KURoPATKIN's ACTIVITY.
Occupies Positions Which the Japan
csc Hoped to Seize.

NEwCHwANG, April 27.-General
Kuropat1in's deployment is so far ad-
vanced that il covers the very lines
the japanese purpose to occupy.
Should the Japanese succeed in driv-
ing the Russians north, the Muscovite
line Of defense will extend from New
chwang to Liaoyang and from Lao
yang to the Yalu River. The Russian
generals profess confidence that the
Japanese can make no headway by
frontal attacks while the Russians can
cope with the widest fianking opera
tions the Mikado's men are likely to
undertake.
When these operations begin, say
the Muscovites. Kuropatl1in's counter
strokes will bring down the japanese
scheme of offense like a house of
cards. The continued delay on the
part of the enemy is a great surprise
TO the Russians.

Hospital Reports Prove That Dyspepsia
l. the Forerunner Of Consumption.

Post norton statistics of the big New
York hospitals show that many cases OF
consumption are due to uninterrupted pro-
gress of dyspepsia.
Especially Is this true in cases where the
victim was predisposed to tuberculosis.
Therefore the person who allows dys-
peptic conditions to progress unchecked Is
contrib Ting toward the development Of
the most fatal disease known to mankind.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and the
brain--makes the victim thin, haggard and
sallow. The stomach, Enable to digest
food, cannot supply nourishment. When
other diseases come, they enter unresisted.
