A SAFE DIET E.ULE.

How shall one determine. then, how
 much food to eat? Too much mystery has been thrown about this subject. Let your sensations decide. It must be kept in mind that the entire function of digestion and assimilation is carried on without conscious supervision or con currence. It should be entirely unfelt and unknown, excepting by the feeling Of bien- -etre which accompanies and fol- lows it's normal accomplishment Sati- ety is bad. It implies sensation of fitness in the region of the stomach. and that means that too much food has been taken. The exact correspondence, In healthy animal, between the appe- tite and the amount of food required is extraordinary. As u rule, the,meal, un- less eaten very slowly, should cease be- fore the appetite Is entirely satisfied, because a little time is required for the outlying organs and tissues to feel the effects of the food that has been inges- ted. If too little has been taken, 1t is easy enough to make it up at the next meal, and the appetite will be only the better and the food more grateful.
 No one was ever sorry for having vol-i untarily eaten too little, while millions every day repent having eaten too much. It has been said that the great lesson homeopathy taught the world was this: that, whereas physicians had been in the habit of giving the patient the largest dose he could stand, they have been led to sec that their purpose was better subserved by giving him the smallest dose that would produce the desired effect. And so it is with food. Instead of eating, as most people unfor- tunately do. as much as they can they should eat the smallest amount that will keep them in good health.-Century.

 virulent attack of typhoid fever. The senator had not been well for some weeks. but had been confined to his bed only during the past fifteen days.
 From the early course of the disease there was no evidence as to the intense severity of the infection and the out look at first seemed bright. Since Sun day the 7th the progress of the fever be- came more marked there being grad ual rise in the temperature from day to day and by Wednesday the evidences os a severe toxic condition were such as to make the physicians in attendance anxious as to the ultimate outcome, though. counting upon some of MT. Hannas indomitable will they contin- ued to be hopeful.
 ''The early inability to retain nour- ishment was fnally overcome, and the case seemed to be progressing more tavorably when on Friday last, in the afternoon the senator had a severe chill, a most unusual occurrence in the course of typhoid fever. Following this his temperature rose rapidly, reaching 105 that night and the evidences of pro- found toxemia were marked During the last days of Senator Hanna's ill., he was able to retain the nourishment given and responded in way little short of marvellous to every treatment which was resorted to, rallying prompt ly from a series of collapses which at intervals followed the chill of Friday. Saturday had been such a favorable day that his physicians took courage and even then hoped for a favorable outcome. The change for the worse came early this morning. and was fol- lowed by gradual failure of his strength which already had been over- taxed by the severity of his illness. His wonderful recuperative power was such that though the end had been expected at almost any time during the early hours of Monday morning he chung te- naciously to life until late this after noon when he succumbed.'

only of carpets and tables, but of beds. In shops and factories all classes work from dawn till dark for one-tenth of the wages paid in America. Many thorough artist in metals, in porcelain, or in fabrics, earn from 30 to 50 cents a day. Ricksha men and engine-driyers get about 50 a day, while the men who drag the drays, stevedores, and laborers get third as much. The scale of living is in proportion, in fact, no traveller has dared to describe the destitution
 which is well-nigh universal. Formerly the laborer went naked to his work, but laws have been passed compelling a certian amount of clothing to be worn
 Fruit and eggs can be had by those who

 growing demand for better living is uni-
 yersal. When the western nations
 broke through the crust and compelled the orientals to open their territory to 3outside traffic, China sulked and India wept, but Japan responded readily, and entered into the game of world politics heartily The result has been felt all
 along the line, particularly in wages,
 which have advanced and are still ad-
 vancing.
 Corea and Manchuria are fertile re- gions with scanty population, and if open to Japanese enterprise would re- lieve the situation for some time to come. but when they see Manchuria
 closed and Corea threatened, the grip which has so long been tightening around them strikes panic in the Japa- nese, and they are unit for war. The government Is more conservative than the people, for the hardship and danger are more apparent to the man who must
 borrow money, buy ships and provision armies, than to the soldier and the citizen. No doubt Japan would make a great fight. She has an advantage on the start. for her navy is on the spot, and is much larger than the portion of the Russian navy stationed in the Pa ciflc. She has gallant army, well off1cered and splendidly drilled, with a
 rank and file made up of as brave men as ever lived, men whose religion is 1 loyalty to their country and devotion to their emperor. But in the elements
 that win in the long run there is no
 comparison. Where will it end? What
 will it lead to?''-R. L. Fulton in Let

LITTLE REAL LIGHT ON WAR
(continued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page.) military or maya operations of Japan except as spectators.
 At a meeting of the bankers. news paper proprietors and commercial men
 held in Tokio to-day. 1t was resolved to support the government, irrespective of party lines, so as to prevent domestic affairs from distracting the nation from the prosecution of the war. Those present at the meeting approved the proposed plan of curtailing the domestic administrative expenses and applying the amount thus saved to the war fund.
 It was decided to support the army and navy heartily and also devise plan for the relief of disabled soldiers and sail- sors. The meeting also agreed to send a letter of congratulation to Vice Ad- niral Togo.
 A detailed report of his battle at Port Arthur has not been received from Vice
 Admiral Togo by the navy department, an the public is as yet, without the full particulars of the engagement. A let ter from one of the men who partici- pated in the naval fight says that the torpedo attack succeeded through a
 clever feint. The majority of the ves- sels comprising the torpedo fotilla
 maneuvred in front of the Russian line and held it's attention while the rest
 of the torpedo boats worked around to the rear and got close to the enemy be- fore being discovered Then they fired their destructive missiles and scurried away from range as quickly as possi ble.
 ! No further news of the Russian Vlad- 1 ivostok squadron has been received
 here It is thought to have returned to the port of Vladivostok in preference to risking a fight or exhausting it's fuel.
 Enormous military activity continues
 but the government carefully conceals 1 it's plans and does not indicate the date
 of any movements. Although every
 moment of delay enables the Russians
 to become better prepared for the con- l fiict, the Japanese apparently are un-
 concerned and confident. They fully
 realize that the limited capacity of the ] trans-Siberian railway the distance of
 the Russians from their base of SUD- plies and the lack of communication by
 sea sets limitations on the proposed ac-
 complishments of Russia in Manchuria
 and Siberia. They feel that no danger attaches in that quarter, and are await ing the completion of Japan's naval pro- | orarn1n.
