careful living and what We call prevent
i've medicine.
VICTORIES OF MODERN MEDICAL.
SCIENCE
We mean BY preventive medicine that
bv proper treatment disordered system
can he put IN the best possible condition
to resist disease The most important
channel for carrying disease is the blood.
In old age the channels of our body. the
veins and arteries, close up. they become
encrusted with deposits which prevent
the free flow OF blood. What we re-
ouire to live long aud healthy lives IS
good pure blood and free flow OF it to
all important organs. Recent discover
les have proved that it's not only import
ant TO have pure red corpuScles bat also
plenty of white corpuscleS, as these lat
ter act as the scxvergers of the body.
II diseased germs enter the system. it 10
the duty OF these white blood-cells to
destroy the noxiouS germs. Thus, there
is Z continual strife going on inside our
BODY between our bodyguard and the
outside enemy. DR.. z. V Pierce, the
chief medical director of the Invaiids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, OF Buffalo.
y. Y. early recognized the Importance
OF the blood In the human economy and
its relation TO health and long life, and
set about TO find IN nature some plants
that woald stimulate the blood-cells and
rejuveuate the whole system. After
years OF experimenting, DIR. Pierce dis
covered a medicine made entirely OF
roots and herbs, without the use of aico-
hol, that made rich red blood, and this
medicine has been given 10 the public
and can be obtained from any dealer
in medicines IN this country. Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery as
sists the stomach and other organs in
digesting the food and taking from il
such elements as are necessary 10 feed
| the blood. This assimilation helps in
the oxidation OF the red blood corpus
cles, the liver is stimulated into greater
activity and In consequence the poisons
| in the system are eliminated, the heart
gets the right kind of blood and the per
| son feels invigorated and stronger. As
issue-builder II Is far preferable TO cod
| liver oil because II gives the blood and
the tissues the food elements they re-
quire and maintains a persons equilib-
rum by enabling him TO eat, retain,
digest and aSsimilate nutritious food. II
overcomes gastric irritabihty and syulp-
tens of indigestion. Because OF the
good effects of DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery upon nutrition the tissues
are built up and the symptoms of catsrrh,
threatened consumption, weakness, or
debility, such as fever, night sweats,
headaches, etc, are diSpelled.

THERE MAY BIB WAR"
Russian Journals Assume 9 Decidedly
Pessimistic Attitude.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 2.-The foreign
dispatches received here yesterday af-
ternoon are reflected today IN more
pess'mistic editorials. The Novoe
Vremya begins its leader with
''There is no war today; tomorrow
there may be war.
The paper rather fatalistically di-
rects attention to the fact that wars
marked the opening OF the 18th, 18th
and 10th centuries.
The Novoe Vremya nevertheless still
processes faith in a peaceful settlement,
saying: "We believe Japan will not
place Russia in a position where to
yield would appear to- be renuncia-
tion of the defense of her vital inter
ests in the far east. Russia does not
desire war, but nobody believes Rusiss
will permit the Japanese or other ma
tions to execute a diplomatic dance
upon Russia's peaceful disposition. In
firm consciousness of her power Russia
will await events

RUSSIA WILL SAVE HEBREWS.
Government Fully Realizes the PROBABLE
Ity of Massacre at KIshinef.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Simon Wolfe,
of this city, who has been active in his
endeayors to induce the United States
government to make representations to
Russia looking to the protection of the
Jews of Kishinef, had an interview
with President Roosevelt today. At
its conclusion Mr.. Wolfe said that at
the request of the president himself,
he could not discuss the interview for
publication.
1t is known, however, that Mr..
Wolfe was informed that, prior to his
presentation Of the matter to the state
department.. the president had directed
the United States consuls in Rusisa to
inform this government if there was
any likelihood of repetition of the
Kishinef massacre of last spring. The
replies to that inquiry thus far re-
ceived have been reassuring. More
over, they indicate that the Russian
government is fully alive to the reports
of possible trouble at Kishinef on jan
uary z. In view of that fact, it is as
sumed that the Russian authorities will
take, if indeed they. have not already
taken, setps to prevent a recurrence of
the massacres.

China Acting Hostile.

