CHILDREN AFFECTED.
By Mothers Food and Drink.

By Mothers Food and Drink,
Many babies have been launched in'
to life with constitutions weakened by
disease taken in with their mothers
milk. Mothers cannot be too careful
as to the food they use while nursing
their babes. The experience of Kan.
sas City mother is a case in point:
II was a great coffee drinker from
a child. and thought could not eat
meal without it. But I found at last
it was doing me harm. For years I
had been troubled with dizziness, spots
before my eyes and pain in my heart,
to which was added, two years ago. a
chronic sour stomach. The baby was
born months ago. and almost from
the beginning, 1t, too, suffered from
sour stomach. She was taking it from
me!
"In my distress consulted a friend
of more experience thar. mine. and she
told me to quit coffee, that coffee did
not make good milk. have since ascer-
tanned that it really dries up the milk.

proved to be the very thing l needed.
1t not only agreed perfectly with baby
and myself. but it increased the flow
of my milk. My husband then quit
coffee and used Postum. quickly got
well of the dyspepsia with which ne
was troubled. 1 no longer suffer from
the dizziness, blind spells, pain in my
heart or sour stomach. Postum has
cured them.
'sNow we all drink Postum from 9y

THERE'S MONEY IN 1T.
Why American Cousulships Are So
Eagerly Sought.

Eagerly Sought.
Never before at the beginning of an
administration has there been such q
rush of applicants for diplomatic and con-
sular places as at present, and never be-
fore have so few of these places been
available, owing partly to the fact that
the President has already promised many
Of them to personal friends and part
" to the policy of retaining in office in
cumbents with good records. Ordinarily,
it Is said there are from ten to a dozen
applicants for each foreign appointment
at the beginning of an administration.
At present there are twenty applicants
for each job.
These positions, especially in the con-
sular service, ere rendered attractive by
the fees for administering oaths, for ac-
knowledging deeds, etc. These fees at
some posts amount to far more than the
salary. H. Clay Evans, our consul gen.
eral to London, receives salary of So
600 per annum; but in 1903 his ''nota-
rial" fees amounted to $1O,36S. Thus he
received a total of more than $4,000.
Consul General Gowdy, at Paris. realiz-
ed, all told, $13,976, $1,000 of which was
salary. Consul Boyle, at Liverpool, re-
ceived $6,S4S in unofficial fees.
Men of wealth among the applicants
are many, though they are not looking
for the money. The occupancy of an off,
cial post, even in the consular service,
gives a social standing abroad it is diff
cult to obtain otherwise. 1t is for this
reason that Americans with social ambi.
ton and wealth to back it up are so
eager to get these appointments.

FIRST PEACE STEP.
RUSSIA SAID TO HAVE GIVEN
OUT NEGATIVE CONDITIONS.
Ne Ccssion of Territory and No In
demnity Is Moscovite Programme
Japan Is Understood, However, 70 BE
Prepared to Demand $500, 100000.

The Associated Press announces
direction of peace actually has been
taken. Russia has made known to
Japan indirectly the negative condi-
tions upon which it may be concluded.
There is no cession of territory and no
indemnity. Japan is left to determine
whether negotiations can be begun up
on that basis.
Rusia's attitude was described as fol
lows by prominent diplomat: The
government is now for peace, but con-
tinues to prepare for war"
Paris advices say that all official in
formation relative to peace is of neg
ative nature at the same time the
official view is that peace is not far
distant. This view is not due to ex-
act information, but is the result of a
settled conviction that peace is the
only logical outcome of Russia's pres
ent predicament.
Japanese official circles are pessi-
mistic concerning peace. This indi-
Gates that the preliminaries have not
made appreciable progress or that Ja-
pan does not intend to interrupt her
successful campaign. 1t is even inti-
mated in high quarter that it makes
no difference what st. Petersburg de-
/, cides relative to asking for peace, as
it will remain for Tokyo to accept or
reject it. Therefore, it is maintained
that Tokyo now holds the key to the
peace question.
Although official information is lack
ing, it is asserted In well-informed
quarters that Japan has permitted
Russia to learn that peace conditions
will be rigorous and will not be re-
sponsive to the'recent sentimental ap-
peal to Japan's magnanimity. In par
ticular it is said that Japan's indem.
nifty figure is $sOO,0OO,O 900, and that the
sum has proved so staggering to Rus
sian diplomacy that it is the principal
obstacle to the peace preliminaries.
Mail advices received from Pekine
are to the effect that high officials OF

chaos the empire must be we'll armed

SOME CURIOUS FINDS.

