SYMPATHY FOR KoMURA.

In the illness which has Frustrated
him in this city Baron Komura and his
associates will have the sympathetic
solicitude of the American people. As
plenipotentiaries of the new arrived
power and flushed with the prestige of
victory it was fancied that the Jap
anese ENJOYS might exhibit more or less
of what among ourselves is sometimes
called 'spread-eagleism." Their simple,
dignified conduct at the Portsmouth
conference: their entire freedom from
publicity seeking and flourish since its
adjournment. and the conservative views
expressed as to Japan's future policy
have made an intensely favorable inn
preston upon American sentiment

" Such a NOiSe!''

The mother says to herself sometimes.
FL can hardly endure it, Then a chill
creeps over her as she thinks of the aw-
full silence which falls upon the home
when children are taken away. and she
is glad her children are hardy of body
and lusty of lungs.
When a child does not enjoy noisy
sports and games there Is something
wrong and that something will often be
found to be lack of nutrition adequate
to the needs of youth and growth. The
stomach is weak" digestion is imper-
feet, and 50 the nourishment Of the body
is inadequate.
In such cases DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery works wonders. 1t
changes puny. fretful children into
healthy. happy girls and boys. The
process by which this change is &C
complished is strictly along the lines
marked by Nature. All growth and
strength come from food when it has
been digested, converted into nutrition
and assimilated. Golden Medical Dis
covery" cures diseases of the stomach
and other organs of digestion and uutri-
ton, and 80 enables the body to obtain
without loss or waste the benefit of the
nutrition provided in food. The "Dis-
