CHRONIC SORES
Signs of Polluted Blood.
There is nothing so repulsive looking and disgusting as an old sore.
You worry over it till the brain grows weary and work with it until the
patience is exhausted, and the very sight of the old festering, sickly looking
place makes you irritable, despondent and desperate.
A chronic sore is the very best evidence that your blood is in an unhealthy
and impoverished condition, that your constitution is breaking down under
the effects of some serious disorder. The taking of strong medicines, like
mercury or potash, will sometimes so pollute and vitiate the blood and im-
pair the general system that the merest scratch or bruise results in obstinate
non-healing sores of the most offensive character.
Often an inherited taint breaks out in frightful eating sores upon the limbs
or face in old age or middle life. Whenever a sore refuses to heal the blood
is always at fault, and, while antiseptic washes, salves, soaps and powders
can do much to keep down the inflammation and cleanse the sore, it will
never heal permanently till the blood itself has been purified and the deadly
germs and poisons destroyed, and with S. S. S. this can be accomplished—the
polluted blood is purified and invigorated, and when
rich, pure blood is again circulating freely throughout
the body the flesh around the old sore begins to take
on a natural color, the discharge of matter ceases
and the place heals over.
S. S. S. is botfi a blood purifier and tonic that puts your blood in order
and at the same time tones up the system and builds up the general health.
If you have a chronic sore write us. No charge for medical advice.

SCHWAB’S OFFER
TO BONDHOLDERS
Permanent Receivership for United
States Shipbuilding Co.
WILLING TO RELEASE
BETHLEHEM PROPERTY
Offer Came as the Result of a Long
Series of Conferences—Definite
Proposition.
By Associated Press.
New York, Jan. 20.—Charles M. Schwab
has made an offer to four first mortgage
bondholders who are pressing the action
for a permanent receivership for the Unit-
ed States Shipbuilding company what is
tantamount, says the Times, to an offer
releasing his hold on the Bethlehem Steel
property.
The offer came as the result of a long
series of conferences which wound up in
a meeting of three hours’ duration in Mr.
Schwab’s office. It was, however, not ac-
cepted, nor did the conditions under which
it was discussed later by William Nelson
Cromwell, counsel for the Sheldon reor-
ganization committee, and Samuel Unter-
meyer, at the former’s residence, admit of
what might be called a definite proposition
for the reorganization of the Ship Build-
ing company.
The conference, it is understood, had to
do with a tentative plan under which the
second mortgage bonds to the extent of
$10,000,000, which Mr. Schwab holds as the
purchase price of his Bethlehem proper-
ties, and the $16,000,000 of general first
mortgage bonds on the entire Ship Build-
ing company, would be placed on an equal
basis. This, it is understood, was not and
will not be acceptable to the four first
mortgage bondholders backing the Conklin
suit, who believe that, despite the fact
that Mr. Schwab’s bonds are a first mort-
gage on the Bethlehem nl-uH by reason
of the terms of tlA deal incorporating it
.-.?a Cf Lne constituent operations of the
Ship Building combine, their holdings and
the holdings of every first mortgage bond-
holder ought to go ahead of the' Schwab
bonds in any settlement.
There the matter stands at present.
There may be conferences and an agree-
ment to end the long drawn out contro-
versy. The conferences were the most im-
portant of any held since the litigation
began, inasmuch as the direction to sub-
mit a new offer was reached. The first
meeting was attended by Mr. Schwab,
William Nelson Cromwell, counsel for the
Sheldon reorganization committee, who,
Is understood to be looking after Mr.
Schwab's interests in the present and
prospective negotiations; Charles W. Wet-
more, president of the North American
company and chairman of the Sheldon re-
organization committee, and Max Pam,
Mr. Schwab’s personal counsel.
The ground covered by the proposition,
which was to be adopted after certain
details had been worked out, had been
gone over since the last hearing before
Judge Kirkpatrick in a Jersey court a
week ago by a number of persons who
were called to pass upon the fairness of
the proposition. The approval of the lat-
ter was given, it is learned, and ac-
cording to certain reports the advice of
Receiver Smith was obtained. The re-
sultant plan was therefore considered by
the parties concerned in proposing it as a
general proposition, and barring details,
to be considered later quite as far as they
can go into the matter.

