st. Petersburg, June 17.-Emperor
Nicholas has received the following
telegram dated June 16 from Gen. Ku-
ropatkin:
al have received the following dis
patch from Lieut.. Gen. Baron Stakel-
berg, dated June 16:
Yesterday 1 had intended to at
tack the enemy's right flank but just
as our troops had been assigned for
.he purpose and were beginning to
successfully envelop the enemy's right
flank the Japanese in turn attacked
my right flank with superior forces
and 1 was compelled to retreat by
three roads to the north
"'Our losses are heavy, but they are
not yet completely known.
During the engagement the Third
and Fourth batteries of the First ar
tillery brigade were literally cut to
pieces by the Japanese shells.
"'Of 16 guns, 13 were rendered COM
pletely useless and were abandoned.
1.-The conduct of the troops was ex-
cellent, large proportion refusing to
retire until after they had been repeat
edly ordered to do So
The popular disappointment felt III
st. Petersburg over the result of Lieut..
Gen. Baron Stakelberg's fight, which
it had been hoped for the past SO hours
might turn out to be a victory, is tenn
pered somewhat by the knowledge
that the Russian force was overwhelm-
ed by numbers. Gen. Stakelberg does
not attempt to conceal the seriousness
of his losses, but his report and the
report from all other Russian sources
agree that the retreat was in no sense
a rout.
The fierce character of the fight is
made evident by the fact that the
Russians we're again forced to aban-
don their guns, thus indicating. as in
previous encounters, the superiority
of the Japanese artillery.

FOOD FACTS
What an NJ. D. Learned.


A prominent physician of Rome,
Georgia, went through a food expert
ence which he makes public:
1t was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food,
and l also know from having pre-
scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients that the food is a won
derful rebuilGer and restorer of nerve
and brain tissue, as well as muscle. Ii
improves the digestion and sick pa
tients always gain just as did il
strength and weight very rapidly.
81 was in such low state that
had to give up my work entirely and
go to the mountains Of this state;
but two months there did not improve
me: in fact was not quite as well as
when 1 left home. Ny food absolutely
refused to sustain me and it became
plain that I must change; then I be-
gan to use Grapefruit food and in two
weeks l could walk mile without
the least fatigue and in five weeks re-
turned to my home and practice, TAX
ing up hard work again. Since that
time have felt as well and strong as
! ever did in my life.

all sufferers Z consider it a duty tc
make these facts public" Name given
