Meet for Conference.
LONDON, March 3-2:27 F. M.-Presi-
dent Kruger is said to have left Preto-
ria with the intention of meeting Presi-
dent Steyn.
The place, where they will meet is
not mentioned. but is believed to be
somewhere in the Orange FIee State.
Those in South Africa who are con-
versant with the effect the recent re-
verses have had on the Beers express
the opinion that the meeting OF the two
presidents is preliminary to suggestion
of negotiations for peace.
But if this is the case, it must be due
to the pressure brought to bear upon the
presidents by the burghers and Afri-
kanders in the British colonies rather
than in the personal inclinationS OF the
presidents as all available information
depicts them as being as determined as
ever to persist in the war until the re-
sources of the republics are much more
enfeebled than they seem to Do at pres
ent, although some significance Is III

evident that a strict censorship is being
exercised over the news at the Seat Of
War, as the night has not added any
thing to the scanty dispatches received
during the day, most of which referred
to matters preceding the recent stirring:
events.
The war Office intimated at midnight
that there was no prospect of news I'M
til something definite shall have been
done.
This is quite in keeping with the COM
piete silence which Lord Roberts mas
observed while his plans were in pro-
cess Of accomplishment, and until he is
in actual grip with the Beers it is prob
able that the public will hear little or
nothing of his doings.

But 1t Has Proven Of Interest and
Value to Thousands.
Common sense would suggest that if one
wishes to become feshy and plump it can
only result from the food we eat and di-
gest and that food should be albuminous
or flesh forming food, like eggs, beefsteak
and cereals; in other words, the kinds Of
food that make flesh are the foods which
form the greater part+of our daily bills
of fare.
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much. the
stomach, from abuse and overwork, does
not properly digest and asSimilate it,
which is the reason so many people re-
gastive organs do not completely digest
gestive organs do NOT completely digest
the flesh forming beefsteak and eggs and
similar wholesome food.
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, although
they may have no particular pain or In.
