RESTORED TO HEALTH
THANKS TO
Friends Were Alarmed
Advised Change of Climate
Miss Mildred Keller 713 13tli street
N W Washington D C writes
I can safely recommend Peruna for
catarrh I had it for years and it would
respond to no kind of treatment or if it
did it was only temporary and on the
slightest provocation the trouble would
come back
was in such a state that my
friends were alarmed about me and I
was advised to leave this climate
Then I tried Peruna and to my great
joy found it helped me from the first
dose I took and a few bottles cured me
It built up my constitution I re
gained my appetite and I feel that I
am perfectly well and strong

BATTLE
RUSSIANS THINK LAND AND SEA
FIGHTS IMMINENT
MAHCHUB1AH DISPATCHES STOP
Silence Taken to Indicate that General
Linevitch Is Advancing Events Ap
parently Rapidly Shaping for a
Great Battle
ST PETERSBURG With a sus
picious stoppage of dispatches from
Manchuria and a strong possibility
that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky has
cut his last communications with
home and set forth on the final stage
of his iourney to his goal either Togo
or Vladivostok keen interest is mani
fested in naval and military circles
here in the twofold field of war
Though the Admirality which has
been completely silent since the ad
vent of Rojestvensky in the Chinese
sea publishes no dispatches the con
viction is sxowins that the united
squadrons as indicated by the Asso
ciated Press on May 15 departed from
the Annam coast immediately after
their juncture and naval officers are
anxiously expecting news of the first
skirmishes between scouts of the hos
tile fleets
The Associated Press correspond
ent on his visit to naval officers yes
terday to investigate the rumor that
Vice Admiral Rojestvenskys health
had broken down was repeatedly and
eagerly questioned for the latest in
formation through the press dispatches
which it was declared is a better
source than the Admiralty
Captain Clado confirmed the state
ment of the Associated Press that the
vessels of both squadrons are equip
ped with apparatus for cleaning their
bottoms at sea He said it was en
tirely possible for Vice Admiral Nebo
gatoff to put the last finishing touches
to the vessels of his division during
the mysterious interval when they
were lost to sight before passing the
Straits of Malacca
Neither the Admiralty nor individ
ual officers have any information re
garding the rumored request of Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky to be relieved
and all who were questioned regard
ing the report express doubts of its ac
curacy It was pointed out that it
would be entirely possible for the
fleet to delay in the China sea until
the arrival of Vice Admiral Birile ff
and it was declared that Rojestven
sky will keep his flag flying as long
as he is not utterly incapacitated for
command which would then devolve
on Vice Admiral Voelkersam who is
known as an officer with a Teutonic
thoroughness and attention to the de
tails of his profession He is also a
noble strategist and theoretician
The Associated Press was informed
that Vice Admiral Birileff will be sent
to Vladivostok which possibly ac
counts for the origin of the rumor of
Rojestvenskys request to be relieved
of his command
On the military side the indications
are that events are rapidly shaping
for the preliminary stage of another
great battle The Russian army has
been refitted and is ready for action
and it is asserted that General Line
vitch isnt the man to waste days in
inaction
ROJESTVENSKY GOING NORTH
Russian Fleet is Said to Be Taking
on Coal
LONDON Now that it seems defi
nitely established that Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky has started on his north
ward journey there is a great deal
of interest in the eastern campaign
Kwangchau bay where provision
junks are said to be waiting for the
Russian fleet is the most northward
of French uossessions on the Chinese
sea and the last port which Rojest
vensky can select for his final depart
ure to meet the Japanese It has a
fine anchorage and a sheltered chan
nel where a large fleet may ride n
safety
Reports still circulate in London to
the effect that the Russian Pacifics
fleet coaling arrangements are ex
tremely inadequate and have been
the main cause of its prolonged
stay in Indo Chinese waters and that
the admiral is finding ever increased
difficulty on this score
EIGHT YEARS FOR OHLIGER

Fleet Not in French Waters
PARIS In regard to the press dis
patches saying the Russian fleet has i
returned to Hon Kone Day the French
officials say the Russians are not
within French The officials
are not aware of the exact locality
of the fleet but communications with
the French naval and civil authorities
in Indo China satisfy the officials here
that the Russians remain outside
French limits It is maintained that
the fact that ne ileet is off Hon Kohe
bay does not constitute a breach of
reutrality

How He Lives as Compared With

u
he farming life of
to day as con
trasted with that
of fifty years ago
is a paradise of
comfort and con
venience The
lonely loghouse
remote from mar
ket and devoid of
advantages that a
half cycle of time
has made possible
would scarcely ap
peal to the pres
ent day farmer
The twentieth-
century soil tiller has practically aU
the modern comforts His mail is de
livered daily He has telephonic con
nection with the buying and selling
world affording the best opportunities
for marketing to advantage His
home is of recent architecture con
structed of wood brick or stone and
well furnished He has modern plumb
ing and modern heating and with the
advent of acetylene gas he has mod
ern lighting At night his home is as
attractively illuminated as that of his
city brother for it is a suggestive fact
that acetylene for country homes
has so appealed to the farmer that of
the 80000 users of acetylene gas in
the United States the farmer is one
of the largest of all classes Ever
seeking the best he has not hesitated
in availing himself of this new light
The continued growth and progress
of this great country ever a cause of
wonderment has no greater -exemplification
than evolution on the farm
Already the farmer is becoming tbe
most envied of men the freest the
healthiest the happiest

