WILL PROHIBIT
 FOREIGN GOODS
RUSSIA TAKES ANOTHER STEP IN THIS DIRECTION BY REINFoRC- ING CUSTOMS DuTIEs-MusT USE RUSSIAN MACHINERY.

St. Petersburg, November 2S-Another step in the policy of reinforcing the cus- toms duties by absolute prohibition of foreign-made goods has been taken out. The ministers of finance and the interior have com manded all zemetvos Qocal gov machinery and other articles to the ex- clusion of foreign. The avowed purpose is the support of industry in Russia and of the gold circulation. The newspapers of Siberia, where American goods have hitherto been sold in spite of the high duties, are particularly loud in their complaints. Similar orders have already been given to the naval, military and railroad workshops.
 New efforts in the same direction may possibly also result from the present Neurological Congress at Harkoff, which was requested by the minister of finance to explain why Russia consumes 1S4, 900, 900 tons of foreign coal 1,621, 900 of foreign iron and steel products and 3,3S3, ,000 of foreign machinery every year in spite of the high tariff.
 The year 1902 will be the first for which reports can be made regarding the com plete operation of the liquor monopoly. From 1893 onward 100 000, 900 roubles has been expended in building (400 rectifying establishments, warehouses and whole sale distributing agencies.) The m ain- tenance will cost $3,0O0,O0O roubles an- nualy. The annual salary and wage estimate is 7O.O0000O roubles, and the gross receipts 39O, 100000 roubles.

ENGLAND'S FOOD
 SUPPLY TOO SMALL
CANNOT RAISE SUFFICIENT PROD UcTS AT HOME FOR HER NEEDS. BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT PRE- SERVING OF FOOD CONTINUE.

London November 28.-The depart mental committee of the local govern ment board appointed in 1899 to investi- gate food conservatives and coloring ma terials reports that 1t is common knowl- edge that the food producing capabili- ties of this country are not sufficient for the needs of the population. A total prohibition of preserving methods is like ] to be attended with serious results the public health as large quanti- Il, of food possessing highly nutritive lc ment might he held from the poorer classes, or be liable to be consumed in a condition of incipient putrifcation.
 The committee finds that of the pre- servative agents in common use that on picions that 1t is likely to inflict injury, and the committee further says. that no direct evidence of injury from the use of conservatives has been brought be- fore it.
 The only prohibition recommended in regard to the coloring pigments in the use of copper sulphate coloring of timed peas or similar articles
 The committee recommends that the use of certain preservative agent pre- viousy referred, to in foods or drinks, be absolutely prohibited and recommends the prohibition of any preservative or coloring whatever in milk.
 Mixtures of borax and boracic acid not exceeding 05 per cent. are permitted in butter and a certain class of imita- ton butter.

 derStood CHANGES ARE NOT GREAT Deliberations of the Committee Will Last Several Weeks-New Chap

 Holy Spirit.
CHANGES ARE NOT GREAT

Washington, November 2S.--The pre- the Presbyterian church so as to make it more populnrly understood, was in- augurated here today at a meeting nf a section of the committee of twenty ap- pointed at the last Presbyterian assem- bly, to accomplish this result
 The section that met today began the preparation of a new statement of the doctrine of the church It spent sew eral hours In discussion but no action was taken on any phase of the subject. Rev. pr. Herrin Johnson of Chicago, presided, and the other members who participated were Rev. Drs. Minton of San Francisco. and Spreicher of Cleve- land, O.. and Justice Harlan of the Unit ed States Supreme Court. A form of statement to replace the one now in use was submitted and other forms will like ly be submitted.
 No vital changes were contemplated in today's discussions, but mainly diff ferent mode of expression was aimed at. It was recognized that the 250 years that have elapsed since the adoption of the present statement of doctrine has made some differences in the conceptions of the authorities. There was some dis cussion as to the interpretations of a statement regarding the personality of God. but this proposition Is still ten tative one The section will hold an- other session tomorrow and will meet daily until Wednesday when the full committee will convene with view to taking final action
 Whether the deliberations of the full committee will occupy a week or $ number of weeks is still conjectural. The other sections of the committee will meet contemporaneously with the full body and frame propositions for action by that body. One of these will draft new chapters on the Holy Spirit and on the love of God and the other will make a slight revision of the confession of faith with reference to the elect infant declarations. It Is felt that the present statement on his point implies that any infant dying in infancy is Host" form the standpoint of the religious future state and the creed to be adopted will make it clear that the Presbyterian church does not hold the belief that those who die in infancy are Host" This change will be effected probably by a specific declaratory statement. though possibly by amending the present text

that it will cure every disease under the sun. And they never think of leaving out dyspepsia and stomach troubles. They are sure to claim that their nos tIum is absolutely certain to cure every dyspeptic and he need look no further
 In the face of these absurd claims it is refreshing to note that the proprietors of Stuarts Dyspesia Tablets have care fully refrained from making undue claims or false representations regarding the merits of this most excellent reme- dy for dyspepsia and stomach troubles They make but one claim for 1t, and that is, that for indigestion and various stomach troubles Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is a radical cure. They go no farther than this and any man or wom- an suffering from indigestion, chronic or nervous dyspepsia, who will give the remedy trial will find that nothing is claimed for it, that the facts will not fully sustain.
 It is a modern discovery. composed of harmless vegetable ingredients accepta- ble to the weakest or most delicate stomach. Its great success in curing stomach troubles Is due to the fact that the medical properties are such that it will digest whatever wholesome food is taken into the stomach, no matter whether the stomach is in good working order or not It rests the overworked organs and replenishes the body, the blood. the, nerves, creating healthy ap- petite. gives refreshing sleep and the blessings which always accompany a good digestion and proper assimilation of food.
 In using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets no dieting Is required. Simply eat plenty of wholesome food and take these Tab lets at each meal. s.ius assisting and resting the stomach which rapidly re- gains it's proper digestive power, when the Tablets will be no longer required
 Nervous Dyspepsia is simply a condi- tion in which some portion or portions of the nervous system are not properly nourished. Good digestion invigorates the nervous system and every organ in the body.
 Any druggist win tell you Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give universal satis- faction. t.t.< sfSl
