Washington. Jan 4.-HOw absolute
is the supremacy OF the battleship in
naval warfare and how completely It's
superiority over sll other types OF war
vessels has been demonstrated in the
war in the Far East. Is told in an ofii-
cial statement issued at the navy de-
partment which is likely to arouse In
ternational interest because OF It's
frankness and because It was prepared
by member Of the general board Oh
the navy. OF which Admiral Dewey Is
president. and represents the views or
that board. as well as OF the secretary
of the navy. Although the Russian de-
stroyers in Port Arthur numbered "a,
the statement says that not one has
scored a hit thus far in the war, and
that of the many torpedo boat attacks
delivered by the japanese nearly all
met with complete lack oil success al
though made as usual under the cover
of darkness and against an enemy at
anchor and whose position was
known" In the opinion Of high OFF,
cials OF the government the sentiment
which has gained some credence in this
country to the effect that the value OF
battleships has been discredited by the
results in the Far East is one which
will prove a menace unless 1t is cor

commenting officially on the achieve

A Tonic for Old People
Adds Years to Life, Puts Life Into
Years-Dr. Chase's Blood and Nerve
Food, the Great Blood and Flesh
Maker, Brain and Nerve Tonic

Keeps you from growing old by
keeping up your vital forces. When
the human machinery begins to wear
out, people grow old and go into de-
cline and decay, the blood becomes
thin and watery, the circulation poor,
and the nerve forces shattered and
weak, showing that certain essential
clements of life are being exhausted
from the blood and nerves. The ex-
haustion usually begins with cold and
numb hands and feet. The stomach,
bowels and bladder lose their power,
often becoming partially, If not
wholly, paralyzed. You grow weak
and feeble and your vital forces so
low that you begin to see that your
health is being undermined. DR..
Chase's Blood and Nerve Food in
creases the action of the heart and
the circulation of the blood, and
builds up the system by replacing the
same substances to the blood and
nerves that have been worn out.
