SEATTLE, Wash.. April 25. It is be

the one at Bremerton is to be estab
lished at Quilcene Bay, on Hood Canal.
Government engineers have been mak
ing surveys and gathering data, such
as the flow of water and details con
cerning the country's topography. Lieu
tenant Ferguson, in speaking of the
Government's plans, strongly inti
mated recently that the Quilcene site
was considered much more suitable
than Pleasant Harbor, where survevs
for marine way and a drydoek have been
made. The enginer also said that plans
are urdr way for fortifying Oak Had
and Black Point, in this locality. With
such auxiliaries. Quilcene would be the
best protected position on. Pugt Sound.
It would not be difficult to mine the bay
leading to it.

the Astoria organization, sufr;gets to
Secretary Giltner that he will send 100
tickets for the excursion to Portland,
where that number may be disposed of.
Mr. Whyte writes that a steamer will
be chartered that will take 500 pas
sengers ouf to sea in comfort. It is
quite likely, he says, that a second boat
may be chartered in order to care for
the people who will want to participate
in the excursion to pet within seeing'
distance of Admiral Evans' big battle
ships. It is expected that the fleet will pass
off the mouth of the Columbia River at
some time between May 15 and 20, the
exact date to be known later. Secre
tary Whyte suggests that the tickets
for the excursion will be $5, but there
is a liklihood that the charge will be
less than that figure, it being planned
to pay the actual cost of running the
excursion only. Mr. Whyte suggests
that Secretary Giltner collect $5 for
each ticket disposed of and if there is
a rebate later, the money will be re
funded to those who take part In the
trip.

Ailing
My Fee
Is Only
Pay After I Cure You
The most important tiling for you to do, if you are an ailing man, is to seek
the services of THE RIGHT DOCTOR. Don't go to the first oue you see simply
because he happens to be a physician. Choose the physician who makes a spe
cialty of curing the kind of ailments from" which YOU suffer. The ordinary med
ical man really knows but little about such diseases, because his practice is spread
out over the whole range of diseases to which flesh is heir. He therefore knows
a little about all diseases and not a great deal about any. If you should go to him
he may conscientiously try to cure you, but, not knowing HOW, he would have
to experiment upon you. In brief, he is a medical "jack of all trades and master
of none." Knowing these facts, would you want to trust your, life in his hands f
Varicocele Cured 4- to 6 Days
You may rest assured that when I say I will cure you, I am. sure of the fact myself and I will do all I
asree. No kqife or surgery.
I Cure "Weakness"
"Weakness" in all its phases and in practically every case that comes to me for treatment is merely a
symptom resulting from a state of chronic inflammation in the prostate gland. The inflammation may" be
a lingering result of some contracted disease, or may have been brought on by early dissipation, etc. In
by far the greater number of cases the general health of the patient is perfect, there being no lack of either
physical or nervous energy.- Xo stimulants or tonics are needed, and if employed would only result in tem
porary excitement of the functions and positive injury to the tender and already disordered prostate. My
treatment is a local one entirely. It removes all inflammation, swelling and tenderness from the prostate
gland, establishes normal circulation throughout the parts, and restores permanently and completely all
natural functions.
Never was the old saying, "He who hesitates'is lost," more aptly illustrated than in the case of the
man who suffers from Weakness, Varicocele or any Contracted Disorder, and who neglects to have his ail
ment treated.

