GOOD LUCK.
For the Man Who Lost $50, 900 Year.

business man who had to retire in
his prime and give up an income of
more than $1,000 a year on account
of nervous stomach troubles, tells how
he gained back health and strength
simply by a little care in selecting his
food.
Three years ago after having spent
a very goodly sum trying to save my
teeth, I was obliged to have all of
them extracted, for it seemed / would
lose my mind from such supersensi-
tive nerves that prevented the proper
mastication of food and gave rise to
numerous stomach troubles which re-
fused to yield to the best medical
treatment. / got badly run down and
was compelled to retire from active
business when should have been in
my prime and at a time when my in
come exceeded $4,000 per annum.
II delayed having artificial teeth
made for eleven months in order that
the laws should have ample time to
heal. l found myself almost literally
starving to death, having lost from
100 to 13S pounds and scarcely able
to crawl about. One food after anoth-
err was tried and all failed until l got
into a desperately low state--in fact
my death was really reported in one
of the city papers.
"Rut I was better than a dead man
even then, and one day during the
temporary absence of the nurses / felt
so hungry / managed to go to the
pantry for something to eat; I saw
yellow box on the shelf directly in
front of me and as ii was the nearest
I picked IL up and read what was
printed on II about Grape-Nuts food.
That interested me. The only milk or
cream / could find was some evapo-
rated cream, so I softened the Grape
Nuts with warm water and then pour
ed on the cream and sugar and slowly
ate II with more or less fear. Inn

GREAT BATTLE SEEMS
TO BE IMPENDING

Ia Tche Kiao, (between Kaichou and
Hal Cheng, Lao Tung PENINSULA,
June 27.-2:45 a. ma great battle
seems to be impending. A portion of
the Russian army has assumed the Of
| fensive against the Japanese forces
commanded by Gen. Oku, and it is
reported that Gen. Kuroki is moving
| along the Russian left flank against
Hal Cheng. According to a high
placed parsonage Gen. Kuroki's army
is strong enough to take the often
sive, and he presumably is anxious for
decisive action before the rains be-
gin.
Sharp firing was heard in the hills
yesterday at daybreak, and severe
fighting is reported to be in progress
near the village of Ton Chen. An Of
ficer who galloped in yesterday even
ing reported that the Russians were
gaining the upper hand and driving
! back the enemy. This, however, has
not yet been confirmed.
All day yesterday Russian troops
were hurrying southwark from Tai
Tche Kiao, and as night fell battalions
were continuously moving out briskly,

songs. Clouds of dust hung over the
marching columns and the chorus of
! the infantry singers was occasionally
| interrupted by the rattle and clang of
/ guns drawn at a smart trot and fol-
lowed by galloping squadrons of caval-
ry. 1t was A stirring spectacle to
see the Russian army eagerly hasten
ing, singing, to battle. The old bat
tie hymns last heard in the Balkans
resounded among the hills and valleys,
as with bayonets glittering in the set

borne majestically forward.
For hours after darkness fell over
| the scene one could still hear the rat

| commissariat wagons and the tread
of marching men, while occasionally
in place of the war songs of the SOL
diers, homely melodies resounding the
| joys of village life, which carried the
minds of the men back to their dis
tant homes in Russia, echoed through
| the air.
AS this dispatch is filed, news has
reached here that Gen. Kuroki is
| marching upon Hal Cheng.
There are very many military at

rea- delayed in transmission)-A
party of eighteen correspondents and
military attaches has been conducted
on tour of the main Japanese works
beyond headquarters. 1t was seen that
the greatest care had been taken in
building these works, and the attaches
remarked that the temporary defenses
had been constructed with more pains
than most European armies would take
under similar circumstances. At Lao
Yang, where it was hitherto thought
the first meeting between the two ar
mics in force would occur, the Rus
slams have guns in position mounted
on the city wall, and trenches on the
plain south of the city extending over
an area of $50 degrees. These trenches
are so constructed that they can be
flooded during the rainy season.
The Japanese are completing ar
rangements for transportation where

will be assured, regardless of weather

Foreigners.

Foreigners.
Detroit, Mich, June PA sub-com-
mittee of the Congressional Merchant
Marine Commission held a hearing
here to-day. A number of persons
were heard on both sides of the sub
sidy question.
M. A. H. Morley of Detroit, who is
interested in the carrying trade with
Cuba, read a paper in which he de-
plored the fact that trade with Cuba
built up under the recent reciprocity
law. was falling almost entirely into
foreign hands. Senator Gallinger in
terposed that a clause should have been
inserted in the law requiring the use
of American bottoms.
Gen. GrosVenor and Senator CALM
ger explained that this point should
have been raised by the shippers along
the Atlantic coast but that they did
not raise it, and when attention was
finally brought to it just on the eve of
the ratification of the Cuban treaty, ii
was too late to do anything without
altering the treaty itself, which was
deemed impracticable at that hour.

Fourteenth Congress Will BE n Rec
ord Breaker.
New York June 27.-Judging by the
extensive gathering of players at the
Hotel Majestic to-day. the Fourteenth
Congress of the American Whist Lea
que will be a record breaker.
The most important event of the
opening was the contest for the Brook
Ign trophy, which is confined to play
ers from auxiliary associations. 1t
was the East against the West on
this occasion, and honors went to
Minnesota, although the representa-
tives from Chicago pushed them close
ly. The Eastern teams were from New
York and New Jersey associations and
were beaten badly.
The Western teams played so close
a game that they were tied on matches,
the result being determined by the
trick score, the winning team being
from the Northwestern Association.
