poor for I did not eat enough to keep a small child I could not rest nights Then I sent for a box of Dodds Kidney Pills and went to taking them and what do you think that very night I went to bed and I slept till morning I got up and thanked God for the nights rest and Dodds Kid ney Pills I know that Dodds Kid ney Pills are all that is claimed for them This is only one of the numerous experiences

Some People A great many people go on suffer ing from annoying ailments for a long time before they can get their own consent to give up the indulgence from which their trouble arises A gentleman in Brooklyn describes his experience as follows I became satisfied some months ago that I owed the palpitation of the heart from which I suffered almost daily to the use of coffee I had been a coffee drinker for 30 years but I found it very hard to give up the bev erage I realized that I must give up the harmful indulgence in coffee but I felt the necessity for a hot table drink and as tea is not to my liking I was at a loss for awhile what to do One day I ran across a very sen sible and straightforward presenta tion of the claims of Postum Food Coffee and was so impressed thereby that I concluded to give it a trial My experience with it was unsatisfactory till I learned how it ought to be pre pared by thorough boiling for not less than 15 or 20 minutes After I learned that lesson there was no trouble Postum Food Coffee proved to be a most palatable and satisfac tory hot beverage and I have used it ever since The effect on my health has been most salutary It has completely cured the heart palpitation from which I used to suffer so much particularly after breakfast and I never have a re turn of it except when I dine or lunch away from home and am compelled to drink the old kind of coffee because Postum is not served I find that Pos tum Food Coffee cheers and invigor ates while it produces no harmful stimulation Name given by Postum Co Battle Creek Mich Theres a

tq Be in Touch With Ruslans at Several Points Torpedo Boats Destroy Fishing and Sailing Vessels TOKIO According to advices from Manchuria Field Marshal Oyamas extreme right and extreme left have been materially advanced A Fenghushieng dispatch of May 6th says Field Marshal Oyama seems ready to assume the offensive on a large scale and activity already ha3 begun against General Linevitchs left This may be the prelude to a general battle The Japanese have concentrated heavy columns on the Liao river and their advance divisions have been in contact with Russians who are holding the main road from Fakoman to Bashienchen On Thursday the Japanese cavalry suddenly attacked the Cossacks in overwhelming force forcing the latter to retire Then supported by infantry the Japanese advanced and drove the Russian infantry out of the village of Palitoun A Russian reconnnitering party twenty miles further west ran into an ambush and all the party except five were killed Four Rusian torpedo boat destroyers from Vladivostok appeared westward of Hokkaido off Sub yesterday They seized and burned a small sailing ves sel and imprisoned the captain and disappeared to the northwest They were evidently returning to Vladivos tok There is a possibility that they have destroyed other small craft al though no reports to that effect have been received The object of their visit is not clear It is thought that probably they hoped to torpedo the Japanese patrol at night and it is also suggested that the Vladivostok vessels plan a diver sion to assist the fleet of Admiral jestvensky Noon Although none has been sighted it is believed the larger ves sels of the Vladivostok squadron ac companied the torpedo boats which ap peared west of Hokkaido yesterday It is doubtd that the torpedo boats would venture across unescorted in the heavy pea which was running when they luirned the sailing vessel All of the crpw of this vessel ex cept the rapiain who was captured succeeded in landing but a steamer dispatched to the rescue of the burn ing derelict was forced to return on account of the storm The Russians poured kerosene on the deck of the sailing vessel and withdrew after hav ing burned the surface of the oil The toipedo boats have not been reported today JAPS SET JUNCTION DATE Say Two Russian Squadrons Will Join May 9 TOKIO Assuming that Vice Ad miral Rojestvensky meditates a speedy junction of his squadron with Vice Admiral Nebogatoffs it is be lieved here that the meeting of the ships may be expected by Tuesday May 9 the speed of Nebogatoffs divi sion being only about seven knots an hour These ships are believed to be In need of coal and stores and their deficiencies in this respect probably will be supplied by Vice Admiral Rojestvensky at some friendly port after the two admirals effect a juncture The future movements of the Rus sian Pacific squadron is a matter of speculation here although the delay of Rojestvensky on the Indo China coast has raised doubt as to his pur pose to move northward and risk an engagement at an early date The Vladivostok torpedo boat de stroyers have not been reported and it is believed they have returned to Vladivostok GERMANY

people finally has been removed from office His pecula tions according to the report aggre gated more than 100000 Under date of March 10 Minister Allen writes Americans in Penyang have com plained of the conduct of the magis trate Paing Han Chun because of his oppression of the people and because of his interference with American treaty rights When war broke out it was supposed that this man would be turned down by the Japanese but he was clever enough to make himself useful in securing lands and other military requirements for which he received payment but failed to hand over the money to the natives I was obliged to complain of him because of his conduct toward the Americans and in September 1904 spoke to the Japanese minister of my difficulties and intentions RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENT America and England Accept Each Others Inspection WASHINGTON Formal notice from the British embassy has reached the department of commence and labor that both the government of Great Britain and tne Dominion of Canada have issued orders to accept Ameri can certificates of inspection of the hulls boilers machinery and life-saving apparatus of steamships In ac cordance with an agreement already reached the American government will issue a similar order to all officers at American ports with respect to the certificates of inspection carried by the British and Canadian steam ves sels This reciprocal arrangement will facilitate materially the clearance of vessels at all ports of the three coun tries and will relieve from much em barrassment and expense the owners of American British and Canadian steamships as the only survey re quired will be one to determine sim ply whether the vessel is equipped in j accordance with the statement in her certificate AFTER AMERICAN TOBACCO CO Federal Grand Jury at New York Looking Into Matters NEW YORK It became known Friday that the federal grand jury for some time past has been conducting a secret investigation into certain mat ters concerning the American Tobac co company and its subsidiary com panies The investigation is being made by Henry W Taft brother of the secretary of war who has been appointed a special assistant United States attorney for that particular pur pose Mr Taft is authority for the statement that the investigation is be ing made under the anti trust law The proceedings in tho grand jury room were secret but it became known that E F Hale an officer of one of the subsidiary companies re fused to answer questions when he was called taking the ground that to do so would tend to incriminate and degrade him and that the answers would be too voluminous When the grand jury filed a presentment in the circuit court Hale was directed to re ply to the questions It was through Hales refusal to answer questions that the investigation became public Gets Five Years SACRAMENTO Cal Former State Senator Harry Bunkers of San -Francisco convicted of accepting a bribe was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary at

the Jap anese took up a position in the Straits of Sundy through which Nebogatoff originally intended to make the pas sage into the northern sea There is rso reason to believe that Nebogatoff first approached the Straits of Sundy but finding them too well guarded put about and headed north for the Straits of Malacca his division lacking tho protection of fast cruisers and being at a great disadvantage in meeting torpedo boat attacks The admiralty expresses much grati fication at the fact that Admiral Ne bogatoff has successfully reached the China sea but appreciates that the composition of his division renders it particularly vulnerable to a swift ad versary especially as the crews of his ships have not had tho training in maneuvering or the target practice which Admiral Rojestvenskys crews had while off the island of Madagas car and the anxiety here will be com pletely relieved when it is known that a junction has been effected The Russ today announces that Cap tain
