The words "for pale people" were adopted for use in England and America: they have reférence, of course, to Europeans; but the pills are equally adapted for all racer and castes and for both sexes. Wherever a tonic and strengthening medicine is required, Dr. Williams' pink¡pills are invaluable. They give strength and make blood. They are obtainable from Dr. Williams' Medicine Com. pany, Holborn Viaduct, London.
Yokohama, 6th January, Yesterday (January 5th), appearances were much more warlike than they have been for 'some time, Numerous significant features were recorded, in the vernacular Preas. It was reported, for instanca, that instead of the usual mounted engineers, cavalry detachments ware being trained in the special business of railway wrecking. References were made to stacks of arms and ammunition on the Moji wharves, Arsenals and ironworks were working over- time, even the New Year holiday (so generally observed in Japan) being dispensed with. Your correspondent heard of an order for transport waggons; but just as the features of interest were increasing in number and significance, there came the expected order of the Censor, on behalf of the Foreign Minister, the War Minister, and the Minister for the Navy, to spend publication of a certain class of news. Strictly local rumours, symptomatic of the hope that springs eternal in the business breast, are to-day being circulated as to chances even yet of peaceful settlement. War itself could | 22} scarcely cripple business more than the pre- sent uncertainty is doing. Several firms report practical cessation.of orders or order-filling. A visit to the capital this week was likewise very impressing. The trains and the streets were full of uniformed men, some unfamiliar regimental colours from far provinces being noticeable.

The situa tion certainly saddened the customary New Year festivities, which were not on the whole- sale scale usual to this childish-hearted people. Indifference, in some cases due to stupidity, in others due to a lively faith in and reliance on those in authority, was apparent. Higher up in the educational scale, an intense anxiety for the Russian reply was being evinced, and a tendency to distrust the outcome of war was ~especially-observable, self-confidence--being- usually not lacking in the Inpanese.

soldiers and sailors themselves are happy of mien, but this may be due to the fact that they are enjoying a sort of hero-worship just now. The more peaceful and hopeful papers here have now begun to admit that war looks almost inevitable, but curiously enough, after all these undoubtedly warlike matters have been cata logued, the present writer feels less certain than he did a few days ago. There seems to-day a possibility at least of its not being quite so imminent as we have all been expect. ing. The feverish preparations of the foreign | FRIDAY, the and day of January, 1904,
correspondents, urged on by frantic appeals from "home," cannot be accounted at all signi- cant. They are due to the wrong construction which has been placed on the lack of news. Home editors seem to think that no news is bad news, that is, of bad amen.-N. C. D. News

ASTRIDE THE TRUSTY WHEEL, But there was a time when Mr.Humphries found it impossible to even walk, let alone ride. That he is now strong enough for any amount of exertion he attributes solely to the efficacy of Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people. In- terviewed at his home in Knottingley, Mr. Humphries said :—
About five years ago I began to feel very languid and depressed. I had no energy for anything, and completely lost my appetite. I was under the doctor's care off and on for two or three years.. The causes of the trouble were a disordered stomach, and liver complaint. 1 was afraid my heart was also affected, for every night, when getting into bed, I bed fearful palpitations. The doctor told me the palpita. tion had nothing to do with the state of my heart, but was due to the fact that I was thoroughly run-down and that my blood was very poor. I spent a lot of money on medicine. Thep, about two or three months ago, a friend
who had been cured of pleurisy by Dr.
Williams' pink pills, recommended them to me. I tried a bottle and they did me a lot of good. I have gone on improving, until now, baving taken six bottles. I am fully recovered; I sleep better, eat better, and work better. I ride to Castleford and back (six miles) on my bicycle every day.”... ·
Mr. Humphries' case is like many others which have been cured by the same means. Exhausted by work and with but scanty appetite, he could not get good from his food. Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people not only improve the appetite an effect almost immediately observed on takingm--but they help the digestion too. -
