NARROWS THE ISSUE TO
 DOLLARS AND CENTS.

Japan having obtained all that she needed and longed for a nation now narrows down the issue to a question of dollars and cents, yet refuses for peace sake to waive her demand. Russia, on the contrary. has conceded freely and fully everything she could give consistently with her sense of national honor and dig nity. Hence. what to Japan is but matter of money, Is to Russia a point of honor
 ITO withdraw the cash claim Is, there- fore immeasurably easier to Japan than 1t would be for Russia to allow It. Rus sla has suffered reverses owing to her own lack of organization; her unpreparedness and her internal disorders. but she is still a mighty and unconquered nation whose people will enthusiastically up- hold their representatives in their firm resolve to keep the national escutcheon immaculate Whatever else may be af- frmed or denied, of them them, that Is true. They alone are the judges of what can and cannot be done in Russia's name. If, therefore, the efforts of American friends are to be crowned with success. if the labors of the conference are not to end In smoke, and if the effusion of blood in the far east is to be terminated, it behooves Japan to make frank declar- ation that she withdraws once for all and without reserve, her demand to have her war costs paid in any shape or form"
 When shown the above statement competent Japanese authority declined to make any reply.
 ''We are not talking" said he. We are not fighting this battle in the news papers When all Is over, we will give our side of the story to the world

ATTEMPTS AT JUGGLING
 WILL DO NO GOOD.

In view of the known Russian attitude on the other eight points Russia be- lieves that Japans insistence on indem- nty Is the only thing that will make peace impossible. Officials declare that at- tempts at word juggling such as call ing indemnity by some other name, or attempting to collect indemnity under the guise of other payments will avail nothing. Russia, they say, will not con clude a peace treaty at Portsmouth which includes the payment of indemnity OF other financial contribution.
 Russia Is ready. however. to make a reasonable and proper payment for the maintenance of the Russian prisoners in the hands of the Japanese. This has been the attitude of the foreign office since the four points In dispute were referred to St. Petersburg from Portsmouth, and it Is the true expression of Russian of flcials and public opinion Since the very beginning of the discussion here on Japan's original terms there has been ab- solutely nothing to suggest that Rus sia could or would pay indemnity. Each day has sharpened the conclusion that such a payment is impossible and today the universal opinion from the highest to the lowest is that Japan's insistance on indemnity dooms the Portsmouth negotiations to- failure. Russias recog- nizes the serious conditions of the coun- try but they declare these conditions will never force the payment of indrmnits which would most seriously menace thu life of the state.

WILL NEVER CONSENT
 TO PAYMENT OF INDEMNITY.

St. Petersburg, August 24, a. m.-The Associated Press has the best of reasons and authority for declaring again with increased emphasis that Russia will never consent to the payment of an indemnity to Japan Such payment would so grave ly menace the vital interests of the state. as to make this article in the Japa- nese terms utterly impossible of accept ance.
 Furthermore, the Associated Press has the same reasons and authority for the declaration that if Japan withdrew her indemnity. peace would be practically as sured. as the Russian attitude on the other three points, including the cession of Sakhalin, does not preclude the pos sibility of reaching a satisfactory set tlement in these points. Indemnity is the crux of the whole matter. If this ques- tion can be arranged, it Is believed here that all other questions on which there has been a divergence of opinion will practically settle themselves,

When Sickness Comes to the
Little Ones
1t Is the Mother Who Chiefly
Suffers.

She suffers even more than tho child
who happens to be sick.
Her sympathy is deeper than that of
any other member of the family.
The mothers look forward with dread
TO the torrid heat of summer, thinking
of their children and the many liabilities
to disease that are before them.
Spring and summer are sure to bring
ailments, especially among the little
folks.
1tdoes not take q mother very long to
discover that Peruna is the best friend
she has in times of illness among the
children.
The doctors may come and go with
their different theories and constant
change of remedies.
The doctor Of years ago gave entirely
different remedies than he does today.
Each year finds some change in his
prescriptions and in the drugs he relies
upon.
A Multitude of Mothers
BITe discovered that Peruna is the
standby, and that in all the ailments
of spring and summer to which the
children are subjected, Peruna is the
remedy that wilIInost quickly relieve.
Whether it Is spring fever or stomach
arrangement, whether it is Indigestion
or bowel disease, catarrhal congestion
OF tho mucous surfaces is the cause.
Perunn quickly relieves this condition
of the mucous membranes. Its opera
ton is prompt, the children do not dis
like TO take the medicine, it has no dele
FERROUS effects in any part Of the body.
1t simple removes the cause of the
disagreeable symptoms and restores the
health.
Peruna is not physic. Peruna is not
nervine nor a narcotic. Peruna does
not produce any drug habit, however
long 1T may be taken. Peruna Is not a
stimulant.
Perdna is specific remedy for all
catarrhal ailments of winter and sum-
mer, acute or chronic.
The mothers all over the United States
are the best friends that Pcruna has.
The Mothers Hold Pe-ru-na in High
Esteem,
Not only because it has cured them OF
their various ailments, but because it
always rescues the children from the
throes and grasp of catarrhal diseases.
We have in our files bushels of testi-
moninls from mothers whose children
have been cured by Peruna. However,
the large majority of mothers who use
Peruna, we never hear from.
But we do hear from great number
of mothers who are so overjoyed at
some special good they have received
from Peruna that they cannot restrain
their enthusiasm. They are anxious to
share these benefits with other mothers.

The Benefit Which the Children of
the United States Have Received
From Pe-ru-na Can Never Be
Put Into Words.

The chronic ailments it has prevented,
the suffering it has mitigated, will
never be fully recorded.
Butat least this much can be said that
the coming generation owes great
debt to Peruna, for it is in the tender
years of youth that slight ailments are
liable to develop into lasting disease,
thus blasting the whole career of the
individual.
The mothers who are bringing up their
children to-day to believe in Poruna
are doing great work for humanity.
These children brought up to believe
in Pcruna from the start, will, when
they become heads of families them
selves, use Peruna with unquestioning
faith.
