For man seldom thinks with more
earnestness of anything than he
does of his dinner-Samuel John
son.
If people would only think little
more earnestly about what they eat,
it would be infinitely better for their
health and welfare.
Those who think about their food
are generally users of Egg-O-Sec.
Discriminating food buyers find that
it is wholesome, nourishing and ap-
petizing. 1t furnishes all the best
essential food elements. It is rich
in the nutritive qualities of the
whole wheat grain, and its delicious
fruit favored flakes make it wei
come at every meal.
Think little about your food,
discard meats and heavy greasy
foods. Eat more Egg-O-See and
you will be stronger of body, clearer
of brain and richer in purse.

Opinion I'm st. Petersburg Is That

Toxic, Feb. S.-A report is pub

correspondents of the local press N
firming the reports that the Russian
grand dukes are convinced that no
good or glory can came to the Russian
arms by a continuation of the war IN
the far east, and are bringing pressure
to bear to secure a cessation Of hos
~tilities.
The plan of the ducal party is said
to be to use influence first with the
powers to get them to offer to mediate
and then to approach the car and en-
deavor by arguments and petitions to
have him to 1ecede from his policy OF
fighting the war out to the bitter end.
At the foreign Office, where a con-
irmation Of the report was sought,
word was given out that nothing OH
cial was known, and that the only IN
timation received of a possible cessa-
ton of the war was that contained in
the press dispatches.

ON ROCKS At MUSQUODOBOIT
Ocean Steamer Damara Wrecked,
and Many May Be Lost.
Disaster Occurred when the --er-
mOmeter Was Ten below,
With a blizzard Raging.

Halifax. n. s., Feb. 8.-During a rag
ing gale and binding snow storm
which has been sweeping the Nova
Scotia coast, the ocean steamer DAM
ara, of the Furness line, ran on the
rocks at MusquodobOit, 80 miles east
of Halifax, and is believed to nave
foundered with the loss CT many lives.
The first officer of the ship with Is
of the crew escaped in n Of the life
boats, and landed at Pleasant Point,
after a terrific struggle with wind aid
sea. Capt. Gorst, master of the DaEl-
ara. four passengers and the rest "
the steamers crew left the vessel in
another lifeboat. They nave not been
heard of since, and it is feared they
have persisted. The occupants of the
boat which reached the shore were ut
terly exhausted, and many of them
were badly froSt-bitten. They had a
narrowing experience, battling in the
darkness for hours in the open boat
against tempestuOus seas on a treacher-
Gus coast, with the thermometer ten
below zero and an arctic blizzard rag
ing. They landed on shore some
time during the day, and reached he
telegraph office at Musqudoboit harbor
in the evening, whence they wired the
first news of the disaster to the agents
of the Furness line at Halifax, to
which port the Damara was bound.
1t is believed that the steamer must
have ~foundered quickly, and small hope
is entertained by the survivors of the
wreck that the captain and other oc-
cupants of the missing lifebOat could
have successfully withstood the ex-
IRENE rigor of the weather prevailing
on this coast for the many hours which
have passed.
The wind last night was offshore,
and if the missing boat has not already
swamped it has been driven seaward
many miles and is now probably adrift
on the Atlantic in the worst weather
of the season.
Tugs were dispatched from this har-
Dor to search for the boat and to locate
tie hull of the Damara.

More Chaos and Lack of Definite

London Feb. 8.-Never for 80 years

ment.
.'There is more chaos and a greater
lack of definite object in the present
war Office than there has ever been be
fore
In these remarkable words "A Gen
eral Officer of Forty Years Service
begins. in q letter to Saturdays
Standard, a startling indictment OF the
present army system. after the accom-
plishment of the Esher reforms SO
warmly eulogized by the prime minis
ter at Glasgow.
Anticipating the retort that the ex-
listing defenselessness is due to the
changes made by the Esher scheme
and is only temporary, "A General OF
Forty Years Service" declares that, SO
far from these defects being tempo
rary, they are likely to become perma-
nent unless some protest is made.
"A General officer" then summarizes
the result of Mr.. Arnold-Foster's ad-
ministration of the war office, closing
with the following assertions:
Instead If trying to improve the
militia and volunteers the present adj
ministrltion is reducing them in num-
bers lust at a moment when we can
not afford the loss of a single man
trained, even somewhat imperfectly,
to the use of the rifle.

moment, with the army in its present
chaotic state, a foreign power landing,

Wants a Teachers Training School.

State Superintendent of Educa-
ton Whitfield has issued a circular
letter, addressed to the people Of
the State, in which he makes a
strong plea for a teachers training
school, saying that he is convinced
that the work of the public schools
of the State has been greatly retard-
ed because of the lack Of such an in.
stitution. Among other things, he
says:
Mississippi is spending more money
for the education of her children than
for all other purposes combined. Is
it not the highest economy to have
those who invest this money spec.
cially trained for the work? Can we
afford, without a trial, to set ourselves
in opposition to the opinion and set.
tied conviction of almost the entire
civilized world on this question, when
the conviction is founded on years OF
experience? All CT the great thinkers
on the subject of education are a unit
on this question.
Speaking of the benefits to be de-
rived from the establishment Of
such a school, Mr.. Whitfield says:
1t is true that it would be some
years before any considerable num-
Der of the teachers Of the country
schools would be trained for their
work in the school, but after the
schools first session. several teachers
would go back to each of the counties
and their work would Immediately at
tract the attention of the patrons anC
the other teachers would see that ii
they did not measure up to the stand
ard set by them that their services
would not be in demand, and, as a re-
suit, they would either go into other
work, or begin to prepare themselves
for better work. Each county needs
the example of the model schools that
would be conducted by these profes'
sionally-trained teachers.
