France Fears Japs Are Solution Of
Entente,

Paris.-While political considera.
lions of high order contributed to
the negotiations of the new Franco
Japanese entente, there is no longer
any doubt that the substantial quid pro
quo given by France was the promise
of access to the French market for fu-
ture Japanese loans. Japan did not
need a French guarantee for Korea
and Formosa, but Japanese guarantee
for Indo-China was worth a great deal
to France, and she was willing to pay
the price demanded.
Japan, according to the confidential
statement made by some of her high
est representatives in Europe, will
need something like 5000, ,O0O, 900
francs ($1,000,000,O0 within the next
few years to refund her high loans at
a lower rate of interest and furnish
capital for industrial and commercial
development planned in Manchuria.
While the money markets of the
world are at present unfavorable to flo
tations, Japan has succeeded in insur,
ing the assent of the French govern
ment to the placing of her loans when
the opportunity arrives.

Three Fatally Hurt in Wreck.

Trinidad, Colo.-One of the worst
wrecks which the Santa Fe railroad
has experienced in months occurred
near Earl, small station twenty
miles east of here, when PASSENGER
train No. s. eastbound, went into the
ditch. Seven coaches were derailed
and the track torn up for a distance
of some 400 feet. 1t is reported that
one brakeman was killed and a num-
ber Of passengers injured, three ia
tally. The latter. two men and one
woman, were brought to the hospital
In this city, instead of the Santa Fe
hospital at La Junta, as it was impos-
sible to get around the wreck.
The two men injured were in the
smoking car. which was the coach
bearing the brunt of the shock, and
they were jammed between two seats.
The woman was riding in the chair
car and was thrown forward against
another seat, crushing her chest and
injurfng her internally The three are
unconscious and unable to give their
names.
Fifteen other passengers were moro
or less injured. but were able to con.
tinue their journey.
Spreading rails are given as the
cause Of the wreck.

WENT TO TEA
And It Wound Her Bobbin.

Tea drinking frequently affects peo.
pie as badly as coffee. A lady in Sails
bury, Md, says that she was COM
PEELED to abandon the use of coffee a
good many years ago, because it
threatened to ruin her health and that
she went over to tea drinking, but
finally. she had dyspepsia SO bad that
she had lost twenty-five pounds and
no food seemed to agree with her.
She further says: "As this time 1
was induced to take up the famous
food drink, Postum, and was SO much
pleased with the results that / have
never been without it since. I com.
menced to improve at once, regained
my twenty-five pounds of flesh and
went some beyond my usual weight.
II know Postum to be good, pure,
and healthful. and there never was an
article, and never will be, believe,
that does SO surely take the place of
coffee, as Postum Food Coffee. The
beauty Of it all is that 1t is satisfying
and wonderfully nourishing. feel as

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re.
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence of Gov.
Hughes. the New York Legislature de-
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. It was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms. with proportionate
benefits to pOlicyholders, and that it
should be given thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the mismanagement OF the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder. while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze of the big companies and the ex-
cessive cost OF securing new business
was the most extravagant evil of the
old managements. Under the new
regime the cost of new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society in its report
for 1906 was a strong argument
against meddling with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving Of over 100000 in expenses.
besides an increase In the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios OF the
Equitable's total expenses to its total
income was 1920 in 1904, 1885, in
1905. and only 14.4S% in 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy
holders in 1906 amounted to $7,2S9 ,734,
which was an increase of more than
90 over 1905.
While the Equitable made better
showing than any other big company.
all reported radical economies and un-
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave. the law sub
stantially as It stands,
