WILL CUT DÖWII EXPENSES $67,188,553 Civil Institutions to Suffer in Order that "Sinews of .War" May Not Be Lacking. SURPLUS WILL BE USED ST. PETERSBURG. April 6. The scheme of effecting retrenchments in the state expenditure in consequence of the war, recently drawn up at a special conference, prv.idcd over by Count Solsky and sanctioned by the Emperor, was gazetted today. It is proposed to devote the "free balance" in the Imperial treasury to war purposes and to increase the funds in the treasury by economies in the budget of 1501, especially in the civil estimate. The reductions, which will be made on the principle of creating ah little disturbance. U3 possible' In public business and private Interests, will total $07,1S5J, of which upward of &7..7,000 fall.s upon the budget of i:m. The reduction falls the heaviest on the railroad department, which loses altogether including $2ÖM).0V for new roads. The church loses at bast $117,00, including. $7.750 for the Orthodox Church at Seoul, Korea. The educational department is a small loser bv $.3,ST3, and the Foreifc-n Office loses 557t.352. of which $216.717 was for the purchase of an embassy building at Washington.

The embassy projterty at Washington i3 now held under lease. WOMAN'S MAGAZINE NOW PUBLISHED HERE Editor of "Madame" Gives Reasons Why Removal Was Made to Indianapolis.

DECORATING CONTRACT RESCINDED BY BOARD The contract with Fertig & Kevers for the redecoration of the interior of Tomlinson Hall, made by the Board of Public Works some time ago, was yesterday rescinded by the board because the contract was made irregularly, in direct disregard of an Important provision of the city charter. The charter expressly provides that the board must always advertise for bids on a contract, which is to be paid for out of the city's funds. Excuse for the award of the contract without advertising for bids was given in the desire of the board to have the work completed before the next performance is given in the hall. As this could not be done if the regular method of awarding the contract were followed, consuming more timythe board proposed to risk the short but illegal cut to completion of the work, but changed its mind when the city attorney rendered his opinion that the process was a risky one.

Rut it is said that the comins of these Japanese to Nieu-Chwang, known to be in Russian possession for a long time past, was certainly indiscreet, and they can be saved from the consequences only through the clemency of the Russian government.

RUSSIANS ARE BUSY MAKING INTRENCHMENTS SHANGHIA, April 6. It is not believed that the Russian troops between An-Tung and Chiu-Tien-Cheng (about ten miles north of An-Tung) comprise the main Russian force, and consequently the engagement which is looked for at or near these places will not be decisive, but only a forerunner of larger operations. The Russians are constructing intrenchments at several points on the Yalu and Turned rivers. These Intrenchments, however, are not yet completed, and if the Japanese succeed in forcing their way past one line of defense It would give them a distinct advantage and make it more difficult for the Russians to concentrate and oppose them The ice on the Yalu is melting rapidly and the muddy roads make promptness in military operations most eifllcult.

There is room for only one ship to pass out of the harbor at a time. The operations at Port Arthur have been rather expensive, but we do not care for that-as long as we are successful. The Japanese intend to force the surrender of Port Arthur in a short time by a combined attack of land and sea forces. We then hop? to force Russia out of Manchuria, as well as Korea.

SCENT OF ROAST BEEF PER VA DES COOKING SCHOOL A TMO SPHERE

Substantiate and Desserts will Alike Be Prepared by Airs. Ann strong at German House

