It were wise that our states men heed the lessons "taught by the struggle between Russia and Japan. The one thing that should attract attention more than any thing else is the superiority of Japan on the seas. The Russia fleet has been practically destroy ed and 'here is reason for such was a rich and power ful nation, but had neglected her sea interests. Other nations did the bulk- of her oversea carry ing. The result was Russia had neither sufficiently equipped ships nor sailors to man them. As a nation she did not pay attention to either her merchantmen or her marine. The result was a general un preparedness when war was de clared. You cannot make a sailor in a day nor a month it' requires years. On the other hand, Japan, a poor and small nation in com parison, has given careful atten tion to both her merchant marine and her war marine. In Japan both ship building and ocean car rying is subsidized. It must be recalled that Japan, through one of her ministers, prohibited our annexation of Hawaii for a time, as she -declared she could not look upon our annexation with "unconcern for the reason that 5 l 1 1 J T fatal to her steamship lines. As a result of the different rvf T? 11 OHIO TiniTi Uliuico ui ibuooia auu tiapau line - latter has a large sailor class and -a most wonderful and powerful navy for its size, while Russia is practically off the high seas to day. It is an indisputable fact that all nations fostering and subsidizing their shipbuilders and o:ean carriers are forging ahead, while those leaving these inter ests to shift for themselves are gradually, but surely, being forced from the dominion of the high seas. It may. not be wise to go into the matter of subsidizing too strenuously in the United States, 1 L J i. J.

"In times of peace prepare for war" is an old cheaper in the long run and there is not. go much danger of defeat defeat entailing not alone in demnity, but national humilia ' tion.

Hencye In connection with J. H. SIMPSON'S HARDWARE STORE. MSS. CECELIA ST0WE, Orator, Entre Nous Clnb. 176 Warren Avenue, Chicago, Iix., Oct. 22, 1902. , For nearly four years I suffered from ovarian troubles. The doc tor insisted on an operation as the only way to get well. 1, however, strongly objected to an operation. My husband felt disheartened as well as I, for home with a sick woman is a disconsolate place at best. A friendly druggist advised him to get a bottle of Win'e of Cardui for me to try, and he did so. I began to improve in a few days and my recovery was very rapid. With in eighteen weeks I was another being. E3 Mrs. Stowe's letter shows every woman how a home is saddened by female weaknes and how completely Wine of Cardui cures that sick ness and brines health and happi ness again.
