Ii is said that at least $4,000 jap
anese soldiers have been slain IN the
recent assaults upon Port Arthur and
the slain Russians cannot be
many fewer. Both sides have waded
in blood and the terrible slaughter
has appalled, the world, There have
besn few such examples of courage in
the history OF mankind and it shows
that the old world still carries an
abundant supply of heroic virtue.
Port Arthur is the key to the situation
ard unless Japan succeeds in captur-
ing that point the war to her will be
failure. And if Russia loses Port
Arth II her hold on the east will be so
weak that she will practically have
lost all for which she has spent so

The matter of feed is Of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get'the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children !:
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

Leap Year Party.

In honor of Miss Gretchen Della
hoyde who lately returned from a
summers visit in Oregon, leap
year party was given Tuesday
evening at the home of the young
lady's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. F. w.
Delahoyde on North Park street. In
order that there might be no un-
just discrimination, the young
ladies participating in the event,
each wrote the name of some
young gallant on piece of paper
and deposited it in proper recep-
tacie and then the papers were
we'll mixed up and the twelve or fif-
teen ladies each in turn drew one
of the slips upon which her enjoy
ment for the evening depended and
if any were disappointed they man
aged to conceal the fact and on
the evening mentioned all appear
ed at the appointed time and place
with their best fellow, to whom due
loyalty was shown. The evening
was spent in delightful manner
With games and numerous other
alnusements to while away the
hours. During the evening deli
cate lunch was served, the ladies
seeing that the gentlemen to whom
they had acted as escorts lacked
for nothing. When the hour of de-
parture came the gentlemen wer
assisted very tenderly in donning
their hats and overcoats and were
escorted to their several abodee
in true cavalier style.
