JAPANESE IN AMERICA.
They Have Recently Dedicated a
Buddhistic Temple in Honolulu.

One of the questions with which
the government of the United States
will be obliged to grapple this winter
is that of Asiatic immigration. The
fact that Viscount Aoki, the Japan
csc ambassador to the United States,
has been asked by his government to
return home in order to confer with
it regarding the subject serves to
emphasize it as live question. Not
withstanding the clause inserted in
the immigration pill last winter
which it was expected would have the
effect of reducing Japanese immigra-
ton and the steps which Japan is
said to have taken to prevent move
ment of her coolies toward America,
Oriental labor is coming into Canada
and the United States apparently
in as great a volume as before the
passage of the immigration law
Thousands upon thousand have
reached this continent in the course
of the year, and there have been dis
turbances of the peace on both sides
of the border because of the presence
of Asiatic laborers.
A visible evidence of the introduce
ton of a new race of immigrants up
on American soil in goodly numbers
was the dedication at Honolulu last
month of a temple for the use of
the JodO sect OF Buddhists. The
ceremony included a procession of
Japanese boys and girls in carriages
through the principal streets of the
city.
The boys wore deep blue kimonos
with yellow sleeves lined with white
silk, and over these white kimonos
of antique style. On their heads
were Liberty" caps made of a staff
gauze. The dainty little japanese
misses were CARRIED IN purple kimo-
nos, over which were light blue gar
ments of the same sort, but of ar
chaic cut, such as one seldom sees to-
day except in old pictures or in stage
representations. On their heads were
crowns of gilded cardboard be-
spangled with emblems of Buddha.
The children carried lotus stems
bearing pink tipped buds and white
blossoms made of paper.

HUNGRY GERMAN CHILDREN
COMPELLED TO GO TO SCHOOL.
OR FAMILIES SUFFER A FINE.
Charity Organized to Partially Re

dustrial Depression in Empire.

Charity Organized to Partially Re
lieve One of the Hardships of In
dustriaI Depression in Empire.
The industrial depression in Ger
many continues to spread, and the
alarming proportions which it has as
sumed are plainly indicated by the
report made anent the condition of
the public schools in Berlin.
Germany is proud of her record OF
literacy. Education is and has been
for many years compulsory in most
of the German states. BY law all
children are required to attend
school, and this law is rigid1y en-
forced by a fine put upon the par
ents for every day child is absent
from school without legal excuse
AS a result of this law all children
in Germany receive at least pri-
mary education. This is commend
able, but there is another side to
this story that has been brought out
by the recent appeal of the Chill
drens Canteen Society in Berlin.
This is an appeal for aid. The
Children's Canteen Society in Berlin
is organized to furnish soup to chill
dren who are sent hungry to school.
The industrial depression in Germany
has become so great that large
numbeE~of children are being sent to
school without breakfast. The earn
ing capacity of their fathers has been
reduced so that they cannot provide
food for their children, and these
are sent hungry to school, not that
they may learn, but that the law in
it's offended majesty may not visit
a fine upon the suffering families.
The number of these children sent
to school hungry in Berlin is given
at IL, 947.
1t is stated that to provide soup
for these hungry school children dur
ing the winter will cost $35, 900.
This is certainly cheap. To obtain
this money the Berlin city council
is being appealed to, and also the
charitable inclined Doubtless the
required sum will be raised-but
what a commentary is this upon a
country which spends hundreds of
millions for it's army and navy, and
whose emperor during his recent visit
to England is said to have given
$4,000 in tips to the liveried court
servants and flunkeysl
With all the boasts of German su-
periority there seems to be some
large plague spots on that country,
and these hungry school children fed
by charity is one of them.

MAKES LIFE MISERABLE.
Troubles That Keep Half the Dawson
Doctors Busy.

Half of the prescriptions the Daw-
son doctors write are for troubles
that result directly from a weakened
stomach. Strengthen the stomach
muscles, increase the secretion of
gastric juices, and you will find that
common afflictions-indiges with
its headaches, dizziness, depression
of spirits, spots before the eyes, ner-
vousness, sleeplessness and general
debility-have been overcome.
From now on build up the strength
and health of the stomach with Mi
o-na tablets. You will soon find
yourself strong and never know the
meaning of indigestion.
If Mona did not have an unus-
ually curative effect in stomach dis
orders it could not be sold on the
guarantee given by the Dawson Drug
Co. and Peoples Drug Store to re-
fund the money unless it does all
that is claimed for it. They give an
absolute, unqualified guarantee with
every 50-cent box of Mona that
the money will be refunded unless
the medicine cures. They take the
whole risk, and you certainly can
afford TO get Mi-o-na from them on
this plan.
