Every farmer knows that
ONE plants grow better than

'ut some plants are weak and
'thers strong.
And that's the way with

md strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
aasy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
f food, but because the food
loes not feed.

There 10 something both inspiring and up
lifting in the thought that the soul is physi-
cally pure and simple essence, and as no sim
pie essence can perish its Immortality arises
not only from the co-essentiality of les prop
critics and substance. but from the apparent
impossibility Of It's being otherwise than what
it 10. What u consoIing thought the simpler
ty of the souls nature insurcs the perpetuity
Of It's existence ana stamps Immortality upon
It's character! Although moral eyii has sunk
the soul beneath It's primitive rank In the scale
of created excellency. there is no cause for
despair that 1t will never be restored TO its
primitive dignity and native grandeur; for IL
the soul while imprisoned in its house OF clay
seeks pardon by faith in the blood of the Lord
Jesus Christ, already it Is freed from the curse
of the law, and it will walk before Him, even
on earth, in the newness Of life. Thus IL sin
blotted out; the life OF holiness Is begun; sick
ness is sanctiled; and death is made the gate
OF life. What change Is this Ii Ia glory be-
gun below The Lord Jesus Christ is God and

swerving and humble believer in the great

RUSSIANS BEGIN ADVANCE
Kuropatkin Orders Aggressive Move
ment of His Armies,
DECLARES 1T IS NOW THEIR TIME

In n Long Message to His Soldiers He
Praises Their Past Efforts and Proph-
esies Coming Victories - Large Re-
Inducements Give Added Strength to
the Cars Already Huge Armies.
st. Petersburg, Russia.-A private
dispatch from Mukden states that the
whole Russian army has begun to ad-
vance. The japanese have been out
m%anoeuvred atBoniaputse, which place
they have evacuated. 1t was occupied
by the Russians, apparently without Sc:
rious fighting.
According to less reliable news the
Russians captured the Shaho and YEN
tails stations after q sharp engage
ment. The japanese centre, consisting
Of the Fifth and Tenth divisions, under
General Nodzu, was compelled to aban-
don its positions and retreat.
Toxic, ~Japan.-It is reliably reported
that the Russians south of the Hun
Riyer have been greatly increased in
numbers, indicating that a counter at
tack is contemplated.
London, Eng.1The new phase Of the
Manchurian campaign that was fore
Swallowed in recent cable dispatches
seems to have begun with the abandon
ment Of General Kuropatkln's defen-
sive tactics and q general advance
against the japanese positions north Of
Liaoyang.
There Is no official confirmation from
either side Of this movement, but indie
pendent stories from several sources
concur in stating that such an advance
has commenced, and the issue of Cen
eral Kuropatkln's stirring address Is
regarded as equivalent to corrobora-
ton. '.a- ...
The criticism most to be regarded
here views General Kuropatkin's al
tered tactics as likely to lead to a COM
paratively early decision. The sugges-
ton is made that General Kuropatkin's
advance was ordered by st. Peters
burg.
This idea is based partly on the COM
mander-in-chief's significant mention
Of Port Arthur, and partly on the fact
that Immediately after the decision to
send a second army to Manchuria he
apparently is about to risk everything
on an attack.
The Japanese, according to a Mukden
telegram, appear to be relying upon
holding their position at Liaoyang and
the hills to the eastward Of Yentai,
which were General Kuroki's late bat
%tleground. They have not yet been
seen acting on the defensive, and the
outcome Of the next few days opera
tons is awaited with eager interest.

The passengers were startled as the
train left Warsaw to see a man jump
suddenly from his seat and stand in
the aisle with a drawn revolver. Be-
fore any one could interfere lie cried
out that he would not be taken alive
and at the same moment began to
shoot. There was a rush for the doors
and there a jam occurred.
Meantime the stranger was continu-

him. A struggle ensued and the man
