FIND EXCLUSION TOO SEVERE.
Senate Committee Objects to Hit Bill

Senate Committee Objects to Hit Bill
Regarding Chinese.
Washington, April 23.-The general
deficiency bill reported by the senate
committee on appropriations carries
$11, ,342, 146, an increase as it passed
the house of $94O, ,525. II contains as
an amendment the Hit Chinese exclu-
sion bill, which was accepted by the
house before the bill was passed. The
Hit bill was introduced in the senate
by Penrose and referred to the commit
tee on foreign relations. In this COM
mittee the discovery, it is said, has
been made that the bill will affect the
introduction of Chinese coolie labor in
to the Panama canal zone, and to a
considerable extent affect the immi9ra-
tion to this country of Coreans and Fill
ipinos and the deportation from the
United States, Hawaii, Porto Rico and
any territory, ''subject to the jurisdic-
tion of the United States of any person
held to come within the definition of
the words "Chinese PERSONS" and OBJ
ing effects of the bill.
When the senate committee ON for
eign relations began consideration today
of the Chinese bill it was suggested
that the bill might be of wider scope
than was at first thought. Sections
defining the words "Chinese person"
were called to notice, and it was sug-
gested that these might be held to re-
late to Filipinos, Coreans and others
not intended to be included, and that
the purpose of the bill might be in con
f1ict with the existing treaties. It was
late when the discovery was made, and
finally the members of the committee
concluded that no action should be
taken on the Penrose bill in view of
the fact that the Hit amendment was
reported in the deficiency bill, but that
the matter might be discussed in open
senate. 1t is understood an attempt
will be made to amend the measure be-
fore the deficiency bill passes the
senate.

Sanitary Straw Hog House.

Sanitary Straw Hog House.
The best hoghouse on earth is made
by setting two rows Of fence posts one
foot in ground and four feet apart one
way, and one post length apart, the
other way, SO posts may be used for
stringers on top. Put cord wood cross
wise on top of stringers and build
straw pile over all, leaving hole in one
end big enough for hog to enter.
They will all follow in and complete
interior arrangement of house to suit
their hoggish artistic taste.
This house will always be dry and
comfortable and will save many a
heated argument with the hired man
apout cleaning out and bedding the
hogs. Hogs can be fed out of doors,
or a board feeding room may be built
at one end of stack with door be-
tween. In summer, pull out posts and
burn straw hoghouse, haul out refuse
and build new each year. Then you
will have healthy hogs, avoid mango

Farm Notes.

Farm Notes.
An important item in stock feeding
is regularity.
Long feet are frequently the cause
of lameness in horses.
1t is waste of feed to give more
than an animal can digest.
With all stock, food may. be wasted
by giving too much or too little.
Sheep, when being fattened, should
have protection from wet and cold.
With all stock, there is no single
feed that possesses only good quail
ties.
Early pampering snould be avoided
If mature and healthy development is
desired.
The sheep raiser who is not progress
sive cannot expect to attain perfection
in his calling.
Labor, even on the farm, is most ef-
fective when directed by intelligence
and thought
To injudicious feeding may be cred
tied large amount Of the fatality
among hogs.

of nourishing food such as will cause
a healthy growth without too much

Mrs. Hugh Fraser, whose books on
Japan have been subject to a renewed
demand on account of the war, has
written a new novel which is said to
treat of japanese life, and which will
be published soon by Dodd, Mead &
Co. She is sister of Marion Craw-
ford, and her husband Is a promi-
nent English official During her resi-
dence in japan, where he held an i'm
portant post, she had exceptional op-
portunities to study the country and
the people, and her two volumes of
letters from Japan are full of inter
esting things.
The plot of 'violett," the Baroness
Won Hutten's new novel, viewed IN
one light, is an Interpretation of the
mind of a man of genius in music
when bafffed by his senses and by cir
cumstances. 1t is a story which will
have meaning of its own for one
who understands music, or has ever
known the difficulty of expression In
art which comes from a discord be-
tween the life of the spirit and that
of the flesh The close relation of
truth to ones self to the consumma-
tion of ideals in art is not one of the
least interesting elements in the plot
of this clever but strangely unusual
story.

