CHINA READY FOR FLEET.
Amoy, China, Oct. J7. Prepara-
tlons are now complete for the great
reception to be given to the American
fleet upon Its arrival at Amoy two
days' hence. Attempts have been made
by Chinese agitators tQ create the im
pression among the populace that the
purpose of the fleet's visit is to seise
Amoy and make it the basis of opera
tions in the coming war with Japan.
The reports have been, given Uttle cre
dence and- the Chinese at large will
join in welcoming the Americans.
Several of the agitators who tried to
manufacture anti-American sentiment
have been arrested by the Chinese of
ficials and severely puniahed, each re
ceiving 1500 blows on the bare back.
This treatment has effectually stopped
the agitation.
The Chinese officials are more than
ever determined to make '; the , visit
memorable in view of the drawing
closer of the friendly bonds between
America ad China. They regard it
as a great chance for showing China's
appreciation of the keen Interest taken
by America in Chinese affairs and the
desire on the part of America to solve
the present eastern questions, and at
the same time elevate China, . '
Two triumphal arches have been
erected, one costing 35,000 taels about
$28,000. Expense has not been spared
on the decorations and the providing
of entertainment for the visitors.
It is expected that the fleet will ar
rive at Amoy Thursday, when it will
be received by Prince Pulan, repre
senting the royal family; the viceroy
of Fuklen, the governor of the prov
ince, the admiral and the commander
in chief of the forces, the taotal oi
Amoy, taotal Mak and other minor oN
flc'lals. ' '' ' ' " ,''
The fleet will be entertained with
feasts, fireworks, theatricals, visits to
the ancient temples, baseball and row
ing events,' for which two silver cups
each valued at 12600, have been pre
sented. The city will be elaborately
decorated and the visit will be perma
nently commemorated by the opening
of the new road from the sea to the
parade ground, the renovation of many
temples and the construction thereto
of new roads, along which bamboos
will be planted, and they will be dec
orated with Chinese lanterns during
the visit of the fleet. Spacious mat
sheds, and two large mat shed thea
tnrn have beon specially erected, all
lighted with electricity.

The Ounce of Prevention.
Every, day in consequence of no
treatment, . or at the wrong kind of
treatment, people are. drifting into
conditions of chronic, Invalidism. The
proper kind of treatment, of "course,
depends upon the cause of the trouble.
Where wrong habits are to blame, the
logical treatment is the correction of
such habits. But when, as is often
the case, anatomical maladjustments,
by weakening the resisting powers of
the body,, predispose to disease, the
proper treatment Is the adjustment of
the misplaced tissues. ' In such cases,
it is plain to be seen that no treat
ment is preferable to the taking of
drugs, because these not only do not
remove the cause, but, if persisted in,
still further derange the "system by
producing a deleterious effect upon
the digestive organs and the nerves.
The early detection and correction of
slight anatomical lesions which the
osteopath by careful training Is alone
fitted to accomplish, would dfttn pre
vent a world of suffering. "And here
in lies the great field of healing the
prevention of disease. The, ounce of
prevention consists in getting rid, in
Its Inclpiency, of tha predisposing
cause the lesion which is ; almost
sure to lead to evil consequences. To
prevent a disease Is of far more value
to the patient than to cure it The
value la even In a greater ratio than
