President to Complete Work

Following his return from the funeral
of Mrs. Wilson in Georgia, President

rection of the plans to relieve Ameri-
cans strander abroad and to lessen
the financial strain in this country
caused by the European war.

reserve board to discuss with them
the reorganization of the banking
system of the United States and the
supplying of the needs of the business
men in the great centers of industry
This will be the first time that Mr.. Will
son has seen the members of the board
as whole and will be preliminary to
the launching of the new system.
The grave problems facing, the cot
ton growers Of the south will also receive

the raw cotton to the mills abroad and
of transporting the finished product TO
Europe, the transportation of cotton
for consideration. Southern men will
meet with him for this discussion.

j. S. CONCERNEDOvER
FAR EAST SITUATION
Preservation of Chinese Neutrality
Is Subject of State Department
Conferences.

Much concern is being felt by admin
stration officials over the far east situa-
tion. Secretary Bryan has for some
time been considering d suggestion that
the United States use it's influence not
only to preserve neutrality, but to pre-
vent conflict between the foreign
forces of China Mr.. Bryan has been
in repeated conferences with the
British, Chinese and Japanese diplo-
matte representatives.
China is cut off geographically from
Europe except Russia, beyond which
country no messages can be forwarded
according to information received at
the legation. Communication still re-
mains. however. by the Pacific cables
between China and the Pacific slope.
In British Possession.
1t is supposed the British government
has taken possession of the extensive
system of cables which connect the far
east with Europe by way of the Chi
nese waters, the Indian ocean, Red sea
and the Mediterranean and that they
are closed to commercial usage.
General hostilities are not expected
because the British, Russian and
French ships predominant and could
rely on the Japanese, too, for assistance.
The problem of preserving the integrity
of China and maintaining her neutral
ity is giving much concern to the State
Department.
Chinese Minister Shah and Yung
Kwai, the counselor of the legation,
conferred yesterday with Secretary
Bryan on the subject
The Chinese government is making a
supreme effort to prevent China from
being made a theater of war.
Ample Precedent Submitted.
The Secretary's attention has been
called to the fact that he has ample
precedent for adopting the suggestion
of intervention by the United States
in the decision taken by Secretary
Hamilton Fish in 1870 during the
Franco Prussian war.
Secretary Fish personally cabled the
American ministers i'll Germany and
France instructions to sound the gov
ernments to which they were accredit-
ed with Il purpose of securing an
agreement to have their forces then
stationed in China restrained from fly
ing ut each others throats.
Mr.. Fish's move had been anticipat ed,
however, by the French and German
commanders in Chinese waters and that
at the instance of the latter the French
admiral had agreed to a truce which
lasted until the end of the war.
AT present there are new phases in
the situation which may make the
Sccretary's task much more difficult
Japan is now the most potent factor
and is commonly understood to cherish
"a strong desire for the exclusion OF
the German element from the far east.

When and How the
Body Poisons Itself

The underlying cause of much head
ache, particularly migraine, or sick
headache. bilious attacks, vertigo or
dizziness, is intestinal auto intoXica
ton. This process, recognized only in
recent years, is the absorption into
the blood of poisons produced in the
intestines from the residue of food
The two most prominent factors in
causing this condition are eonstipa-
ton and excessive meat eating. 1t
can therefore be largely avoided by
care in the diet and the use of laxas
tive which Will clear away the fer
menting residue of food which is gen.
Grating the poisons.
Pinklets, the new laxative, are adj
mfrably suited to protect the body
against the dangers of auto-intoxica-
ton for they gently assist nature and
do not grippe or purge. Harsh purga-
tives leave the system in a worse
condition than they find it but Pink

organs of excretion that is needed
to produce natural action and if they
are used regularly for time they
will really correct constipation.

What was probably the last chap
ter in the Harvey Perry case. In
which Frank Harvey of Augusta and
Mrs. Mamie Brooks Perry of Oakland
were last Friday by the municipal
court found guilty of a statutory Of
Tense and bound over to the Septem-
Der term of the superior court, came
off Monday afternoon. 1t will be re-
membered that the Perry woman on
the day of the hearing furnished cash
bail In the sum of $50 in order that
she might go to Wateryille and get
the bond ordered by the. court, being
given until Monday to do so. Harvey
secured the required bond but Monday
his bondsman surrendered him. The
matter was talked over to some ex-
tent and it was finally decided by the
court to rescind the Jail sentence I'M
posed at the time of the hearing and
to accept fine and costs amounting
to s1262, on condition that Harvey
leave town, to which he agreed. Mrs.
Perry, who had returned to Augusta,
was also given the same privilege,
which she accepted.
