 "I cannot tell when nor how the strike will end whether in a day, month or year, but that depends on yourselves. You cannot hope to win without making sacrifices. I have been in many strikes and seen starvation and eviction. Strikes are serious things. not pleasure. and men must strike bravely.

JAPAN AND RUSSIA
TakaShira Believes War
 Will Be Avoided
Makes Public His Reply to Hrs. Anita
 Niece, Who Offered the Services of Herself and Others as Army Nurses.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Speaking of the report emanating from Paris that Japan and Russia are on the verge Of a settlement, Mr. Takashira, the Jap anese minister, said thpat he believed this gratifying news to be true, al though he has not been officially ad -xised fof-seNeral days Of the progress of the negotiations. As one of the in- teresting proceedings occurring at var ious stages and as his personal views which he felt certain expressed the con census of public opinion in Japan, MT. Tak2shira cites the reply he made to the recent offer from Mrs. Anita New comb McGee, of Ine services of herself and others associated with her as army nurses in the unfortunate contingency of war. Mrs. McGee was from 1898 to 1901 in charge of the United States army nurse corps. MT. Takashira said he thought that among the evidences of American good will so abundantly shown to his country, none would awaken deeper gratitude or more sin cere admira ton in Japan than the nc- ble offer of Mrs. McGee.
 In reply to Mrs. McGee, Minister Takashira said: While undoubtedly my government will highly appreciate the generous motives which animate you and the worthy ladies associated with you in making this offer, I doubt whether occasion will arise for it's ac- ceptance. It has been invariably the aim and policy of Japan to maintain relations of friendship with foreign countries. and although there have been numerous rumors recently of a disturbed condition of affairs in the far east, I sincerely believe that the efforts of my government and others who have the same feeling at heart, to use every proper and honorable means to preserve peace, will be crowned with success.

ABOUT FEAR. Often Comes From Lack of Riqht
 Food.

Napoleon said that his best fed sold iers were his best soldiers for fear and nervousness come quickly when the stomach is not well nourished. Nervous fear is a sign that the body is not well supplied with the right food.
 A Connecticut lady says. For many years had been sufferer from indiges ton and heart trouble and in almost constant fear of sudden death. the most acute suffering possible. Dieting brought on weakness, cancellation and nervous exhaustion and I was a com plete wreck physically and almost a wreck mentally.
 'I tried many foods but could not avoid the terrible nausea followed by vomiting that came after eating until I tried Grape-Nuts. This food agreed with my palate and stomach from the start. This was about a year ago. Steadily and surely a change from sickness to health came until now l have no symptoms of dyspepsia and can walk 10 miles day without being greatly fatigued. I have not taken a drop of medicine since l began the use of Grape-Nuts and people say I look many years younger than l really am.
 My poor old sick body has been made over and I feel as though my head has been too. Life is worth Hvig now and I expect to enjoy it for many years to come if I can keep away from bad foods and have Ora ape- Nuts" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

Notable Lawyer Charged
 With Forgery
PETER BLOW ESTATE
Said to Have Been Robbed of $63,- 900 by the Accused Han Who Was Formerly General Counsel Louisi. ana Purchase Exposition.

St Louis, Mo, Dec. 3.--JameS l.. Blair, formerly general counsel of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, was this afternoon indicted by the grand jury on a charge of forgery in the first degree. Blair has been i'll for several weeks at a local hospital and for time his life was despaired of
 The indictment is the result of charges filed by James T. Roberts, an attorney, at one time employed in Blair's law office. Roberts secured certain papers and records on which he afterwards based his charges that Blair was juggling the finances of large estates committed to his trust. Roberts publicly charged among other things that Blair had forged deeds of trust and mortgages in which $63, ,000 was obtained from the estate of the late Peter Blow of St. Louis, and that he counterfeited and used the notarial seals of the recorder of deeds of St Louis and frequently employed Wal ter F. Jenkins" purely fictitious per sonage to attest the documents.
 Blair characterized Roberts accusa . tions as a tissue of falsehood, woven around a few grains of fact" Blair acted as a sort of fiscal and investment agent for the firm of Dick brothers of Philadelphia and New York. Evans R. Dick, the head of the firm, was q co trustee with Edward $. Robert in the Blow estate.
 The grand jury requested the Dicks and their attorney to come to St Louis to tesify, but they ignored the sum- mons. A bench warrant will be given for Blair's arrest. He is reported to have almost fully recovered his health. At one time it was reported that he was on the verge of insanity
 Following the Blair exposure Mrs Blair. who was chairman of the boar'i of lady managers of the fair. resigned her position and since then the Blairs have sold their costly home and she has disposed of her jewels and her fine stable of horses.
