Loudon, Dec. 8.—Premier Balfour announced in the house of commons today that an ultimatum had been sent to Venezuela and that in the event of satisfactory reply not having been received), the British and Herman gov rnments would take measures to en force their claims against that coun try. Mr. Balfour, when questioned on the Venezuelan situation by the Liberal leader. Sir Henry Campbell-Banner man, said; 'For the pact two years we have had grave cause for complaint on va rious occasions of unjustifiable inter ference by the Venezuela i*5vernment with the liberty and property of her subjects.

One Very Common Cause, Generally Over- Looked. Headache is a symptom, an indication of derangement or disease in some organ, and the cause of the headache is difficult to locate because so many diseases have headache as a prominent symptom ; de rangement of the stomach and liver, heart trouble, kidney disease, lung tronblej^sye strain or ill fitting glasses all produce headaches and if we oonld always locate the organ which is at fault the care of obstinate headaches wonld he a much simpler matter. However, for that form of headache called frontal headache, pain back of the •yes and in forehead, the cause is now known to be catarrh of the head, and throat; when the headache is located in back of head and neck it is often caused from catarrh of the stomach or liver. At any rate catarrh is the most com mon canse of each headaches and t lie cure of the catarrh causes a prompt dis appearance of the headaches. There is at present, no treatment for catarrh so convenient and effective as Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets, a new interna] remedy in tablet form, composed of antiseptics like red gum. blood root which act upon the blood and canse the elimination of the catarrhal poison from the system through the natnral chan- nels. Miss Cora Ainsley, a prominent school teacher in one of our normal schools, peaks of her experience with catarrhal headaches and eulogizes Stnart's Catarih Tablets] as a enre for them. She says : '•I suffered daily from severe frontal headache and pain in and back of the eyes, at times so intensely as to incapac itate mein my dailv duties. I had suf fered from catarrh, more or lesB for years, bnt never thought it was the oanse of my headache, bnt finally be came convinced that each was the case because the headaohes were alwavs worse when I had a cold or fresh attack of ]ca- tarrh. “Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets were highly recommended to me as a safe and pleas ant catarrh cure and after using a few fifty cent boxes whioh I procured from my druggist's I was surprised and de lighted to find that both the catarrh and headaches had gone for good.’’ “Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets are sold by druggists at fifty cents per package, nn der the guarantee of the proprietors that they contain absolutely no cocaine (found in bo many catarrh cures) opium (so common in cheap congb cures) nor any harmfnl drag. They contain simply the wholesome antisep tics necessa.y to destroy and drive from the system the germs of catarrhal dis Trains Delayed—Stock Is Suffering In tensely. Milwaukee. Dec.
