Gently.
The bill, which carries an aggregate
of S5,2lS,250 directs that no part OF
the appropriation shall be expended
for powder other than small arm
powder, at price in excess of 5S
cents a pound" Both the army and
navy powder plants at Picatinni ar

are making powder at much less than

S. Waddel., representing the Hoynes
Safety Powder company at Cleveland,
charged in testimony before the appro-
priation committee that the Dupont
Trust company has never been ac-
cused of throwing away money" and
that they kept for some time on the
Potomac river private yacht of T. c.

trust"
THAT yacht" added Mr.. Waddell,
''is called the Tech which the skip

ment purposes and that the larder OF
IL was magniicently supplied with
everything that could contribute to
that end. This yacht made excursions
between Washington and Indian
Head"
Foolish to Consider Competition
Mr.. Waddell testified that he did
not know of any money being spent
in the corruption Of any government
official, "by the Dupont company" but
that ut would be foolish to consider
that the government will ever get any
competition against a trust like that
of the Duponts." He testified that the
army and navy officers. particular!
the army, came in direct contact with

chairman of the senate committee OF
military affairs" whose position gives
him q strong influence compared with
that of an outside manufacturer" He
cited an instance in which the init
macy and confidence grown up be
tween the Dupont people resulted in {
lax inspection" in the Dupont plant.
Mr.. Waddell further said that the
government has its own powder plan
and the relations between the Dupont
company and the government are sucf
1t would be unwise for any man Il
attempt to manufacture smokelesi
powder. The cost of introduction tC

AMERICANS ARE
PUZZLE TO JAPAN
Tempestous Mood of Ameri-
cans Makes Settlement of
Differences Difficult.

Toxic. Japan, Oct. 1S-Discussion Of
the Observation-Disclosures controversy
gave occasion to count Shigenobu Oku-
ma, former Japanese foreign minister
to express his Impressions of American
temperament.
The problem was a vast one ne de-
ciared-more far-reaching than is COM
monty thought by The Japanese people.
1t was problem whose solution de-
pended upon patience and endur-
ance as well as diplomatic tact. Japan,
which had regained after long strug-
gle the right Of decision in her own af-
1a1rs, must now acquire the power to
have say among the great nations
on all questions involving her inter-
ests.
Meantime the United States will re-
main difficult problem, he said.

the naughty and eccentric manner in
which America behaves herself The
arbitration and Panama tolls problems

What makes the matter more trou-
DIeSome IS the tempeStuouS and irasci-
bic mood Of the American people One
moment they rise and rage like mad
men and in the next drop to noncha-
lance. For instance the California
problem seems already sinking down
to the lethargic level. You never know
the vagaries of the American psychol-
Ogy"
However, count Okuma is brightly
optimistic and believes Japan and
America will eventually settle all their
problems even if it takes a century.

Divorces Decrease in Toxic.
One of the most striking features of
the new census report of Toxic is the
rapid decrease of divorces. In 1904
there were 20 divorces to every 100
marriages. In 1911 the percentage had
fallen to 16 in 100.
This decline is attributed to an i'm
portant change that is slowly but
surely taking place in the family sys-
TEN of Japan The growth of individ-
ualism and the greater opportunities
for the average citizen to advance on
a basis of intelligence and capacity
have affected the family system so
much that certain distinct results are
already noted.
Greater freedom of choice is permit
ted among the young people and the
influence of the mOtherinlaW over the
new household has considerably dimin-
lShed- Until Western influences began
to AFFECT the Japanese social system
the newly welded bride always en-
tered the home of her mOtherinlaW and
oDeyed her IN her every action. This
state of affairs often led and does lead
now to discOrd and divorce. But the
assertion by the daughterinlaW of her
rights and the tendency for new cou-
pies to establish a home by themselves
las changed all this

THE w. C. T. u. LETTER.

