ITCHING HUMOURS
SPEEDY CURE TREATMENT
FOR EVERY HUMOUR.
Bathe the affected parts with hot water and CUTICURA SOAP, to cleanse the skin and scalp of crusts and scales, and soften the thickened cuticle. Dry, without hard rubbing, and apply CUTICURA OINTMENT freely to allay itching, irritation, and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and lastly take CUTI- CURA RESOLVENT PILLS, to cool and cleanse the blood. This pure, sweet, and wholesome treatment affords instant relief, permits rest and sleep, and points to a speedy, perman- ent, and economical cure of the most torturing, disfiguring. Itching, burning, and scaly skin, scalp, and blood humours, eczemas, rashes, and irritations, from infancy to age, with loss of hair, when all else fails.
MILLIONS USE CUTICURA SOAP
Assisted by CCTICCRA OINTMENT, for preserving, purifying, and beautify- ing the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening, and soothing red, rough, and sore hands, for baby rashes, itchings, and chafings, and for all the pur poses of the toilet, bath, and nursery. Millions of Women use CUTICURA Sode in the form of baths for annoying Irritations, inflammations, and excoriations, for too free or offensive perspiration, ir the form of washes for ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sanative, antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, especially mothers.
CUTICURA RESOLVENT PILLS, CHOCOLATE COATED,
Are a new, tasteless, o·lourless, econotafeal substitate for the celebrated Hquid CUTICURA RESOLVEST, well as for all other bloud bustlers and humourcures. Put up in screw- cap pocket vials containing 60 doseș, CUTIVERA PILLS are alterative, antiseptic, tonie, and digestive, and beyond question the purest, sweetest, most surressful and economical blood and skin puriflere, huiour cures, and tonic-ligestives, yet compounded.

HONOUR INTACT.
Port Arthur Burrendered, but was Not Conquered.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 3. Commenting on the surrender of Port Arthur, ~the~ *Novoye Vremya" to-day" -
sayo:-
*Russia has been struck by a thunder- bolt, although for some time past all havo- been awaiting this inevitable blow, which no efforts and no personal bravery rendered useless by the scarcity of ammunition, could ward off. - Every Russian heart is, nevertheless, wrung with anguish.
'Port Arthur surrondored, but was not conquered. The blood spilt by our bro thers was not in vain, because for seven months and a half they have kept occupied the flower of the Japaneso Army, thus rendering incalculablo services to Russia, which must now show herself worthy of them. Port Arthur has fallon, but the honour of Russia and the glory of the Russian Army are intact,"
The Rus declares: The national pride of Russia has been stricken to the heart by
this terrible fresh trial of pitiless destiny, but Russia would not be a great nation if she let herself bo cast down for even a moment in this hour of disaster. We have, above all, need of unity of thought and action. Let the divisions in the strength of the nation coase, and with it let this shameful stain on its clear rea son disappear. Without the co-operation of the people the Government cannot aur- |mount this great rational calamity.
#
We were victorious in 1812, and we' will be victorious now at any cost, if we are strong in an alliance between the governing class and the governed. With- out such an alliance nine-tenths of the Russian people lie dead and putrefying, perishing unavailingly and ingloriously It is absence of this alliance that has brought. upon us the present disaster.'

But who would have dared to give such advice at a time when most of those in naval
and military circles supposed to-be-com- potent not only would not admit the inevi tablo fall of Port Arthur, but still believed that it was possible to save it by dispatching fresh squadrons? To have made the sugges tion would have appeared to be guilty of a frightful anti-patriotic heresy, which would have provoked indignation at least equal to the enthusiasm with which the idea of sending a third equadron was received.'
The news of the capitulation of Port Arthur was received with incredulity by the general mass of the people. ! We have heard the same story so often, was the fre- quent comment. As the afternoon were on, however, the spirit of unbelief gradual. ly gave way to one of quiet resignation, and even in many quarters of thankfulness and relief that in at least one portion of the theatre of war an end had been put to use. less bloodshed. It was high time, and should have been done long ago," said many. Reuter.
TIMELY SUGGESTION.—This in the season of the year when the pru dens and careful housewife replenishes her supply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is certain to be needed before the winter is over, and results are much more prompt and satisfactory when it is kept-at hand and given as soon as the cold is contracted and before it has become settled in the system. In almost every instance a severe cold may be warded off by taking this remedy freely as soon as the first indication of the cold appears. There is no danger in giving it to children for it contains no harm. ful substance. It is pleasant to take-hoth adults and children like it. Buy it and you will get the best. It always eures.
