WILL PROTECT TIE PASS
Military Officials Are speeuIatIns on How Long It Will Be Before Rus sian Army Is Carried to To-
 klo as Prisoners.

St. Petersburg March 10.-(3:05 a. m.)-- St. Petersburg this morning knows little more of the outcome of the battle of Mukden than 1t knew Wednesday night, and little more of the fate of General Kuropatkin's broken army
 It is not even known whether the rail- road has been cut and communication de- stroyed, though it is believed the re- ported destruction of the line by Gener- al Okus army refers to the damage in- f1icted on Wednesday. which was not serious though traffic was twice inter rupted. It Is evident, however, that the Japanese are pressing closer this indis- pensible line of retirement. Their shells occasionally cut the wires of the tele- graph lines paralleling the railroad and civilian linemen are displaying no less bravery than their soldier associates by climbing poles and replacing the wires under fire.
 Japs Have Reached the Hun.
 The most important news received from Russian sources is the Associated Press information that the Japanese have al- ready reached the Hun river. Flu Pass IS only twelve miles east of Mukden. and well westward of General Line vitch's line of retreat. Whether the ex- treme Russian left has already succeed ed in retiring behind the Hun river and moved down the north bank of that stream to join hands with General Kuro- patkin's main force Is not stated. but it is extremely probable. that unless the Russians are able to defend the crossing at Flu Pass, General Rennenkampffs corps, and perhaps additional forces, will be cut off and have to shift for them selves in the mountainous region, north of Suhan, against expeditionary forces of Japanese which are reported from Chi nese sources to be racing toward Tie Pass. The censor allows no words to pass, but it was stated here yesterday that General Kuropatkin had been for sometime assembling force of reserves at Tie Pass and Harbin with this event. uality in view to defend the pass and positions until he can make or fight his way back.

mind. Ricarlton at last proposed a
compromise.
He said that he would take no share
of the bird that we had already
doomed, and he would let us have the
first dozen eggs that his chicken

honor of the famous Japanese general

satisfactory, for. although Of course !

According to a report made = the

rector Of the bureau Office for examin-

has published a statement relating 10
the articles most frequently adulter-
ated According to this statement,
$40 samples were examined in 1903
and ! 1863 in 1904. This number did
not include ZIG samples of milk. which
were found TO contain a very high per-
centage of dirt.
II was found that apricots contained
sulphurous acid; effervescent lemon
AIDES did not contain trace Of pure
fruit juices; butter contained too little
fat and too much water; so-called bak-
ing powder consisted of oleomargar-
inc egg noodles contained no yolk Of
eggs, or at least very small quantities;
huekleberry juice was spoiled com
pletely; raspberry juice was greatly
diluted. and some samples contained
glucose and coal-tar dyestuffs; mince-
meat contained sulphurous acid;
ground mace contained -four, ground
toasted bread, Bombay mace and nut
meg; marmalades were mixed glu-
cose and colored with coal-tar dyes;
milk was watered, skinned and often
very dirty; pepper contained lime,
sand and a good deal of the shell;
sausages contained flour, boracic acid
and coloring matter; preserving salts
contained sulphurous, boracic, iourie
and benzoic acids, etc.
The report complains of the indif.
ference shown by the masses regard

DO you desire to develop yourself to the
fullest extent OF body and mind that Ma
ture has bestowed upon the fortunate
ones? Possibly the fire of your life is
gradually dying out. No one is aware OF
this weakness until it is manifested by an
illness of some sort. Then it becomes
necessary in order to regain your health to
use a remedy or employ a physician, who
can accomplish this most needed of all de-
sires-good health. DO you know that in
every human being there are germs which,
under certain conditions, produce the dis
eases from which mankind suffers? You

germs be destroyed or killed, so that our
health may be regained % Ia order to ac-
