MODERNIZING.

Enormous strides have been made toward reform in China. Her army is rapidly being drilled and equipped on Western models; her educational sys- tenn, which in the old days wasted a mans life in useless learning, is be- ing revised; stringent regulations are invoked against the opium habit; mod ern dress is replacing the cumbersome lfeminine-like garments of the men. and the cruel practice of feet-binding among the women is discouraged. But all the news of similar import to China's reform movement pales into insignificance before the announce ment that the empress dowager will step down and out on New Years day. leaving the government of the empire to the emperor and his counselors.
 The Empress Dowager Tse Hi Tuan- yin Kangyi Chaoyu Chuangcheng Shouking Chinhien Chunghi, which is her full name, is one of the most strik- ing figures in Chinese history. rank ing with Lu of the Han and Wu of the Tang dynasties. Her influence has been strongly felt in the empire since in 1853 she became the secondary wife of Heinfang, and presented him with a son. In the war of 1860 she was forced to fly with the emperor and her son to Tartary. and on the return of the court and the establishment of regency. the title of her son was changed and the empress dowager be- anne the paramount power. Supported in 1898 by the reactionaries of the em- pire. who were strongly against any proposed reforms. the empress dow ager dethroned the emperor and be- came the autocrat of China.
 She is now over seventy years old and she no longer has the power-and perhaps has lost the will-to stand out against the wave of western re- form which is sweeping eastward. She has shown but little disposition to adopt the views of the more enlighten- ed among her statesmen, and she rec ognizes that in spite of the Manchu loyalty to the old ideals, the changes are bound to come.
 No one seems to know much about the emperor. who has been kept in abeyance so long. It is not likely. though. that his personality or abilities will be of controlling importance. Chi ma is slowly awakening from her sleep of centuries. She is gradually feeling her strength and realizing her power. The emperor is likely to gain little by the change beyond a greater measure of personal liberty.
 The retirement of the empress dow ager means that the hands of her min isters will be free. and that the men whom England and America educated will at last be permitted to put into force those powers which western civ ilization has taught them how to use. Washington Herald.

A local branch of this association
has been established with the we'll
known real estate firm of Bower &

stockholders in the association.
The advantages to the investor and
borrower are many. The borrower
has the privilege of paying his loan
in small monthly payments or in
larger amounts at any time.
The investor, by making small,
definite monthly payments, acquires
the habit of systematic saving.

Figures Fer 1905 From Two-Fifth
of the Nation Show 56,7!O
Deaths

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The
bureau of the census has just pub
lished it's sixth annual report on NOR
tally statistics, which presents the
figures for the calendar year 1905,
together with revised figures for the
years 1901 to 1904 inclusive. The
compilation of these figures was con-
Quoted under the direction of DR..
Cressy L. Wilbur, the chief Stats
tician for vital statistics.
For the registration area of 1905,
which at the census of 1900 embraced
only about two-fifths of the popula-
ton of the country, the number of
deaths reported was 545, 1913, or 1872
in each 1000 population. The actual
number of deaths was slightly less
year, 551, 1854, but exceeded the num-
Der registered for any other year
since the annual reports were insti-
tuted
The death rate of 1872 per 1000 of
population reported for the United
States in 1905 is lower than that of
| ireland, Germany or Italy, but high
err than that of England or Wales,
Scotland or the Netherlands. For
these countries the rates were as fol-
lows: England and Wales, 1872; the
Netherlands, 1913; Scotland, 15.9;
ireland, III; Germany, 1913; and
Italy, 21.7.
The causes, with their rates, to
which 20 or more deaths per 100,-
600 of population were attributed in
1905, ranked according to number of
deaths per 100000, are as follows:
tuberculosis of lungs. ...... 1852
Pneumonia 1901

ACTS THE SPHINX.

Outwardly, however, the President
has figured little in the financial panic,
since he returned to Washington. In
one of his speeches en- route home he
declared his determination not to re-
cede from his policies because some of
the Wall street and other New York
banks were in trouble. He was be-
sought here on every hand to say some
thing additional To all such requests
he gave a firm refusal. First of all he
wanted everything left in the hands of
Secretary Corte!you, who was familiar
with every phase of the crisis, after
having watched its developments for
months Usually the President is very
accessible to newspaper correspondents
but this. practice was discontinued and
every afternoon when there were news
paper callers the President sent out
word that he had nothing to say. He
also abstained from discussing the
financial situation much with public
men who visited him. AS he stated in
his speeches he does not think that he
is responsible for the panic, attribut-
ing it to reprehensible methods of high
finance.
Naturally he has been more or less

MRS. ELvA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages IN a
voman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these ina
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia

made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty. has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely

the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.

HE LEARNS THINGS.

Mr.. Bacon, it might be explained,
was formerly representative of the
financial house of j. 2. Morgan & Co.
in New York. He talked at length with
Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou be-
fore the latter started for New York
Tuesday night to be on the ground and
to be able to furnish assistance by
dumping millions of government funds
as deposits for the national banks. Mr..
Bacon was also in touch constantly with
Mr.. Morgan who was Fastening to the
relief of the New York banks. From
Mr.. Bacon, therefore, the President was
able to learn speedily the salient points
of the financial situation. He was, of
course, in communication over the long
distance telephone with Mr. Cortelyou.
Later in the evening he talked with
Secretary Root, who understands the
financial and business situation in New
York, and with Postmaster General
Meyer, who is a man of large business
experience.

WHITE HOUSE IS
AGAIN IN FOCUS
Return of Roosevelt From His
Hunting Tour---Third
Term Ghost.
(Mail Special to the Advertiser

mail Special TO the Advertlser.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 25.-
The busy, throbbing days of admin
| istration are now at hand. The pill
grimages of federal politics are arriv-
ing daily The White House Offices are
the Mecca.
President Roosevelt arrived Wednes-
day afternoon from the canebrakes and
from his long and undoubtedly memoir
able tour down the Mississippi valley.
Senators and members, who had been
waiting for a shake of the plum tree
which had not been shaken for several
weeks it might be mentioned, hasten
ed to the city. The President 8 ar
rival-the second entrance he has made
during the autumn. this year into Wash
ington-was all the more interesting
because he came just when banks and
other financial houses were topping in
New York and those of a few other
cities were quaking somewhat on their
foundations.
Therefore the President 9 days have
been busy days, ever since he drove up
under the great port eochere of the
White House and greeted affectionate-
ly Mrs. Roosevelt and the children. He
knew very little about what had been
transpiring in the great outside world
for the two weeks that he lived in the
eanebrakes, searching for bear and 9TH
er game. When he emerged it was to
participate in a speaking and recep-
tion program that filed much of his
time on the way back to Washington.
He had been in town hardly an hour
before he was in conference with peo-
pie who could tell him what had hap
pened. Assistant Secretary of State
Robert Bacon, a warm personal friend
as well as a trusted official, quickly
at the White House offices
and the doors swung back for his adj
mission into the President s office.
