menaced by the Japanese armies, is a
walled town of probably so 900 popula-
ton, and is situated on the Manchu-
rian railway about forty miles south
of Mukden. The road to Antung, on
the Yalu, starts from Lao Yang. and
there are other highways that make
it the center of commerce of the sur
rounding country. General Kuropat-

and immense stores of war munitions
also are believed to be in the city.
Should the Russians be compelled to
abandon these supplies the loss would

Many hard working young woman
spends her noon hour in an endeavor to
get little rest to carry her through the
remaining hours of the day. She is
weak and weary, but she cannot give up
the occupation which supports her. She
must go back to the office and the type
writer, to the store and its duties, with
tiresome customers to wait on and ex-
acting employers to please.
For people who are weak and run
down there is no medicine SO valuable as
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t cures diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition.
Many diseases in organs remote from the
stomach have their origin in diseased
condition of the stomach and its allied
organs. When the stomach is vweakn
there is a failure to properly digest and
assimilate the food which is eaten.
Hence the whole body, and each organ
Of it, suffers from lack of nutrition, so
that as a consequence of "weak stom-
ach, there may be weak lungs, uweak"
heart, "weakn or torpid liver, vweak"
nerves, etc. By curing diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition, "Golden Medical Discov-
cry" enables the assimilation of the
nutriment necessary for the requirements
of a healthy body. 1t increases the ac-
tivity Of the matchmaking glands, and

Is the vital fluid of the body.
