Big Jap Loss Unconfrmed.

The story that the Japanese lost $4,000
men at Port Arthur is still without con-
firmation, and its origin is unexplained.
The marine fort, which II is rumored

cleared from Nagasah and Moji daily

THE SOURCES OF
HER CHARM

Poets and lovers OF New Orleans will
tell you that the girl of the southern
city gets her pale creamy complexion
from the magnolias that bloom in such
profusion; her grace and linguid ease of
motion from the thousands of waving
palms; the dusk OF her eyes and hair
from the wondrous tropical beauty of
the southern nights: her voice from the
whispering of the zephyrs and the
changeful song of the mocking bird.
Much of her health Is undoubtedly ow-
ing to the fruit she eats; oranges like
globes of greenish or russell gold into
whose flavor has entered the perfume of
the most delicious flower in the fruit
world; figs. which arc flowers. purple