LEE’S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATED.
Reception at the Residence of Senator
and Mrs. Davidson Yesterday.
The celebration of the birthday of
Robert Edward Lee, the great southern
soldier, in the form of a reception at the
residence of Senator and Mrs. Robert
Vance Davidson, was a success from
every standpoint. There were quite a
number of the members of the United
Qoiifederate Veterans, the United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy and Sons of Vet-
erans present, as well as many others,
thus making the attendance a very large
one. The program rendered was partici-
pated in by the best local talent and
proved thoroughly enjoyable to all. Light
refreshments were served at intervals
throughout the hours of the reception,
which were from 4 to 9.
The Davidson home was beautifully
decorated in a manner thoroughly be-
fitting the occasion. The entire down
stairs portion of the house constituted
the reception suite and everywhere the
stars and bars of the Confederacy, the
stars and stripes of the Union and the
Lone Star flags were used in an elegant
and artistic fashion. Life-size portraits
of Lee and Davis and other heroes of
those trying times graced tfle walls of
the rooms, and weapons that were his-
toric and relics of value were on view in
various parts of the house.

London, Jan. 20.—In a war between the
Russians and the Japanese the first fight-
ing would take place on the sea, and the
navies of the two empires have been
studied with some attention in this coun-
try, says the London Sunday Chronicle.
They are not so well known in their
military aspect, but Russia is really a
great military Power, and has drafted a
very large force to Manchuria; and
though the Japanese army is smaller than
the army of the czar, it will prove a for-
midable adversary in any conflict on
Korean or Manchurian soil. Thus we
should see two remarkable military sys-
tems opposed, one gigantic and ponderous,
the other light and agile—one ancient,
the other modern, the product of the
wave of occidentalism -which has surged
through the island empire of the
in the last two generations.
The Japs are essentially simple in
lives; their necessities are but few.

will continue on the way for weeks
marching 40 and 50 miles a day, subsist-

fish; and never a day passes without a
bath, so that a Japanese crowd is said to
smell sweeter than any in the world, and,
as Sir Edwin Arnold put it, has the odor
of the geranium flower, from the use of
perfume known as “jako.”
Made up of such units, the Japanese
army is composed of the handiest little
fighting men in the world, ardent, well
trained, well equipped, well disciplined,
brave and thoroughly fit. It is a con-
script army, and on a war footing num-
bers half a million men. The young men
who are chosen spend three years with the
army, four years in the reserve, five in
the Landwehr, or first militia, and four
years in the second branch of the militia,
which is called upon in cases of national
emergency. All males of 20 years are
liable to service, and the Jap is a patriot
and a good soldier. Civilized fighting men
had their first experience of the Japanese
soldiers when they took their part with
the allied armies
of the Legations,
ly qualities then

force. They surprised the officers of the
most consummately organized armies of
the world by their intelligence, their
equipment, their efficiency, and the ad-
dress with which they did their work.