Money Lost on a Farm Was Located
Inside a Potato.
A Scarborough gentleman was sur
prised recently to find thirty-eight pins
in his brsagfast egg, and most othei
people would have been surprised, too
under the circumstances. There ought
to be a collection of miraculous eggs
somewhere. 1t was only two years
ago since a hen laid an egg at Bed
ford with a penny in it. There IS Nd
doubt at all as to the fact, but the
question, "How did the penny get in
side the egg?' has never been quite
satisfactorily settled.
A comparison puzzle is afforded by
a market gardener, well known al
Spitalfields market, who once lost and
found a half crown under almost in
credible circumstances. He was In
specting his crops when he dropped
the half crown on the ground, and
though he searched long and diligent
", he searched In vain. A year passed
and the incident was being forgotten
when, as he was selecting some potS
toes for the market, Mr.. Smith came
across one Of very curious shape
Cutting it open to discover the cause
of it's eccentricity, the gardener found
inside it the half-crown piece he had
lost twelve months before. The po
tato was seen by hundreds of people
and the truth Of the story is well
vouched for.

dollar wheat is necessary for the
farmers in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas and
Nebraska, to begin growing wheat again
on an extensive SCALE" said James Will
son. Secretary of Agriculture. Our
great wheat fields along the northern
border refuse to grow wheat, and unless
the American farmers change their meth
cd of growing this product there Will be
large increase in the price OF bread
stuffs. The evil day cannot long be
postponed, Notwithstanding the farmers
of the Northwest believe they have soly-
ed the problem by permitting the lands
to lie fallow for one year and growing
crop of wheat every other year. At
present the average production of wheat
to the acre is twelve bushels, while in
Europe the farmers grow thirty. If the
wheat farmers of the great Northwest
expect to grow wheat at profit, they
must rotate their crops"

D,..nDearine whippine.Pos.

Notwithstanding the advocacy now
and then of the rehabilitation of the
whipping post, that form Of punish
ment is losing rather than gaining
grotuiG in civilized countries. 1t Is now
inflicted in England and in only few
of tie continental countries or Europe
In the United States it Is used only
In Delaware and Maryland. And per-
haps it still obtains to some extent in
Australia. Tie punishment is not in
fiicted upon women in England, Del
aware or Maryland.
In England there is an increasing
reluctance on the part of the judges
to infiict the punishment.
A late return shows that this form
of punishment was ordered only in six
teen cases in 1903. Seven of these SEN
tences were passed at the Central
Criminal Court, five by Judge Rentoul
and two by the common sergeant. 1t
is interesting to notice that Mr.. Justice
Wills, Mr.. Justice Lawrence and Mr..
Justice Darling are the only three high
court Judges who ordered the use of
the "cat." Flogging has been practi-
cally discarded in English convict pris-
ons as a mean of prison discipline
and a few years ago bill to extend
the whipping post to a number of Of
feuses not punishable in that manner

BEEF JURY INDlCTS.
Packing Official Accused Of 1nterfe
ing with Witness in Meat Inquiry.


ing with Witness in Meat Inquiry.
Startling action was taken Tuesday
in Chicago by the federal authorities
and grand jury in the beef trust inquiry.
An indictment was returned into court
against Thomas j. Connors, a director
and the general superintendent Of Ar
mour & Co., charging him with tamper-
ing with witnesses who had appeared be-
fore the inquisitorial body. Two hours
later Mr.. Connors was arrested by
deputy United States marshal. He was
taken to the federal headquarters, where
q little later he was released in 5000
bonds.
: 1t was reported about the grand jury
room that another high official narrowly
escaped Indictment on the related but
more serious charge of conspiring TO tam
per with witnesses. His escape was said
to be due to failure to link him definite
ly with the attempt.
In the indictment of Supt Connors it
is charged that he tried to influence the
witness, J. E. Shields of Brooklyn, n.
Y, to withhold from the grand jury GER
tain facts relating to the operat tons cf
the beef trust. Mr.. Shields. who testi-
fled on Monday and who was recalled to
the stand Tuesday, formerly was an em-
ploye of Armour & Co. in the New York
office. 1t was his admissions on the
stand that led to the indictment of the
Chicago man.
The penalty for the offense charged
against Mr.. Connors is fine of $500 or
Imprisonment for three months, or both,
on each count.
The penalty for conspiracy-threaten-
ed for time against another high officer
is fine of $500 to $1,000 or imprison-
ment of SIX months to six years, or both,
on each count. The jury finally decided
not to vote the indictment against the
higher official for conspiracy unless more
conclusive evidence should be submitted.

Gensat.
While the Manchurian railway is en-
ployed to sgpply the main army in its

still partial to the plan of keeping close
to their sea bases and instead of fol-
lowing the Russians some of the military
experts are of the opinion that the jap
anese may relieve the pressure upon Gen.
Linevitch and thus induce him to con-
centrate in the region between Santoupu

But throughout the campaign all the

fattening upon the victories achieved.
