Japanese government has been
throughout actuated by principles OF
moderation and impartiality, and has
demanded of the Russian government
no more than the recognition OF
principle which has been repeatedly
voluntarily announced by Russia her
self. While the Russian government
persisently refused to accede thereto,
and while unduly delaying on the one
hand their replies whenever they had
to make one, they had on the other
hand augmented their military and
naval preparations. In fact, large
Russian force was on the Corean from
tier. The Japanese government, while
animated with a sincere desire for
peace, had been exercising the utmost
degree of patience, but was reluc-
family compelled by the action OF Rus
STA to give up all hopes of reconcilia-
ton and break off the negotiations.

and to-day Japan moved her ships and
took unresisted possession OF certain
merchant vessels, including the Shilka
and Manchuria. Two other Russian
vessels were seized and escorted to
Sasebo, Japan.

PROFIT

The matter of feed is OF
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. : Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped,
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

To Change Method.

A bill was offered simultaneously In
the two houses OF the General Assembly
proposing to change the method OF coll
iecting taxes or the remuneration Of the
treasurers therefor, The bill Is founded
on the theory that the last lone-thlrd Of
the taxes assessed are the most difficult
to collect. or that It is comparatively
easy to collect two-thirds Of the taxes
and very hard to- collect what remains
.thereafter. The bill proposes to make
the commission OF treasurers three per
cent, IN to a certain stipulated amount
collected, and the commission Is Increased
to ten per cent. for the last ana most
difficult collections. The idea OF the bill
is TO make 1t worth thetreasurer's exer-
tions to collect fully the taxes assessed,
and even though he is paid a liberal com-
mission on the last installment the State
would be more than Justified In this by
the large increase In revenue II would
derive. i.
