rying Instructions to All Parts of
Country. Startling Statistics.
In these strenuous days no one
can afford to sit back and wait for
business to come to him. He must
go out and hustle for it. This is
no less true in humanitarian work
than in commercial ventures.
The American Red Cross has al
ways been distinguished by its en-
terprise in making it's efforts to aid
humanity of maximum value. AS
another evidence Of this activity this
association has lately established a
first aid to the injured department
through which it hopes to carry in
struction in this important subject
to all parts of the country. In furth-
erance of this object it has now in
operation a first aid car This car
was donated by the Pullman COM
pany, and has been fully equipped
by the Red Cross with all sorts of
charge of DR.. NJ Whitfield Glasgow
of Birmingham, Ala, who was en-
plOyed for this special work by the
First Aid Department of the Red
Cross. The car was QUILTED at the
Pullman shops in Buffalo, and is now
on the road in Illinois. Its work evil
IDENTITY appeals to the various rail
way officials, as the railways are
hauling it free of charge.
The car will proceed from place
to place, stopping at railway, manu-
featuring and mining Centers where
the best opportunities present them
selves for organizing first aid classes. |
Just as has been done by the Red
Cross in the mining field an attempt
will be made to interest employers, |
and local physicians alike |
so that first aid to the injured in /
will have general support |
and countenance after the car has |
visited a place. Though the Red |
Cross is primarily designed for in i
struction purposes it will also always |
be available when needed for rescue |
work and care of injured in case of |
disaster, as it is fully equipped for |
this purpose.
1t is, perhaps, not generally real
lied how large percentage of
deaths from disease are absolutely
insignificant in numbers as cOmpar-
ed with those from accident. For
example, in the registration area,
which now includes about 55 per
cent of the population of the United
States, the 1909 census statistics
charge to accidents 679 per cent of
all deaths among steam railway en-
ployes between the ages of 25 and
"a. The next most hazardous occu-
patton as shown by these statistics
is that of miners and quarrymen TAX
en- together, in which accidents are
responsible for 61.3 per cent of all
deaths at the same ages. Iron and
steel workers have 28.1 per cent, and
the rate for all manufacturing and
mechanical pursuits taken together
at the same ages is 21.9 per cent.
These are the people which the Red
Cross is trying to reach in a practi-
cal way by means of its first aid
car.

CAUSES % PER CENT OF DISEASE
Advice Concerning Stomach Troubles
and How to Remedy Them.


Do not neglect indigestion, which
leads to all sorts of ills and com
pIications. An eminent doctor once
said that 50 per cent of all the ills
of a human have their origin in a
disordered stomach.
A physician who made a speciality
of stomach troubles, particularly
dyspepsia, after years of study per-
fected the formula from which Rex
all Dyspepsia Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexal Dys-
pepsia Tablets leads us to believe
them to be the greatest remedy that
is known for the relief of acute indi-
gestion and chronic dyspepsia. Their
ingredients are soothing and healing
to the infiamed membranes of the
stomach. They are rich in pepsin,
one of the greatest digestive aids
known to medicine. The relief they
afford is almost immediate. Their
use with persistency and regularity
for a short time brin@s about ces-
sation of the pains caused by stom-
ach disorders.
Rexall dyspepsia Tablets will in
sure healthy appetite, aid digestion
and promote nutrition. AS evidence
of our sincere faith in Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets we ask you to try
them at our risk If they do not
give you entire satisfaction we will
return you the money you paid us
for them without question or formal
ity. They come in three sizes, price
25 cents, so cents and $100, Re-
member you can obtain them only
at our store-The Rexall Store.

