Testimony to the better state of things obtaining in the Congo is given by Mr. Clai'k, an American missionary, who in the bad old days used to attack the abuses of the Leopoldian regime. As the result of a two months' journey of investigation in districts where complaints against the administration used to be of daily occurrence, he writes to the Belgian Minister : "When we entered isolated villages we found that the natives no longer fled aatd hid themselves ac they used to do three yeaavs ago. Confidence in the white man and bis laws is being re- established. We found th© natives occupied near their houses. New habitation^ were being built, larger and finer gardens cultivated. Peace and confidence now reign where formerly there were war and trouble." When coughs distract you every day, To pain and suffering you're a prey; Just go and get without delay — Woods' Peppermjnt Cure. You'll find yourself in one short night Become quite well again arcl bright; You'll shout — your he-art will feel so fight : i "Woods' Peppermint Cure." — Advt.
