expert in an interview printed in the

Pacific ocean
Meanwhile. it is proper to under
stand that the squadron is not composed
exclusively Of battleships. but includes
a number of cruisers as well From a
strategical point Of view. II does not
concern Japan whether the squadron re-
mains in the Atlantic or proceeds to the
Pacific, although for Americans there is
some room to believe that the Atlantic
would be preferable

that the Atlantic feet would visit Asia

Make This According
To The Directions.

What will appear very interesting
to many people here Is the article
taken from a New York dali y paper,
giving simple prescription AS formu-
lated by a noted authority, who claims
that he has found positive remedy
to cure almost any case of backache or
kidney or bladder arrangement, In
the following simple prescription, III
taken before the stage of Bright's
disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, One-half
ounce; Compound KargOn. one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. three
ounces. Shake we'll in a bottle and
take in teaspoO nful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at home
when asked regarding this prescrip-
ton, stated that the ingredients are
all harmless, and can be obtained at a
small cost from any good prescription
pharmacy, or the mixture would be
put up if,asked to do so. He further
stated that while this prescription is
often prescribed in rheumatic Attic
tions with splendid results, he could
see no reason why it would not he
splendid remedy for kidney and urin-
airy troubles and backache, as it has
peculiar action npon the kidney

portant organs and helping them to

sickness and suffering. Those of our
readers who suffer can make no mis-
take in giving 1t trial.