GREAT CHANGE
From Change in Food
The brain depends much more on
the stomach than we are apt to sup
pose until we take thought in the mat
ter Feed the stomach on proper food
easy to digest and containing the
proper amount of phosphates and the
healthy brain will respond to all de
mands A notable housewife in Buf
falo writes
The doctor diagnosed my trouble
as a nervous affection of the stom
ach I was actually so nervous that
I could not sit still for five minutes
to read the newspaper and to attend
to my household duties was simply
impossible I doctored all the time
with remedies but medicine did no
good
My physician put me on all sorts
of diet and I tried many kinds of
cereal foods but none of them agreed
with me I was almost discouraged
and when I tried Grape Nuts I did so
with many misgivings I had no faith
that it would succeed where every
thing else had failed
But it did succeed and you dont
know how glad I am that I tried it
I feel like a new person I have gain
ed in weight and I dont have that
terrible burning sensation in my stom
ach any more I feel so strong
acain that I am surprised at myself
The street noises that used to irritate
me so I never notice now and my
mind is so clear that my household
duties are a real pleasure
Name given by Postum Co Battle
Creek Mich
Theres a reason
Now why was this great change
made in this woman
The stomach and the brain had not
been supplied with the right kind of
food to rebuild and strengthen the
nerve centers in these organs It is
absolute folly to try to do this with
medicine There is but one sure way
and that is to quit the old food that
has failed and take on Grape Nuts
food which is more than half digested
in the process of manufacture and is
rich in the phosphate of potash con
tained in the natural grain which
unites with albumen and water the
only three substances that will make
up the soft gray filling in the thou
sands of delicate nerve centres in the
brain and body Grape Nuts food is a
sure road back to health in all such
cases
RU35IAj3 GO NORTH
Combined Squadrons Sighted off the
Coast of Annam Tuesday
SINGAPORE The Russian fleet
was in latitude 1330 north and longi
tude 11130 east about 120 miles
northeast of Cape Varelia coast of An
nam during the morning of May 16
according to a report brought here by
the British steamer Hong Wang The
German steamer Segovia sighted
forty two Russian ships forty miles
from Cape Varelia May 15 steaming
slowly north
The latitude and longitude in which
the Russian fleet was reported by tho
British steamer Hong Wang does not
indicate that a naval battle is immi
nent The Russians were on May 1G
only about 150 milos from the coast
of Annam and apparently heading
north for the waters of tho island of
Hainan near which according to a
Hong Kong dispatch 150 junks aden
with provisions were waiting for the
Russian fleet Even in case Admiral
Rojestvensky decides not to take
these supplies on hoard or if the Hong
ong report is correct the Russian fleel
May 16 yas still about 700 miles from
the southern iart of the island of For
mosa where it has been asserted Ad
miral Togo may give battle and it is
doubtful if the fleet can now make
more than about 200 miles a day un
der the most favorable circumstances

FEAR GENERAL T1EUP
Present Indications Are for a Big La
bor Upheaval in Chicago
CHICAGO Sunday brought no
change in the attitude of both sides
of the labor controversy now in pro
gress in Chicago and everything
points toward an extension of the
teamsters strike to many other busi
ness houses during tlie week The
officials of the seven express compa
nies whose refusal to reinstate any
of their striking employes caused the
collapse of the settlement of the
trouble Saturday night still adhere
to their determination not to give em
ployment to any of their former em
ployes and the other firms involved
in the difficulty declared that they
would stand by the express compary
in the fight The teamsteis union
has taken just as firm a stand as the
employers and it was stated by Pres
ident Shea that the union would nev
er call off the strike until the ex
press companies came to terms
The first spread of the strike is ex
pected to come Monday morning
when the Lumbermens association
an organization employing 2400 team
sters issues an order to their men
to make deliveries to all business
houses regardless of whether they
are involved in the strike or noL

WHAT HIS EXPERIENCE PROVED
In tho early sixties it was usually tho
duty of a practicing physician to ride
many miles every day on his regular
round of visits upon his patients In
those days a young man who had received
a splendid medical training in one of tho
best medical colleges of that day was ac
customed to ride ten twenty or thirty
miles or more visiting tho sick and
afflicted His success was soon phenom
enal Doctors and families called him for
consultation to towns at considerable dis
tances by rail One of his specialties was
the cure of those distressing diseases of
women Ho had curly discovered that
by combining the vegetable extract of
tho following medicinal plants in just tho
right proportion without the use of alco
hol his prescription invariably cured
such cases Later in order to place this
remedy before the public in a shape easily
to be procured he established a labora
tory at Buffalo N Y where regularly
qualified chemists were put in charge to
accurately prepare his prescription and
put it in shape for shipment to all parts
of the United States This remedy which
he named Dr Pierces Favorite Prescrip
