OPERATION AVOIDED.
EXPERIENCE OF MISS MERKLEy
She Was Told That an Operation Was
Inevitable. How She Escaped Il

When physician tells woman suf
fering with ovarian or womb trouble
that an operation is necessary, the very
thought of the knife and the operating
table strikes terror to her heart, and
our hospitals are full of women coming
for ovarian or womb operations.

There are cases where an operation
is the only resource, but when one con-
siders the great number OF cases OF
ovarian and womb trouble cured by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Cop-
pound after physicians have advised
operations, no woman should submit to
one without first trying the Vegetable
Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass, for advice, which is free.
Miss Margret Merkley of 2T5 Third
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Loss Of strength, extreme nervousness
shooting pains through the pelvic organs,
bearing down pains and cramps compelled
me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after

trouble and liberation and advised an opera

Takahashi Tells Of Japan's Next
Move in the Education of
China-No Loans Needed.

Toxic, Aug. 31.-11 a.m.-The pub
lie continues to be without information
regarding the agreement of the peace

The terms Of jeace are not known
here. especially the. conditions con
corning the island of Saghalien and the
amount of reimbursement.
Despite the lack of information many
people are convinced that the Japan
csc government has made substantial
concessions. and already are CRITICIZE
ing and objecting.
Unless the terms prove to be better
than were anticipated, it is certain
that the compact will prove unpopu.
lar and will be bitterly assaulted by the
press and by the diet, which is expected
to meet in special session shortly.
The radical elements are asserting
that cabinet changes are inevitable.
The mass of the people is not moved.
There is a feeling Of great relief
that hostilities have ended and that
the men of the great army will return
home, be disbanded and re-enter the
walks of peace. This feeling, However,
is without public manifestation. There
have been no professions, no display Of
flags or other marks Of popular jollifi-
cation.
The capital city continues normally
quiet and reports from turnout the en-

TAKAHASEII'S VIEWS
No Loans Needed-Education Of China
2 Comes Next.

London, Aug. 31.-Koretiyo Takaha-
shi, the financial commissioner of
Japan, today said:
"The Japanese government, in pros
ecuting the war, never had in mind
the question of having to depend on
prepared itself for any emergency, and
at the present moment there is no less
than 5,000,000 untouched in Lon
don, Germany and the United States.
"This being the case, I see no neces-
sity for the issue Of a new loan. Had
peace not been concluded, my govern
ment would have raised an internal
loan, for 500, 100000 for the prosecu-
ton Of the war. This was the plan at
the time the conference met.
IT consider that the present ) re-
sources Of Japan are ample for clear
ing up the war and meeting the incl
dental expenses thereby involved. So,
if Japan has in view new plan for
the issue Of a fresh loan it will be for
the purpose Of converting a previous
loan bearing higher interest. I have
not heard that my government has any
such Intention.
when questioned regarding the con-
ditions Of peace, Mr.. Takahashi con.
tinued:
"All far-seeing Japanese will hail
with satisfaction the conclusion of
peace, altho there must be feeling Of
general regret that Russia did not dis
play a more reasonable attitude in
recognizing that Japan's terms were
not only reasonable but very moderate.
'In the circumstances, all Japanese
who take a broad-minded view of the
situation must recognize that the de-
cision of their emperor was the wisest
possible Had the government insisted
on al indemnity, it is clear that the
war would have continued.
"The objects for which this war
was waged already have been more
than achieved, and to continue the war
not have been worthy of the Japanese
nation. I do not share the view that
this is a patched-up peace, or that
fresh conflicts are likely to ensue. Such
q contingency has been amply provided
for by the new Anglo-Japanese ALI
ance'' -

earliest developments in the far east
In the education of China by western
methods. This has already commenced.

The question of the ultimate posses

which are thought to threaten Sweden.
These are located at Fredriksten, near
Fredrikhavn, at Orje and Dingsrud
farther north and at Kohgsvinger, near
the railroad from Stockholm to Chris