Paris, Jan. 2.-The Chez Foo corre-
spondent of the Paris edition of the
New York Herald says that Colonel
Artimeff, who is in close touch with
Admiral Alexieff, Russian yiceroy in
the Far East, declares the situation is
most critical. The Japanese, he says,
apparently want war, and the Chinese,
especially Yuan Shi Kai, commander
in chief of the Chinese army and navy,
are assuming hostile attitude. Dis
turbances in Manchuria are due, he
says, to the support the Chinese gov
ernment is giving the bandits.

China is Blamed By Russia.

Pekin, Jan. 1.--Huy Ufen, director
of the imperial railroad, has returned
from Port Arthur, where he has been
interviewing Admiral Alexieff as to
why Russia has not evacuated Man
churia. The Russian commander, it is
reported, told him that Russia is disap-
pionted at the failure Of China to listen
to proposals that would mean an amic-
able settlement Of every point at issue.
Alexieff, it is understood, warned the
director that China is being deceived
by Japan into an unfriendly attitude
that is unwise.

CRY IS STUNNED.
Chicago Is cOmpIstsIv Overcome by Grief
for the Stricken.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-For the first time
since Chicago has possessed bells TO
peal, whistles to shrek and horns to
blow, the old year was allowed silently
TO take its place in history, and the
new year permitted to come in with no
evidence Of joy at its birth. All Chi
cago mourned for the 600 persons who
died in the fire, panic and suffocation
at the Iroquis theater.
In an official proclamation: !ss;:sSd. yes
terday afternoon Mayor Carter II. Har-
rison suggested that the usual New
Years eve celebration be omitted.
The idea found a ready response in the
hearts Of the people and the mayors
words seemed only to give utterance to
the universal desire.
The list Of the dead continues ss it
was given last night, in the neighbor-
hood Of 800. A widely accepted esti-
mate is that 564 is the number Of the
dead. This number will likely be in
creased, as there are persons in the
hospitals who will probably die. 1t
is believed, however, that the total
will not exceed goo. Including the
dead, missing and injured the total
number of casualties is approximately
1000. There were about $500 spec
tators and actors in the theater at the
time of the fire.
In the excitement following the ca
lamity, many persons were reported
missing who have since returned
home. No report Of these returns has
been made to the police, and their
names still swell the list of the miss
ing. When the names of the dead
who are still to be identified have been
subtracted from the list of the missing,
it is probable that the extent Of the
catastrophe will be fully revealed.

DAY, MORE OR LESS.

Crossing the international Date Line
In the Pacific Ocean.
Few Incidents of trip to the Phil
ipplne Islands, which so many Ameri-
cans now have occasion to make, are
more interesting than the crossing Of
the international date line, that imag-
mary boundary where, In going west
ward, day is dropped from the calan-
dar, and in going eastward one is AIDED.
A California Congressman and his wife
happened to reach it, on the outward
trip, at midnight of July 3, so that they
woke up to find the next morning the
9TH, and that they had lost the ma
tional holiday for the first time in
their lives. To have a September %
for two days in succession on their
return would, on grounds of sentiment,
be an insufficient compensation.
The teachers who go out on the
transports to the Philippines usually
arrange elaborate entertainments to
signalize the date line. One of their
number is often dressed up as Nep-
tune, and other characters follow in a
procession around the deck. The fes.
tivities are made as fancIful as the
resources and ingenuity of the party
permit. Sailors ON merchantmen as
we'll as passengers on the fast mail
steamers are accustomed to observe
the day with some celebration.
One of the old governors of Massa-
chusetts, on being asked to speak at a
State normal school which he was Wis
lting, submitted this conundrum;
Would person who had Travelled

early direction be year older than
the records in the family Bible show
ed? If not, why notP" The governor
explained that such a traveller would
actually have lived one day more fol
each trip than the calendar showed as
having passed.
In practice, the length Of the TRIP
around the world is such as to discour
age most people from adding to theiI
days by this roundabout process. Trav
elers between New York and Chicago
are constantly having days of twenty
three or of twenty-five hours, accord
ing to the direction in which they are
going.
Like the boundaries Of our standard
time-belts on this continent the inter
national date line has been so drawn
as to occasion the least possible incon
yenience, 1t deviates from the one
hundred and eightleth meridian enough
to leave all the islands as well as eacl
continent wholly on one side or tht
other.
