KANSAS GASOLINE JUST AS GOOD.
Likely That Nebraska Will Amend
Law to Admit Product for Sale.

The people of Nebraska are clamoring
for Kansas gasoline. but they cannot
get it now. The Nebraska law fixes
test that Kansas gasoline cannot pass.
The law was framed to help out the
gasoline from Pennsylvania. But it will
likely be amended at the coming session
of the Nebraska legislature so that
Kansas gasoline can be sold in that
state Mr.. Allen, state oil inspector of
Nebraska has been here investigating
the burning qualities of Kansas gaso-
line and he says that while it doesn't
test as high as eastern gasoline it burns
lust as well, contains just as many heat
units and there is no reason why 1t
should be barred in Nebraska. He will
urge his state to wipe out the discrimi-
nation. The admission of Kansas gaso-
line there, he says, Will stimulate COM
petition and the people will be able to
buy it cheaper.

London. Nov 28.-The reported
agreement between the United States
and Japan for the maintenance of the
status quo in the Pacific and the guar

given a prominent place in the after
noon papers of London, and is clearly
considered to be of great Importance.

between the United States and Japan.
Will Act Together.
Washington, Nov. 2S.-Despite Off
cial retfcence, information from re-
liable sources has been obtained of an
agreement of far-reaching Importance
between the United States and Japan
covering the policies of the two coun-
tries of the Pacific. The agreement is
based on the idea of encouraging and
defending free and peaceful CONNER
cial development in that ocean.
1t contains not only a mutual guar
antee to respect each others terri
torial possessions there, but defines the
China binding each to defend by every
peaceful means China's independence
and integrity and ito give equal COM
rrlercial opportunity in the Chinese
empire to all nations.
But more important still, the agree
ment iii the event of complications
Threatening the status quo, binds the
United states and Japan to consult
each other with view of acting
together.
This agreement has been drawn up
in the form of a declaration and con-
sists of five articles, of which the fol-
lowing is a faithful description:
The first article gives expression to
the wish of the two governments to
encourage the free and peaceful de-
velopment of their commerce in the
Pacific. The second is a mutual dis
claimer of an aggressive design and
contains also a definition of the policy
of each governme nt, both as directed
to the maintenance of existing condi-
tions in the Pacific and the defense
of the principle of equal opportunity
for commerce and industry in China.
The third article contains a statement
of the consequent firm" reciprocal
resolution of each government to re-
spect the territorial possessions in the
Pacific of the other.
IN the fourth article the United
States and japan express their deter

LYDIA e. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for Woman'S ills that the
world has ever known
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmotheRS they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years ia
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia Z. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
"Compl=te restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public
sIFor twelve years had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.

physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
