CHANGE OF RED GROSS FLAG.

There is IA movement afoot to change
the Red Cross Flag. The Red Cross
Society is known far and wide for its
magnificent work. 1t seems a pity to
change the signum which stands for as
much good to humanity in another
war as the name Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. 1t strikes at the root Of almost
all illness-the stomach-making it
strong and hearty. A healthy stomach
invariably means health. If YOU have
constipation, Indigestion, dyspepsia, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or liver and kidney
troubles, try Tostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. 1t has cured these ills for half
a century. See that private Revenue
Stamp covers the neck OF the bottle.

and deep seated it is often difficult to
cure it. That is the reason why it is
best to take Hoods Sarsaparilla when

or disordered liver or kidneys. This

To their credit, be it said, Japs are regu-
lar whales at bathing, and usually when
not drinking tea are bathing Their only
trouble in life seems to be their inability to
enjoy both these delights at the same time.
If some American trick swimmer could
teach the Japs how to swallow tea out of
a bottle while under water, they would
build a tin temple round him, burn incense
made of old rags and bones under his nose
and worship him.
'miXed bathing was practiced until lately;
but now bamboo fence separates the sex
eS. though it does not screen them from
view, the fence being only two feet high in
bath houses in the interior of Japan. Some
homes have a wooden bath tub, circular in
shape, with stove built in one end, which
heats the water. The whole family, begin
ming with the father, battle in the same
water.
Sometimes women tub" themselves and
their children outside their doors in the
streets where sidewalks should be. The
first time foreigner falls over one of these
bathing parties and into the arms of the
bather he feels that the situation is unique,
but by the time he has tumbled over half a
dozen he tires of the fun, rubs his shins
and makes some very uncomplimentary
comments. while the polite little woman
underneath squeaks out, "Sayonara." (Sir,

teen governors of states, six United States
senators. twenty-three representatives,
twelve judges, many doctors of divinity,
the proprietors of five big newspapers and
200 other men of the highest standing in
the business world. The officers of the
meeting are eminent in their professions,
while the orator of the occasion, Bourke
Cochran, is admittedly one of the most
brilliant speakers. 1t is no wonder, then,
that the attendance is to be extra ordinary.
Admission to all parts of the hall viii be

served for those who subscribe toward de-
fray1ng the expenses of the meeting.
Tickets for the stage will be restricted to
the vice presidents. The affair Is distinct

sect has had part in arranging this dem

all those who believe in civil and religious
liberty and a republican form of govern
ment will rally to support men of similar
sentiments who are striving to maintain
these principles.
