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

4 Mass lady who has been through
the mill with the trials of the usual
housekecper and mother relates an
interesting incident that occurred not
long ago. She says:
Il can with all trutkfulness say that
Grape Nuts is the most beneficial of
all cereal foods in my family, young
as well as old. 1t is food and medt-
cine both to us. 4 few mornings ago
at breakfast my little boy said:
Mamma, does the King eat Grape
Nuts every morning"
Il smiled and told him l did not
know, but that | thought Grape Nuts
certainly made delicious dish fit for
a King" Cts fact that the King Of
England and the German Emperor
both eat GrapeNutsD
Il find that by the constant use Of
Grape Nuts not only as a morning ce-
real but also in puddinss. 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 Greek. Mich.
There is no doubt GrapeNuts 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
a reason.
Look in each pkg. for the famous
little book. The Road to Wellville.

JAPS ADVANCE ON
PORT ARTHUR
Twelve Thousand of Mikado's Sol
diers Reported Killed.

Toxic: Kin-Chow has fallen before
the advance of the japanese army
and the Russian soldiers. routed
from all their strOngholds in the sur
rounding hills. are fleeing toward Port
Arthur. The japanese are pursuing
them and from fragamentary tele-
grams which have been received by
the General Staff it is supposed that
the Japanese will continue to follow
up their victory to the very ramparts
of Port Arthur
Beginning at Kin-Chow on Wodnes-
day the battle ragged for sixteen hours
on into the night as the SWarthE llt'Ir
soldiers swept their almost impreSna-
Bile breatswurks before them and
drove the enemy back to Nan-Shan
Hill. There the Russians made Il more
decided stand. but when morning
came the Japanese fell upon them
with such fury that the Muscovites
were routed, in disorder, leaving many
of their field pieces behind them.
1t was 8 bloody battle in which
losses We're heavy on both sides. One
report has it that twelve thousand
Japanese were slain. but this is
thought TO b" an CXaggeratiOn. 1t is
thought. however. that the Russian
loss was rs heavy as that of the
Japanese.
The japanese are now masters of
all the territory west of Talien-Wan
Bay and within tu'aI"n miles Of Port
Arthur ,..hHrA there is saln -
another line OF fOrtitications. Many
Russian cannon were captured.
1t is estimated that the Russian
strength at Port Arthur is 2o.on" men.
while the Japanese forces on the is
thmus number $4,000, exclusive OF the
Fifth Army. which is said to have
landed preparatory for an attack
on Port Arthur.
Vice Admiral Togo reports that the
entire coast OF the Eiau-Tung Pcnin-
sula lying south of line between
Pitsewo. on the east, and Pu-I.an-
1len. on the west is in state of et-
fective blockade by the Japanese
Navy.
h4n-Chow is regarded as the stratc-
gical key to the peninsula and there
is great rejoicing here over the
victory.
The Russians had made elaborate
preparations 10 check the Japanese
movement south uf the Liao-Tung
Peninsula. toward Port Arthur. They
had fortified the high ground on the
south shore Of TairnWan Bay, their
works extending to the east and west.
