II A LTH
is the
Most Important

In buying food-products, several things
are to be thought Of e., Economy,
Results, Easy Handling, Reliability, but
the most important is Health.
Health means everything. In buying
clothes, shoes, hats, furniture, etc., if the
buyer is deceived and gets an imitation
the only harm is loss Of money. In buy
ing food-products, if limitations are sup
piled, there is not on y loss of money,
but perhaps an injury to health which
is beyond price.
Remember these facts eOhen buying baking poqvder.

" OKIO, December 9.-(Noon)-The fol-

10 p M, has been received from
the commander of the naval land bat
teries in front of Port Arthur:
Eight shells struck the protected cruis-
er Pallade today and set her on fire. ST.
mutaneously, she began to list tc port,

for navigation.
During the action we discovered the
gunboat Gillad to be landward north of

Our cannon directed against the store
houses and arsenals at the northeast base
of Paiyu mountain resulted in thirty-six
hits, causing great damage"
Toxic, December 8, 5 p. m.-Considerable
astonishment is expressed here over the
fact that the Russians in no way resisted
the disabling of the Port Arthur fleet. In
certain quarters the opinion is entertained
that the Russians opened the sea cocks
of the submerged vessels so as to lessen
their exposure to the Japanese fire. The
recent cessation of mine clearing was
taken as evidence that the fleet did not in
tend to make a sortie. There was no sign
of life on the Russian ships during the
bombardment, and from this fact 1t is
concluded that the blue jackets took
refuge on land or that they are engaged
in the land defenses.
With the Russian second Pacific squad
ron approaching those in Toxic cannot
comprehend the failure of the Russians to
die hard and to inflict all possible dam
age on the Japanese fleet even at the cost
Of weakening the effective garrison.
Now that the Port Arthur fleet has been
disabled, 1t Is deemed impossible for the
Russians to overcome the inferiority of
the second Pacific squadron to Togo S

President Roosevelt took occasion to an
nounce to those republican members OF
congress who spoke to him on the subject
that he was very much in earnest about
his democratic recommendations In refer
ence to the increase of the interstate COM
merce commission.
The western republicans from the states
of Van SAINT, LaFollette and Cummings,
are highly pleased at what the Presl-
dent says on the problem, put there is
an entirely different story told by the
eastern members who generally shape leg
slation In congress. The President al
lowed II 10 be pretty well understood
that he intended to use all the influence
at his command to have a bill declared
and passed during the present session or
the next congress. In fact he has said
that should the time of this session per-
NIT it, he would heartily give his ap-
proval to a measure increasing the pow
ers of the commission. At this session.
however, 1t Is expected that little VIII
be heard on the matter. From present IN
dlcations, the next session Will witness
bitter struggle between the President
and congressional leaders over legislation
which the President favors.

MADE TWO ATTEMPTS AT AS
SAULT, WHEN SCREAMS OF VIC
TINS ATTRACTED HELP TO THE
SCENE IN COLUMBUS.

the streets tonight narrowly escaped
lynching. He first seized Mrs Charles

and the negro was frightened away.
Later near the same place he attacked
Miss May Dent, and was dragging her
into an alleyway. when her screams at
tracted passersby.
The negro was pursued and ran into
a saloon, where a large crowd quickly
gathered and threatened lynching. A
single patrolman with drawn revolver
held the crowd at bay until the patrol
wagon arrived. Some one struck the pris-
oner in the face as he was being led
to the wagon, but he was not seriously
hurt. He gave the name of Sheldon.
