THEY ACTUALLY
Do THE WORK.
Food Eaten is Worthless Unless Diqested = Some
Stomachs Must Have Help

Food taken into the Stomach which
from the nature of the food or the con
dition of the stomach, is not digested,
is worse than no food at all. This
is a true statement as far as it goes
and a great many dyspeptics go only
this far with their reasoning. They
argue with themselves that because
their stomachS do not do the work
given them, they must be given less
work; in other words they must be
starved. 1t would be just as sensible
for a business man who is unable to
do all his own work to cut down his
business to his own capacity as it is
for man to starve himself to relieve
his stomach. The sensible business
man employs help and goes forward
with his business. Likewise the sensi-
BILE dyspeptic will employ help for his
stomach and give his body proper
nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them. They
relieve weak and overburdened ston-
achs of great portion of digestive
action. Their component parts are
identical with those of the digestive
fluids and secretions of the stomach
and they simply take up the grind and
carry on the work just the same as n
good. strong, healthy stomach would
do it.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
action and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance in
the stomach or bowels. They them
| selves digest the food and supply the
system with all the nourishment con-
tanned in what is eaten and carry out
! Natures plans for the sustenance and
maintenance of the body.
How much more sensible is this
method than that employed by many
sufferers from weak stomachs. BY this
means the body and brain get all the
good nutritious food they need and
! the man is properly nourished and
equipped to carry on his work and
perform his duties. He could not pos
sibly be in proper working condition
/ by starving himself or employing some
new tangled, insufficient food that
/ does not contain enough nutriment

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t not only cures colds aad
grip eTectually and permanently, but
prevents these diseases from resulting
in pneumonia. 1t is also certain cure
for Group. Whooping cough is not dan
gerous when this remedy is given. 1t
contains no opium or other harmful sub
stance and may be given as confidently
to baby as to an adult. 1t is also
pleasant to take. When all of these
facts are taken into consideration it is
not surprising that people in foreign

remedy very highly and very few are
willing to take any other after having

Russian War Ships Ds mayed.

Instead of sortie of the Russian war
ships from Port Arthur, il now appears,
according 10 japanese advices, that four
Russian warships we're damaged by the
fire of japanese land batteries, one Of
the vessels being destroyed. Heavy Japa-
nese guns now command every Russian
warship in the harbor.
Several sensational reports come from
VIadivostok, one to the effect that Gen.
eral Kuropatkiu has been very i'll and
unable to personally command his army
since the battle of Liaoyang, and an
other that the Russians are in commuui-
cation with Port Arthur by wireless
telegraphy.
Lieutenant General Hasegawa goes to
Korea to assume command of the Japa-
nese forces there. 1t is probable that
his appointment foreshadows a move to
expel the Cossacks now operating In
northwestern Korea.
The Russian admiralty continues
without news of the reported sea fight oil
Port Arthur, as well as of the Toxic re-
port Of the wrecking and damaging OF
Russian warships at Port Arthur by the
Japanese land batteries. AS a portion
of the squadron has been going out oc-
casionally to lombard the japanese land
positions, the possibility that some of the
Russian vessels may have been damag-
ed by the japanese batteries is admit
ted.
The admiralty officially announce:
that the Baltic fleet will be ready to sail
as soon as the battleship Orel aud the
cruisers Oleg. Zemotohug, and Izumrud,
whiclIsailed from Cronstadt yesterday, ar
rive at Revcl. The ice-breaker Ermat
will accompany the fleet.

SUNK BY A WHALE.

A remarkable story was narrated yes
terday by Capt. Christian Masden, the
master Of the ill-fated Danish schooner
Anna, who arrived in Baltimore on the
Johnston liner Quernmore, from Liver
pool. Captain Masden's vessel was
wrecked in midocean September q, fol-
lowing a collision with a giant whale,
the effect of which was to kill the man.
moth leviathan and send the Anna to
the bottom of the sea.
Captain Mssden's vessel, which was
three masted schooner, was laden with
60 tons of ballast rock, and it was while
22 days out from Patrix and bound for
Campbellstown, N. b., that the collision
occurred. There we're no passengers on
the Danish vessel, which carried crew
of seven, including Captain Masden,
all of whom we're rescued by Captain
Jones, of the Quernmore, after drift
ing helplessly about Tor three days in
the leaking schooner, which threat
ened every moment to keel over and
sink.
The stirring tale of the attack of the
big whale, as told by Captain Masden,
is as follows: at was on Tuesday
morning, September 27, that the whale
struck us, at which time we were y
days out of Patrix. 1t was about 4
O'Clock in the afternoon, | think, when
we we're all Mortified to see mammoth
whale rise to the surface just ahead OF
us. We were proceeding slowly at the
time, and before we could tack or make
any effort to avoid the leviathan the
whale, blowing streams of water 90 feet
in the air, bore down upon us.
"The huge animal struck us a glanc-
ing blow on the bow, the shock of the
collision knocking all of us down. With
a tremendous crash the Anna heaved
on her side, and when she resumed her
normal position four feet Of the bow had
been carried away and the stern post
smashed into splinters. The whale
swan along our starboard side, snorting
and blowing blasts of water all over the
vessel, which rocked like an eggshell in
a gale. Within few moments after the
collision, however, the whale rolled on
its side, while the water about turned a
pale red, presumably from wounds re-
ceiyed by the whale in its attack upon
our vessel. Blowing, but feebly, the
whale continued the struggle to main
tain its equilibrium. while every moment
but added to the large pools of blood
which followed in his wake. The last
we saw Of him he was swimming slowly
and evidently dying.
"The Auna began to fill with water
Immediately after the attack, and it re-
quired the combined efforts of the crew
working at the pumps in order to keep
her from sinking. We managed 10
patch up several of the gaping holes in
her bow, but it was only by dint Of hard
work at the pumps that We managed to
remain on top of the water until Friday
morning, when Captain Jones rescued
US. When the party from the Quern-
more came aboard we ceased work at the
pumps, but in the short time elapsing
before we quit the Anna the water in
her hold had risen an inch or more to
every minnie. | think she sank, as she
must have shipped several tons in the
hour after we deserted her. She was
still ahoat, though, when we passed over
the horizon"
