Disagreement in Pekin.
IF MINISTERS CANNOT
AGREE, WHAT WILL
BE DONE?

Washington, Nov 22 The state
department so far has beard nothing
from Mr. Conger respecting the "im-
paese" reported to have been reach
ed by the foreign ministers yesterday
at Pekin In fact, save b.iet
expression respecting the insufficient
cy of the punishments proposed by
the Chinese government to be inaict
ed upon the responsible leaders ol
the Boxer movement. Mr. Co1ger has
not communicated with the depart
ment for more than a week.
Without taking issue with Mr. Con
ger respecting this matter of punish
ments. the state department mas ear
nestly advised b,m not TO Insist upon
Impossible conditions in the negotia
tiors
An interesting problem is suggest
ed by the possibility, which today is
almost probability, that the minis
ters representing the powers at
Pekla canoot reach an agreement
If Russia. France and the United
State should refuse 10 accept the
German idea, as seconded by the
British representative very much
would depend upon Japan, and even
some Of the lesser powers represent
ed at Pekin by ministers might have
great power in swayiDg the proceed
iogs Of the council The impression
seems to be that if a majority of the
ministers, or perhaps even one of
the representatives of great power,
wi,bholds assent to the agreement,
then the whole undertaking falls, aud
there must be either fresh negotia
tons directly between the govern
ments in the effort to agree upon a
new basis of action, or the powers
must proceed to deal with the Chi
pese situation singly, or in groups,
the latter contingency having been
provided for in the German British
agreement

70 POSTPONE OLD AGE.

The latest theory Is to apply electric
ity to the base of the brain. The hard
ening of the arteries-the first symp-
tom-is followed by a crumbling away
of the brain cells. This process pro-
duces the mental characteristics of old
age. Not alone does this treatment re
store the feelings of youth, but plo-
duces the appearance of it. While hun
dreds of experiments have been pc"
scented, there is but one way of prolons-
ing youth, and that is by the preserra-
1ion of health. For this purpose, end

A GOOD THING.

German Syrup is the special prescrip-

German Physician, and is acknowl-
edged to be one Of the most fortunate
discoveries in Medicine. 1t quickly cures
Coughs, Colds and all Lung troubles of
the severest nature, removing, al 1t
does, the cause Of the affection and
leaving the parts in a strong and
healthy condition. It is not an expert
mental medicine, but has stood the test
of years, giving satisfaction in every
case, which it's rapidly increasing sale
every season confirms. Two million bot
ties sold annually. Boschee's German
Syrup was introduced In the United
States in 1868, and is, now sold in every
town and villagetin the civilized world.
Three doses will relieve any ordinary
cough. Price IS cts. Get Green's Prize

Men do not like to go to doctors. Min.
times out of ten they wait until they are
laid fiat on their backs before they will
consult a physician. There is some reason
III this, for when a business man feels out
of sorts and goes to a physician, he is often
given violent drugs that make him, for a
time, unfit for business and really sick.
There is a way of avoiding both extremes
that of neglecting the health and that of
taking violent drugs that rack the entire
system-it is always to keep on hand a
bottle of Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. If a man will resort to this great
medicine whenever he feels that he is out
of sorts and threatened with illness, he
may keep in good health. 1t is the great
appetite sharpener, blood maker and flesh
builder. 1t fills the arteries with the rich,
red, tissue%-building blood of health. It