The Kenyon Bill will be before the
Senate February 10. We ask all law
abiding citizens to write to our Con-
gresham urging its speedy passage.
The pouring of liquor into territory
where the local laws say it shall not be
sold has been carried on under the guise
of interstate traffic and with the aid of
the federal government. 1t is to stop
this that the Kenyon Bill is designed
The resentment which has grown out
of this arrogant policy of the liquor
traffic has done more than any other
single force to confirm the deep-rooted
opposition to the business.
We see the growing knowledge of
the dangerous character of this traffic
Its record of devastation is scar across
the face of civilization. The manhood
1t has wrecked, the homes il has ruined
the women it has wrung in hopeless
sorrow and the other women it has
buried in nameless shame, the children
1t has starved and murdered these are
the witnesses against it.
Speaking to the liquor interests, We
say that the more they fight the Kenyon
bill, which represents the will of the
people, the more it behooves them to
cast about to find some other business
for their children to follow. For as
sure as light dispels darkness, the day
is coming when the country will be
awake to the truth that there is nothing
in liquor domination which Americans
will tolerate if they hope to remain a
nation of free men and women. Van
Valkenburg.
The legalized liquor traffic of this
nation is responsible for all the murders,
bloodshed, riots, strikes. poverty, mis-
cry, wretchedness, and more, it breaks
up thousands of happy homes every
year. sends the husband and father to
prison, or to the galows. ana drives
countless thousands of mothers and lit
tie children into the world to suffer and
die. The legalized liquor curse of this
nation to-day is furnishing the criminal
business of our courts.
THAT we deem it high time that this
country dissolve partnership with this
family-wrecking and soul-destroying
business, as eight out of ten of our
findings are caused directly or Indirect
ly by the use of the liquor.
This fact could be verified by all the
grand juries in the United States. The
people and the government should dis
solve partnership with the crime-pro-
ducing traffic. S. w Hammers.
Do not be afraid of prohibition. 1t
prohibits quite as well as license regu-
lates. Law enforcement depends upon
the officers and the officers depend upon
the voters

A MESSAGE TO WOMEN
Who are "Just Ready to Drop"

When you are "jusr ready to drop"
when you feel SO weak that you can
hardly drag yourself about--and be-
cause you have not slept we'll. you
get up as tired-out next morning as
when you went to bed, then you need
help right away.
Miss Lea Dumas writes from Ma
lone, ~ Y, saying; 81 was in badly
rundown condition for several weeks,
but two bottles of Vinol put me on
my feet again and made ME strong
and well Vinol has done me more
good than all the other medicine l
ever took"
If the careworn. haggard men and
women, the pale, sickly children and
feeble old folks around here would
follow Miss Dumas example, they,
too, would soon be able to say that
Vinol. our delicious cod liver and iron
remedy, had built them up and made
them strong.
1t Is a wonderfully strengthening
and invigorating body-builder, and we
sell 1t under an ironclad guarantee
of satisfaction. You get your money
back If Vinol does not help you.

AN ACUTE ABSCESS.
The Way II Forms and the Way u
Should BE Treated

The Way II Forms and the Way u
Should BE Treated.
An abscess is swelling that con-
tains pus. II may be either acute or
chronic. and 1t may either be deeply
seated in the body or 1t may appear
upon the surface. The chronic or
''cold abscess" is generally of tuber-
culous origin, whereas the acute or
"hot abscess" Is the result OF an In.
lection by the pus microbes.
The acute abscess comes on suddenly
with all the signs of severe intiamma-
tion--heat, redness, swelling and pres
entity, as the pus forms, throbbing
pain. The sufferer often feels Ill and
has a slight degree of fever. In three
or four days the abscess begins to sof-
the surface skin Is being destroyed and
the tension upon tho sore spot is not
no great. BY and by there il only one
layer left, through which the pus can
be seem This thin layer soon ruptures,
and the pus escapes. Relief Is imme-
diate. and healing soon begins.
When tho Inflammation Is deeply
seated tho affair Ia more serious In
such cases tho pus may burrow until
II invades some vital structure-the
peritoneum or tho brain. for instance
and fatal result il not impossible.
The treatment of assesses has
changed much In late years. Former
ly the acute abscess was allowed to
form and break without surgical inter
ference unless It threatened life or
caused too much distress Now tho
physician does not walt for IL to pass
through the natural stages. As soon
as II appears he makes an incision and
releases the poison before II has a
chance to cause the formation of pus
He cleans the cavity thoroughly and
keeps 1t continually moistened with an
antiseptic solution. II must be allow
ed to drain freely and moist antisep-
tic dressings should be applied while
the wound ID healing. Youths Com
nanion.
