Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the conSumPtive needs
most.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ern method of feeding fat to
the conSumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive StomachS.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hyPoPhoS-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

st. Petersburg, May S1.-The Rus
sian admiralty is literally stupefed a
the extent of the disaster suffered b.
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet, anC
its own advices paint the situation il
even worse colors than the Toxic dis
patches.
The Associated Press Vladivostok
dispatch accounts for only two ships
OF the great Russian hotilla - the
cruiser Almaz and the torpedo boat
destroyer Grozny-and the absence of
news about the battleship Navari and
the cruisers Oleg and Aurora, which
are the only fighting ships of any value
not enumerated in the Japanese lists
OF destroyed or captured, and which
have not reached Vladivostok, renders
almost idle any hope that they were
able to shake off the pursuing Japa-
nese cruisers and reach the shelter of
the fortress at Golden Horn.
Russia has agreed to disarm and in
terne the big feet Of colliers and
transports sent to the Chinese coast
when Rojestvensl1y determined to try
and force the Strait of Korea. 1t is be-
lieved here that the admiral did not
want to be hampered by a big convoy
in the sea fight, and the decision to
send the convoy to the rear compelled
Rojestvensky to adopt the shortest
route by way of Tsu Island, as some of
the ships could not carry enough coal
to steam around Japan.
The question OF inaugurating peace |
negotiations is not likely to be opened |
until full reports of the Russian dis
aster have been received. The war
party continues its defiant attitude.
and declares that peace is impossible.
while many Russians who heretofore
have been in favor of peace. but who
are now humiliated by the sting Of the }
defeat Of their navy, are giving their
voice in favor of a continuation of the
war Nevertheless the peace party in
iists on the absolute futility Of pro-
onging the struggle.

tained terrible losses when the AImaz
and Grozny broke through the hostile
line.
OF the Japanese two battleships had
gone down before their eyes, and two
cruisers, their steTns high out of the
water. seemed ready TO plunge fore
most to the bottom of the sea.
The Russian fleet, they say, was
even in a sadder plight. Rojestvens-
ky's flagship, the Kniaz Souvaroff, and
her sister ship, the Bonodino, and the
cruisers Osliabia and Ural were ut
terly destroyed, and when the fog
closed down and hid the scene of bat
tie from sight northward of the speed
ing ships, third great Russian battle
ship, the Alexander III, seemed in sore
distress. but limping northward, put
ting up a valiant fight against throngs
of torpedo boats and still continuing
her attacks on the cruisers of the
Island Empire. Torpedo boats were
also clinging around the other ships
of the fleet like angered wasps, sepa-
rate iotillas darting in again and
again TO launch their weapons.
The Almaz, which arrived at her
anchorage here Monday evening. bears
scars of the battle Her mizzen mast
is shot away and one Of her smoke
stacks is pierced by a cannon shot
But the Grozny, though engaged for
several hours in a running fight at
short range with a large japanese de
stroyer, shows no signs of the fray.
After her commander, Captain An
driffsh, had been wounded and an
officer and three men had been killed,
the Grozny succeeded in sinking her
with lucky placed shot and
reached VladivOstOk without further
adventure yesterday morning.
Excitement beyond description
eized the thronging spectators, who
With frantic 'huzzas" tossed high their
APPS. Citizens embraced each other
nd danced jubilantly upon the pier.
While the crews of the ships in the
arbor Joined in wild cheering.
According to the officers of the Al -
laz, the feet under Rojestvensky met
be Japanese in the Strait of Korea
ear Tsu Island. and the opposing
eets Immediately closed in. Being
ghtly armOred, the Almaz. as had
cen expected by Admiral Rojestvens-