Draw a Chart of His Route.
WASHINGTON, D. Admitting
the North Pole is just as much LOST
as ever and that all future attempts
to find it must be independent enter
prises, unaided by his own work
Capt. Robert E. Peary, the Arctic
explorer, answered a cTossire of
questions at hearing before the
house committee on naval affairs to-
day.
He told how he wanted the glory
of the polar achievement for himself,
declining to let any member of his
expedition, other than the negro Hen
son, go on the last dash with him;
how his publishing contracts had
precluded him from testifying before
the committee last spring, and how
members of his expedition had been
prohibited from writing about the
trip.
Capt. Peary was asked to throw
light on why, as a naval officer, he
made no report to the navy depart
ment. Mr.. Roberts asked him if it
was not customary for an officer to
report on matters for which he was
detailed. Capt. Peary said he had
made some report to the coast and
geodetic survey and had advised the
navy department of that fact 1t
was his impression that the superin-
tendent of the survey had made a
report to the navy.
Asked Government Secrecy.
Pressed by Mr.. Roberts Captain
Peary said there was a letter of his
on file somewhere asking secrecy for |
his written report to the survey as
to soundings, etc.
Why, being detailed to get GER
tain information for the government, |
did you ask the government not to
use this information until later?"
insisted Mr. Roberts
Il would rather not give the in
formation except to the committee"
replied Capt. Peary, who objected
to testifying in the presence of news
paper representatives. He was given
permssiO to file his reason in writ !
ing
Why did you not take white
members of your party with you on
the final stage of your trip north
ward so that there might he credita,
Bile corrobOretiye evidence?" asked
Representative Roberts.
In the first place, replied Capt.
Peary, Il have always made the final
squirt, with one exception, when Lee
was with me. with one man and the
EsquimauX, because the man l took
with me (BepsOn) was more effective
for combined demands of extended
work than any white man.

REASONS WHY u. S.
SHOULD NIP IN TIE BUD
JAP-MEXICO COALITION

Washington, March 1S-Three rea-
sons for necessity for action by the
United States, in order to forestall
an alliance between Mexico and ia
pan and also to block an effort on
the part of the Japanese to make
tools of several South American re-
publics in which this government be-
lieves to be secret preparations for
war, became known here, today, as
follows:
First-The purchase of battleships
by Brazil and the Argentine Repub-
lie and the reported contemplation of
similar purchases by other South
American republics who can have no
possible need for such vessels and
who may be acting as agents for
Japan.
Second-The recent unwonted diplo-
matte activities of Japan in South
America and particularly in Mexico,
where it might almost be said 'c1ose
intimacy has sprung up"
Third-Fear that Mexico, despite
it's protestations of friendliness for
this country, would really do all in
it's power to strengthen the Japanese
position because of the inherent hatred
which every Mexican has for every
"gringo."
These reasons were given by a high
official of the government who is thor
oughly familiar with the conditions
in Mexico. To a representative of the
United Press, he said:
Altogether. while the protection of
American interests in Mexico undoubt-
edly had something to do with the
mobilization of troops. that reason
alone would not have caused the or

It was said this morning that plans

an important bearing on the future of

from the Algonquin club, when some

the disapprobation of some of it's
members.
These, while remaining members, Or

since been in being as an indepen-

OF the extra session. the Immediate
ratification OF the new arbitration
treaty with England. This treaty
would preclude any possibility of Great
Britain aiding Japan under the terms
Of her japanese alliance in the event
Of war between that country and the
United States.
The President regards ratification of
the treaty as OF pressing Importance.
II In his plan to have the Senate un-
dertake Its consideration at the very
outset of the extra session. While he
has been advised that there will be
practically no opposition to its pro-
visions, he is anxious to secure immed-
sate action by the Senate.
The proposed treaty will be the most
radical peace plan ever presented to
the world
1t provides for the arbitration of
,questions involving national honor

impossible OF settlement except by
war It will cement the two English
speaking nations into what is prac-

OF MEXICO
REGARDED BY TAFT AS
DECLARATION OF WAR

Augusta. Ga, March 18-President
tTaft would look upon an invasion of
IMexico as q declaration of war-and
THAT a. possible only by action of Con-
tGres.-
This Information, which was allowed
| informally to drift out of executive
headquarters here today, led to the
belief that the new Congress will re-
ceive an early message dealing with
the International situation back Of the
army and navy mobilization.
That there IL some motive of far
greater importance than has yet been
officially announced is the conviction
OF persons who have observed the va
rtous developments.
The only vague hint of Japanese
danger. 80 far as the President is con-
cerned, was IN connection with the an
nouncement that the chief trouble in
Mexico lay in Lower California where
lff was feared that an irresponsible
government" might be established.
