WATCHING EVENTS At HARDIN
UNITED STATES INTERESTED IN
TREATY RIGHTS.
Differences Between Russia and
Chinese Municipal officials Said
to Have Become Acute.

Touching the situation at Harbin,
Manchuria, where the differences between
the Russian and Chinese municipal ad-
ministrations are becoming more acute,
the State Department is watching events
with deep interest.
The administration is anxious that there
shall be a faithful observance of the
provisions Of the treaty OF Portsmouth
to the end that there may be no i'm
pairment Of Chinese territorial integrity
or any denial of her interests there.
The latest feature of the case, the
closing of the Chinese stores and ware
houses at the principal points in the rail-
road zone west of Harbin. Is an incident
with which this government is not yet
acquainted officially.
Ever since Mr.. Fisher. the Amer, IN
consul at Harbn, questioned year :. -
the right Of the Russian director OF me
Chinese Eastern railway to establish a
municipal government. the whole ques-
ton of Russian administration at Har-
bin, with allied matters, has been the
subject of correspondence.
The present situation Is practically a
recrudescence of that of year ago.
when difficulty arose over the applica-
ton of the Russian regulations
Here the view Is held that the ques-
tion is one largely between the Rus
sian and the Peking governments, this
country and other nations being inter-
ested to the extent that the rights of
their citizens shall be protected and that
there shall be no violations of treaty
provisions.

A Lazy Liver

May be only tired liver, or o starved
liver. 1t would be stupid as well as
savage thing to beat a weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver 1t IS
a great mistake to lash 1t with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
DR.. Piercc's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures Of "liver
trouble" by it's wonderful control OF the
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t re-
stores the normal activity OF the stomach,
increases the secretions OF the blood-mak-
ing glands, clcanses the system from pol
sonous accumulations, and so relieves the
liver OF the burdens imposed upon 1t by
the detection Of other organs.
