JAP COOLIES CREEP IN.
Go to San Francisco and Reship to
British Columbia, Then
They Slip Over Line.

Under the regulations covering the
entrance into this country of Japanese
laborerS, there is no way of prevent
ing the Japanese from Honolulu trans
shipping at San Francisco for British
Columbia. 1t is evident from inquiries
that have been made by officials of this
government, that the Japanese, to-
whom the Japanese government issues
passports to Mexico or the Hawaiian
islands, have no intention Of remain
ing there. Their destination, as the
laborers themselves have admitted on
| crossexamination, is the United States.
Recently several hundred Japanese
| laborers were Intercepted in Mexico
as to their intentions. Every one of
them said he expected sooner or
later to reach this country. Some of
them were in serious financial straits.
They were awainting opportunity to
get across the border into this cOun-
try. The same is true of Japanese
who are going to British Columbia.
There is no work for them there and
they expect to get into the United
States as soon as possible. The regu-
lations governing the exclusion of
Chinese laborers do not apply to the
Japanese laborer.
When Chinese are shipped in transit
through the United States to another
country, a photograph is taken of each
individual and the railroad or steam
ship company carrying him is required
to give the government a bond to
prevent his escape. 1t is different with
the Japanese. No photographs are
taken and no bonds are exacted from
the transportation company. If Jap
anese laborer escapes from the train
or steamship in transit, the govern
ment has no recourse. That many OF
them do take advantage of the chance
offered them to get into this country
! is known officially, but there is nc
! way under the regulations to prevent
J them embracing the opportunity.
J Commissioner Sargent declines tc
, discuss the subject, but it is known
that Secretary Straus of the depart

The Evolution of
Household Remedies

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is the natural outgrowth of tie
old time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, Bit
tiers, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, COM
pounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apothecary or the fam
lily doctor. Such remedies as picra,
which was aloes and quassia, dissolved
in apple brandy. Sometimes hop
tonic, made of whiskey. hops and Bit
ter banks. A score or more of popular,
homemade remedies were thus COM
pounded, the formulate for which were
passed along from house to house,
sometimes written, sometimes verbally
communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, inn
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these home made remedies, would take
it UP, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs fer the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A
MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old time remedies. 1t was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before il
was offered to the public for sale. DR.
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed i
for his neighbors and his patients. Thu
sale of it increased, and at last he es
tablished a mandatory and furnished
it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in great many eli
matte ailments, such as coughs, colds
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrha
diseases generally. THOUSANDS o.
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED TIL
USE OF PERNUA and its value i
the treatment of these ailments. The
have learned to trust and believe in Dl
Hartman's judgment, and to rely o
his remedy, Peruna.

CHINESE IN DISTRESS.
Conditions Reported From Four Fam
inc Stricken Centers

inc Stricken Centers.
Shanghai, April 19-The following
are extracts from reports just re,
ceived of conditions in four famine
centers:
Yaowan-The famine is growing
worse. Children in great numbers are
dying.
Suchien-Almost out Of supplies.
Need large amounts Immediately to
continue relief commenced.
Singkiangpu-Many dying. Must de-
crease relief work unless larger ship
ments of supplies are received.
LuI1iawetz-The whole country is in
the deepest distress. Refugees who
went south hoping to find relief are
returning empty handed. There are
professions of people with wheelbar-
rows, transporting their doors, tables,
beds and cupboards to market to be
sold for almost nothing. Hundreds of
men and women are seen in the fields,
scratching out roots and scanty blades
of grass. Hundreds of trees have been
stripped of their bark from the roots
to the tips of the highest branches
for use as food. The majority of the
population are living on wild roots
etc., which is causing disease.
For Their Relief.
A contribution of $4,000 was re
ceived one day this week from the
Christian Herald of New York by the
American National Red Cross to be
applied to the relief of the famine
sufferers in China. The amount, to
gether with $4,000 received by the Rec
Cross from contributors throughout
the country, was cabled to China. Thi;
remittance makes 100000 in money
that has been forwarded from this
country for Chinese famine relief.
