Appetizers,

We all know how an appetizer acts,
but do we know why? A famous Ger.
man physician says that hunger is
caused by lack of blood in the stom-
ach. That lack acts on special
nerve which is branch of the nerves
of the tongue. Therefore, when spice
or sharp acid is applied to the tongue.
it stimulates the nerve to action, and
those pricks and spurs to appetite are
not merely the qualification Of cranky
notions" but response to natural
demands. 1t Is, therefore, scientific
fact that those foods which bite the
tongue. which give relish, in short
IRE the best appetizern.

INQUIRY LOOKING TO
BETTER COAST RATE

Washington, May 9.-On its own ini-
tiative, the interstate commerce com
mission today instituted an important
proceeding against the Chicago &
Northwestern, Union Pacific, Oregon
Short Line, Oregon Railroad & Navi-

cific Railway Company. Some time
ago an informal complaint reached the
commission reciting that there was no
satisfactory through route and joint
rates for the carriage of passengers
over the lines of the railways between
Chicago and points in the Pacific
northwest. Portland, Ore, and Seat
tie, Wash, are specifically named.
The commission has cited the defend
ants to appear and answer the allie
cations, with a view to establishing
a system of through routes and joint
rates for passengers on all OF the diff
ferent lines.

Movement dying Naturally.
Shanghai, May 9.-The Chinese boy
colt of Japanese goods, which came
about as result of the Tatsu Maru
case, will soon die a natural death.
The movement was started by the
Cantonese merchants, who endeavored
to carry the propaganda into the var
ious parts of China by sending urgent
kilograms asking the residents to join
the boycott. This movement did not
succeed on account of the strong posi-
ton taken by the viceroys, who took
severe steps to prevent its growth.
This attitude by the viceroys undoubt-
edly was result of Japanese pressure
upon China.
