INSPIRED DREAD IN ENEMY
Russians Feared Troops Of NogI, After
They Had Captured "lmprea-
nable" Port Arthur.

1t often happens that the reputation
of a successful general and his men
has a great effect in winning other
Battles. Such was the case with Ba.
ron Nogi and the third Japanese army.
which he commanded. This daring
and relentless officer led the famous
thanking movements on the Russian
right at Mukden. Says Mr.. Stanley
Washburn in "Nogi:"
To the privates OF the Siberian
steppes and the peasants drafted from
the valleys Of the Volga and the far-ofr
Neva, this man Nogi was the incarna-
ton Of fury, the demon OF war. His
men were pictured by camp fires at
night as devils Of blood and fire, who
would stop at nothing, who eagerly
sought death in their efforts to reach q
hand-to-hand encounter with their foes.
Again and again the story of 203 Meter
Hill, where the Japanese sacrificed 49,
900 men in order to gain an observa-
ton station, was told in the Russian
ranks. The soldiers told one another
also how the japanese infantry, in one
assault, exhausted and with ammuni-
ton spent, refused to retreat, and re.

noe Promptly Corrected
q Bad Indigo Sfion.

Fortunate is the one who can eat
anything" without suffering the tor
lures of dyspepsia, but as few are so
fortunate, care should be taken in the
matter of diet. Eating slowly, masti-
eating the food thoroughly and taking
a short walk after the heasy meal of
the day will do much towards assisting
digestion. Any grown-up person ought
to know the peculiar foods that do not
agree, and these should be avoided.
When these common-sense aids fail,
the next thing to do is to take a mild
digestive tonic with laxative proper
ties, and there is none better than DR.
CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin. It contains
the greatest of all aids to digestion,
good pepsin. 1t has other ingredients
that act mildly on the bowels, which
together form a combination for the
relief of dyspepsia or indigestion that
Is unsurpassed.
Its action is to tone and strengthen
the stomach and bowel muscles so
that they can again do their work nat
urally without outside aid, and when
that happy moment comes all medi.
cine can be dispensed with. 1t is the

MAKING OVER OLD FRIENDS
Much Time Wasted in Effort to Do
What Probably No One Ever
Really Succeeded In.

81 remember how, once in my life.
wasted untold energy trying to
make over my dearest friends" writes
David Grayson in the American Maya
zine. There was Harriet, for exam
pie, dear, serious, practical Harriet. I
used to be fretted by the way she was
forever trying to clip my wings-I
suppose to keep me close to the quiet
and friendly and unadventurous roost!
We come by such a long road, some
times, to the acceptance Of our near
est friends for exactly what they are.
Because we are so fond Of them we
try to make them over to suit some
curious ideal Of perfection Of our own
until one day we suddenly laugh
aloud at our own absurdity (knowing
that they are probably trying as hard
to reconstruct US as we are to recon-
struct themD and therefore we try no
more to change them, we Just love 'em
and enjoy 'em:"

Russian army was that Nogi himself
would be thrown against them.
When at last the attack came, there
could be no doubt of where and how
Nogi was striking. At the first point
OF contact. the veterans of Port Ar
thur, who thought fighting in the open
was nothing after storming the grisly
heights Of the beleaguered fortress, ap-
peared suddenly, without warning, on
the Russian flank and well toward the
rear. Their first assault crumpled up
the Russian defense like paper. With
characteristic Japanese subtility their
officers had taught them the battle
cries In the Russian language, and
they advanced, screaming between
their banzais, I'VE are Nogi's men
from Port Arthur" The instant this
fear-inspiring cry was heard on the
Russian flank, the battle was lost. The
spirit OF despair spread like a prairie
fire, and soon the whole great army
was In retreat, not the retreat OF sheer
panic, but the stubborn withdrawal
OF men who knew that victory was i'm
possible.-Youths Companion.

Yeast the Best Medicine for soIIs.

One of the most efficient cures for
a boil is common yeast--about one
third of a compressed yeast cake dis
solved in a glass of water and taken
once or twice a day.
Besides this, the bowels should be
kept open and the food changed.
There is no one best local treatment,
but Dr. d. Macfarlan of Philadelphia
gives some sound common sense ad-
vice. The boil should not be lanced
until it has come to head" AS
soon as 1t begins to develop it should
be poulticed with warm bread and
milk to which small quantity of
yeast has been added. The poultice
should not be too hot and should be
changed at least three times a day.
AS soon as the tissues begin to soften
and the abscess is well defined it
should be lanced in the form of an X
and the core removed at the first
dressing, If possible.
The wound should be syringed and
swabbed with a solution of potassium
mercuric-iodide, one part in 1000 OF
watsr, and wet dressing OF the same
solution should be applied until the
sore has healed

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation Of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make q
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura Oint-
ment into the parting with a bit Of
soft flannel held over the end Of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura ONT
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is well to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month Is generally
sufficient for this special treatment

Marvellous Woman.

Seated in the bakery the other
morning. we saw our wife coming up
Green lane with both hands full of
parcels. for she had been shopping on
the Main street.
Our wife had on her new spotted
veil, and, as she drew near, we saw
that her face under the same was go
ing through strange and dreadful con-
tortions.
Thinking that some white SLAYER
might have struck her with a knock
out needle. we rushed out to our wife
In wild alarm.
"My DEAR" we cried, what on earth
are you twisting your face about like
that for?"
Our wife showed US her two full
hands and said simply: I'm trying to

Americans In London.

The good American does not feel q
stranger over here, and We regard
him as one OF our own family. But
why does he come? Not altogether be-
cause the call OF a common heritage
impels him, not entirely drawn by the
attractions, commercial, artistic, So
cial and natural, OF London and Eng.
land. He comes chiefly. perhaps, in
obedience to the historic sense which
is innate in good Americans. Wher-
ever the historic sense may best be
satisfied-in Rome, Athens, Paris, Ma
drid or OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the
American Is found. He may win his
satisfaction In frenzied furry. with
guidebooks and binoculars, only half
digesting the glories that he scamps.
That is the defeat OF his quality, the
consequences of the habits OF life
which America has thrust upon it's
sons But the historic sense Is there,
and, even unconsciously. your good
American is its obedient slave.-Lop

exposition from fund collected by

and, like its historical prototype, will
be situated on the sea. The building
will not be used to house exhibits.

and industry.
Dr. Carl Jacobsen, Denmark's great
est art patron, just before his death
confided to friend that he intended
to create Danish Versailles, and the
publication Of the plan has led to the
determination to carry out his ideas
as a memorial Of his services to the
nation. The large sum to make the
plan a success will be available from
the Carlsberg fund, which was insti-

mated many millions for the encour-

Denmark. The Versailles, as planned
by Dr. Jacobsen, will be erected in

The Herald, st. Petersburg, Russia,
says: The speech of the king Of
Sweden to the farmers was only
thanks for political progress among
large circles of the population and.
therefore, directly served the purpose
of national politics. But it is evident
that no psychologist occupied a seat
in the Swedish cabinet. The cabinet
proved to be unable to grasp the in
stincts Of the masses. Far better did
the king perceive the psychological
moment. He understood that at such
a moment he could not offer the PEG
pie stones but bread. At any rate, by
his attitude the king has done his
dynasty and his country great serv-
ice."
