JAPANESE ARMY Suffers.
The Canteen Follows Closely in the
Wake of. the Moving
q. Troops. -

+. One who was with the Japanese
army in Manchuria for six months
says: "Old foreign campaigners re.
marked in the field that no army prob
ably ever had SO many canteens in it's
wake. When the army was not
marching there was always a canteen
or two not far to the rear of every
division. When it settled down to
recuperate after battle canteens
were quickly established in Manchu
houses. These carried cigarettes,
writing paper, postcards, beer, imita-
ton brandy, imitation whisky, imita-
ton port, imitation sherry, sake and
sometimes Manila cigars.
Japanese are keen traders. Not
200 feet back of the Nanshan battery
one day in the seven-day battle of the
Shaho there was a Japanese peddler
selling cigarettes, Chinese sweetcakes,
rice and beer to the reserves. During
the same battle the canteens were
never more than three miles back OF
the front line of trenches.
AS the japanese soldiers pay is
only $1.36 a month and the army saw
ing banks had, considering that,
phenomenal deposits, there was not
much spending money in the army.
A bottle Of beer cost ten cents and
packet of cigarettes about three
cents. .. -.
Whenever there was triing bat
tie the commander-in-chief would or
der sake distributed as ration. On
the mikado's birthday a year ago one
extra double packet of cigarettes was
distributed to each man in the field.
This cost the emperor more than $751;
900. Otherwise when the distribution
was possible ten cigarettes day went
with the regular ration.
"One day in an American periodical
received at camp there was a solemn
poem celebrating the abstinence of
the Japanese from drink.
This caused concern among the
Japanese officers, who disliked the
emphasis laid upon the difference be-
tween their, army and European
army and the commissary general
told the foreign observers:
p "'Our soldiers like drink as well as
any other soldiers. Sometimes they

AS matter of fact, though the peas
ant at home has a hard enough time
to supply himself with food, he is not
more averse than other people to
strong liquor once he learns the taste
of it. Many man will go home from
the campaign with tastes he never
had before. The manufacture of beer
is still young industry in Japan. but
from the time the process was import
ed it has grown to enormous proper
lions. Headquarters, even battalion
headquarters in underground bomb
proof trenches, were always supplied
with beer or sweet wine. Marshal
Oyama liked sweet champagne. The
strategist of the war, Gen. Kodema,
drank claret with every meal"

STRIKE IS SETTLED
HARD COAL OPERATORS AND
MINERS REACH AGREEMENT.
ALL OLD EMPLOYEES ARE TAKEN BACK
No Discrimination Shown in Rem
ployment and Award of Strike
Commission to Be Continued for
Another Three Years Term.

After carrying on negotiations for
nearly three months, the sub-commit-
tee representing the anthracite mine
workers and operators of eastern
Pennsylvania have agreed to continue
the award of the strike commission for
another three years, or until March 81,
1909, and the men will return to work
as soon as practicable. All miners
who have not committed violence
against persons or property will be re-
eliminated against because of any &C.
tivity he may have taken in the strike
movement. The agreement is subject
to the ratification of the tri-district
convention of mine workers at Scran-
ton, but there is not the slightest
doubt that the delegates will approve
the action of their representatives
This outcome of a dispute which
threatened to develop into long, bit
ter struggle and paralyze a great in
dustry, was looked upon with consid-
cradle satisfaction by the coal presi-
dents, as the agreement entered into
is their first proposition made early in
March in reply to the mine workers
original demands.
The miners had little to say regard
ing the agreement, except that it was
the best they could get. They pointed
out, however, that the, agreement en-
tered into is the first general agree
ment that has ever been signed be-
tween operators and miners, and they
look upon it as a step forward in their
endeavor to have regular agreements
with their employers.
While the compact entered into was
predicted last week the agreement was
not reached without a final struggle
on the part of the miners to get some
thing more. President Mitchell, in
stating to the operators the action of
the Scranton convention asked that
the proposed agreement be made for
two years. In arguing for the two
year term he said the cost of living
might increase considerably in three
years, and that other changes in the
mining industry might come that
would make the present wage scale
unfair to the men. The operators in
their reply said they felt that any con-
tingency that might arise was COW
cred by the award of the strike COM
mission, and they concluded by asking
that the award be continued for three
years. This was then agreed to.
In taking up the question of dis
elimination against some of the men,
it was the intention Of the mine own
ers to take back only such men as
they choose to re-employ, but Presi-
dent Mitchell contested this point so
strongly that the operators withdrew

INCIDENTAL INSOMNIA.
Sleep May Be Wooed by Taking q
Series Of Deep Inspir-
atoms.

1t commonly happens that persons
otherwise apparently in good health
find difficulty in sleeping without a
break, their nights rest being inter-
rupted by turns of wakefulness; after
falling asleep for an hour or two they
awaken-a modified or incidental in
somnia takes the place of normal re-
pose, says a correspondent of the Lon
don Lancet. l believe, and l suggest,
that this may be due to a disturbance
of the equilibrium of the cerebral cir
culation. The cause of the disturbance
may be various. 1 do not propose to
enter into the question of cause, but
have in many instances successfully
counteracted the result by forced in
spiratory movements by assisting and
encouraging the return flow of blood to
the heart; by rapid and thorough ex.
pansion of the chest cavity, by the
vacuity produced, the blood in the
great veins of the neck and upper thor
ak is sucked in and fastened on to it's
ultimate destination.
The large serrati muscles (costo-
scapulares) are more especially called
on for this duty. The serratus, by it's
hindermost attachment to the pos
terror border of the scapula, as
muscle of extraordinary" inspiration,
requires for it's action in this ca
pacity that the scapula should be
steadily and firmly held to the spine
by the muscles allocated to this end
in other words, by the shoulders be-
ing vigorously held backward. The
deep breathing thus carried out for
s, - or Is inspirations usually suf-
fees to induce the wished for somno-
lence. Anyway, it is an experiment
easily tried and without risk.
The influence of respiratory move
ments is demonstrated by the effect OF
prolonged and forced exploratory ac-
ton. The impeachment to the return
flow of blood is easily to be observed
when a vocalist with an uncovered
neck is singing a long sustained high
note; the external jugular veins will
be seen in their course across the
sterno- mastoid muscle in state of
extreme distension, accompanied by
congestion OF the veins of the head
and face, Indicating hindrance to the
blood current toward the heart.

on President Roosevelt's message, W.

it may be regarded as the presidents

Mr.. Bryan complains that what the
president says on the subject Of gov
eminent by Injunction will not be
satisfactory to the laboring men, or
to those who respect the right of
trial by jury. The presidents stand
on child labor is commended, as Is
also the position he takes on the
eight-hour day law and the right of
the people to critieise a Judge. "Ha
pays deserved tribute to the prog
ress OF the Japanese nation" says
Mr.. Bryan. There will be general
disappointment at the war-like tone
of his message where he discusses the
army and the navy. He speaks of
the navy as the surest guarantor OF
peace which this country possesses.
Shame upon the chief executive that
he should place an instrument of
brute force above the nations sense
Of justice as guarantor of peace"
