A young man who earned a fine DO
sition tells how food helped him:
In January, 1902, was engaged as
a bookkeeper for a large publishing

strain.

was compelled to resign my position,
feeling that a good rest was needed.
After three weeks recreation I ac-
cepted a position as assistant cashier
with one of the largest manufacturing
concerns in the United States, feeling
that the work would not be so hard
mentally and that the change would
be for the best.

power of my overworked and under

The food seemed to give me new life
from the start and gradually a great
power for work became evident. II in

Prersmen Enioined.

Boston, Feb. PA temporary in
junction against the International
Pressrnen's and Assistants Union was
issued to-day by Justice Boring in the
Supreme Judicial Court of Massachu-
setts. The defendants are restrained
from bringing about sympathetic
strike among pressmen la connection

benefits to those who have already left

benefit. holding that such a step would
be Illegal. The order stopping the dis
tribution Of strike benefits Is said to

We're not needed. This presented an
anomalous situation, and the cabinet
determined not to send troops at this
time.
The statement of Gov, Warfield to-
cay was regarded as making it quite
certain that the executive authorities
OF the city of Baltimore and state OF
Maryland were amply able to cope with
any situation likely to arise, and the
PRESIDENT and his cabinet felt. there
lore that they could not respond fav-
orahly to the request of the J4egisla-

would indicate that but two actual
conflicts of any moment have so far
occurred. These are the Japanese
naval attack on Port Arthur on Mon
day night and Tuesday morning and
the affair at Chemulpo on Monday and
Tuesday.
In circles where knowledge of con-
ditions in that part of the world al
lows them to speak with accuracy,
the various reports of other engage
ments are considered but echoes of
these two fights. News travels slowly
in North China. Cable and telegraph
facilities are very limited, and it is
very evident as reports of the Port
Arthur and Chemulpo affairs reach
various points they are promptly ca
bled by resident correspondents, re-
sulting in a natural confusion of dates
The circumstantial report of another
engagement, sent by the Reuter- Tele-
gram Company from Toxic under date
of Feb. 10, also undoubtedly referred
to the original Port Arthur attack
news of which has just reached To-
kio.
The flood of conflicting dispatches
from various North China points dur
ing the Boxer revolution is recalled.
For this reason the report cabled
by the Tien Tsn correspondent of
