seldom unaccompanied by a cyclone Of

much CONSERVATION in the game as that

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott Emulsionisthemod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

Delay In Negotiations Increases Strain

Toxic, Feb. 1.-THE Russian note is
still undelivered, and the government

ii refused immediate satisfaction in
the way of reply to it's previous note,
but still the government is patiently
waiting, although it is manifest if the
delay is much more prolonged, it will
act energeticaIly.
Events will move rapidly when the
note finally is received, If it is mate
rally unsatisfactory, and the prospect
for additional negotiation is slight,
probably Japan will dispatch an ulti-
matum before striking.
The Japanese show a remarkable
outward calm, and no scenes similar
to those in America and England be-
fore recent wars were witnessed.
There are occasional demonstrations
and outcroppings of popular feeling,
but the casual visitor to the large
cities can see but little out of the or
