WHAT THE KING EATS.
What's Fit for Him.

A Mass. lady who has been through
the mill with the trials of the usual
housekeeper and mother relates an
interesting incident that occurred not
long ago. She says:
81 can with all truthfulness say that
Grape-Nuts is the most beneficial of
all cereal foods in my family, young
as well as old. 1t is food and med1-
cine both to us. A few mornings ago
at breakfast my little boy said:
Mamma, does the King eat Grape
Nuts every morning?
81 smiled and told him 1 did not
know, but that l thought Grape-Nuts
certainly made a delicious dish, fit for
a King" Cts fact that the King of
England and the German Emperor
both eat Grape-Nuts.)
'T find that by the constant use Of
Grape-N Nuts not only as morning ce-
real but also in puddings, salads, etc.,
made after the delicious recipes found
in the little book in each package it
is proving to be a great nerve food
for me besides having completely
cured long standing case of indiges-
tion.'' Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
There is no doubt Grape-Nuts is the
most scientific food in the world.
Ten days trial of this proper food
in place of improper food will show in
steady, stronger nerves. sharper brain
and the power to "go" longer and
further and accomplish more. There's
a reason

JAPAN MEETS REVERSE
Russians Duplicated The Japanese
Mines At Port Arthur.
RELIEF ARMY TO PORT ARTHUR.
Two Japanese warships Wrecked; One of
Them Striking Two Mines on Harbor
Entrances; The other Sunk by a Col
Iision With Another.

New Chwang, May 21.-Itis reported
here from a reliable source that
the japanese army from the Yalu
river has received a heavy blow and
has been driven back to Feng Wang
Cheng.
st. Petersburg. loss of at least
two japanese warships is officially
confirmed.
No surprise is expressed by the ad-
miralty at the Japanese vessels strik-
ing Russian mines, the admiralty ex-
pecting such mishap to vice Admiral
Togo, particularly since the naval
commanders at Port Arthur have faith
fully duplicated his plan which re-
suited in the sinking of the Petro-
pavlovsk.
Tollio.-Vice Admiral Togo has re
ported as follows:
"a report from Rear Admiral Dewa
says that the cruisers Kasoga and
Yoshino collided during fog off Port
Arthur on May Is. The Yoshino sank,
only 80 of her crew being saved.
son the same day the battleship
Hatsuze struck a Russian mine and
sank. The Hatsuze, while cruising off
Port Arthur, covering the landing of
the soldiers, struck a mine ten knots
southeast of the harbor entrance. She
signaled for help, and instantly struck
another mine. She sank in half au
hour. Three hundred of her crew
were saved by torpedo boats"
Tien Tsin.-It is reported that 20, 900
Russians are marching to the relief of
Port Arthur and the Japanese are con-
sequently fastening offensive prepara-
tions.
Forty-fve thousand troops have al
ready been landed at Kin Chau and
Talienwan, thus entirely investing
Port Arthur. The Japanese advanced
lines are seven miles from the Russian
batteries.
Slirmishes occur daily along the
railroad. 1t is believed that the ia
panese intend to attack Port Arthur
with the entire force when it numbers
10000. They are mounting sixteen
guns.
The Manchurian railway south of
Hardin is constantly broken by Chinese
marauders and the Russians threaten
reprisals. The Russians admit that
they have to contend with terrible
difficulties along the whole line. Their
men, however, are behaving splendidly
and they are confident.

IN MUkDEN DISTRICT
ANY Day May Bring News OF Great
Battle Fought There.
THE RUSSIANS WERE SURPRISED.
Japanese Are so Successful in Hiding
Their Movements That it is Only
Possible to Guess at Them From
Russian Dispatches.

London, May 19.-It is considered
that any day may bring news of a
great battle in the Mukden district as
the transport difficulties are believed
to be SO great as to make it almost
impossible for General Kuropatlzin to
effect a'rapid retirement.
No further news has reached London
throwing light upon the appearance
of Japanese troops northeast of Muk-
den or indicating by what route they
reached that point SO unexpectedly.
The Japanese are so successful in
hiding their movements that it is only
possible to guess at them from the
vague indications in Russian official
dispatches.
According to the Standards Tien
Tsin correspondent, General Kuropat-
kin has left for Hardin, Viceroy Alex
Jeff still being at Lao Yang with
10000 troops
1t is noticeable that Russian official
dispatches seldom name the place
whence they are sent.
A question greatly discussed in the
London papers is whether General
Kuropatlin has succeeded in ascer-
tanning that the japanese are threat
ening his rear so near the Mukden
line and has been enabled to begin a
retreat, or whether he has elected to
fight.
The Russians were surprised by the
appearance of the enemy at Kai Chau.
They were expecting the Yalu army.
The number of the japanese force is
not known.
New Chwang.-In confirmation of
recent Associated Press dispatches the
Russian evacuation of this city has
been completed. Nothing remains
but the destruction of the gunboat,
Nivouch.
1t was believed that the Japanese
would move into the interior until
they had thoroughly established their
base here, repeating their movement
which they made during the war with
China.
The Russians admit the advance of
the Japanese army to point within
fifteen miles of Hal Cheng.

SUPREME COURT DISAGREES.
On The "FeIIoW Servants" Law on LA
hiIity For Accidents.

Washington, May 1s.-The supreme
court of the United States laid down
the principle that a telegraph operator
for railroad company and fireman
on a railroad engine are fellow SER
want" and that the negligence of the
former causing the death of the latter
in the operation of trains was a risk
the fireman assumed and was not a
ground for damages against the rail-
road company.
A dissenting opinion was delivered
by Justice White and concurred in by
the chief justice and justices Harlan
and McKenna. In this dissenting opin-
ion the view was expressed that the
operator was the agent of the employer
aud as such his negligence rendered
the employer liable for damage or
death caused thereby.

Awoman in society is obliged tokeep
late hours. She must attend receptions
and balls. She seldom allows herself a
quiet evening at home. Her whole
time is taken up in keeping engage
ments or entertaining in her own home.
Her system becomes completely run
down as a consequence. She soon finds
herself in a condition known as sys-
temic catarrh. This has also been called
catarrhal nervousness.
If every society woman could know
the value of Peruna at such a time, if
they could realize the invigorating,
strengthening effect that Peruna would
have, how much misery could be
avoided.
Letters from society women all over
the United States testify to the fact
that Peruna is the tonic for a run
down, depleted nervous system.
