A puny child is always an anxiety to
the parents. There seems generally no
reason why the little one should be
weak when it is so well fed. But the
fact is that it does not matter how
much food the child takes if the stom-
ach cannot extract the nourishment
from It, No benefit can be derived
from just eating. That is the condi-
ton of many a sickly child The
stomach and organs of digestion and
nutrition are not doing their work and
the body is really starving. 1t is little
use to give fish foods, like cod liver oil
or emulsions, in such a case, because
these also have to be digested; they
may tighten the stomach's labor, but
they don't strengthen it. Strength is
what the stomach needs. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery strengthens
, the stomach, nourishes the nerves and
increases the action of the blood max
ing glands. 1t is superior to every
other preparation for children's use, on
account of its body building qualities
and also because it is pleasant to the
taste and contains no alcohol, whisky
or other intoxicant. DIR. Pierce's
| Pleasant Pellets are a valuable aid
when the bowels are irregular. They
are small. Children take them readily.

The weather was all that could be desired

much forage was saved during the week.
Wheat sowing has commenced in some

Russia promises TO eyacuate Manch'Iria
upon a permanent settlement If the other
Powers take nothing further by force.
America has assumed a most diplomatic
and generous position, ami think the other
Powers will agree to her proposals
Japan sent troops purely for humani-
tartan reasons. TO relieve the legations. and
she would favor withdrawal. The finln-
cih strain that will result from further
occupation Is more than the Japanese peo-
pie can bear.
I'VE have no territorial ambitions in
China or Korea, only commercial. Our re-
lations with Russia are most friendly:
there is no friction over Korea or Mnn-
churia for neither covets sovereignty. War
with China will be the greatest disaster
Of the century. for no nation could con-
ouer her singie-handed and all tho world
would be plunged in strife"
