William Waldorf Astor Com?
pletes Purchase of London
Globe.
NOW OWNS THREE PAPERSj
Hopes to Turn Out Liberal Min?
istry and Secure His
Reward.
London, January 14.?William Wal- I
dort Actor has practically completed
negotiations (or the purchase of tho
Globe, London's oldest established
evening paper, from Cyril Harmeworth,
a brother of Lord Northcllffo. and un
Uis a hltoh occurs this American
born realdent of England and British
subject will be In control of no fewer
than three organs, which, throughout ,
their largo and In somo respects 1m- j
portent careors, have played no In- ;
considerable part In Influencing Eng?
lish public opinion. The two papers
already ownet by Mr. Astor are the i
Pall Mall daunt,, and the Observer, a :
Sunday paper.
The power behind the throne, the [
force directing tho employment of
the Astor money, is J. L. Oarvln, a
journalist who has played a highly
important role In English politics and
who, aa the Rlchellus or Mazarln of
-Mr. Astor, may raise his master to'
heights of power and Influence. (
Mr. Astor's ambitions, if common re- j
port be true, are not of an epoch-mak?
ing kind. He has no de6lre to found
a dynasty. What he has In view is
merely the foundation of a family?an
English family, that is?of which he
would be the flret earl, or possibly
the first marqu'p.
A dukedom, as hie experlenoo of
English life has shown him. would
be outside the realm of practical poli?
tics In tho first or even th0 second
generation, but an earldom or even
a marqulsate le cot beyond the reach
'of a man, who. owning three Im?
portant Conservative papers, can hasten
the fall of a Liberal m'nlstry.
To a closo student of English politics
Mr. Garvln's plan of campaign Is be?
ing rapidly developed In tho columns
of the Observer and the Pall Mall I
Gazette, of which he Is the political :
director.
The weekly Observer Is by no mean;,
such a powerful weapon of attack as
the daily Pall Mall. Ever Elnce Mr.
Garvin took charg? of the inttcr it lias j
been pursuing with both persistence j
and ability a policy designed to sap the I
foundations of that public confidence I
upon which a British ministry must
count for continuance In office. Re?
cent by-elsotloric hav? filled the. Union?
ists with the hope that the pendulum
Is swinging their way. and Mr. Garvin
particularly Is confident that In two
years' time the Liberal government
will have exhausted its mandate.

FRIEND'S ADVICE
BRINGS RESULTS,
Lady in China Grove Acts On Her
Friend's Advice, And Meets
With Good Fortune.
China Grove, X. C.?Mr;. Bertha
Ervin says, in a letter from this place: "I
suffered badly from nervousness. I had
the backache; and my side hurt so that I
was not able, to do my work.
| A friend advised me to try Cardui, and
I commenced to take it. I have now used
two bottles, and am as ftrong as ever,1
1 and feel fine.
! I am thankful for what Cardtii has done
for me. It is just the thing for women [
who suffer from any such troubles. I
recommend the remedy to all my friends
who suffer from womanly ailments.
I cannot say enough for Cardui. It has
saved me a whole lot of suffering."
Cardui is successful because it contains
ingredients that act specifically on the
weak womanly organs. It seems to go
to the spot, reach the trouble, relieve the I
symptoms, and helps to drive away the
cause.
Being composed exclusively of vegcta-1
ble ingredients, which act in a natural
and gentle manner, it does its work safely
and without bad after-effects.
For fifty years Cardui has been reliev?
ing pain and distress caused by womanly
troubles, so you may surely rely on it.
If you suffer from any symptoms of
womanly trouble, take Cardui and get
well. At the nearest drug store.

who filed their petition withdrew it.
In order to have their namos re?

Secretary of Stnto Wait also decided
there was nothing lr. tho law to pre- ?
vent the name of a man appearing

Dear 8lr,?We have been invited
to a wcddlnr; and wo have got to
take a present. We want to do some?
thing original, as we are teolly fond j
of the young people and sympathise j
with them deeply. Can't you offer a
suggestion? MRS. It. G.
Tile wedding present question Is a|
mooted one. Wa know It Is a mooted
one, for wo have just looked mooted
up In the dictionary. People who are
original along othor lines seem to
become worse than prooalc when it,
comes to selecting gifts. The average
young couple starts out In married
life with enough cutglass "berry bowls
to last a lifetime, with tho hired girl i
rmiaahlng three every day. A-lmost
everybody seems to wait until tho last
moment, und then run to tho store and
grab off a t3.")S cutglass hcrry IbOWl,
whioh looks at least Ilka $7, and then
hasten with It to tho weddlnj. Tho
rest of tho people take mantel clocks
A person may bo very fond of berries
and may also be very punctual and
like to know exaotly what time It Is
aa-ery mtnute of the day, but there Is
a possibility of overdoing the thlner
It bos never occurred to about DO per
cent, of tho Inhabttante of this more
or less enllRhtoned country that there
Is anything a young couple will accept1
besides outclass bowl-'und gold mantel
clocks.
But you want somothlng original, j
We will name over a few original gifts
and you can take your choice:
Wheel chair.
Ton of furnace ooel.
Nickel-plated wringer.
Electric belt.
One dozen porous plasters.
Order on dentist for set of false
