ENFORCED ARMISTICE

negotiations, the weather Is enforcing an

are impossible at the present time and the
situation will probably be unchanged for the
next fortnight or three weeks.
The rains throughout Manchuria have
been unusually heavy and prolonged this
summer The country is now a swamp and
the roads are so soft that attempts to move
artillery and heavy transports would be
out of the question. There were many
heavy rains in June and July, and the rainy
season began in earnest about the middle OF
July. During the following three weeks
there wds'a downpour almost daily. The
valleys east of the railway particularly are
inundated and the streams are swollen,
making the movements of carts very slow
and difficult.
japanese Prepared for Advance.
The Japanese army has fully prepared for
a general advance before the rains begin
and probably will give battle quickly with
it's whole strength as soon as the country
is sufficiently dry, in the event that the
peace negotiations fail
Great reserves of supplies have been &C
cumulated by the japanese at the front
and at MuKden, Tishling and other base
depotS.
The army is in better condition than ever
before The health of the troops through
out the summer has been kept at a high
standard and the percentage of sickness
had been far below that of the same period
last year.
The army's energies have been devoted to
transporting munitions, building bridges,
making roads and unceasing target prac-
tice by the artillery and infantry when the
weather permitted. From the sound Of fir
ing within the japanese lines for many days
it was thought that battle was progress
ing.
Whatever opinion the Japanese military
staff entertain regarding the probabilities
of peace, it has made preparations to con-
tinue the war.
Reported Russian Withdrawal.
SEOUL, August 19.-It is rumored that
the Russians in the northern part of Korea
are withdrawing. The local food supply has
been affected by the rains, and Is meager
for the population, the sea route being in
the hands of the japanese, and the bridges
over the Tumen river broken.
1t is not expected that there will be a
battle south of the Tumen. The Japanese
army Is confident and the weather is i'm

marks about future wars that read
very entertainingly now. He said:
mo matter what the outcome of the
struggle just beginning between my
country and Russia. the great Often
sive and defensive of the Orient of the
future will lie in navies. Once the
land rights of the different govern
ments here are settled, the armies in
my opinion will sink back to small
proportions and be maintained on just
about the same basis as is that of the
United States.
But there will be a great advance
in naval work and the construction of
ships. It will soon be possible for
shipyards to be in operation here, and
the navies be built here rather than
abroad. We Lave all the raw ma
terials close at hand, and we have the
engineers and mechanics developing
who will equal, feel, the best found
in the West.

Orient will extend from the Red Sea
to Boring Sea, and will have an enor-
nous coast line to cover and protect,

Looks to Navy Of Japan to Safeguard
His Victories.

| His Victories.
| This Is an unusual and extraordi-
rary picture of Oyama, field marshal
of Japan. 1t was taken in 1894, just
after the great Japanese general mad
made his first capture Of Port Arthur
an event he doubtless little thought
he would be called upon to repeat ten
years later.
Oyama is quite a philosopher about
the manner in which his pictures get
into the public press and the many
curious stories printed Of his life. VI
this he recently said to an American
writer who was visiting him in Japan;
Variety Of Stories.

How to Earn Sound Sleep.

All doctors are not so careful OF
the welfare of their patients as they
might be. Here is story of one who
went to the limit. He is the proprie-
tor of famous health resort not far
from ---. When he receives pa
tient for treatment he says:
Nov, want it understood that I'M
less you do exactly as | say, there is
no use of your staying"
This rule sometimes requires him to
be very harsh, but he never hesitates.
He acts on the theory that he can bet
ter afford to offend a single patient
and lose him that to have that pa
tent so back home and tell his friends
DR.. So-and-So had done him no good,
relates the Washington Star.
Not long ago well-known clergy
man went to this resort for treatment.
The doctor looked him over upon his
arrival and said:
while you are here you must take
long walks every day."
But l can't take walks" replied
the parson. Il haven't done any walk
ing for years. My heart won't stand
it
They argued the question quite
warmly. AS the clergyman and doc
tor were good friends, the latter was
more lenient than usual. However,
he bided his time. The next after
noon the physician said to the clergy
man:
Its a nice day. would like you
to go horseback riding with me-"
Riding they went. When they were
about eight miles from the sanitarium
the physician said: "Oh, doctor, won't
you get me that flower by the road
side? l don't like to leave this
hcrse."
AS soon as the clergyman was on
the ground the doctor galloped off
with both horses. and the clergyman
was compelled to walk back to the
sanitarium. Upon his arrived he was
very angry, and was for packing up
and leaving at once. There was no
train that night, so he was forced to
stay a few hours longer. The next
morning he came down radiant and
good natured.
Doctor" said he, 81 was pretty
sore at you last night, but I forgive
everything. | have had the first good
sleep have enjoyed in months. Here
after I'll obey your order implicitly"

average prices of breadstuffs advanced

the community by these advances.

that advance in the average price OF

An Extra Good Appetite.

A good appetite is a symptom or
good health. An extra good appetite
is sometimes a symptom of constltu-
tional disturbance somewhere. A SAM
ple letter sent to the Questions and
Answers" column of prominent
health journal was something like
this:
Il am troubled with pimples, not to
a great extent, but still very annoying
They appear principally on the fore
head. but occasionally on other places
I often feel languid, and tire easily
and cannot gain flesh, although | have
an extra good appetite. Still | AM
not sick, and have not been i'll bed for
a day in my life. Age, nineteen years.
Will you kindly advise me what you
think would remove these pimples?"
There is little doubt but that the
extra good appetite" alluded to af-
fords the key to the situation. The d.
gestive organs have more than they
can take care Of and consequently do
not properly take care of anything fur
nished. There will be frequent head
aches. skin disorders and alternate con-
stipation and diarrhea with such per-
sons. Pimples are natural result of
such depraved blood conditions.
with many people the habit OF
hearty eating is continued when the
warm spring days come. Food which
was appropriate when the thermomet-
or was at zero is continued in the
sam, quality and quantity when the
thermometer rises to ninety degrees
in the sun, and averages above sixty