Before the week is over the women who attend the cooking talks given at the German House by Mrs. Helen Armstrong will have had practical demonstrations in the cooking of all kinds of dishts, from the prosaic substantials .to the most frivolous and daintiest of desserts. Mrs. Armstrong remains In Indianapolis only a week, not a fortnight, as was announced some time ago. Yesterday's lesson Included the cooking of a roast which was placed on a rack in a pan of water and tucked away in the oven, where it cooked during the afternoon. Whenever Mrs. Armstrong opened the oven door for a peep at the meat a cloud of smoke floated out over the auditorium, giving a homelike scent to the atmosphere. Mrs. Armstrong recommended the addition of a flue to the gas range when used during the winter, but when only. used for summer cookery she thought that the freer ventilation of houses at that time relieved the kitchen of smoke and odor. "Fifteen minutes to a pound of meat if it is to be rare, twenty minutes for a welldone roast,' is Mrs. Armstrong's formula. For veal or pork roasts she allows twentylive minutes to the pound. She recommends the practice of using covered roasting pans as the concentration of heat means saving of both gas and time. Reil meats should not be seasoned before roasting as the salt draws out the juices too rapidly, but fish or poultry may be dredged with Hour, seasoned, and basted from time to time with admirable results. For roasting or broiling, tender meats must be chosen; but Mrs. Armstiong gave a tip to the economically Inclined housewife when she said that for stews or made dishes inferior grades of meat may be chosen. The cooking must be very slow to insure tenderness, and then properly seasoned, a skillful cook can concoct all kinds of good things out of the comparatively poor material. "It Is easy enough to cook a good steak or chop without spoiling it," said Mrs. Armstrong, "though some women manage to spoil even good ones." And the audience of women laughed the appreciative laugh of those who know. SECRET OF BROWN GRAVY. The gravy concocted by Mrs. Armstrong to accompany the steak wa3 delicious looking, rich, brown and smooth. Instead of the tiresome process of browning the flour and fat Mrs. Armstrong uses a' vegetable compound which does not affect the tlavor. but gives the desired color effect. "John won't eat gravy unless it's brown, and I never can get it right I always burn the flour or else don't brown It at all. But my troubles are over now." That was the contented sigh of one woman. In the intervals of meat cooking Mrs. Armstrong put together rice croquettes, a spinach salad and a delectable dessert snowballs with strawberry sauce. After the croquettes were shaped and breaded they were dipped in beaten egg and water and then passed through the bread crumbs a second time. Fried in a frying basket in two and one-half inches of hot fat, they came out brown as giant berries, crisp and licking the grcasiness that usually accompanies the fried dish. "The two important points in frying croquettes are that the croquettes should be thoroughly covered with egg and that there should be plenty of fat," says Mrs. Armstrong. "The fat can be used over and over for breaded things, the only thing which unfits it for further use being the frying of raw fish; and the odor and taste of that is removed by frying a sliced raw potato in the fat." The spinach salad was a revelation to those women who know spinach only as "greens." "First wash your spinach until you are suru it L thoroughly clean then wash it

A temporary injunction was granted by the court. There are S5.0X) members in the organization.

RECEPTION GIVEN BY DRAMATIC CLUB Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE, Ind.. April 6. One of the most notable society events of the season was the reception given by the Lafayette Dramatic Club last night, consisting of two farces presented by the members of the organization and followed by a ball. Those present included many from other cities. The farce, "The Foolishness of Gerald," written by Charles H. Ball, of this city, was one of the cleverest playlets ever given here. William Harty, of Purdue University and member of Kappa Sigma fraternity, took the leading roh'. Among those from out of town were Mrs, Daniel B. Luten. Misses Helen Springsteen. Charlotte Scott and Anna Torrence and Messrs. Frederick Hofft, William Harshaw, Jack and Henry Perrin and Herbert Eckhaus, of Indianapolis; Mrs. Maud M.

