Cheatham and President Mcster, of the
New Orleans Cottpn Exchange, ho visited
Secretary Wilson this afternoon and pre
Fcntcd a request that the Department of
Agriculture publish an entirely new report

What Liquid Sunshine Does
Cures the Most Rebellious Diseases When All Other
What Liquid Sunshine Is
. Liquid Sunshine is the new and wonderful, successful, concentrated liglit treatment re
cently, discovered, after years of experiment, experience and scientific laboratory study.
It is practically crystallized Sunlight that positively destroys disease germs and focuses
the invigorating effects and potent chemical power of the sun's rays on enfeebled por
tions of the human system, no matter how deeply hidden, penetrating, as its name implies,
through the entire body, reaching and curing the most rebellious, obstinate and long-standing
maladies.
t
How Liquid Sunshine Acts
The body is made up of vital cells that in a healthy person are continuall' wearing
out and being renewed. Your health depends on these cells being kept in a normal and
healthy condition. The almost magical action of Liquid Sunshine upon the cells of the hu
man body is like the stimulating influence of sunlight on plants, renewing and invigorating
every psirt AYlien the nerves improperly feed the life-giving cells, the all-powerful
Liquid Sunshine treatment liberates and increases nerve energy and thus animates the tor
pid cells, giving them the needed incentive for renewed and normal action and augment
ing the power of absorption thus enabling them to accept the nutrition supplied by the
blood. .
Liquid Sunshine Cures Nature's Way
Liquid Sunshine is the common-sense, natural method of building up injured and de
stroyed organs, and is the only logical treatment of the day indorsed by clergymen of all
denominations, approved by the best plrysieians in Europe and America, who are sending
us their wives, patients and families to be cured, and this aproval is confirmed by unso
licited testimonials of hundreds of the thankful, whose health has been restored by Liquid
Sunshine

NOT PEACE AT -ANY PRICE
"WHte Expected to Guard Interests of
Russia at Conference.
. ST- PETERSBURG. July 15. Tho
Sviet. which .sometimes interprets the
views of the military party, today lndle,
nantiy rejects the interpretation put upon
M. Wlttele appointment abroad, namely,
that It is, .equivalent to the acceptance ot
any peace terms Japan may choose to
offer except leveling the fortifications of
Vladivostok.'
Tile paper -calls attention to Emperor
Nicholas- marginal notes on. Various ad
dresses, expressing his determination to
continue the war, and especially refers .to
his telegram to Lieutenant-General Llnc
vitch, June 14, which the commander-in-chief
read to the army, and which has
Just been published here. In 'which the
.Emperor pledges himself-to do everything
possible to lighten the heavy task of the
army, and expresses confidence that all
obstacles would finally be" overcome, and
the war would end happily1 for the Rus
sian army, as proof that' the Emperor has
not Intention to make peace 'at any price.
As further evidence, the Sviet draws at
tention to the unusual note -attached to
the official announcement of M. "Witte's
appointment:
"Being intimately acquainted with tho
situation, M. "Witte Trill undoubtedly be
equal to the high and" important mission
with which the Emperor has- graciously
charged .him, and know how to protect tbo
Interests of Russia."
The Slovo thinks that the desire of tho
powers', especially Great Britain, in view
of Emperor "Wllllam'-s attitude -toward
Franc, to see Russia rehabilitated In
order to preserve thcshalanpe jof power id
Europe, should become a" strong diplo
matic weapon In the hands cf trie Russian
plenipotentiaries for the restoration prac

The Bourse Gazette says" thatlnasmuch
as Japan appreciates M. "Witters sincere
desire for peace, the ground at the outset
is cleared of distrust and suspicion. At
the same time, the paper adds, Japan
will find that, while M. "Witte will be
reasonable, ho will make no disgraceful
or humiliating concessions.

ously. The southern half of the ieCand is

The natives express great delight at the
outcome and are apparently very glad to
get rid of the Russians. Two delegations

Fully per cent of the inhabitants ot
Koreakovsk, which was burned to the

General Llnlevitch with his staff person

ST. PETERSBURG. July 16.-l:23 A. il.)
China's possible role in the Russo-Japanese
peace negotiations is attracting
more attention. The Foreign Offlcc Inti
mates that China's notification that she
would decline, unless assent was previ
ously given to her. sending a representa
tive to the peace conference, to consider
the "Washington treaty binding if Its pro
visions affecting Chinese territory, where
regarded as prejudicial, was sent to all
the powers in the form of a circular note.
Russia, according to the Foreign Office,
sent no reply to Pekin, but It may be
significant that some papers which occa
sionally have official Inspiration, like
Prince Ouktomskya Vicdornostl. look with
complaisance, if not satisfaction, on the
prospect that China may try to have a
voice in the terms of peace. Their argu
ment is that any action on China's part
will necessarily be la the direction of re
stricting Japan's war spirit, and that the
other powers, especially the United States,
In support. of the principles of the Chi
nese territorial integrity, will be com
pelled to a greater or less extent to sup
port the Chinese claims.

LOSES BY VICTORY
Kitchener's Scalp Will
Taken by-Curzon.
BUT INDIA WILL BE GAINER
Enemies 3Iade in . Carrying Ills
Scheme for Reorganizing Indian
Army Now Combine to
Take General's Scalp.
LQNDON, July 15. (Special.) The
victory scored by Lord Kitchener, re
markable as it was in its completeness
and reformatory correctives of the In
dian army, may yet prove the politi
cal undoing of that great soldier and
there is no effort on anybody's part to
deny the fact that without political
power no man in .Great Britain can
maintain a position secured by sheer
force of his talents and personal
strength. True enougi), the great re
organization scheme will be worked
out just as Kitchener proposed it; and
in later years may be termed the salva
tion of the Indian empire, but the mau
himself Is tottering on the throne
that he built for himself with the work
of his own hands.
His most powerful enemy today is
Lord Curzoo, India's Viceroy, who.e
influence is perhaps second to it one, and
who, were he to choose England in
stead of India as the sphere of hU
activity, could make and unmake min
istries. That ho was defeated In his
own camp, so to speak, by Lord Kitrin
cner, was due to the very fact that the
conflict took place and was decided
very far away from home, many weeks
before tho mother country had the
slightest inkling of the comlnsr of the
now famous report on "the rotten sys
tem. It Is now known that all of
Simla knew of the impending sensa
tion, but Lord Curson was evidently too
proud to seek aid In London, or have
the members of his following speak for
mm.
Now, however, that the whole un
savory scandal Is known to the pub
lic, the loser in the fight believes him
self at liberty to strike at the victor
and has beep Joined In this attempt by
Lord George Hamilton, ex-Secretary
for India. Not that any denial Is made
of the right of Kitchener's position. It
Is conceded that the officials should
have seen and remedied what the sol
dlcrs saw and compelled them to rem
edy. But their grievance Is that Lord
Kitchener did not proceed by a method
of mutual understanding, but simply
gave officialdom a fair period within
which to awaken to its duty and, this
term having expired, acted independ
cntly.
Kitchener's programme includes the
following main features: Nine army di
visions for India In peace or war, and
a year's supplies; an increase- of the
field army from 80,000 to 140,000 men;
the provision of mobilization, equip
ment, transport and stores; the re
grouping of troops so as to bring them
nearer the northwestern frontier; the
institution of manufacturing depart
ments employing 150,000 to- 20,903
w.orkmen, including cordite, gun, rifle
anu norseshoe and leather. factories.
