INTEGRITY OF CHINA
Hays Proposition Accepted
by Russia and Japan.
SCHEME IS NOW AN ASSURED SUCCESS
Acceptance by All Great Powers will
Now Follow NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
VIII BE the Only Part of China
Open to the BeIIiGercnts.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Secretary
Hay has added another to his list of
diplomatic triumphs, and the United
States is once more favored by his
diplomacy to head the nations in a con
current effort to preserve the integrity
of China. Mr.. Hays note to Russia
and Japan urging them to confine hos
tilities within MS small an area MS pos
Sible and to respect the neutrality and
administrative entity of China has
been accepted by Russia as well as by
Japan. and all the nations join the
Washington government in inviting
the combatants to agree to the propo-
Sition.
Mr.. Ju%sserand, the French ambassa-
dor, called upon Secretary Hay at
his residence officially to inform him
Of Frances acceptance, and inferen-
tally it is known that Russia's ac-
Iuiescence will be communicated very
soon. At the Russian embassy no in
timation had been received Of the gov
ernment's probable answer to Secreta-
~ Hays note, but Count Cassini, the
Russian ambassador, will inform Sec
rotary Hay Is 500 as st. Petersburg
advises him.
Acceptance by the powers of the
Washington governments suggestion
will be followed by Il further exchange
of views MS to the practicability of the
suggestion, to the principle Of which
all have given their adherence. AS the
note is of the most general character, it
will be necessary to discuss ut some
length the possibilities it contains. 1t
is generally understood that hostilities
| will lie confined, so far Fas China is
| concerned, to Manchuria, Shanghai
kwan probably marking the western
boundary.
The formal acceptance of the other
powers, it is expected, will follow rap
idly, but the success of the proposition
is assured by the decision of Russia
and Japan to agree to it.

An Easy Way To Do Il.

Mineral. Idaho. April 11.-Mr. d.
5. Colson of this place has something
to say which will be OF interest TO
many men. Mr.. Colson claims to
have found a simple way to get rid of
pains in the back. Sciatica or Rheu-
matism. He has cured himself and
so claims personal experience in proof
of his method.
MIR. Colson says:-
II had awful pains in my hip. They
got SO bad at last that l could hardly
walk. tried several things, but got
no relief till began to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills and | had taken but a
few OF these pills till the pain left
me entirely.
'Dodd,s Kidney Pills certainly did
me lots of good and | consider them
great medicine"
The remedy that cured Mr.. Colson
is the same that has been making
such sensational cures of Bright's
Disease. Diabetes. Dropsy and Rheu-
matism all over the country. The
name of the medicine is Dodd's Kid
ney Pills.

Fish Not a Brain Food.

The idea that fish nourishes the
brain is a popular fallacy, says the
London Lancet. II is doubtful wheth-
er any given food in common use con
tains constituents which have a select
i've action. or the property of minister.
ing to any one part of the body more
than another. 1t is often said that
fish is food which ministers particu-
larly to the needs of the brain because
it contains phosphorus. AS a matter
of fact. fish does not contain 1t in the
free state. The notion that fish con.
tains phosphorus had. no doubt. its ori-
gin in the glowing or phosphorescence
in the lark. This phosphorescence is
due not to phosphorus at all. but to
micro-organisms.

towns. among them being one known
as Wildcat 1t is a government town
site. Everything in the place is the
property of colored people. The peo-
Pile OF no other race are allowed TO
settle there. IL is said by those ac-
quainted with the place that II an oc-
casional white person chances to come
in on business or otherwise the word
is soon passed around to him: White
man. don't let the sun go down on you
here!" A hint is all that is necessary.
Another negro town is Wybark. To-
Gated on the Arkansas river at the

Paper Car Wheels.

In making paper car wheels 100 to
$50 layers are put together with flour
paste and subjected to pressure of
500 tons while at temperature of 120
degrees Fahrenheit. The blocks are
then turned in lathe. slightly larger
than the tire. and the hole is bored for
the castiron center. In turning. the
paper blocks make shaving that re-
semble strips of leather. The average
life of the tire of a paper wheel is
about 100000 miles. That represents
about one and one-quarter inch wear.
The centers do not seem to be affect
ed by service. and they are always
good for renewal of tires unless some
accident happens to them.
