RELIGION IN CHINA.
There Are Three state Systems, Con-
fucianism, Buddhism and Ia O sm.


In theory Confucianism is the re-
ligion or the state. The state officials
are the literati who have secured their
positions through the study of the
classics. e., the Sacred Writings of
Confucius" The Confuci&aist temples
are protected and honna ed by the state,
and the worship of Confucius is carried
on at the expense of the state. In a
limited sense, too Buddhism can also
claim to be a state religion. The same
is also true of Taoism, since deceased
generals and statesmen are assigned
their corresponding ranks with the
Taoistic king of the lower world in
hades. In this role they are worshiped
In Taoistic temples. In this way it is
possible for Chinaman to make use
of all three religions without getting
into conflict with the distinctive prin-
eiples of any of them. Their officials
worship together. In funeral services
monks of both orders are found per-
forming functions on different days.
The public temples are usually In
control of the Taoists, but sometimes
are In charge of Buddhists. Not rarely
Taoistic gods are found in Buddhist
temples and vice versa. Sometimes
they differ only in name. The Bud
dhist goddess of mercy is the Taoist
goddess of heaven. The pearl king of
the Taoists is the imperial ruler Of the
Buddhists. Both systems teach the
same ten princes in hades, and even
a reproduction of the Buddhist punish
ment in hell is found in the Taoist tenn
Piles.

||''''A ADJUSTMENTS '"'

That grand, old, melo-dramatic master
piece, "The Two Orphans" with Kate
Claxton, whose name and fame is
synonymous with that of the famous
play as Blind Louise, was the attraction
at Larson's last Thursday night. Kate
Claxton has lost none of her old-time
ability and was ably supported through
out, with the possible exception of the
character of the Chevalier de Naudray,
one of the heaviest and best parts in the
entire play, which in the Lands of Fred
Nj. Whilst, was not handled at all salts
factorily. Ethlyn Palmer, as Henrietta
the "other orphan" was superb ;
Blanche Moulton as La Frouchard in
vested that character with all the tiend-
ishness one could desire and could not
be improved upon; Frank Mcdonald as
Jacques Frouchard was an ideal rutfian /;
Arthur Berthelet as Pierre, the cripple,
had the sympathy of the audience from
his first appearance, limping along under
a heavy burden to the grand climax,
where the poor, weak cripple, rises
above himself and scorns and deties his
brutal brother in defense of the blind
girl. John f. Hazard was very funny
and entertaining as Picard. In fact,
with the one exception noted, the sup
port was first-class throughout. The
piece was finely staged, and certainly
deserved much larger audience than
the one that greeted its first production
in Yakima.

street.
Judge Tompkins had been ill for sew
eral months as the result of a peculiar
form of paralysis which attacked his
entire body and made him practically
helpless. He was alternately better and
worse, and several times it was thought
he could live but few hours.
Judge Tompkins was born in Clay
ton, Ala, in 1916, and at the age of 16
organized a company to take part in
the Civil War His father objected to
his taking command, but at the age of
IS he entered the Confederate service
and remained throughout the war. He
practiced law for a short time in Mem
phis and then moved to Savannah,
where he was the law partner of the
late B. A. Denmark He was Judge of
the Superior Court of the Eastern Cir
cult for two terms. and his service in
this capacity during the reconstruction
period is we'll remembered by many
Savannahians now living. He married

DEMOCRATS DECIDE ON FILIBUS-

Republicans Have it Arranged to

Caucus TO Perfect Their Plans or
CampaiGn-How They Expect to
Fight.
Washington, Feb. 25.-The Demo-
Gratis of the House have called a eau
Gus for tomorrow morning to act upon
the filibustering programme which the
Democratic leaders have decided upon
for the remainder of the session.
Yesterday. when the majority of
Elections Committee, No. presented
their report in favor of unseating Mr..
Butler of Missouri, whose seat is be-
cratic leaders, at the request of the
Democrats of the Missouri delegation,
served notice on the Republican lead
ers that if an attempt was made to
call up the case for action they would
do everything in their power to block
the wheels of legislation until March
4. No reply was given. but truce was
patched up during the afternoon, upon
the understanding that a response
would be given this afternoon.
Shortly before adjournment to-day
Speaker Henderson notified Mr. Rich
ardson, the Democratic leader. that
the case would be called up to-mor-
row. Thereupon the call for the DEM
ocratic caucus was issued.
The Democrats are organizing for a
fight to a finish. While their action
probably will not jeopardze any of
the appropriation bills, if they stick to
their programme of demanding a roll
call on every proposition and insisting
upon the presence of a quorum, they
can greatly embarrass the Republicans
and defeat many minor measures
which would otherwise pass.

OWNERSHIP BY CITIES
Discussed at "a Convention Held in
New York.

New York, Feb. 25.-The convention
on municipal ownership and fran
chises, which is to continue for three
days, opened here to-day. There was
a good attendance and the programme
gives promise of some interesting dis
cussions on municipal topics.
Papers prepared by Robert P. Por-
ter, director of the eleventh census;
Robert Donald, editor of the Municipal
Journal, London, and by Charles j.
Yerkes, were read by the secretary.
C. r. Bellamy, general manager of
the municipal street railways in Liver
pool, spoke on municipal ownership
He said:
There are two forms of profit at
tending a municipal understanding;
the profit that results to the individual
by reason of increased facilities or bet
ter articles at lower rates, and the
profit that stands out as a net balance
after all financial obligations have
been met The latter is unimportant
and the first is inconsiderable; but
both are substantial under municipal
management.
THE municipalization Of tramways
in large towns can be carried out with
perfect security to the great and last
ing advantage of the whole commu-
nity.''

BUILDING BONES.
OF Great Importance That Children
Have Proper Food.

A child will grow up with weak and
small bones or strong and sturdy
frame, depending on the kind of food
given.
That's why feeding the youngsters
is of such great Importance. The chill
dren do not select the food-the re-
sponsibility rests with the parent or
guardian, or with you if you select the
food for boy or girl.
The scientific selection of this food
should begin as early as possible.
That's when the delicate little plant
needs the tenderest care. A we'll
known lady of Calistoga, Cal, says
about two years ago my little niece
was taken sick. When medical aid
was called one physician pronounced
the case curvature of the spine; an
other called it softening of the bones,
and gave but little hope of her recov-
cry. For weeks she had been falling
before her parents thought it anything
but trouble from her teething.
+She had been fed on mushes and
soft foods of different kinds, but at
last her stomach could retain scarcely
anything. At this time she had be-
come a weak little skeleton of hui
mainly that could not much more than
stand alone.
1.-The doctors changed her food sew
eral times until finally she was put
on Grape-Nuts which she relished
from the first and ate at almost every
meal and her recovery has been Won
derful. She has been gaining ever
since In strength and weight.
"She has eaten dozens of packages
