CHINA READY TO BUY.
Fine Chance for American Goods in
the Celestial Kingdom.

New York, Oct. 22-Following the re-
port of special agent who personally
Investigated conditions in China and
the far east as a representative of one
OF the largest wholesale dry goods
houses in this country, it is probable
that America will make important trade
extensions in that populous territory.
He found that the Chinese were will
ing to purchase from American houses
and that the latter produce MANY goods
which the Orientals can probably use.
The trouble in the past, according
to this special investigation, was that
American houses seeking business thera
had no pei sona1 representatives in the
field. The Germans did have such rep
resentatives and they made friends
with the Chinese and have profited by
1t. The report declares that an enor-
nous business can be done through
branch houses of American industries
established in China, Siam an L the
Philippines.

LIFE SPAN LENGTHENS.
Scientist Says Average. VIII Be Raised
to $50 Years

New York. Oct. 22.-The normal
span of human life is $50 years. ac-
cording to a remarkable study by
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale. which
has just been published by the Ma
tional Conservation commission at
Washington. Prof. Fisher shows that
the length of mans existence is
steadily growing both in this country
and Europe with the progress Of
science, sanitation and social better
ment and declares that the span of
$50 years will not long be impossible
of attainment.
The Investigations by Metchinikoff
are quoted by Prof Fisher to show
that the average normal span should
be $50 years. Mammals generally, he
points out, live about five times their
growing period. Mans period OF
growing is thirty years and according
to that he should live for $50 years.
The present average duration of life
is stated as 80 years. Two cases of
persons who lived to great ages are
Drakenberg, a Norwegian. who died
at the age of LAG years and Mrs.
Mary L. Wood of Portland, Ore, both

1--WE have but one peril, common to

we learn that lesson? Surely il ought

citizen, not alone to take to heart the
thought that he will be loyal to the
ideals of the democracy, as all good
citizens should. but to make part of

Panama Canal Open In Six Years.
John Barrett, the director of the In

1.-The Panama canal will be opened
to the worlds traffic in 1915. Of that

my experience as United States minis
ter to Panama in 1904 and 1905,

MAID IS MONARCH.
Chicago Professor Says Hand That
Rocks Dustpan Is Hand That Rules.

Chicago, Oct 22.-American fami-
lies are under the subsection of the
maid of all work, according to Dean
Sophonisba Beckinridge of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, who lectured on 1.-THE
Modern Household yesterday at the
university. The hand that dusts the
furniture is the hand that rules the
house, Dean Beckinridge believes.
1.-THE modern housewife employs her
maid more for the purpose of main
tanning a respectable. appearance than
for services rendered. she said.
women seem to think they are
obliged to have servants whether they
need them or not. It is simply a ques-
ton of good form.
sit is the general impression, or at
least the traditional belief that the
mistress is stronger than her maid. In
theory and before the law, the mis-
tress is the superior, but in actual
practice the maid holds the reins of
the household"

AMERICAN CAPITAL ABROAD.

Harbors, Etc.

Washington Oct. 22.-American capt
tai is being invested heavily abroad in
the construction of railroads according
to reports from consular agents of the
United States. There has just been
granted to an American syndicate the
right to construct 1.243 miles of rail
road line in Turkey, extending from
Twas to Monsul and beyond and touch
ing the towns of Harpul, Arghans,
Diarbekir, Bitlis and Van. The syndi-
cste will also construct branch line
to the Mediterranean with a terminus
at Jenmutilak on the gulf of Alexan-
Gretta.
Inspired by the success of this syn
dictate other combinations OF capital ar.
seeking other concessions in Turkey.
These concessions include the ccnstruc-
ton and operation of railroads, harbors,
telephone and electrical enterprises.
Consul A Donaldson Smith at Patras,

there is to be extended by its American
owners while Consul Linard at Cejba,

Constipation and
Appendicitis
The Latter Usually Caused by the
Former, Which, in Turn, Has
It's Origin i'm Intestinal
INDIGESTION,

Chronic constipation is a disease
which is about as prevalent as dyspep-
STA and Indigestion. Nearly every one
suffers from it occasionally. but there
are millions of people who endure it
habitually. and who are accustomed
to resort to the use of 1axatives and
cathartics daily. zig
Many people seemed to have deve1-
oped perfect mania for taking pills,
and instead of trying to ascertain the
latent cause of the disease, and remov-
ing it by appropriate treatment, they
are content to continue the reckless use
OF laxatives. aperients. drastic cathar-
tics and violent purgatives, until finally
inflammation of the bowels occurs,
which reaches the appendix, and the
result is appendicitis
| In investigating and tracing the
causative factors of constipation and
| its frequent sequel, appendicitis, it has
been noted by physicians that the ma
| jority of cases were preceded and ac-
1 companied by long standing CASTRO
Intestinal indigestion.
| The idea that appendicitis is brought
or by foreign bodies. such as seeds,
ETC., becoming lodged in the appendix,
! is an exploded theory. 1t is now def
nitely known that constipation is the
most prolific cause of this dread dis
ease, while the constipation itself is
previously induced by intestinal indi-
gestion, or amylaeous dyspepsia-the,
/ inability to digest starches-so the re-
lation between cause and effect is readi-
| ly seen and appreciated.
| The absurdity of attempting to cure
constipation by the use of physic should
be apparent to every one. Laxative
drugs and powerful purgatives will new
er cure a disease of this Sort and those
who make frequent or regular use of
them will, sooner or later, set up an
infiammatory condition of the intesti-
nal system.
A. person with first-class digestion
will never be annoyed with chronic
constipation, and when this trouble
does exist. instead of smuggling the
