JAPAN WILL PROTEST..

Russia Demands Too Much From Korea,
Government
LONDON, April 2.-The Times has
this dispatch from Seoul, capital Of
Korea:
m. Pavloff, the Russian minister
recently demanded from Korea the ces.
sion Of a coaling station to Russian
steamship company at Atkinson Point.
commanding Masanpo harbor, and to
prevent coanter claim by Japan of tn.
nelghboring area he demanded that
Korea should not ALLEVIATE in any form
any portion of Kojedo island to any
other power.
Yesterday. at an imperial audience,
Tor reasons not given but surmised, NJ.
Favloff modified his original demand,
asking instead Of Atkinson Point an.
other site within the treaty limits Of
Masanpo. This demand is unobje :.
tionable. At the same time, however.
he insisted upon the non alienation of
kojedo. His action indicates that Rus.
ma claims the reversion Of this island,
which is OF high strategical value, as
commanding the Korean strait, and it
10 bound to provoke Japan to opposi-
tion."

BUSINESS FAILURE
Is Frequently Caused by the Worry
Attendant On Dyspepsia.

If you would win in the Battle of Life
you must have a clear brain, keen
senses, perfect vigor, shrewdness, en-.
ergy and ambition.
Dyspepsia kills these ncedful quail.
ties. You can't succeed if you are con-
stantly tortured by dyspepsia or indi-
gestion. But you can get rid of dys-
pepsia, indigestion, biliousness, sour
stomach, or any other ailr:ient of stom-
ach or digestive organs by simply
taking one or two of Dodd's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal.
With perfect digestion go strong,
healthy body, a clear, capable brain,
vigor, ambition, determination. ener-
gy, activity, keen, alert senses. Dodd's
Dyspepsia Tablets ensure all these.
DOdd's Dyspepsia Tablets have new
er failed to cure any or all of the dis
cases named when they have been
fairly tried. They cannot fail.
DR.. r. B. Strong, New York City,
writing in the American Journal of
Health, describes Dodd's Dyspepsia
Tablets as a remedy which could not
possibly be more efficacious though it
emanated from a council of the leading
physicians Of the world.
