Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. Eat plenty of
pork was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years. ago.
Salt pork is good if man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
s-r4.sErr,Aairfit4ihEcafhff5aa seotr sF1r1frurtr1rfi tiEcaff
.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
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

Chen yesterday without opposition. Sang
Cheng is on the Pekin road. eighteen
miles west of Cheng Ju, and about forty
miles south of Wiju When the Japa-
nese drove the Russians out of Cheng Ju
last Monday, the Russians withdrew in
two columns, one going over the Koak
San road and the other over the Pekin
road. The Japanese advance from Cheng
Ju was made very rapidly. 1t was antlc-
ipated that the Russians would resist this
advance. but they failed to do so, and
now 1t is not probable that there will be
any further opposition south of the Yalu
river.
Cheng Ju. because of its superior nat
ural surroundings, is the strongest place
between Ping Yank and Wiju. Besides
these natural advantages, there Is an old
Korean fort there which, had 1t been de-

left here this morning for Havana via

United States was entered into. commer-

of the present situation and says:

position, he Is awaiting the development
of the second japanese mobilization be-
fore making a decisive move. This devel-

precluded from detailing It,
THE country which the Japanese troops
are now operating in has been studied
with a view to rendering the operations
of the Cossacks less valuable than those
of well-trainod infantry. In outpost af..
fairs hithertoo, honors have been more or
less equally divided.

the main Russian concentration is on the
line from Lao Yang to Hal Cheng, south

Belmont, and in the case OF Senator
Blackburn, who talked with the New

Maryland would be the best man the DEM

fact that Mr.. Belmont took such an i'm

st. Petersburg, April s.-The Now Krai
of Port Arthur thus describes the scene
on board the cruiser Bayan during the
recent bombardment in which she dlstln-
guished herself:
Bursting shells bowled over man after
man until the decks were slippery with
blood. Amidst this hell the captain stood
unmoved in the coming tower. calmly
telephoning his orders to the gun cap
tains. His wonderful calmness had a
marvellous influence upon all the officers.
The cockpit was soon crowded thirty
nine men being there before the fight
ended.
When the battle ended and the enemy
began to draw off, the officers on the
bridge cheered and the cheering extended
down into the hold. the stolSers and even
the wounded joining In it.

ahead after The retreating Japanese, but
the battleship had not gone far before the

the opinion is expressed that such a
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain would be an undesirable
