THURSDAY EVENING,

anything but a. happy one.s
OF course. in time we shall know
all about it. There will be some great
stories to tell, when the telling Is re-
garded by the military censor as per-
missible. s$
Meantime. war news thru the most
efficient agencies, including the Assoc
ciated Press, Is bound to be fragment
tary and consist largely Of reports sent
from points outside the limits of Jap
anese or Russian control. For exam
pie, the best story of the first assault
on Port Arthur came from Chinese
port and was obtained from the crew
of Norwegian vessel which hap
pened to be in Port Arthur harbor at
the time Of the attack. Before the
vessel was, allowed to leave that port
the Officers We're sworn not to reveal
anything about the conditions In Port
Arthur or the effects Of the Japanese
attack, but the sailors were not sworn,
and from them was obtained at Chi
fu the best account Of the battle. So
1t has happened In other cases, that
the fullest and sometimes the only in
formation obtainable has come from
points on the Chinese coast, after 1t
has drifted thru the news embargo
laid by the combatants on both sides.
Such conditions naturally produce re-
ports that are more or less conflicting
and unfounded rumors gain ciroula-
ton, but they are given out as rumors
when not regarded as probably true,
and the reading public may be as
sured that no pains or expense are
being spared to get the facts for them
as quickly and accurately as possible.
Never before We're the news agencies
Of the world more jealous or more
disposed to incur any expense neces-
sary to serve the public than in the
case of this war.

miration at the pictures of former
speakers. "Joe," said the New
Yorker, you're a coed deal the
best-looking fellow of the lot. :"
"No doubt about it." answered
Cannon, without the faintest sign
of smile. "And you are also the
smartest man in the bunch, toe"
continued Mr.. Sulzer. "In fact
you are simply good. I often

1t is natural for people to doubt,
but when Druggists G. M. Crosby & Co.
frankly offer to buy back. any empty
boxes when Mi-o-na fails to restore
health and increase the weight and re-

silences the doubters and they cannot
help but feel that Mi-o-na is an unusual
and remarkable preparation. Used for
little while, this flesh forming food
will show that it actually furnishes real
nourishment, regulates digestion and
increases weight.
Weigh yourself and then begin its
use and the scales will soon show the
good Mi-o-na is doing. 1t gives strength
and tone to the digestive organs, makes
rich, red blood and puts the whole sys-

it did net do what is claimed for it.,
Druggists G. M. Crosby & Co. could not
afford to sell it the way they they do,
agreeing to refund the cost, soc, in case
it does not give complete satisfaction.
Every one who is thin, weak and out

Mi-o-na on these terms, for it costs
absolutely nothing unless it makes you
