PHYSICAL UPLIFT
 RACES SALVATION
RACE sETTERMENT CONGRESS PROPOSES A SCIENCE TO
 PRECEDE EUGENIcs.
Would Take up the Waste in Physi- cal Power and Health to Establish Better Conditions.

Battle Creek, Mich, Jan. 1O.-A
 wide variety of subjects embracing euthenics and it's founder. the effect of alcohol on the race and the func- tion of the dentist in race betterment featured tonights session of the Ma tional Conference on Race Better ment. The day session was taken up with the discussion of a eueenics registry office for the purpose of de- YelOpnig human thoroughbreds, the relation of physical education to phy- sical betterment, tuberculosis prob lem, factory degeneration and other subjects.
 "Euthenics is the name proposed for the preliminary science on which eugenics must be based" said Mrs. Melville Dwyer of Lake Placid N. Y. No state can thrive while it's citi- zens waste their resources of health. bodily energy, time and brain power. any more than a nation may prosper that wastes it's natural resources. However far the science of eugenics may carry the race toward perfec- tion. unless its sister science. euthe- nics. goes hand in hand, the race will deteriorate. Accepted together as guiding principles in the evolution Of life, man may yet build for himself a temple worthy of an unconquerable soul.'
 According to Arthur Hunter of New York, laboratory experiments do not represent the danger of alcohol as seriously as it exists in everyday life. This is because they do not properly allow for the increasing need and desire for alcohol and for its taking the place very largely of solid food among excessive users" he said
 MT. Hunter pointed to life insur- ance statistics. Tt has been shown" he declared, that life insurance com panies have experienced about 50 per cent extra mortality among men who drank to excess five years or more prior to the date of application, al. though they were temperate after that time"
 Henry Smith Williams of New York declared that restriction and final elimination of the use of alcoholic drinks is a vital factor in eugenics.
 The disastrous results of defective teeth were taken up in detail by Dr. C. N. Johnson of Chicago
 Among the speakers of the day se.- sion were Dr. j. H. Kellogg Battle Creek; Dr s. Adolphus Knopf. New York; Rev Newell Dwight Hills, Brooklyn, and others.

Washington, Jan. 10.-All Demo

 both houses of congress. Informal conferences were held today between individual members of the house committee on judiciary and Demo cratic senators who indicated they
 were ayerse to hastening the anti trust legislative program.
 These senators said they believed
 so great a question should be hand led slowly and that the legislation should be framed with the utmost care to avoid injustice and injurious results
 Some of the rank and file of the house membership who are drifting back to Washington contend. how

RUSSIAN TRADE

Japan Now Buys These Commercial Products at Low igure-5attIe- ships of the World.

St Petersburg, Jan, ii.-The Rus sian export chamber has been devot- ing many of its semi-weekly meet ing5 to various aspects of trade req tions with America, which continue to interest Russian industrial and commercial circles. The blow dealt to an expanding trade in which the United States had risen to second place in imports, is reflected in re- ports for the first seven months of 1913. During that period Russian eX- ports to America decreased by 2.000- GOO roubles, or over ST ,000c The new American tariff is expected to recoup for Russia some of this loss by increased trade in certain arti- cles. such as eggs hides and wool.
 One of the organs of the Russian Ministry of Finance dwells upon the Panama Canals menance to the Rus sian merchants predominance in Mongolia Mengolian wool and hides even now largely go to San Francis co by way of Tienst Tisn. To save this raw material for Russian indus tries. the ministerial organ adyocat- e that feeders. should be built to the TransSiberian Railway trayers- ing Mongolia to it's main centres, such as Urga, Kobdo and Ulyasutia. On the other hand. Russians view favorably the development of Siber- ian and Manchurian timber exports to America; hopes are also entertain ed that Europe may become a large consumer of Siberian fish, via the Panama Canal The freight rates via the Suez Canal are prohibitive, and the Japanese profit by buying the whole catch at ridiculously low prices.

MANY OPPOSE NO.LICENSE
Business Interests Feel That Time Il
Not Ripe For Voting Out Of
Saloons In Bemidji
TRANSIENT TRADE A FACTOR

81 f. rs q
That there is sentiment among
the business interests Of Bemidji IA
voring the retention Of saloons, for
another year at least, IS self evident.
"No, l believe that the town is not
yet ready to make the change" said
a leading business man today, when
speaking. of the coming election. Con-
.tinuing he said, 1--WE are Just collect
ing the $1,000 license money, about
a third of which is yet to be paid.
And should the saloons be voted out
practically all would have to be re-
turned.
although am opposed to saloons
on general principles, I think the
merchants il this city will prefer to
keep them for another year at least
The fact that the transient trade
brought to Bemidji on account of the
saloons is now an important factor
with the merchant, as it brings him
considerable additional business he
otherwise would not get. It is pro-
bable that within the next three
years these same business men will
urge this movement from another
angle.
