London. Feb. ia dispatch from
Paris says that news has been re.
ceived there that the Russian and jap
anese land forces are engaged in a
general engagement on the Yalu riv-
er. but does not state just WI ere the
fight is proceeding. Other dispatches
repeat yesterdays report that the jap
anese had tried to land at Talienwan
and Pigeon C'Dove") bay and in both
cases had been defeated. explaining
he absence OF help from the japanese
navy by saying that the ships had
withdrawn too far off shore to be of
any use. thinking that there was no
force of Russians at either place. The
TWO points mentioned are opposite each
other on the isthmus that the
LiaO-Tung peninSular with the main
land.
Looks Like Heavy Jap Losses.
All these fights appear TO have taken
place the middle Of last week. just aft
sr the bombardment Of Port Arthur by,
The japanese. Another report says
hat a japanese transport has been
sunk with $500 troops on board. The
losses in the land fights reported above
are put. all Japanese. at 40 al Talien-
wan and thirty at Pigeon Glove,
bay. What seems TO be another fight

Another report says that the Rus
sian forts mistook three Russian tor
pedo boats for Japanese craft and sunk
them. This seems to have been az

The distracting headaches from which
so many women suffer make life a daily
purgato-y. If me suffered with head
ache as women do, business would be
almost at a standstill. Does not the fact
that women only suffer from these severe
headaches suggest that there must be a
womanly cause for them?
When the wornanly organism is dis
eased, headache, backache, nervousness
and sleeplessness are consequences which
are sure to follow.
