THE INQUIRY.
Into North Sea Incident
Resumes Sitting.
Russians Try to Prove Weather
Dark and foggy.
And That the Firing on Trawlers Was
Purely Accidental.

Paris, Jan. 26.-The International
Commission to inquire into the North
sea incident resumed its sittings. to-
day, with diminished interest owing to
| the many fishermen witnesses repeat
| ing practically the same story.
Capt. Whelpton of the trawler Mino.
| described the terrific cannonade of the
! Russian warships. Twelve shots
| struck the Mino. one going through her
galley and another cutting her rigging.
| Counsel for Russia by cross-examin-
alton of the witnesses, endeavored to
prove that the weather was SO foggy
and dark that the witnesses were un-
able to tell whether the Japanese tor
pedo boats were present. Baron Taube
| the Pussian judicial adviser. asked:
"If the night was dark and foggy it
| is Impossible for you to affirm that no
| foreign boats were among your feet"
Answer: Il don't believe it. We GER
tainly would have seen them"
Baron Taube: "Then you cannot af-
| firm it positively"
Answer: Il can only give my be-
lief
William Smith. wounded sailor of
the trawler Crane. told a moving story
which produced an impre ssion. He dis
cribed the formidable effect of the Rus
sian fire which killed the captain of the
Crane. tore off the mates head, killed
a sailor and finally sank the trawler
after everyone on board except one
| man had been killed or wounded.
Admiral FOUrner (Frarce) compl-
! nented Smith on his courageous atti-
| tude. during the firing.
a witness named Green said that fol-
| lowing the cannonade he temporarily
| mistOok the Zane COR Il torpedo boat
and 50 remarked to the engineer of his
vessel, but he aool detected his mis-
| take.
Counsel for Russia asked how many
| others mistook the Crane for a torpedo
| boat.
The witness replied that he alone had
| made the mistake, being blinded by the
searchlights.
Smirke. another witness. said he saw
a trawler attempting tc cross the Rus
| sian fire.
Smirkes captain said: Look; it is a
| torpedo boat"
Smirke replied: mo it is a trawler."
They went to the vessels assistance
| and took the dead and dying from her

YOU CAN INTEREST HIM.
Any Man Over Fifty.

You can interest any man over fifty
Years of age in anything that will make
him feel better. because while he may
not as yet have any positive organic
disease he no longer feels the buOyancy
and vigOr of twenty-five nor the free
com from aches and pains he enjoyed
in earlier years, and he very naturally
examines with interest any proposition
looking to the Improvement and pre-
servatiOn of his health.
He will notice among other things
that the stomach Of fifty is a very diff
ferent one from the stomach he pos
sessed at twenty-five. That greatest
care must be exercised as to what is
eaten and how much of it, and even
with the best of care, there will be in
creasing digestive weakness with ad
yancing years.
A proposition to perfect or improve
the digestion and assimilation of food
is one which interests not only every
man Of fifty but every man. woman
and child of any dge. because the whole
secret of coed health. good blood

which Will promptly and thoroughly d.

constituent of the body are entirely the
product of digestion, and no medicine
or health" food can possibly create
pure blood or restore shaky nerves,
when weak stomach is replenishing
the daily wear and tear of the body
from mass of fermenting half-digest-
ed food.
No. the stomach itself wants help and
in no roundabout way, either: it
wants direct. unmistakable assistance.
such as is given by one or two Stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
These tablets cure stomach trouble
because their use gives the stomach
chance to rest and recuperate; one of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contains di-
gestive elements sufficient to digest
5000 grains of ordinary food such as
bread, meat. eggs. etc.
The plan OF dieting is simply another
name for starvation, and the use Of
prepared foods ard new tangled break
fast foods simply makes matters worse.
as any dyspeptic who has tried them
knows
As DR.. Eennett SAYS. the only reason

Tablets are not universally used by
everybody who is troubled in any way
with poor digestion is because many
people seem to think that because
medicine is advertised or is sold in
