Aristotle for Cuts and Bruises.

For wounds of all kinds, aristotle is
one of the best remedies now in use.
1T is very speedy in its results, closing
the blood vessels and thus preventing
Inflammation. It is sold in the form
of a powder, and can be purchased in
small quantities. A very little applied
to the wound is all that is necessary.
Aristotle being somewhat expensive,
listerine, costing much less, is often
used with good results. But the lat
ter is, an antiseptic only. and if the
cut is. a severe n aristotle should, be
applied Immediately. No salve or emol-

the wound will heal very rapidly.-La-

INDoRsE THE COURT OF PENSION
APPEALS

The National Encampment at Chicago
should by all means give the bill for th'
establishment of a Court Of Pension Ap
peals a unanimous and uneQuiyocal In
dorsement, and ask that it be passed 4:
soon as possible after the meeting of Con
gress next December.
The establishment of such a Court will
| at once remove pensions from politics,
and put pensioners and claimants in the
same category with the other creditors OF
the Government. 1t will stop all cayil-
ing for and against pension allowances.
or excuse for the old clamor that the
pension roll is honeycombed with fraud.
We do not talk that way about the deci-
siOns of our regularly-constituted courts.
When a pension allowance ceases being
matter resting upon the whim, preju-
dice, prepossessions or individual judg-
and is founded upon the rock-liSe basis
of n regular judicial decision the people
will at once accept it unquestioningly, as
they do other judicialiy- undetermined facts.
What the number of these claims may
be in the aggregate will not concern them,
any more than does the amount of a judg-
preme Court of the United States. 1t
will be sufficient TO know that the claim
ants are legally entitled to the awards,
and then they will be as willingly paid as
were the billions of interest and princi-
pal which have been paid the bondholder.
Heretofore, when Commissioners like
Dudley, Tanner, Black, Raum, have in
terpreted the laws properly, the soldier
hatiug papers have overflowed with ven
omous TRADES against the class of men
who were put on the roll. When we have
had such other Commissioners as Loeb
ren and Evans there has been world
of bitter complaint that they were per-
verting and multiplying the law. The vet
Grams have suffered severely in reputa-
ton both by the assaults of the soldier
hating papers and by the attempts of such
men as Commissioner Lochren and Evans
to justify their course.
All this can be remedicd and prevented
by having judicial tribunal pass upon
pension cases, interpret the law, and lay
down rules of evidence and of practice
such as obtain in the other courts OF the
country. The pension roll will become
really a roll of honor. whose integrity no
man viii presume to question.
The matter is now in the National En-
campment's hands. 1t can secure the i'm
mediate passage Of the bill by giving it
a full Endorsement, and requesting in the
name Of the veterans that it be made

ON TO PE-KIS,

The past week has been full Of events
in China Of the utmost importance to the
world and humanity.
The victory Of the Allies over tho Chi
nese hordes at Peit-Sang was promptly
| followed by an advance in force upon the
controlled the railroad crossing of the Pei
Ho River, and so commanded the road to
Picking. This was at once attacked and
carried, after fight lasting several hours.
in which the small American force took
the leading part and displayed great gal
lantry and fine soldiership. The victory
reaching. 1t not only gained 1S Of the 70
miles to Picking, but it made the line
Of communications secure for the fur
ther advance. Infinitely more, it was an
other crushing demonstration to the Chi
nese hordes that they cannot stand even
before a small civilized force, even though
they may have enormous advantages of
position. The first news after the battle
seemed to indicate that the Allies would
stop there, and gather their forces for a
final move directly on Pe-King. But the
reports from Gen. Chaffee received as
we go to press indicate that he at least
has driven ahead, and was at that time
within 1S or 20 miles of the Northern
Capital" The more hopeful of us assume
this to mean that he has found the Chi
nese utterly demoralized by their defeat
at Yang-Tsun, and has taken advantage
Of it, In the regular American way, by
pressing hard after them, and increasing
their decentralization by swift, sharp blows
at their rear. II this should be happily
so, it puts the Americans in command of
the situation and enormously increases
our prestige. 1t may be that Chaffee may
go directly into Picking, rescue the Min
| isters and dictate terms. 1t is unfortu-
nate that he has not 10 times as many
men with him. Then there would be no
| doubt as to the result.
In the meanwhile our State Department
| has been giving the Chinese Government
full doses of our resolute, straightforward
| American diplomacy. The Chinese have
resorted TO every trick and device to gain
time, ard stop operations. They have
empowered Ii Hung Chang to negotiate
for peace, and have offered to escort the
Ministers and their families to Tien Tsin.
But our Minister has refused to leave his
post until ordered to do SO by our Gov
ernment, and our State Department has
firmly refused to consider any peace prop
ositions until the Chinese Government re-
stores order and free communication with
the Ministers. 1t has been suggested that
the Allied armies be allowed to come with
out farther resistance to the walls of Pc
King, and receive the Ministers there.
This Is the utmost concession. Otherwise
the troops will force their way to Pc
King. and the consequences will be on the
head Of the Chinese Government. This
is the first time the Chinese have had such
straight-out talk made to them, with the
blow SO ready to follow the word.
The next few days will be full of
events, and the outlook IL very hopeful
that all these will be such as Christendom
will rejoice In.
