Washington. August 2,--The special cab

half hours. There were present, besides
the president. Secretaries Hay. Root and
Gage and Postmaster General Smith. The
discussion was confined almost exclusively
TO the Chinese situation. All the details
of the situation since the president went
to Canton two weeks ago We're carefully
gone over and a general exchange Of
views was had. The definite Information
of the safety of the legations at Pekln
and the hope for their final rescue VIII

ton. The administration desires an Inn

inaugurated without too much danger, and

Morrison, the London Times correspondent
in Pekin, that imperial edicts were issued
encouraging the Boxer movement in the
e wier stages of the trouble. To do so
would be almost tantamount to admit ting
that the Chinese government had made
war upon the powers. Anything which
tends to implicate the Chinese govern
ment in the siege and the massacre OF
foreigners would make the repsratlon and
indemnity harder and heavier But al
these are matters for the future. The
object of the administration now is ia

AKRON
To Have Cold Distilled
Brandy Process.
The Latest, the Most Scientific and
ihe Best.

Brandy prepared by the cold pro-
cess. The machinery used for this
dstillation produces a lower atmos'
pheric pressure than Is possible to
produce with any other No
other method equals it in power
and the liquid TO be distilled is acted
upon by atmosphere, mechanically, not
chemically. BY this process only the
alcohol and the fruit flavors are car
ried into the liquor leaving behind or
eliminating fusel oil, yeast, aldehydes,
and ethcrs. Under the old methods
of distillation-namely, by the heat
process-these poisonous products are
carried over and by chemical analysis
are Invariably found to exist in larger
or smaller quantities, even in the pur-
est and highest priced brandies. 1t
must be patent that Cold Distilled
Rrandies. containing neither fusel oil,
yeast, aldehydes or etlers, must be
vastly superior for medicinal use to
any brand;es ever before offered to the
public. These brandles are not only
superior chemically but they possess
II finer flavor and carry a more pleas
ing boquet than any brandes distilled
by the heat process. They are scarce
ly Intoxicating in any quantity but pro-
ducc Il pleasant cxhilaratlon with no
reaction or unpleasant after effects.
In ease of weak stomaclls they arc
retained and assimilntcd when every
| thing else is rejected. A peculiar fea-
tmc about n cold distilled brandy Is
that 1t quickly destroys the appetite
for strong drink and by daily use will
actually cure incbriety. This fact
would seem to uphold the theory that
the well known evils of continued
drinking are brought about not so
much by the alcohol as by the other
poisonous chemical substances which
are taken with It in drinking liquors
manufactured by the heat process.
Cold distilled brandy Is Il specific for
insomnia producing quiet refreshing
sleep without any bad feeling the
morning following. II is also II diuret-
ic, acting as a mild stimulaut to the
Kidneys, In case of cirrhosis of the
the liver, brought about by the long
continued use Of alcoholics, Cold Dis
TILED Brandy can be used to nourish
and sustain the strength of the patient
without any fear Of its causing further
injuries TO the diseased liver cells.
