Rheumatic Throat

Should Be Treated in Blood
To Prevent Recurrence.

There are successful gargles that stop
soreness in the throat. but to prevent their
ineessant return, the blood must be put In
order. The best remedy is 5. 5. s., as 1t
Influences all the functions Of the body to
neutralize the irritants or waste products
ana to stimulate their excretion through
the proper channels.
Rheumatic sore throat is q dangerous
indication, as 1t means that the blood Is
loaded with more uric acid than the kid
neys can excrete, and may thus lead to
serious general disturbance.
The action OF s. $. S. stimulates cellular
activity 1t prevents the accumulation OF
irritants in local spots. II enables the
arteries to supply quickly the new red
blood to replace worn-out tissue.
For this reason uric acid that finds the
throat an easy prey to its breaking down
influence, Is scattered and eliminated. In
other words s. 3. s. prevents chronic con-
ditions by enabling ali the mucous Innings
OF the body to secrete healthy mueus. Its
influence is shown in a marked improve
ment Of the bronchial tubes whereby the
huskness Of voice with thick, grayish ex,
pectorations is overcome. >. >. y, Well

This gift, as it might be called, from
the province of HunHn, small as it is,
is exceptional. AS a rule little or no
thing can be got from the provinces;
they are, on the contrary, continually
calling upon the central government
for assistance, the Tutuhs threatening
that rebellion, or brigandage and loot
ing that will implicate the govern
ment with foreigners, will result un-

ingness to give authority to foreign
ers.
"The men in high positions round
the president are all Of the old school,
almost every one having been hIgn
officials under the Manchus; and it
is generally understood in China that
it was the Chinese and not the Man
chus who most opposed the entry Of
the foreigner The opposition to for
eighers, however, exists not only in
the presidents palace. Whenever the
presidential government negotiates
with foreigners, in making loans,
granting concessions, or any other
business in which there might be
"squeeze9 or the surrender Of author,
ity in any FORM a noisy opposition
rises. And in view Of the feebleness
of the government and the danger Of
employing the army, such excitements
have to be curbed and controlled by
diplomacy. The danger Of them has
been shown in very recent years, the
Szechuan outbreak, which was the
beginning of the anti-Manchu rebel
lion, having been created on the out
cry against the Hukwan railway CON
tract.
In desperation the government is
now endeavoring to obtain another
loan from the Quintuple group Of
bankers, composed OF French, Ger
man, British, Japanese and Russian
banks, supported by their respective
governments. 1t will be remembered
that last years 25,OOOOOO pounds loan
was the cause of considerable out
break among parliamentary members
against Yuan Shi-kai and was one of
the prominent causes of the rebellion
of last summer. Feeling that Yuan's
government is too disorganized and
unstable to trust with another large
loan, the Quintuple legations are re-
quiring the banks to stipulate what
amounts to foreign control o. china's
finances for period Of, it e stated |
50 years, as condition Of any further
extensive borrowing.
Up to the present the government
has refused this condition, and is get
ting along as best it can with small
loans at high interest. parts Of which
are sometimes taken out IN arms. am

CHINA BANKRUPT
UNDER new
regime
arNfyu13 *
YUAN sHl KArs REPUBLIC SAID
TO HAVE FALLEN INTO DIFF
FlcuLTIEs

Peldng, April 13.-That Yuan Shai-
kai's government is faced with ser
ious financial crisis is the opinion Of
a substantial body Of foreigners in
peking and the treaty ports Of China.
These men predict foreign financial
control or a foreign public debt com
mission. The difficulty of the situa'
ton is that the president and his sup
porters are, up to the present, unable
to obtain money from the provinces
for the administrative requirements
Of the central government. A letter
to the president from the Tutuh (mil-
itary governor) Of Human, accompany
ing a remittance Of 100000, contains
an interesting statement Of the case
from practical Chinese point OF
view. Tan Siangming, the Tutuh,
says:
eOf late the country has been in
q turmoil Of civil strife and frontier
troubles, an scarcely day has pass
cd without some military operations.
After your excellency suppressed the
internal troubles and made peaceful
settlements with the powers, the first
thing that attracted your attention
was the financial administration. For
eign loans have been resorted to to
relieve the country's financial embar-
rassment, but owing to the fact that
the terms of the foreign syndicates
were too harsh, some patriotic peo-
pie have suggested ways of collecting
taxes while others proposed a re-
trenchment policy. But all these spe-
oious words and theories can do no
real good to the country.
During this critical period there
seems to be hardly any remedy for
the country's financial troubles. When
read the documents from the cen
tral government stating its financial
difficulties and the orders of your ex
cellency, l gave vent TO my grief in
sobs and tears, like everyone else
who has the sense of patriotism.
"We are in duty bound to relieve
the embarrassment of the government
If the provinces do not help, nationa
bankruptcy will result and the natior

less the assistance is forthcoming.
The president and his supporters, by
employing the army succeeded IN
suppressing the rebellion Of last sum
mer; but they have not been able to
stamp out the elements Of disorder
Indeed. in order to do this they would
have to abolish the army itself q
mercenary situation, as the frontier
fighting the recent rebellions have
shown, lacking discipline and not yet
developed above the idea that the
privilege Of soldiers is the right to
plunder. Yet the president has not
the power to disband several hundred
thousand men in arms.
Disorganization throughout the
country prevents the government from
collecting taxes on western lines from
the provinces as a whole, while active
opposition- which will last, it is said,
as long as Yuan Shi-kai remains pres
ident--would otherwise present, in the
southern provinces, the institution OF
8 new western system. But the
greatest difficulty is believed by for
eigners here in PelSing to be the iacE
throughout the nation Of capable men
possessing the character and intelli-
gence to build up modern system
onu of the corrupt and antiquateu
eastern one which the country knows.
Yuan shi-kai's government has fall
en- back on the old Manchu system OF
giving the governor formerly the vice
row orders to send to the capital GER
tain definite amounts, leaving the
governor to collect as he can sufti-
cient above the required sum to pay
his PROVINCES expenses, including the
cost of his provisional army, and what
sums he chooses to take as his own
personal compensation. But even this
plan hitherto has failed, for the cen
trail government has not been able to
recover the prestige and power which
the Manchus held, feeble as they
we're. The Associated Press cores
pondence from Picking has shown how
the so-called modern army refused to
fight the Mongol tribesmen within the
province of the capital, Chill, itself;
and how, when disbanded, the troops
Join brigand bands, one of which, in
the province Immediately south Of