The Associated Press is officially authorized to deny the report that an anti-Jewish demonstration has occurred at Gomel, and also to state that up to date no further antl-Jew-ish disturbances have occurred at Odessa, Kleff, Kishineff or elsewhere. some more," is Mrs. Armstrong's advice. The big Jar of the green stuff set on to boll shrank to a much smaller quantity, which was chopped with a knife and packed in a mold. Then it was turned out on a platter, the whites of hard-boiled eggs were cut into long petal-shaped strips and laid in the form of a circle on the green mound. Upon the center was sifted through a fine sieve the pollen-like yolks of hard-boiled eggs, and the result was a "marguerite salad" so pretty that one had scarcely the heart to wish for its dismemberment for the customary sampling. The snowballs, though unseasonable, excited admiration. Fluffy mounds of white, topped off with big strawberries and covered with strawberry sauce, they were almost too good to be true. Mrs. Armstrong explained in regard to the sauce that the more berries were used the better it would taste and the worse it would look. SECTION LACKS SPOONS. There was deep mourning In one section of the auditorium yesterday. When the spoons were passed one entire section was left spoonless, cither because of an oversight or because thieves in the night had got at the sterling silver, and there were no spoons. Taper napkins were duly dealt out, and he spoonless ones eat in hope. But as time passed and still no spoons came and hope began to -flicker, it went out entirely when it came to the passing of the samples, for in that, too, the spoonless section was overlooked, though it was ready, to a woman, to eat with its fingers. One lonely dish of dessert did find its way "down the line," and a girl who had in some way acquired a spoon possibly she was forewarned and had brought it with her let the dish leave her hands with the spoon remaining. The women in her row sat up and took notice. But only for a second did the courage last. "Please will you pass the spoon back?" whispered the girl Mrs. Armstrong's recipes for yesterday follow: Roast of ' Beef.

These are nedatives. rtimulant and the kllIffHe us them according to his ability, M conscience und the symptom described or revealM f him bv the patient. Scarcely any two doctors will diagnose symptoms in the same way, or fully agree uijn case. Kecause symptoma are unreliable, and often iniicate only a small part of the ailment. It is folly to waste time and money In treating th more obscure and important cau.e is not reached, more ol-scure and iniortant cv In not reached. Kut what physician in practice, can afford t admit th.s. H uiii do his best to cure, and he often succeeds. He yvill experiment till he finds a dru h!ch seems to take hold.

The Cure-quik" methods of medicine are as riskjr and uncertain as the "det-rich-quick" schemes of finance. Certain things In treating dlseas are positively known. The rest is mere opinion. I. who ata writing this article, have beer thirty years a Thysician and hae treated ovei two million cases. This has tnught me some certainties. I have proven beyond doubt that nearly all diseases (except some surgical cases) are due to weakness of the Inmost nerves. Not the nerves we feel with, the cerebro-splnal system (which is usually treated. Hut the power-nerves that ojerate the Heart, LJvcr. Kidneys and all the vital organs. I have never found sickness of any organ where these Inmost nerves were strong (cancer excepted . And I have never failed to And ft weakness of these nerves where any of the) organs were sick. It is these nerves alone that give power t operate each organ, so it can throw ofT it jxMsonous waste matter and rebuild new tissue from the blood to replace it. When we strengthen these nerves provUe them with a surplus of power we do more tl ni give new life to the organs known to be uffeeted. We also repair unsuspected weakness In any other organ in complications which do not reveal themselves through symptoms. This is why my mode of treatment cures In many cases that baffle other Physicians s hi rely on symptom treatment. After years of experience and observation I discovered that a certain chemical would directly and safely vitalize these inmost nerves. To thta I added, subtracted from and modified, nottn carefully each result till I perfected a prescription which never fails now to give strength ts the source of Power to the Inmost rerves strength from the very first. With it I cured, on actual test of 2.(KK) cases, thirty-nine out of every forty sick people. It is not a Quick-cure." because I have not used in it a sinple drug that could accumulate, nor be dangerous, if a hundred bottles were taken. There are no sedatives in It to lull the patient into a delusion that his pains are disappearing. There are no Narcotics nor Injurious Stimulates to exhilarate him temporarily, at the

future expense of health. This prescription Is now widely known as "Ir. Shoop'a Restorative," and so sure am I of Its curative effect that I will place it on a month's trial, at my own risk, with practically any sick one who write me for it. If this trial does not convince him it is succeeding, I will bear the whole coft mj felf. When Dr. Shoop'n Kestoratlve succeed, a It does, in thirty-nine out of forty cases, the cost to the patient for the entire (six bottles) trentmert is but $r.in This includes my professional help in the case.
