It Ims now been demonstrated
that nine cases out of ten of women’s
disorders, painful and troublesome as
they are, do i ot require the attention
of a physician at all. “Local taeat

have been shown to be entirely un
necessary. The simple, pure wine of
Cardui, taken in the privacy of the
home insures quick relief.
It is entirely unnecessary for any
woman to suffer from these almost
universal complaints. She can get

Why the Greeks arc Demoralized
The present demoralized condition
of affairs in Greece is not due to any
lack of courage on the part of native
Greeks, but largely, if not solely, to
the interference of foreign powers
who will not permit Gree.ce to rule,
herself. Under these circumstances:
it is not sat prising that reverses
should have overtaken the Greek'
cause in Thessalv, and that revolu
tionary fires should have broken out
in the eighborhood o’ Athens
Though K;o-‘George has occupied
the Greek throne for something over
thirty years he has never been in full
touch and sympathy with the people
nor enjoyed the confidence to any
marked degree. This is beeausc of j
his close and intimate relations with
the European (lowers, especially Rus
sia, and except for the influence of
these powers some other sovereign
might, today be rilling in his stead.
Being himself the son of Christian IX
of Denmark, King George is related
to the Britbish government through
the marriage of his sister, Alexandria,
the prince of Wales, and also to the
Russian government through the mar
riage of his sister, Dugina the present
empress dowager, to Alexander 11,
father of the present czar, Nich
olas 11, But the king’s relationship to
the royal family of Russia is not re-
stricted to his sister’s marriage with
the former cor. On October 27,1307
King George himself led to the alter
a member of the royal family, Princess
Olga, daughter of Grand Duke Con
stantine, and niece of Alexander 11.
In a double sense, therefore, the king
tof Greece is related to the I>ussian
government,, and as Greece lia“ little
j fondness for Russia, it is perfectly
1 natural that King George should en
j counter; in some measure at least, the
distrust of his subjects. Being united
by such close tics to the various Eu
ropean powers, he lias nothing in
j common with the Greeks and very
! little claim upon their allegiance. In
the veins of Ins children there is not
a single drop of Greek blood, the
mixture being half Danish and half
Russian. This fact should not be
overlooked in accounting lor the re
cent defeat of the Greek troops under
Prince Constantine. It is charged
that neither King George nor his sons
feels the least interest in the present
campaign apait from its effect,
upon themselves individually,'and in
spile of the dramatic part which they
have taken in recent events the peo- j
pie are by no means blind to what:
they believe to be their insincerity.
This explains fully the recent up
rhin" in Athens and also throws light
® ‘ j
upon the action of the king in dismis
sing lus premier a few'days ago and I
permitting the people to name his
successor.
But, in this connection, it may be
asked how does it happen that a for
eigner occupies the Greek throne ?
Since ;c)i’••■■ ing iher half-waav auton
omy nr Greeks havo submitted to
the guardianship of the poweis, chief
ly Russia, France and England. Tins
is is because of the fact that on July
t>, 1027, these three powers entered
into a compact agreeing to settle all
difficulties between the Greeks and
Turks, and to stand surety for the
yovng kingdom. By virtue of this
intenvenlioM the powers claimed the
right to choose a king for Greece, and
accordingly, selected Prince Otho,
however, the affairs of the kingdom
did not progress satisfactorily, and a
turbulent spirit broke out among the
Greeks which eventually resulted 111
the king’s dethronemhnt. In 1863 I
when King Gorge, then a mere
stripling, came 10 the throne, it was
over the protest of the Greeks, who
preferred a member of the British
royal faily. The powers, however
refused to ratify this choice, believing
that the king should come from one
of the smaller kingdoms and .lot from
one of the leading powers. Accord
ingly, Prince George of Denmark was
selected for the office, and duly en
tered upon the discharge of its duties
The office is one which pays him
handsomely, 'foreign powers paying
$60,000 annually toward the salary,
and, from a monetary view, the king
can hardly be* censured for holding on
to what pays so ell.
f the new ministry which Premier
Ralli is now organizing succeeds in
quieting the discontent of people,
all may yet be well with the king, but
unless order is speedily res and there
is no telling what the res It will be
Much depends upon the and clop ueut
of the next few days, a..<l wU.iu..t an

quietly await these developments.
