Berlin, March 30.-~Lhe National Kreuz Zeitung publishes a prediction made by the Russian diplomat M. Menchikofi, to the effect that Japan will shortly wage an aggressive war to extend her power in 'the far cast. Ac- cording to M. Menchikoff the prudence of the Japanese will keep them from molesting the possessions of the Unit- el States or of the other great pow- ers. The first object of Japan's attack will be China, Japan's restless ambi- tion will never be satisfied till she seize Holland's possessions in the East Indies. The Japanese, he says, are actively preparing for this war of conquest which their statesmen regarded as an apan's future world supremacy. ARE QUARANTINED. Bank Clerks Victim Scare. Pembroke, Ont., March 30. flovees of the Ottawa, Merchants and Unjon banks are in' a peculiar predica- ment as the result of an alleged case of Smallpox hoarding house. They are quaran tined, and bank clerks from Ottawa and other places have been sent up to fill their positions. broke boarded together in a fashion- able part of the town, about a quar ter of a mile from the post office. The smallpox case was discovered, Mon- day mosming, and none of the clerks, since that time, have heen allowed to leave their homes. The banking busi- ness was practically suspended Mon day, aml clerks were sent to Pem- broke from the surrounding towns. Those in quarantine include JJ. Foley, Ottawa, and T. Benson, captain of the Pembroke hockey team. The quaran- tine, it is expected, will be raised in two weeks. Canadian 106 Years Old. Lempster, N.H., March 30.--William Welch, who is said to be the oldest surviving member of the union army in the civil war and the oldest member of the Masonic order in America, ccle- brated his 106th. birthday at the home, of, his - son. yesterday.

How a Confirmed Dyspeptic De- veloped An Appetite Like a Corn-husker's and Cleaned Out Everything in Sight. The wife of a leading druggist of Des Moines, tells how her brotner was changed from a dyspeptic without ap- petite to a prodigious eater. "My brother, who "is = a lawyer in Chicago, came to visit me and 1 so thin and run down. 1 had aot seen at his appearance. He told me not to for years as a result of chronic dys pepsia. I asked "him what he had don for it, and he said he had done every thing--taken every remedy hi: had ever out number, none of them helped him, 1 asked him if he ever took Stuart's Dyspepsia = Tablets, and he said he hadn't and what was more he wouldn't. He had sworn off taking medicine of any kind, "lI had my husband bring home a box from store and I actually made him take one or two of the tablets af- ter he had eaten, They made him feel so much better that he offered no fur ther objection. He had not taken the one box before he was greatly improv- ed and three or four boxes cured him of ayspepsia, and gave him g wonder- ful appetite, He came i us out of house and home. My, but it did me good to him eat. He gained fifteen pounds before he home, and he writes me that he has not. been troubled since." Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do the work assigned to them. They relieve weak and overburdened stom- achs of their work of digestive action. Their component parts are identical with those of the digestive fluids and secretions of the stomach and they simply take up the grind and carry on the work just the same as a good, strong, healthy stomach would do it. On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are perfectly natural "in their action and effects. They do not canse any unnatural or violent disturbance in the stomach or bowels. They them. selves diowst thé food and supply the system with all the nourishment see with dyspepsia con- maintainee of the body. Stuart's Dysnepsia Tablets, bv thus relieving' the stomach of its work, en- able it to recuperate and reoain its normal health and strength, Nature repairs the woxn and wasted tissues, inst as she and knits the bone of a broken lim§. which is of colirse not used during the process of repair. Stuart's Dysnepsia Tablets are for Botweei Redden's and Crawf Groceries. | Ries is one that does things Its mem- has annexed China.
