POSITION OF CASTRO
HIS REFERENCE TO ROOSEVELT
 MERELY A COMPLIMENT. '--
Surprise Expressed That It Should Have Given Concern to the Cove. ernments of the European 70
 Powers,

Caracas. Jan. GA high official of the Venezuelan Government said to the cor respondent of the Associated Press to- day:
 .'I am greatly surprised at the press cablegram saying that importance has been given to the last of the several prop ositions contained in President Castro's answer to the powers in the matter of referring the Venezuelan difficulty to the arbitration of The Hague tribunal. This proposition was intended simply as a compliment to President Roosevelt as Chief Executive of the greatest of Amer ican Republics, and its suggestion that the question be left to the arbitration of an American Republic was only a com plimentary alternative
 President Castro is elated today over the capture Sy his troops of all the am- munition destined for the Mates revolu- tionists, which, tt is alleged in certain quarters here, the allied powers permit ted to reach Venezuelan coast at Coro. It has been learned here that the allies have declared that the blockade of Coro will begin tomorrow, January 2.
 As a result of the Governments victory over the revolutionists at Guatire last Sunday, General Fernandez, one of the revolutionary leaders, has offered to treat with President Castro.

ONLY A SUGGESTION.
But It Has Proven of Interest and
 Value to Thousands.

Common sense would suggest that fl one wishes to become fleshy and plump it can only. result from the food we eat and digest and that food should be albumin ous or flesh forming food, like eggss beefsteak and cereals; in other words the kinds of food that make flesh are the foods which form the greater part of our daily bills of fare.
 But the trouble is that while we eat enough and generally too much, the stom- ach, from abuse and overwork, does no. properly digest and assimilate it, which is the reason so many people remain thin and under weight; the digestive organs do not completely digest the flesh form ing beef-steak and eggs and similar wholesome food.
 There are thousands of such who are really confirmed dyspeptics although they may have no particular pain or inconven- fence from their stomachs.
 If such persons would lay their preju- dices aside and make a regular practice of taking, after each meal, one or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, the fooL would be quickly and thoroughly digest ed because these tablets contain the na- tural peptones and diastase which every weak stomach lacks, and by supplying this want the stomach is soon enabled to regain it's natural tone and vigor.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every form of fesh-forming food, meat, eggs, bread and potatoes. and this is the reason they so quickly build up. strengthen and invigorate thin, dyspeptic men, women and children
 Invalids and chLdren. even the most delicate, use them with marked benefl as they contain no strong irritating drugs no cathartic nor any harmful in- gredient.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most successful and most widely known of any remedy for stomach troubles because 1t is the most reasonable and scientific of mod ern medicines.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by every druggist in the United States and Canada as we'll as in Great Britain, at 50 cents for complete treatment.
 Nothing further is required to cure any stomach trouble or to make thin, nervous, dyspertic people, strong, plump and well.

 THE PLACE FOR THE Choicest the Markets Afford

thick and carelessly exposed to a blazing fire the outside is blackened and made into charcoal before the heat can reach the inside. The moisture Is only heated. not evaporated, and makes the inside doughy or clammy. and butter, when spread upon the bread. cannot penetrate. but floats on the surface in the form of oil, and the result is one of the most in~ digesttble compounds. The correct way Is to have the bread stale and cut into thin uniform slices and dry 1t thoroughly before browning 1t. Such toast moistened with water or milk may be easily and thoroughly acted upon by digestive fluids.

Four Persons Lose Life and as Many
 Others Injured.
 Chicago, Jan. 6.-Four persons lost their lives and as many persons were in- jured in fire at the Hotel Sumerset an eight-story brick structure at Wabash Avenue and 12th Street early today. Three of the victims, Mrs. E. T. Perry, aged 35 and her two daughters, eight and nine. years old, respectively, were burned or suffocated to death in their room on the fourth floor. The fourth victim, Ethel Saunders of 25S5 Indiana Avenue jumped from the window of room on the same floor to the street. died on her way to the hospital.
 The injured are:
 T. W. Parker. internally.
 Emile Sanches, cut by broken glass.
 c. 8. Wrightman. badly cut about the face and hands.
 William Pears, elevator boy, affected by smoke and cut by flying glass. i Mir. Parker jumped from the window of a room on the fourth floor to the roof of a two-story building adjoining the hotel. He sustained broken ankle and severe bruises A short time after 1t was dis Icovered that lives had been Iost William Clemons, a porter, was arrested. The police explained that from what could be learned from panic-stricken guests the fire originated mysteriously. Clemons was awake. it is said. at the time and the police will hold him until the fire has been investigated. There were about 10C guests in the hotel at the time. From admissions made by Ciemons, 1t is be- lieved he caused the fire by accidentally igniting his bed clothes while smoking a cigarette. It Is thought Mrs. Perry first became aware of the fire and aroused her daughters. Later, however, they appear to have been quickly overcome, both having been found on their beds. while the body of Mrs. Perry lay on the floor near the window.
 The elevator conductor ran his car to the top floor shooting warning and car rying many of the guests from the build inr The financial loss was not large.

 Passage of the Dardanelles.
 London. Jan. e.-Great Britain's protest in the matter of the passage through the Dardanelles of four unarnnad RussIan torpedo boat deStroyers creates consid. erable interest and it Is expected as nos unlikely to lead to the virtual abroRation of that clause of the treaty of Paris which closes the Dardanelles. It Is sup. posed that the interval since last septets. Der when Turkey granted the permisgioa of the destroyers to pass the straits has been employed for exchange of conmuni. cations on the subject among the powers.
 The London daily papers are greatly concerned at Germany's refusal to asso. ciate itself with Great Britain although she is a signatory of the treaty. What the result of the pour parlours has been and whether or not any other powers will protest to the Porte in the matter is not yet known here.

Latest Wrinkle in Cats.

ENCndHkt.
 The very latest wrinkle in the cat world is the breeding of short haired cats, just the common or garden variety of cats. It is marvellous what a few short generations of care and breeding will do for poor pussy, who takes her outing on the alley wall, or moAns about the door of some deserted house. After scarce joys and many hardships she is at last to see high life. She is to be bred for the same points as the Persian.

 to Arbitration Proposals. Washington. Jan. 6.-Today a separate response to President Castro's last pro- posal came from Germany In many re- spectS 1t was similar to that from Great Britain and like that it named certain conditions regarding the matters under consideration on which an understanding will have to be reached before the case is submitted to arbitration.
 Germany's answer. like that of Great Britain, has been sent to President Cas- tro through the intermediary of United States Minister Bowen at Caracas. If the latter conditions suggested by the two allies are accepted by Castro, and the hope among officials here is that they may be, it is expected that a meeting will be held in Washington between Min ister Bowen. representing the government of Venezuela, and the ambassadors of Great Britain.
