The Strenuous Life
What 1t Often Results In.

This is the day and time of the
strenuous. The American people are
and always have been strenuous. It
Is a strenuous nation, and our strenu-
osity has had a very great deal to do
with our phenomenal growth and de-
velopment. We probably will always
be strenuous, and just where it will
land us as a nation, no man can tell.
The chief magistrate of the country
may be called the great high priest Of
the strenuous life. and with such an
there can be no question as to the re-
suit.
Like all other things, good and bad,
there can easily be too much strenu-
osity, and too much of a good thing
is almost as bad as too much of a bad
thing. ~ ~. :. s5 - ~
One of the first and universally bad
habits Of the strenuous is too fast eat
ing. The strenuous man usually has
no time to devote to the proper mas
tication of food. He piles into his
calls on the stomach to do the double
work Of teeth and stomach.
Years of this sort of abuse certain
ly and surely bring its penalty, and
it is no exaggeration to say that three
quarters of the active business men
of the United States suffer from dys-
pepsia.
Walther's Peptonized Port is not a
stimulant, it's not a drug. It's food,
and a tonic. At the same time, it is
not followed by a reaction or torpor,
which usually follows artificial stim-
ulation.

| lasting strength and substance to all
disabled stonachs. It is the stom-
ach's best and truest friend.
| More than half the ills of the hui
man body arise from disordered di-
gestive organs. Improper food, inn
perfect assimilation, resulting in i'm
paired digestion, distress after eating,
diarrhoea, biliousness and dyspepsia.
Why not be reasonable for the stom
ach's sake, take the thing that the
stomach needs and Graves, and be
yourself again?

New York Sun Special Service.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 31.-Any op-
timism as to a peaceful outlook was
rudely shaken by the Toxic dispatches,
and the sentiment prevailing is that
war is inevitable, and the chances OF
averting the same have been reduced
to g. minimum.
A diplomat, speaking of the chances
of war, remarked: "The difference
between the antagonists is that
Japans resources are limited, while
those of Russia are inexhaustible."
high military authority, accepting wal
as foregone conclusion, said:
II presume when the time comes
the Japanese will effect landing in
Korea. Well, what of it? And what
after that?"
Thus indicating that Russia pro-
poses to precipitate action should
Japan try to force the situation.

Port Arthur, Dec. 31.-Ever alert
and patiently watching for the first
move in the contest with Japan, the
Russian fleet, under the command of
Admiral Alexieff, lies here in its war
paint, ready for action.
Soldiers are arriving daily and the
Russians here are confident of success
if war should begin. Snow lies on the
ground, and the cutting northwest
wind which will continue blowing till
next March would render the landing
of a hostile force on this bleak coast
difficult even if there were no one to
offer opposition. =
Manchuria is being deserted by
japanese. Most Of the rich business
men in this port have sailed for Japan.
Admiral Alexieff prevented a panic
among them by assuring them that In
case Of hostilities he would send them
safely out Of Port Arthur in neutral

BLUFF ON BOTH HANDS
Russian Reply Not Expected for Te
DAYS at Least.

Paris Dec. 31.-Wh1le still not be-
lieving that war between Russia and
Japan will occur, the optimistic tone
in official and diplomatic circles here
was somewhat modified to-day by ad-
vices from Toxic and ST. Petersburg.
Japan, it appears, is fastening prep
arations for the purpose. it is sug-
gested, of influencing Russia's action
upon the Japanese note.
Russia, on the other hand, has no
intention to hurry. Her reply is not
expected to be made before Jan. 10.
Russia's purpose seems to be to put
the onus of declaring war upon ia
pan, if such be the result Of the nego-
tiations.

so5F SENATORS AND THE CANAL

The Senators who voted against the 1.ooo|
ton barge canal have issued statement OF
their reasons for the faith that is III them
Their views are entitled to respect and TO the
consideration of the voters, who must pass
upon the canal enlargement project next NO
vember With all due regard for their Wlsdom'
however. we are inclined to think that Lhe
recommends tons of expert students OF the
ira ansportation problem such as composed Gov
erpor Roosevelts commission were entitled TO
more weight than theirs. Likewise the almost
unanir1ous opiniop of the statesmen Of the
leading commercial nations of Europe in favor
OF developing canal systems as compliments to
railroad systems, even when the latter are con
trolled by the State, and so need no water COM
petitors to regulate rates, would seem more
vaIua bic on the question OF economic sound
ness or unsoundness Of water transportation
than the opinions Of these gentlemen from JEFF
ferson, St Lawrence, Chenango. Ontario and
other anti-canal counties, whose political econ
omy is too likely to consist Of theory that
the city OF New-York should pay everything
and get nothing undet perfect system of
State government.
Turning aside from the general argument on
the need Of the canal and allegations that it
will be enormously expensive and accompanied
by gigantic corruptton-under q government Of
winch they. Raines. Aids, etc, are most pow
erfuI factors-the Senators indulge in a dis
timely demagogic argument. They appeal 10
the prejudice against foreign laborers who, it
Is said. viii be introduced to do the work.
That was one of the favorite arguments Of the
so-called friends Of labor against the Penn
sylvania tunnel According to il, all great pub
lie enterprises should be suspended because our
"rative"-that is our labor union workers,
wherever born-no longer 4esire to do the
drudgery of unskilled labor No tunnels should
be dug, OF railroads built, or canals enlarged,
lest our native workers be menaced-