EMPEROR'S EDICT
Opium Smokers of High Rank
Stumbling Blocks in Chi
na's War on the Drug.
WORK OF REFORM SLOW
Consumption of Narcotic Has Reen
llcduced, bat Not Area of Land
Devoted to the Growing
of AVhite l'oppy.
PEKIXO. April 23. (Special.) The of
ficial war against opium continues, but
with indifferent results, owing to the
culpability of many of the mandarins
who are addicted to the use of the drug
and who simply Ignore the orders from
the central government. . On November
21, lii6, the Chineso Government ap
proved regulations for the gradual sup
pression of opium cultivation and con
sumption throughout the Empire. So
wide is the area and so many are the
social conditions and interests affected
by these regulations that It Is Impossible
to state any generally applicable con
clusion as to their present results and
the reports of observers in different parts
of the country are so conflicting that
judgment must be suspended pending fur
ther systematic Inquiries. These are now
being conducted In every province of
China.
The operation of the repressive edicts
has been extremely partial, and in most
provinces poppy cultivation has not yet
been appreciably restricted, but a definite
advance seems to have been made, and
proof is given that in numerous districts
the consumption of opium has been cur
tailed. A very large numberof opium
dens have been closed and many of ,the
rest havt ben brought under official
supervision. In all government colleges
and schools, In the police and In the
army, a rigorous prohibition has been en
forced. A number of the mandarin,
however, continue to disregard the im
perial injunction so far as applies per
sonally, to themselves.-
Backed by Public Opinion.
The most gratifying feature of the
movement Is the strong force of public
opinion which is said to lie behind it.
Several foreign Consuls testify that In
rTieir particular districts popular feeling
favors the prohibition and say that re
spectable Chinese are now coming to re
gard opium smoking In public as "bad
form."
Practical men, familiar with conditions
in China, reco nize in the popular anti
opium movement one of the most hopeful
signs of an awakening national con
science, but they recognize also that,
here as elsewhere, people cannot be made
moral by act of Parliament, and that. In
any case, the Chinese government ia very
far from being a regenerating moral
force. On the other hand, there are not
wanting competent critics who aver that
the Chinese Government, recognizing as
usual the strength of public opinion in
this matter. Intends to turn the anti
opium crusade and the sympathy of for
eign governments to its own benefit by
the creation of a government monopoly
in native opium coincident with the abo
lition of the imported drug, and the at
titude of some of China's highest officials,
Prince Ching and Chang Chih Tung, for
Instance, justifies this opinion.
Terms oT the Edict.
By the imperial edict the Chinese gov
ernment announced its intention of com
pletely suppressing the production and
use of opium throughout the empire with
in 10 years. LAnd under poppy cultiva
tion is accordingly to be reduced by one
tenth annually, and rewards will be
given in the districts where the abolition
is completed before the expiration of that
period. All opium smokers are ordered
to register themselves, stating the amount
of their consumption, and no opium may
be sold to persons unregistered. Smokers
under 60 years of .age must decrease their
allowance by one-fifth annually.
The decree ordered the compulsory
closing of all opium dens within six
months and prohibited the sale of smok
ing requisites after one year. Wine shops
and other places of public entertainment
may not permit opium smoking on the
premises. Shops where opium or any
thing connected with the trade is sold
must be officially replptored and must
id
en Hjonsu
5 1 f In Any Uncom
Jp JLJ plicated Case
show an annual decrease in their busi
ness under penalty of confiscation. Offi
cials throughout the empire must set an
example to the people, distributing anti
opium medicines and encouraging this re
form; they themselves, if opium smokers,
must either discontinue the practice
within six months or retire from office.
These regulations were issued "by procla
mations throughout the empire, and were
welcomed by the press, native and for
eign. Not Now Effective.
It Is undeniable that the regulations are
generally ineffective at present, except
In certain large cities such as Canton
and Tientsin. In Pekin opium is freely
sold today to non-registered applicants,
and opium smdking requisites are still
openly for sale. Registration of smokers
has been carried out in a desultory man
ner In certain districts, but the regula
tion appears to be used" in many cases as
an opportunity for the Tamen runners
rather than as a deterrent. A reliable
witness reports from Kwang-tung. for
example, that at Lofan. where the mag
istrate Insists upon the registration of all
purchases of the drug, licenses have been
freely Issued practically certifying that
the entire smoking population Is over 60
years of age, and therefore entitled, un
der the edict, to clemency.
In most of the provincial capitals the
public opium divans have been closed,
but Just as In America, the closing of a
public house Is often followed by the
opening of a convivial workman's club,
so here we find consumption transferred
to social meeting-places where the edict
enters not. From many rural districts
It is reported that the dens have not been
closed, but have been converted into
"government offices for the distribution
of opium for the benefit of the local of
ficials. "
The government has not had the cour
age of Its convictions In regard to the
enforcement of the regulation against
opium smoking officials. It Is notorious
that a very large percentage of the met
ropolitan mandarins estimated at 60 per
cent are addicted to the habit, and few,
if any, take the decree seriously.
Smokers Are Barred.
In October last two Imperial Princes
and the two chief officials of the Censor
ate were ordered to resign their posts
"and give their entire attention to the
eradiction of their cravings for the drug"
and in the same edict it was "commanded,
"as an extraordinary act of mercy," that
an additional time limit of three months
be allowed to civil and military officials
in the provinces who, it waa feared
"might not all have obeyed the original
edict." Nevertheless, improvement is to
be recorded In the fact that In nearly all
recent appointments to vacant offices
non-smokers have been preferred.
To sum up. there is evidence that pub
lic opinion seriously desires the suppres
sion of the opium trade in China. There
is evidence of recognition of the force of
this opinion on the part of the central
government and of systematic co-operation
on the part of a certain number of
officials. But there Is no evidence at
present that the central government
seriously intends to enforce the anti
opium regulations in the spirit In which
they.wcre framed and no evidence of any
organization or reconstructive measures
to that end. The edict is typical of the
opportunist policy of the throne, and its
fulfillment -must depend on the mainten
ance of that force of public opinion
which produced it.
J3ig loss of Revenue.
In the event of complete abolition of
the opium traffic the loss of revenue to
be faced by the central government
amounts ' to about J7.50O.O00 per anum.
The loss to the provincial treasuries is
largely a matter of surmise, but the
best authorities place it at about 25 mil
lion taels, or between J15.O00.000 and $3),
000.000. It is evident that the whole sys
tem of government requires that new
sources of income be provided to replace
these revenues, but of these there is as
yet no sign. In addition to the direct loss
of revenue from the opium trade, funds
will have to be provided for an efficient
preventive service as well as for com
pensation payable to the owners of opium
houses and to farmers who discontinue
poppy-growing. The' financial and econo
mic aspects of the question are therefore
serious. The real test of the movement
will lie in the reduction of the area under
poppy cultivation.
The Chinese were not always, as now,
a sober nation. Their literature contains
many indications, that drunkenness was
once rife among them, and it may be
so again. Already from Kan-su a mis
sionary reports that "the high price of
opium has induced people to take to
drink."

No Uncertainty, Experiment or Guess Work About Our Treatment
for the Diseases Which Constitute Our Specialty
We
In the treatment of certain epeeial diseases there can be no comparison between the ability of the
ordinary doctor and the trained scientific specialist. In his fruitless efforts to explore and conquer the whole
field of medicine and surgery the average physician so scatters his talents that he becomes thoroughly pro
ficient in no particular branch; possesses no special skill, no expert knowledge on any given subject.
But the true specialist not the ALLEGED specialist, whose pretended specialty inclndes every hnmnn
ill, as their announcements imply the genuine expert never attempts more than he can do well. His per
sistent study, diligent research and scientific investigations are all directed to a few diseases, a single class
of them on which all of his efforts are concentrated and to which his practice is limited. Hence he becomes
easily supreme in his chosen field of work.

Contracted Disorders

to determine the exact conditions
that exist and to treat accordingly,
thus removing every damaging
cause and its effects.
