PEACE MAKERS.
ALL PREPARATIONS MADE FOX
THE MEETING.
COST UNCLE SAM A BIG SUM.
European and Japanese Journals, the
Press Association and American
caiIies to Be Represented.

Portsmouth, n. H., Aug. 7.-After
a day of activity in the navy yard,
the finishing touches in preparation
for the peace conference were made
late yesterday afternoon, and every
thing is now in readiness, both on the
inside and outside of the large new
naval store building, where the plen-
iDotentiaries are to be received today
and where they are to hold their daily
sessions. The second floor of the
building is to be occupied by the peace
missions. The conference room is in
the center of the building over the en-
trance. Adjoining it on one side is
a suite of three spacious rooms, that
have been assigned to the Japanese
ENJOYS. On the other side Is a re-
ception room dedicated to the repre-
sentatiVes of the United States gov
eminent. Beyond this is suite of
three rooms for the use of the Russian
mission. On either side of corridor
which divides the building are large
dining rooms, where midday luncheon
will be served subsequently to the re-
spective missions, and in the eastern
dining room Admiral Meade, command
ant of the navy yard, will today serve
a breakfast to the ENJOYS, their suite
and about sixty invited guests. Two
fire-proof rooms have been fitted up
for the storage of documents. The
conference room is impOsingly fur
nished. A mammoth table in the
center is surrounded by huge chairs
beautifully upholstered in black leath-
er. On the floor is a costly Persian
rug. At either end of the room are
mahogany tables adapted for clerical
work. The walls of the room are
draped with flags used by the navy
in making the international code sig
nails. There flags relieve the bare
walls in all of the rooms and are the
only decorations. Handsome desks,
chairs and tables make all the rooms
appear in elegant dignity. Persian
rugs are laid upon all the floors. 1t
has cost the United States govern
ment $4,000 to equip the quarters for
the conference. Without the building
all appearances Of newness has been
removed. The borders of the newly
laid cement walk have been sodded
and the gravel walk leading to the
landing 1000 feet has been put in re-
pair. Everything at the landing stage
has been made shipshape.
Every available room in the hoteI
where the missions are to be quar-
tered has been taken. The city is
filled with a small army of newspaper
correspondents representing, in add
ton to the press associations and the
great dailes of the United States
journals in Europe and Japan.
All arrangements for today's exer
cises, including the breakfast at thu
navy yard and the extension of thu
hospitality of the state and nation a
the Portsmouth court house, hav'
been completed. At the conclusion
of the exercises at the court hous

Young Lady Left by Fever in Very Weak

with GratlfyIng Results.
After fever, such as typhoid or scar
let, has run it's full course there remains
the recovery of strength. The tonic that
will most rapidly increase the red COR
puscles in the blood is the one that will
most quickly restore color to the pale
cheeks, strength to the weak muscles,
and elasticity to the sluggish nerves. So
far nothing has ever been produced SUI
perior to DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
this purpose.
Miss Midendorf had been i'll with
typhoid fever for fourteen weeks. She
had a good physician who carried her
safely through the critical stages. When
he left, nothing remained to be done ex-
cept to build up her strength, which was
very feeble, and he gave her some pre-
scriptions for that purpose. Here, how
ever, she met with disappointment.

liams' Pink Pills are the best remedy to
use in all cases of weakness, from what
ever cause the system may be run down.
In cases of debility due to overwork they
minister fresh strength and overcome
nervous symptoms. They are specific
for an@mia or bloodlessness. They are
particularly helpful to girls on the verge
of womanhood. They meet all the re-
quirements of the period known as the
change of life. They correct spring
languor. They strengthen weak diges-
ton and rouse up sluggish organs. No
other tonic combines so many virtues.
All druggists sell them.

dance. for instance, at one of the river
settlements. Of course all the young
men AMI the wimen, too, not to speak
of the older ones, have to be on hand.
To many this means an eight or ten

they come from even a greater dis

''But the fact of there being no road
presents no obstacles to the settler.

about as easy as walking in the sum-

not have to bother with the swamps.
Our families really are content, and I
don't know but that they have good
reason to be. With plenty to eat and
plenty to wear. and nothing particu-
larly to worry about, the life, even
during the cold months. is not bad
one to lead.
I'VE kind of den up for the winter,
like the bears, and don't feel called
upon to dc any particular work, unless
it be to cut fuel, or unless we find
ourselves in need Of exercise. OF
course much of the spare time is
taken UP by charging our clearings,
but there is nothing compulsory
about this, and if we want to lounge
about the house for a week or two in
comfort there is no reason why we
shouldn't do so.

SAVES THE PUPILS TEETH.
Germany Has Dental Clinics for
Schools in the Larger Cities.

The dental statistics gathered in
many European cities have revealed
such an alarming condition of affairs
that Germany. at least, has decided to
adopt combative measures.
In all large towns dental clinics
cave been founded, consisting, as a
rule, Of specially fitted up rooms in
one of the central schools.
Fully qualified dentists are appoint
ed, who devote their whole time to
their duties, but in Stuttgart the work
is done voluntarily by the local den
fists. That such a movement is
necessary can scarcely be doubted
when one learns that of many thous-
ands of boys and girls examined from
the ages of s to Ii only 2 per cent.
had a perfectly healthy set of teeth.
ITO give an idea of the amount of work
done in year at Darmstadt schools
it is necessary to quote the figures Of
1903 During the year 1876 children
were examined and 1861 teeth were
filed, while 1871 were extracted. In
5trassburg 2,6G6 children were ex-
amined, 500 teeth were filled and
1912 were extracted.
Another interesting fact is that 40
per cent Of all teeth examined were
bad The method of work is simple;
the teacher takes his class to the
dentist, who examines each mouth
quickly and marks on the card which
each child has brought with it whether
treatment is necessary. If so the
child must come again on Saturday