ment excelled all others; they had the
only compete and accurate maps of the
region, and the commanders of the other
forces had to rely on them for informa-
tion. They saved the situation many
times. On the march to Pekin, Mr. Mil-
lard, a correspondent with the force, said
their field telegraph alone kept the allied
army in communication with its base. It
was provided with telescopic metal poles
and braces, and when once set it stood.
An hour after the camp was set the
Japanese telegraph would open communi-
cation with the next station in the rear;
but as for the British, Russian, French
and German telegraphs they did not even
try. Their field medical corps was the
best In the field, and astonished all who
saw It; the ambulances were light and In-
genious, and the bearers displayed great
bravery and celerity.
In commissariat and transport their ex-
cellence was no less marked. “The Japa-
nese forces have moved with great readi-
ness and rapidity, with less fatigue to the
troops, have been better supplied, and
have consequently, Invariably entered en-
gagements in better physical condition
and with a larger percentage of battalions
present for duty than any of their allies,”
says Mr. Millard. The simplicity of Japa-
nese tastes is shown in the transport sys-
tem, and probably makes its excellence
possible. No package weighs more than
60 pounds, the transport vehicles are very
light, the bundles may be carried easily
if a vehicle breaks down, and consequent-
ly the Jap soldiers, though bearing little
themselves, are alway s well supplied, and
can move with great dispatch. The trans-
port of the troops of the great Rowers of
Europe was bad and delayed the column;
but the Japs never suffered. In a country
where the water supply was deadly, they
were the only troops supplied with port-
able filters for use in the field; they drank
only aerated water prepared regularly by
the field filters, the water carts moving
with the column, so that the canteens
could always be replenished on the march.
Of course t-he task of supplying such an
army is made easy by the fact that the
Japs are content with and thrive on their
rations of rice and dry fish, trusting to
luck for anything else. They carry noth-
ing on the march but their rifles, ammu-
nition and water bottles; and when the
allies arrived at Pekin, though one-third
of the American force was unfit for duty,
only 5 per cent of the Japs, who had done
the most arduous work in the campaign,
were invalided. The Japanese Tommy
Atkins is, perhaps, rather callous, but he
is a thorough little soldier, brave and
dashing, who can go anywhere and do
anything.
The Russian soldier is in marked con-
trast to the yellow-faced soldier of Japan.
He belongs to the largest army in the
world, an army which numbers nearly
5,000,000 of men on a war footing, and
since 1874 has been organized on compul-
sory military service. Every man of 21 is
liable to serve, but there is exemption for
many who can show title "to the privilege.
The physique of the average Russian
peasant is not good, and from 150,000 to
200,000 are found too weak and physically
unfit for service every year. Those chosen
have to serve for five years in the army,
though by furloughs the actual period is
reduced to four; then they spend 13 years
in the reserve and five in the Zapas.
They are mostly very poor, and the few
copecks which come to them do not serve
to mitigate the rigor of their lives. Com-
forts they have few, but then they have
never been used to them; they are grim,
rough creatures, ready for any hard us-
age, inured to hardship, taking their
pleasures sadly over the occasional vod-
ka. They are very patient. They bear
the lash of the officers whip which is
frequently applied, without a protest; it
is a part of the discipline, of the system.
I have seen a group of Russian soldiers
making as merry over a handful of sun-
flower seeds as a party of English Tommie
over the canteen beer. The Russian is
placid and'patient, though he looks strong
and rough, but he is a ruthless fellow
when the dogs of war are loosed, for he
is, in the majority of cases, little removed
from barbarism.
Some of the Russian regiments, espe-
cially those of the Imperial Guards, are
magnificent, and fill an Englishman with
admiration. Composed of picked men, of
splendid physique, they are the pride of
the army. But the average infantry sol-
dier is not so impressive. In a climate of
such extremes he needs variety of cos-
tume, and in the summer lie wears liners
blouse and trousers, while in winter h®
may have a sheep skin under his great
coat, his hands encased in thick mitts
with one space for the fingers and anothe?
for the thumb, and his feet shod in long
Russian boots reaching to the knee. Ha
carries in full marching order a weight
of 58 pounds, with biscuits and salt foe
two and a half days.
Whatever may be the issue of a struggle
between the two forces, so different in
construction and personnel, we need not
attempt to forecast, but when the yellow
fighting man of the east comes to grips
with the dreaded hosts of Moscovy, th®
world, looking on with wonder, may well
be prepared for surpises.

Don’t Neglect Your Health.
1468 Second St., Louisville, Kv., April 14, 1903.
I have been weak and sickly for the past four years, caused by irregularity and carelessness
regarding the laws of health, but about five months ago my condition became very serious. I
hatl severe backache and suffered a constant dull pain in my head. I lost my appetite and be-
came extremely nervous and irritable. I spent weary, painful days, and miserable, restless
nights. The doctor told me that I must have patience as I had a serious case oi inflammation
of the bladder and uterus and he prescribed an injection as well as a tonic.
Etis medicine did not, however, give me even temporary relief and as I had been tola or
the curative qualities of Wine of Cardui I decided to try it. ..
I found that it relieved me of pain. As my general health improved my other troubles
were gradually diminished and after five weeks’ use of the n Tj
Wine of Cardui I was once more a well and happy woman. ffb a
