Frequent backache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular
and scanty mcnstruation indicate a dis

The question hat troubles women
Is how can n woman who has some fc.

Mrs. Anna Potts, of $40 Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark, writes:
MY Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"During the early part of my married life l
was delicate in health both my husband and
I were very anxious for a child to bless our
home, but | had two miscarTiagcs, and could
not carry a child to maturity. a ncighbor
who had been cured by Lydia l.. Plnkham's
Vegetable Compound advised me to try it. l
did SO and soon felt that | was growing
stronger, my headaches and backaches loft
me, ] had no more bcaring4lown pains, and
felt like n new woman. Within a year |
became the mother of n strong, healthy
child, the joy of our home. Lydia T.. Pink
haia's Vegetable Compound is certainly a
splendid remedy, and | wish every woman
who wants to become a mother would try it."

Vegetable Compound and write to Mrs.
Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. Her advice IS

In the case of the United States against the Har-

Of the company for royalties contracts for

'FORTRESS GIVEN AWAY" ."
No Good Reason for Surrender of
Port arthur.

HEADQUARTERS of the Third Japanese Army at
Port Arthur. jan II. via Tien-Tsin. Jan 16-
The victorious Japanese army yesterday for
mally entered Port Arthur. General Nogi. with
his staff. entered first through the old town and
took his stand in the public square of the new
town. The army represented by one regi-
ment from each brigade. The procession. which
five miles long three hours passing
the salutng base, after which the troops passed
out of the city through the new town.
The correspondents then visited 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 damaged by she'll fire,
the wsrshps seeming practically useless. owing
to the injuries they had sustained from shells.
Proposals for the surrender Of Port Arthur
were first made on December 20 at council Of
war. General Stoessel was in favor of sur
render, but some of his general officers were
bitterly opposed to it. The regimental officers
and the troops not consulted. The first
news they had of the surrender January 1.
after General StoesseI had communicated with
the Japanese.
The scenes following the surrender were dis
graceful. Drunken soldiers filed the streets and
refused to obey their officers. Many Of them
destroyed the guns on the positions they had
defended and came into the city without permis-
sion. 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 81 900 effective men in
the fortress. The supply of ammunition was
short but it was not exhausted. Food was
scarce but private stores were not requisitioued
by the military.
There is difficulty In getting good meals in
the city from the stores in private
possession. A portion of the fortress capa-
BILE of defence 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 Bit
ter end. General StoesSel much blamed for
what was characterized disgraceful conclu-
sion Of splendid defence, which ended with the
death of Major General KOndratchenko, who was
loved by the soldiers and was the life of the de-
fence.
Memorial services were held to-day In honor
of the spirits of the Japanese dead upon the
plain north of the village OF Shuishi. short dis
tanoe from Port Arthur. Regiments represent
ing the entire Japanese army were present
shrine erected the crest of a small hill
and the troops formed a circle around 1t. Gen
eraI Nogi and his staff were present. Luncheon
was served afterward in the open to all the
officers present. 1t was splendid spectacle.