FOREIGN VIEW OF
AMERICAN ART.

New York, March Sit may not be
hattering to the American self es-
TEEN, but 1t is quite true, that we are
still far from having won much respect
from our cousins across the ocean as
to our appreciation of art, either in
picture, sculpture or music.
No matter how politely a visiting
foreigner may conduct himself while
being shown our tall buildings, our art
galleries and our opera houses, he still
has curious contempt for all our
achievements save those of a mechan-
ical nature.
1T is true" said one of these visitors
to the republic day or two ago. that
you have the most remarkable build
ings, the longest bridges and the most
complete electrical appliances in the
world, but your buildings are not ar
tistic, your bridges are ugly, and
your electrical appliances administer
to nothing but your personal comfort.
You can never build up a real national
spirit until you have art and the love
for 1T in its true sense, and you are ap-
parently making no progress in that
direction. You are a nation of million
aires and those who want to be million
aires. Your millionaires are good on
ly for one thing; they can pay for art,
but they have to get it from Euro
peans, and they do not pay for it be-
cause they really appreciate it, but
simply because, as you would phrase 1t.
they wish to throw q bluff"
All of which is very sad, IL true.

NEVER DREAM
But There's a Way to Find Out.

So many say: why / never dream
ed coffee was the cause of the trou-
ble." Wichita woman made test
as follows: II had for years been
troubled with severe nervous head
aches that evidently came from my
stomach but 7 did not dream that my
favorite coffee had anything to do
with it.
Il used to suffer terrible pains in
the region of my heart and these gave
me great uneasiness, for an attack
would leave me breathless and weak.
II drank coffee three times day
and thought / could not do without it
and as my mothers family nearly all
died suddenly of heart disease
thought the pains around my heart
showed that I had inherited organic
weakness of the heart. Two years
ago husband talked it over and con-
cluded that coffee might be aggravat
ing my heart trouble, so / stopped
drinking coffee and took Postum Food
Coffee, still making coffee for the rest
of the family.
The result was a quick disappear
ance of the pains around my heart.
NV headaches disappeared and of late
I have hardly known what headache
is. while my general health is better
than ever before in my life. My fam
lily soon began to notice what Postum
did for me and then my eldest boy
asked me to make Postum for him in
stead of coffee, as ne thought coffee
made him nervous and interfered with
his studies.
Then my oldest daughter who is
bookkeeper made the same request
and to cut a long story short, my
whole family now drink Postum in
place of coffee and much prefer IL to
coffee and even a nephew who came
on visit TO us for month found
such a change in his condition from
drinking Postum in place of coffee
that when he went back home he con-
tinued to drink Postum and induced
his mother and sister TO drink 1t and
In that way the use Of Postum In place
OF coffee has spread among my rela-
tives.
In the case Of everyone that has
made the change there has been
marked improvement In health and

Judge Speer Filed Opinion in Bars
tow-Beckett Land Case.
In the motion made by the heirs
OF Elias Barstow to amend the plead
ings by which they were ordered to
pay $4,000 to Mrs. Goerz, so that they
might recover from her warrantors,
Judge speer in the United States Court
yesterday handed down his decision.
allowing the amendment. In the opin-
ion of Judge Speer the members of the
syndicate which bought the land to
which the heirs have title should be
made to pay the heirs the amount of
profit. In concluding his opinion, Judge
Speer says:
Mrs. Goerz must be paid all of her
outlay with interest. The complainants
would seem entitled to recover the
sum from her warrantors, less the
money they actually paid as the pur-
chase price of the land in controversy.
As they sold to Mrs. Goerz for a sum
largely in excess of that they original
ly paid, ii appears that they will only
lose the profits flowing to them from
speculations in lands TO which the
complainants have title.
This suggestion upon thss point,
however, is only tentatively made, for
upon any and All OF the masters find
ings the parties are entitled II dissat-
ished. to a hearing and decision by this
court"
