Legation Secretary's View.

In catastrophe like the sinking. Of the
Titanic, had the Titanic been a Chinese
ship, DR.. Chung Wen-pang, second secre-
tary of the. Chinese legation said today,
women and children would have had
at least an equal chance with men to
take advantage of the means of escape
from death.
While it is true that women hold q
lower position in the social scale than
men in China, yet, says DR.. Chung, hui
man nature Is the same the world over,
and the dependent and helpless appeal
to those who are strong. Unless those
from whom the qualities of self-sufi-
cheney are expected fail in courage and
heroism, Of necessity they will yield
place to those who are afraid, and en-
deavor to succor the women and children,
of whom nothing is expected.
Difficult Problem.
The problem advanced to DR.. Chung
was regarded as a difficult one, in view
of the different aspect of economic rela-
tons held by occidental and oriental. The
inferiority of woman, as regarded in
China, he was ready to admit. But he
was just as confident Of the humanity
of his people toward the dependent as
would be the people of any other race.

which is not truly useful or ornamental"
is each year becoming more generally
adopted. The spring housekeeping sea-
son is always recognised as the most APP
propriate time for doing away with all
non-essentials in preparation for the
heated days when every article seems a
separate obstruction to the free cireula-
ton of air. Bare floors are preferable to
rugs from now on and this In itself lessons
the labor of keeping the house clean.
Wherever a rug is laid there is the pos
sibility of the moth or carpet beetle, and
the wise housewife minimizes this danger
as much as possible.
Bare floors call for some special at
tention in the houses in which their finish
was not lHCluQe0 IN the CONSTRUCTION OF
the house. Many houses have the old
fashioned soft pine floors with numerous
crevices, cracks and knot holes. Each
of these should be filled up, as they form
excellent breeding places for insects
There are many filters for this purpose
placed upon the market by paint manu-
facturers. When these are unavailable
putty makes a good and durable substi-
tute. In a bulletin issued by the De-
partment Of Agriculture recently. regard
ing the determination of household insect
pests, it was suggested that a thin solu-
ton OF plaster of paris poured into q
crack or hole and allowed to harden was
an easy and effective way Of treating
such crevices.
Rough old floors may be smoothed up
in this way and several coats Of paint
applied, after which they may be var
nished and waxed in the same manner
as a hardwood floor. OF course such
treatments have to be repeated frequently
but the care of bare floors is such a SIM
pie matter, even when the housewife has
to attend to most of 1t herself. as COM
pared to the semi-annual taking UP Of
tightly tackled carpets, having them
cleaned and the floors cleaned and the
carpets relaid. This carpetless age has
removed the heaviest burden Of spring
housekeeping.

Makes Rheumatism
Promptly Disappear
Chronic, CrippIed-up Sufferers Find
Relief After Few Doses Of New
Remedy Are Taken.

1t is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out of shape with it's
teart-wrenching pains. when you can
be quickly and permanently cured.
Rheumatism comes from weak, mac
tive kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood, the poisonous waste matter
and uric acid; and it is useless to rub
On liniments or take ordinary RENE
dies to relieve the pain. This only pro-
longs the misery and can't possibly
cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
is to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, positively does this.
1t neutralizes and dissolves all the
poisonous substances and uric acid
that lodge in the joints and muscles,
to scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism, and cleans out and strength
ems the stopped-up, inactive kidneys,
so they filter all the poison from the
blood, and drive it on and out of the
system.
! Croxone is the most wonderful med
icine ever made for curing chronic
rheumatism, kidney troubles, and blad-
der disorders. You will find it different
from all other remedies. There is moth
| ing else on earth like it. It.matters not
how old you are, or how long you have
suffered, it is practically impossible to
take it into the human system with
out results. You will find relief from
| the first few doses, and you will be
surprised how quickly all your misery
and suffering will end.
| An original package of Croxone
costs but a trifle at any first-class
drug store. All druggists are author
ICED to sell it on positive money
back guarantee. Three doses day for
a few days is usually all that is ever
needed to cure the worst backache or
overcome urinary disorders.
