the horse problem: He sold the horse
for $4j, that puts $I5 in his pocket. He
buys the horse back again for $50, bor-
rowing 81 from you, say. Now he sells
the horse again for $40, that leaving $40
III his pocket, end out of the $40 he pays
you the Sc he borrowed. That leaves
him $35, and he had $45 In the first part
when he sold the horsc-S3j from Si5

AMERICAN INFLUENCE IN CHINA.

1t will be long time, doubtless before the
world will fully to realize the extent of Amer-
influence in shaping the course of the revolution
in China. In the revolutionary cabinet three
Yale men. WI Ting-fang, foreign minister, thor
oughly imbued with American ideas and purposes,
was the most widely known man of the group, so
far as the outside world is concerned. Sun Yat Sen
provisional president has spent much of his time in
America and few men, it is said have studied more
closely or understand better the genius of American
institutions.
The great fact is beginning to impress itself on
the world that China with four times population,
with third Of the people Of the world, has somehow
absorbed much of American governmental ideas
that today she sits at the feet Of the western epub
liC willing student and mitator.
The abdicaton of the ManchuS and the definite
establishment of republic with coalition govern
ment representing both the radical and the conserva-
tive parties% is immense proceeding that it
not vet be realized and visualiZed 1t will take CEN
turies, even, before this wonderful step in advance
will be accurately appraised. For the first time,
more than half the worlds population is aligned on
the side of representative institutions Sun Vat Sen,
the Benjamin Franklin of the revolutionary move
ment has indicated his entire willingness to give
up the presidency in favor of Yuan ShihKai, and the
new scheme of things will be put into operation
without serious jeaousieS or friction.
There will Of course be difficulties and back
sets; epochs Of reaction and disorder will give worry
to the friends and satisfaction to the enemies of
popular government. But there will be no perma-
nant retrogresson. China has set her foot forward,
and she will take the step, and will follow it with
many more.

HAVE YOU SUSPECTED YOUR KIDNEYS,

There are two ways to tell whether you
have weak kidneys
The first is through the pains in the back
ana other outward signs. The second is
by examination of the kidney secretions,
That is why physicians make such a
careful examination when you apply for
insurance and if there is any sign of kid
ney trouble you are surely rejected.
Kidney disease is SO dangerous that it
Is bad mistake to overlook or neglect it,
and If pain in the back, recurring head
aches, OF a fretful, nervous, tired condition
makes you suspect some kidney trouble,
take the trouble to watch the kidney secre.
tons. Look for any of the following
signs:
More OF less than three and one half
pints passed daily.
Too dark or too pale q color.
PASSAGES too frequent, profuse, or much
reduced or scaldina and painful.
sandy. Gritty or cloudy settlinss. &c..
Fat or oily-lookina layer which gathers
on the surface when allowed to stand,
or o jelly-like thickenina.
Staining of the linen or bad odor.
Temporary changes may occur for a time
from things eaten, but if the changed ap-
pearance continues, your kidneys are out
OF order and need help. Neglect may prove
serious.

late the kidney secretions, stimulate and

PETIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"a few days after birth we noticed
An infiamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He is
very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading, until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
Not until commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. / don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before We used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such pitiful sight. He would
fuss until 1 would treat him, they
semed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation. (Signed) Mrs. T. B.
Rosser, Mill Hall. Pa, Feb. 20, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and oint-
ment are sold by druggists and deal
ers everywhere, a sample of each,
with 32-page book. will be mailed free

LINING IS IMPORTANT PART
French Women Are Most Particular
as to This, and Their Judg-
rnent Is Good.

French women adore Innings, and
when new coat, or stole, or muff is
being chosen the lining is certainly as
important as the outside material.
Furs will have white satin Innings
covered with real lace; evening coats
will be enchantingly lined with layers
Of chiffon in different shades, so that
when the coat falls away from the
shoulders a beautiful effect of color
catches the eye.
independents of vivid chiffon have
the same result when the upper skirt
is lifted. A tailor-made of quite Or
binary serge will be lined with dainty
silk Powered cachemire. in fact, lin
ings are large items in the mind of
the woman who understands the art of
dress.
Nothing gives a surer note of ofs-
tinction to a garment than its inside
material, and one may go so far as to
say that a tailor-made or evening
cloak of any kind, that is badly or in
differently lined is as lacking In finish
as hair that is not we'll brushed or
shoes that are not irreproachable In
heels. soles and general polish.

EASY TO RESTORE NECKWEAR |
Process Not Expensive, and Complete
Return of the Original Freshness
Is Sure.

These dainty accessories to our
wardrobes become soiled very quickly
and we often regret having to use wa
ter upon them, for they never regain
their first freshness.
To send them to the dry cleaners
each time is an expensive luxury. They
may be cleaned in this manner at
home:
When number of pieces have &C
cumulated, place them in quart jar
and fill it three-quarters full of gaso'
line.
After closing it alright, shake Wig
orously and allow it to stand for sew
eral hours Shake from time to time
Remove the articles and rub the
soiled spots with pure white soap,
using an old toothbrush. Repeat this
process until the neckwear is thor
oughly clean.
Hang out Of doors, that the air may
quickly dry them. When the gaso,
line has evaporated, bring them in
and hang them in warm place.
Heat helps wonderfully in dispell-
ing the odor Of gasoline.
Place in a closely covered box con-
tanning sachet bags. Byt the time the
neckwear is needed 1t will have lost
the disagreeable odor.
