JAPANESE LAWLESSNES

Japan, since her war with Russia,
has followed a by no means unprece-
denied or exceptional course in suffer-
ing from a marked increase of do
mestic lawlessness. Disbanded troops,
particularly those which were recruited
from the coolie class, returned camp
followers and many others have devel-
oped a disregard for law which is caus-
ing much real trouble and widespread
concern. Cases of assault and battery
are becoming alarmingly common.
Crimes resulting from Indulgence in
debauchery. formerly almost unknown.
are now numerous. Highway robber-
les, even in the outskirts of large cities
are of not infreQuent occurrence. Black
mail is practiced There are reports
of open attacks upon dwelling houses
by mobs, while strikes and labor riots
attain menacing proportions and are
marked with criminal and sometimes
deadly violence Along the coasts and
on the Inland sea piracy is practiced,
cargo vessels have been looted and
women have been abducted from pas
senger ships.
This state of affairs is, as we have
said, not unnatural sequence of the
war. Its development is greatly fav-
ored by the inadequacy of the Japanese
police system. In the cities the police
do not patrol the streets, but remain
stationary at certain points. Where
night watchmen do go about the
streets they carry wooden clappers
with which they keep up an incessant
racket, which, of course warns evil
doors of their approach and makes de-
lection of crime all but impossible.
Whenever a mob gathers the police
seem to be afraid of it, and trv to
AVOID 1t, instead of dispensing it. Nor

Terrible Liquor Craving.
How Orrine Destroys all Desire for
Whiskey and Beer.

The terrible craving for liquor is a symp-
tom of disea'e and to overcome 1t. the dis
ease itself should be treated in a scientific
way When one has used whiskey, beer or
other stimulants for long time, the nerve
cells have become accustomed to the effect OF
the stimulants and demand liquor in order
10 perform their duties. II the nerve cells
are properly treated. the craving for liquor
will be destroyed.
1t is in this way that Orrine cures alcohol
ism by supplying to the nerve cells the
strength needed, thus destroying the desire
FOR liquor. 1t eradicates every particle of
the terrible liquor craving, imparts new
strength and vigor to the whole system and
restores the general health. Treatise on

Pills After Sufferer Had
DOctOred for Years

The tonic treatment for Indigestion is
having remarkable success in curing
obstinate cases of that distressing NAL
ady and deserves attention from every
sufferer. Its principle Is that remedies
for indigestion that digest the food for
the stomach give relief for only short
time. ultimately they unfit tine stom-
ach to do its own proper work, because
they make its already weak power still
weaker by dlsuse, while the remedy that
strengthens the stomach makes it more
and more capable of digesting the food
for itself AMI this benefit lasts. A rem
edy that is tonic not only for the stom-
ach but for the blood aud nerves as we'll

THE OLD AND NEW WAY.
Some Important Facts Which May
Prove Helpful.

Thirty years ago old fashioned cod
liver oil had to be forced down a pa
TENTS throat. Invalids couldn't take
it, and children wouldn't. But the
doctors prescribed it, and it had to be
taken by force. Yet it cured people
where enough could be taken into the
system, for it has ever heen the great :
est of all tissue builders and general
reconstructors known to medicine.
We are now anxious to have every
one know that Vinol is q new form Of
this very old and valuable remedy,
containing in a concentrated form, ali
the medicinal elements of cod liver
oil, actually taken from fresh Gods
livers, but by an extractive and con-
centrating process it is made without
oil or grease, and it Is as delicious to
the taste as fresh orange.
Vinol does not upset the stomach
like old d-fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsions; its strengthening and
healing properties are remarkable,
and both doctors and patients are de-
light d with it's action.
Many wonderful cures right here in
Skowhegan have been effected by it's
use, and we ask all of our customers
to try Vinol on our guarantee to re-
turn money, every time it fails to
make rich, red blood, increase the ap-
petite, cure stomach troubles, give
strength and renewed vitality to the
aged, run down, tired and debilitated,
or cure chronic colds, hacking coughs
or bronchitis. Sold and recommend :
