CRUSADE OF w. c. T. U.
A War to be Waged Against Patent
Medicines Containing Alcoholic
Make Sellers of Such Goods Subject
to Fine, Imprisonment or Both.

State Senator Charles L. Brown or
Philadelphia has introduced into the
legislature of Pennsylvania a bill pre-
pared by counsel for the w. c. T. L.,
regulating the sale of alcoholic patent
medicines. The bill provides that no
person shall sell or offer for sale any
patent of proprietary medicine which
contains alcohol, and which is intended
for internal use, except upon the per-
sonal prescription of a regularly reg
istered physician, naming specifically
the particular medicine prescribed.
Similar measures have been intro
duced in the legislatures of other
states. and we under stand that the W.
c. T. L. is going to wage a systematic
war against these preparations.
This campaign will not affect Ma
gees Emulsion, as it is absolutely

FRENCH COM EMIT.
Confidence Shaken In View of Rus
slams Recent Reverses.

Doris March 19-The Russian defeats
eliminating with Gen. kuropatllin's re-
coll have completely shaken French Off
cial and public opinion concerning Rus
sia's ability to successfully make head
against the complications.
The first view that the Russian revcrs-
eS were part of a strategic plan is now
entirely abandoned and all comment
turns upon Russia's accommodating mis-
fortunes.
The recognized Russian organ, the
Echo de Paris. says:
"kuropatkin follows the path of Alex
Jeff. Stoessel. Orloff. Stark, Grippenberg
and long list of others in various stages
of investi.a ton and disgrace, and IL dis
patch announcing that Capt. Clado has
been relieved of all functions appears to
emphasize the condition of Russia's mill
tary liberalization
The Figaro says Kuropatkin was the
victim of over prudence and lack of
dacity
Military critics point out that Gen.
Iinevitch did not graduate from the
school of cadets or the military academy.
but began his service as a volunteer and
Il private. While a subordinate officer
during the Russo-TurkiSh war. Linevitch
first met Kuropatkn. then a captain. The
latter represents the student soldier. while
Linevitch represents the man from the
ranks.
The peace prospects. although recently
considered bright, now seem to have dis
appeared.
The officials say this is due mainly to
Japan's insistence that Russia shall sue
for peace. whereas Russia's pride pre-
vents her from taking the initiative.
Therefore it is believed that the war
will be indefinitely prolonged with the
prospect of a steady series of Japanese
successes above AIukden.
Japans approach to Siberia is consid-
cred to be one of the mOmentous epochs
of the war and as marking the first jap
arese possession of Asatic territory hith
ertO held by Il European power.
The effect of Japans advance to Har-
hin will be to control the trans Siberian
railroad and the entire sweep of eastern
Siberia, including NladivoStOk.
1t is said that this possession of Rus
sian territory may prove an important
factor in support of Japan's claim for
4 money indemnity.
