MIGHT HAVE SAVED IT.
A Lot of Trouble From Too Much Starch
Food.

A little boy Of eight years whose
parents did not feed him on the right
kind of food, was always nervous and
suffered from a weak condition of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and after
the operation the doctor, knowing that
his intestinal digestion was very weak,
put him on Grape-Nuts twice a day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his Father states.
HE has grown to be strong, muscular,
and sleeps soundly, weighs 60 pounds,
and his whole system is in a fine con.
dition of health" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
1t is plain that if he had been put Cd
Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in~his
life, and kept from the use Of foods
that he could not digest, he never
would have had appendicitis. That
disease is caused by undigested food
decaying in the stomach and bowels,
causing irritation and making for the
growth of all kinds of microbes, setting
up a diseased condition which is the
active aus of appendicitis, and this
is more marked with people who do moi
properly digest white bread.
Grape-Nuts is made of the selected
parts of wheat and barley and by the
peculiar processes of the cooking at the
factory, all Of the starch is turned into
sugar ready for immediate digestion
and the more perfect nourishment of
all parts Of the body, particularly the
brain and. nerve centres.

ARMY ENTERS PORT ARTHUR
One Regiment From Each Brigade
Of Japanese March In.
FORT

Wild Lawlessness of Russian Soldiers
Just Prior to the Oficial Surrender
Procession of Mikado's Army Five
Miles Long-Gen. Stoessel Blamed Fol-
Headquarters of the Third Japanese
Army at Port Arthur, via Tientsin.-
The victorious Japanese army formal
" entered Port Arthur. General N0gi
With his staff entered first through the
old town and took his stand in the pub
lie square of the new town. The army
was represented by one regiment from
each brigade.
The procession, which was five miles
long, was three hours passing the sa-
luting base, after which the troops
passed out of the city through the new
town. The correspondents then Wis
tied the captured city for the first
time.
The old town buildings were badly
smashed by shells, but, in the new
town the damage was slight. All the
shipping in the harbor was badly dam
aged by shell fire, the warships being
practically useless, owing to the injur-
les they had sustained by shells.
Proposals for the surrender of Port
Arthur were first made December 20
at a council of war. General Stoessel
| was in favor of surrender, but some of
his general officers were bitterly OPP
posed to it. The regimental officers
and the troops were not consulted.
The first news they had of the sur
render was January / after General
Stoessel had communicated with the
Japanese.
The scenes which followed were dis
graceful. Drunken soldiers filled the
streets and refused to obey their Off
GERS. Many of them destroyed the
guns upon the positions they had de-
Tended and came into the city without
permission.
The infantry loudly protested that
the fortress had been given away,
threw their rifles and ammunition into
the harbOr and proceeded to break into
warehouses and loot and drink vodka
until in a helpless condition.
1t was evident that the surrender
was not necessary, as there were 81
600 effective men in the fortress. The
supply of ammunition was short, but
it was not exhausted. Food was
scarce, but private stores were not
requisitioned by the military.
There is no difficulty in getting good
meals in the city I'VE now from the
stores in private possession. A portion
of the fortress was capable of defense
for months longer. 1t was the opinion
of the non-combatants at Port Arthur
that the surrender was unnecessary,
as the troops were willing and able to
fight to the bitter end.
General Stoessel was much blamed
for what was characterized as a dis
graceful conclusion of a splendid de-
Tense, which ended with the death of
Major-G General K~ondratenko, who was
loved by the soldiers, and was the life
of the defense.
Memorial services were held in honor
of the spirits of the Japanese dead,
upon the plain north of the village, of
Shuishi, a short distance from Port
Arthur. Regiments representing the
entire Japanese army were present.
A shrine was erected on the crest of
a small hill, and the troops formed a
circle around it. General Nogi and his
staff were present. Lunch was served
afterward in the open to all the officers
present. 1t was q splendid SDectacle.

The pivot Of the whole scheme may
be said to be the Atlantic fleet, based
on Gibraltar. That fleet will stretch
one hand to the Mediterranean fleet
and n hand to the Channel fleet. 1t
may also be the fleet ON which both
the Mediterranean and the Channel
fleets will rally and concentrate for
some supreme effort. 1t thus makes
Gibraltar one of the most important
places in the whole empire. Fortunate
ly Gibraltar will now be equal to so
great a destiny, since the breakwater
and dockyard works there are all but
completed. Cromwell, when he sent
Blake into the Mediterranean, is said
to have pointed out to him the supreme
strategic Importance of the Rock. Our
new naval scheme fully recognizes and

Commercial failures in the closing
months of 1904 have showed a decided
decrease from the record of business
mortality at the outset of the interval.
In view of the collapse in security
prices, which have in the past gener-
ally preceded a heavy total of business
failures. the years record has been
light. And this speaks well of the con-
dition of merchants and traders every
where, for the year has certainly been
one to test stability. Estimates of the
year put the capital OF such concerns

Brant was a member of a committee
