Ruling on Mailing Cards.

Business houses using postal cards
bearing the words ssUnited States OF
America on the side or which the ad
dress is written are forbidden to pest
the cards after July 1, as result OF
general order issued by Third Assist
ant Postmaster General Madden as
follows: The law officer for this de-
partmen1 advises that cards issued
by private persons bearing on the
address side the words Omitted States
of America" are in .'likeness and simil-
itude" of the regular United States
postal card, and therefore in violation
of the law and unavailable. However,
to give owners of such cards reasonable
time to dispose Of those on hand, post
masters will accept them for mailing
until july !, 1904, upon payment Of
postage at the proper rate. On and
after July /, 1904, such cards will be
treated as unavailable at all rates.

Limit of Arbitration,

Arbitration is inconvenient, it has
been plausibly maintained, when two
countries are disputing about some
thing which belongs to a third 1t
would be amusing, nevertheless, to see
The Hague tribunal in the thralIs of
ethical discussion about the relative
gObbling rights of Russia, Japan in
Manchuria and Korea. Some organs of
refined opinion are urging arbitration
in the far east, but ordinary sense is
content to laugh at the conception of
asking body of men to decide which
of two hungry opponents has the great
er right to feed upon the property of a
third. 1t is a situation where the word
right" is used to obscure thought
"Need" is more exact word, and The
Hague tribunal can hardly pass upon
the degree to which either Japan or
Russia needs slices of China or Korea.
This is for their political doctors to de-
eide, not their confessors. However re-
fined their diplomatic manners, their
meaning is that each wants the same
space. The situation reminds a Wash
ingt0n contemporary of the story Of the
little boy who, sitting with his little
sister on very short bench, deferenti-
ally observed: Il think there would be
more room on this bench for me, Mary,
if one Of us was to get off," Such fam
iliar humor really goes to the heart of
these mighty arguments about right
and wrong. London Judy treats the
question as one of Russian internal
conditions, under the new popular
caption of Little Mary" Jappy speaks
to John Bull: "You no likee see me
goblee upee?" Bull treasures him:
Don't you worry. He no goblee very

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young ;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
{ hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigldly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
@est all you can, eat all you
an, that's the treatment and
hats the best treatment.
