The sharp advance was due to fear

element of strength.

Paris, Feb. 20-A representative Of

of the Russian military concentration
at Harbin after great hardships, due
to the Transsiberian railway trains

Thursday confirms the announcement
that that place will be the main base
of the Russian land operations. Thus
far the base has succeeded in main
tanning it's communication with Port
Arthur.
The concentration of troops, the
correspondent says, proceeds sys-
tematically and provision has been
made for the speedy arrival of 100000
men from the divisions OF MOSCOW,
Kietf and Earsovie. Before twelve

Will have disposed OF an army Of 400,-

Intense. denoralization exists among
the populace' and the people OF the
surrounding villages are flocking into
the town seeking to reach Western
Russia. The railway trains, however,
are blocked and over 1000 yoyagers
are thus held up. The inteEse cold
prevailing increases the suffering and
adds to the difficulties of bringing for
ward troops.

CIGAROLOGY AS A NEW SCIENCE

those who send forth the smoke from
the two corners of their mouths in two
divergent jets, since they are eccentric
and unreliable.
Men who are quick tempered or of
lively temperament hardly touch the
tip of the cigar with their teeth, and
after two or three puffs they take it
from the mouth and hold it in the
hand. In other matters they act sim
ilarly; that is, they do everything by
fits and starts, and find it impossible
to adhere very long to any fixed
| course Of action.

and, if they are not very choice in
their taste, try to light it again. Akin
to them are the men who, after smok-

Kansas City Star.

The Book Of Mormon, giving an &C.
count of the peopling of the American
continents, is written in the archaic
language of the Bible and contains
copious extracts from the Scriptures.
1t is divided into numerous books-of
Nephi, Jacob, Enos, Mormon, Ether
and the like-and, these are subdivid-
ed into chapters and verses. Briefly,
the story is this: After the confusion
Of tongues at Babel, America was set
tied by one of the peoples whose de-
scendents finally destroyed each other.
Then about 600 B. c., Lehi, his wife,
four sons and ten friends from Jeru-
salem, landed on the coast Of Chile.
All went well until the death of Lehi
and the appointment of his youngest
son, Nephi, to the leadership. This
aroused the resentment Of the elder
brothers, who were in consequence
condemned to have dark skins and to
be an idle, miscellaneous race-the pro-
genitors of the Indians.
Between the Nephites and the bad
Hebrews wars continued for centuries
until finally the Nephites fell away
from the true faith and in 384 A. D..
were nearly annihilated by their dark
skinned foes in q battle at the hill of
Cumorah in Ontario county, N. Y.
Among the few who escaped were
Mormon and his son Moroni. Nor
mon collected the sixteen books Of rec
ords kept by successive kings and
priests, into one volume, which, after
his death, was supplemented by his
son and by him buried in the hill of
Cumorah with the divine assurance

BY the Manner in Which a Cigar
Is Held and Smoked the Char
acteristics Of the Owner Can Be
Told. ...
PerfectO.

PerfectO. = 49,
For many years there have been
men who claim to be able to judge the
character Of a smoker by the manner
in which he holds his cigar.
1t has remained, however, for a
European psychologist to reduce these
observations to science.
1t is claimed that, by following the
rules formulated for the study Of CT
garology, as the new science has been
named, the character of a stranger
who is smoking, a cigar may be discov-
cred more readily than in any other
manner. A man may smile and
smile and be a villain," but when he
lights a cigar he unmasks himself at
once to the genealogical student.
Here are the results of the psychol-
ogist's observations and deductions,
given FOR what they are worth:
"Fastidious men, after lighting their
cigars, hold them not only between
their lips, but also with two, three,
four, or even with all the fingers of
the left hand, and. after smoking for
awhile, they remove them from their
mouths and examine the lighted ends
carefully to see Aif everything is in
order, "a nd $esrss cially if the fire is
burning steadily and evenly. Men
who act thus never waste any words
and are generally shrewd and prudent.
AS a rule, they are worthy of

WHAT IS CATARRH- l.?

! When we talk of " Catarrh -
you must not think we mean only
that form of catarrh which affects
the nose and throat, and is very
similar to a bad cold. Catarrh is
a disease that attacks any part Of
the body, wherever the mucous
membrane extends, and that is
practically all over the entire sys-
tenn, for the mucous membrane is
the delicate lining of all the Or
Bans of the body.
Catarrh is inflammation and con-
gcstion of the mucous membrane
wherever located.
Consequently you can have ca
tarrh in any part Of the body.
Tour back may ache or you may
have headaches, a disordered stom-
ach or bladder trouble. Possibly
there are no acute symptoms and
you are merely run down and worn
out-so miserable that you feel
tired of life.
HEED NATURES WARNING.
All these are symptoms of ca
tarrh. They are Natures warning
that some part of the mucous
membranes has become inhamed
and the little cells stopped up
with poisonous secretions.
Rexali Mucu-Tone was created
to correct these unhealthy con-
ditions. -. --~...... ....
PROMPT, HEALTHY STIMULATION
MucuTone, working through
the bloodvessels, is carried by them
direct to the infamcd membranes.
Here it drives out the poisons and
allays the inflammation.
If you try Mucu-Tone for any
of the troubles above described
and it doesn't do what we claim,
all you have to do is to say SO and
we will hand you back your money
without question.
