No Fear of Japanese War.

Since the Russian war Japan has
had a long, hard road to travel in
financial affairs, and its credit in the
loan market is practically exhausted
While it may be that war with such
a nation is to be feared there appears
to be no imemdiate necessity of
arming against Japanese aggression
There is. however. immediate neces-
sity for few doses of Hostetters
Stomach Bitters when the appetite
lags, the bowels are costive, the liver
inactive and sleep restless. These
are Natures warnings of impending
sickness. and which has often been
avoided by taking the Bitters prompt
ly. In cases of dyspepsia. indigestion,
constipation, biliousness, nervousness.
sleeplessness, general weakness, fe-
male ills, cramps, diarrhoea and ma
laria the Bitters has proven its merit
thousands of times during the past 50
years. You really ought to keep a
bottle handy. 1t is absolutely pure.

favor the passage of a stringent

the passage and enforcement, without

IL is cheaper to build to maximum
capacity when trade is dull than to
brisk and the price of the commod-
ity you have to sell is high. This
because with maximum capacity
reached you can sell a greater amount
at high prices. Perhaps such line OF
reasoning Is behind the rush which
is in evidence in the matter of SHOW
ing building of reduction works

sible.
