While the Japs eA'S winning Now 1t
Is Hard to Tell the Final Outcome.
An impression prevails that while
the early victories in the present war
may go to the japanese, the final tri-
umph of Russia Is Inevitable. 1t il
maintained, quite naturally, that in
contest between a large nation of 1884,
GOO, 900 people, with war strength of
over 3 900, 900 men, and a small nation
of $4,000, 900 people, with a war
strength of about 600, 900 men, there
can be but one result. The larger
power will overcome the smaller by
sheer force of weight and numbers.
We're Japan European power, situat-
ed within easy reach of Russia, this
conclusion might be warranted. 1t
should be remembered, however, that
Russia must c0nduct this war from
the main base Of supplies. 1t is nee
essary to transport men and material
from 5000 to 1000 miles over single
railroad with only one track. 1t is
over this long line of communication
that men, animals, artillery, ammuni
ton and general war supplies must be
carried, and it is easy to see that wag-
ing war at point so remote from the
national military base must be an ex-
tremely difficult undertaking.
Japan, on the other hand. has only
to transport its men and war matreials
few hundred miles and it is in the
enemy's country. With its acknowl-
edged naval strength it can easily keep
up its lines of communication, and
sending reinforcements or needed sup
plies is a matter of comparative few
hours. Russia must trust to long
single track railroad for everything
needed in the campaign, and with that
line cut or interrupted, there must be
halt. 1t has been said that even now
it will take several months before a
large army and its impeachment can be
thrown from European Russia into
Manchuria, mad with a Japanese army
breaking the line of communications
the Russians must be at decided dis
advantage.

and splitting. Catarrh is nuisance
and source of annoyance, not only
to the one who has it, but everybody
else. The thick, yellow discharge
from the head produces feeling of
personal deflement, and the odor of
the breath is almost intolerable.
The catarrhal poison brings on
stomach troubles and affects the Kid

soft bones and tissues of the head
and throat, causing total or partial

you sick all over, for it is a dis
ease of the blood, and circulates all
through the system, and for this
reason, sprays, washes, inhalers,
powders and salves have proven
failures.
The way to cure Catarrh thor

Jubilee of Anaesthesia.

OCTORs disagree as to the exact date
| lwhen the fiftieth anniversary OF the
Ddiscovery OF anaesthesia should have
been celebrated, but they all accept
DIR. Morton. of Boston, as the discoverer
OF this wonderful aid to surgery and agree
on 1886 as the year. Whether the day was
september 80 or October 16 makes little
difference to the thousands who have been
made insensible to pain through the use OF
this wonderful discovery. DR.. Morton was
a dentist and had long been experimenting
with view to deadening pain in his own
particular practice. Other dentists had
been before him in the use of chloric ether
for operations on the teeth. as Davy had
been before them In the use of nitrous
oxide or laughing gas.
DR.. Morton perceived that 1t not only
deadened pain in the cavity OF the tooth,
but benumbed the surrounding parts. The
idea instantly occurred to him that II he
could devise some means for bringing the
whole system under the influence of ether
II would be a valuable means of relief In
more intense and diffused pain. In Short
his aim was to extend the benefit from the
tooth to the whole body.
His first public experiment was with the
Laughing gas of Davy and was complete
failure. which covered him and his COM
panions with ridicule. Then he tried sui

He was a man who begged to be mes

Grafton upon an liberated tooth. The ether
was administered and did its work so that

was entirely insensible to pain. But when
the operation was over the terrified opera
tor and his assistants found the patient
entirely motionless. for even the wrenchine
