred to ia as follows: "Women suffering from any form of female weakness ars invited to freely com municate with Mra. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only, thus hss been established the eternal confidence between Mra. Pinkham and the women of America which baa never been broken and has In duced more tbsn 100,000 sufferers to write to her for advice during tba last four months. Out of the vast volume of experi ence which she bss to draw from, it Is more than possible that shs has gained the vary knowledge tbat will help your case. 8be asks nothing lu return except your good-will, . and her advice has relieved thoussnds. Surely any woman, rich or poor. Is very foolish if she does not take ad vantage of this generoua offer of assist ance." Margaret L. Brlggs.
