London. Oct. 26.-"Rumor credits the
Germans" says the Shanghai corre-
spondent of the Times, with the inten-
ton to take early action in the Yang
Use region, where the military situa-
ton is becoming serious. The Chinese
troops there and in the north are dill
gently drilling and practicing musketry
firing under foreign trained officers
Large quantities of provisions, war
material and treasure are being for
warded from the Yang-1'se districts to
the imperial court"
Hong Kong, Oct. 26.-Advices from

Nothing has been heard of Princess
Chimay for a long time, but probably
this is due to the fact that her do
mestic troubles are now at an end, and
that her husband has forgiven her for
her indiscreet adventures with the
Hungarian gypsy Rigo. The prince and
princess are now in Paris, and the
last that was heard of the violinist
Rigo was to the effect that he was
somewhere in Africa. Photographs Of
the princess are no longer on sale
either in Paris or Vienna. and big
sums are consequently offered for the
picture of her as she appeared on the
Partisan variety stage.

A. R. Julian was preacher at Chad
ron, Neb., three years ago. In the es-
timation of his flock he was doing
good work, but was unable to reach
his own ideal of what pastor should
bo. Therefore he bought a newspaper.
which he ran in vigorous, clean style
for over two ears. And now, feeling
confident thai his editorial experience
has left him better fitted for pulpit
eering, he has sold his paper and will
re-enter the ministry.

A Swiss factory inspector reports
that two years ago company Of
workmen objected to an improved
ventilating apparatus because 1t would
breed rheumatism. This summer the
same laborers refused to go to an
other building because it lacked that
ventilating apparatus. Since these men
seem to have learned useful lesson,
why not import them to America and
distribute them about lae country as
church janitors? An Ohio minister
recently had to stop his sermon while
two fainting women were carried out.
An investigating stranger afterward
discovered that the janitor had nailed
the new memorial windows SO that
they could not be opened. because his
occasional substitute had bad habit
OF trying to air the church!

Certainly more flags have been taken

There is beautiful unction in these
remarks made by the Paramount at
East st. Louis:
my dear friends, there is not place
in the Holy Scriptures where the Lord
commands us 10 go out and conquer

Colonel Bryan has not read the Old
Testament lately or he would not have
forgotten that the Chosen People We're
consistent eXpansionists and did good
deal of conquering. But what has
''conquering nations to do with the
case? The United States is simply re-
ducing the rebels in the Philippines to
subjection.

There is a current medical proverb
in Europe that when thing is veri-
fed on the banks of the Spree. as
well as on the banks of the Seine.
that is, when Berlin and Paris agree,
there must be something in it. So
much has been added to our knowl-
edge Of the physical history of the
race by study and experiments in
France and Germany. that the proverb
is worthy to be remembered when the
political relations Of the two coun-
tries are in question. Moreover, it is
net best for the world to emphasize
the fraternizings rather than the
arrangements of the nations?

Are You Growing Old.

when is man old?" is a question
that has been debated more than once.
DIR. Haydn Brown. the author of The
Secret of Good HEALTH" refuses to
state any particular age, but fixes it
at the time when men show themselves
distinctly less capable of transacting
business than they were formerly;
when they go through daily routine
with less alacrity, walking stiff1y, talk
Ing childishly, eating capriciously and
exhibiting the wearing effects of time
In countless different ways. Men
who have grown fairly old so far as
years indicate, but retain their phys
ical and mental capabilities unim-
paired, are advised not to relinquish
their business or profession. Such
action, it has been found, has frequent
~ a bad influence on the health.
