SHELLS FIRED IN PORT ARTHUR
BATTLE WERE WORTH $3.50 OOO

Paris, February 15.-"The bat
tie between the elephant and tn,
whale,' as the French press char
acterizes the Russian-Japanese war
paraphrasing Bismarck's allnsior
to what a contest between England
and Germany would be-is exciting
the greatest interest and comment
here.
The first success of the japanese
Admirals is attributed to their
knowledge of the sinuosities of the
co ists and the formation of the en-
frances to the harbors, which ena-
bled them to escape all accidents.
The expense of such war is
specially dwelt npon. The cost of
the bombardment of Port Arthur,
lasting two hours, is estimated at
$3.50, 600, each shell of heavy cali
bre costing according to French
artillery experts, 5000. To this
must be added the cost of coal
consumed
The press representing the ma
tionallst party is divided as to what
Frances attitude should be at the
present moment. Deroulede and
the more moderate newspapers
favor policy of the strictest non
Intervention, while the more violent
section believes in strict adherence
TO the alliance.

indigestion Causes
Catarrh Of the
Stomach.

For many years 1t has been supposed that
catarrh Of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth Is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
pcated attacks Of indigestion inflames tho
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves Of the stomach, thus caus-
Ing the glands to secrete mucin instead Of
tho juices Of natural digestion. This 10
called Catarrh Of the Stomach.

Salt pork is a famous old.
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. Eat plenty Of
pork, was the advice to the
consumptivc 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind. it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
SCOTS mulsionisshemod
ern method Of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs. !.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats. especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only |
way, is half the battle, but |
SCOTS Emulsion does more |
than that. There is some
thing about the combination,
OF cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
acticn on the diseased lungs.

There is more Catarrh in this section of

gefher, and until the last few yeass was
supposed to be incurable For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cnre with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be con-
stitutienal disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

Making Figurcs lie.

The Indication are that Mr.. Carol
d. Wright, chief statistician Of the
government in general and OF the
Republican party in particular, will
be the busiest man liz the country for
the next two months. AS chief Jug
gler OF figures Mr.. Wright will be
called upon by The &. o. p. manage
ment to show that labor is better re-
warded and has more left after pay
ing living expenses than ever before
in its history. If anybody can juggle
the figures so as to make a showing,
Mr.. Wright is the man. Not long
ago he proceeded to show that the
average cost Of living was lower now
than 1t was ten years ago, and did it
by showing that while such things as
bacon and flour had increased some
thing like 40 per cent, nutmegs and
spices had decreased something like
GO per cent, showing a clear decrease
OF 20 per cent In the cost Of living.
And in his estimates OF the cost OF
living Mr.. Wright forgot to include
the important item Of rent, which
takes fully 10 per cent Of the average
workingman's income. Mr.. Wright
will have to work at q desperate rate
II he would do what his employers
expect him to do for the G. O. p. cam-
paign.

been credited last week:
The query recurs what to do? Neg
atiyely, I am quite prepared to say
that we must avoid our past mistakes
of relying on statutes, or constitu-
tional provisions, or Congressional ac-
tion, to bring OH or bring back bet
ter state Of things. The evils to be
abated cannot be reached by legal
methods or appliances. Who does not
see how impotent, how aggravating Of
our evils, have been all our essays at
settling the problem or meliorating
the situation by the application from
the Outslde-I mean outside the
States or communities in which the
problem Is most serious of legal reme-
dies? The movement, under such
treatment, has always been from bad
to worse. And yet recurrence to
such means is now called for and rec
commended by few high authorities.

pers have ever known, paper here.

law forbidding judges to accept free
