lem. Official participation by the reg
ular Japanese army. under their regu-
lar officers and in every way on the
same basis as the British, French and
Belgians. might result in a serious COM
plicati0n. They might have to be paid,
and Japan would be in position to
claim much of the credit for victory
should her sons aid In finally crushing
the German empire. But with the
foreign legion" coming at least one
objection would be solved.
These men are reported to be picked
veterans of the Russo-Japanese war.
They are to be equipped as few Japa-
nese troops ever have been. 1t is ru-
mored here that at their head will come
one Of Japan's greatest military &C.
muses.. man whose name will mean
much to the allies.
Not only will the foreign legion"
fight on French soil. but it is expected
that the Japanese government will
finally enter the war in the west as an
active ally of Russia and England.
There is said to be growing send.
ment in England to ask Japan to take
over the protection Of Egypt and In
dia, thus releasing for active service
against Germany the many British reg.
iments now held idle in these two
countries. Russia is said to have sug-
gested that she would welcome an al.
lance which would permit the Japa-
nese to take position with the Russians
on the firing line in East Prussia. in

Wisconsin Town Only Requires Them
to Report at Jail at Night.
Racine. Wis. The city's manner OF
handling prisoners detained at the
county Jail is attracting widespread at
tention. The Commercial club is in
receipt of communications from va
rious large cities in the middle west
seeking particulars as to the novel plan
now in force here.
The scheme is for the sheriff to allow
prisoners to continue their daily pur-
suits, only requiring them to report for
the night at the lookup. If the prison,
er has a family his earnings are turned
over to bis dependents, but if not he is
given his earnings at the end Of his
term of service.
The sheriff has been instrumental in
procuring positions for prisoners who
had no employment. The method prac-
tically leaves the Jail uninhabited by
prisoners through the day.

HUBIN'S THEATRE

Will be turned into a fine office build
ing and one of the finest 5 and 10
cent stores in the U. S., if the pend
ing deal goes through, as the big
syndicate Mr.. German represents is
more than pleased with the outlook
and sees in Pleasantville a great field
for one of their big stores. The HUI
bin Theatre Building is an ideal loca-
ton for them. There will be one big
store on the ground floor, offices and
apartments on the second floor, and
on the third floor bachelor apart
ments. Mr.. Seward G.. Dobbins, ar
chitect of the new Leech building, is
drawing up plans to remodel the HUI
bin Theatre building, which will be a
credit to Pleasantville. The altera-
tions call for work for a good many
people, and as Mr.. Hubin insists that
Pleasantville labor be employed in
constructing his new building, these
improvements will help Pleasantville
greatly.

HOW GIRLS KEEP
THEIR GOOD LOOKS

In the August Woman's Home Com
panion, Alice Farnham Leader, a New
York physician, tells how girls can
keep their good looks. She says that
health depends upon food, sleep and
fresh air, and not upon pills and pre-
scriptions. Her article is full of prac-
teal suggestions as to diet, sleep and
exercise. Following is a brief ex-
tract from what she has to say about
food:
erich, pasty, frozen creams and
candy are difficult to digest and, in
addition to menacing the health, they
cause positive LONELINESS. They con-
tain more sugar and fat than the sys-
tenn can possibly assimilate, and the
surplus is carried to the skin, where
it makes its appearance in the form
of pimples and b~lackheads. To avoid
such foods doesn't mean giving up all
desserts. Let your choice rest be-
tween light custards, fruits and ices.
"Coffee and tea are not always in
furious, provided they are taken IN
moderation. Never drink more than
one cup of coffee for breakfast, and
add cream and sugar with a grudging
hand. Drink plenty of water, hot and
cold. Nothing will promote digestion
and prevent sickness as will a glass
of hot water slowly slipped immediate
ly upon arising in the morning. The
human body requires at least a quart
of water a day, that is about half a
pint every two or three hours.
eff the average woman gave as
much attention to that much abused
organ, the liver, as she does to her
finger nails, her face would need less
attention. No wonder the liver rebels
and reacts upon the complexion, its
spite being betrayed in the form of
pimples, sallowness and black shad-
ows under the eyes,"

INCREASE
OF EXPRESS RATES

Washington, July 23.-The inter
state commerce commission has de
cided that the revenues Of the prin.
cipal express companies of the United
States are inadequate and modified its
former orders to provide additional
income.
The fabric of the present express
rates is composed of three factors
an allowance of 20 cents for collection
and delivery of each shipment which
does not vary with weight or dis.
tance; a rail terminal allowance of p
cents per 100 pounds which varies with
the weight but not with the distance,
and the rail transportation rate per
100 pounds, which varies with the
weight, the distance and the zone.
In accordance with the petition of
the companies the commission modi-
fed its order to permit transposition
of the first and second factors. The
effect is to increase the collection and
delivery allowances 5 cents for each
shipment and to reduce the rail ter
minal allowance at the rate of one
twentieth of / cent a pound. On
shipments of more thar 100 pounds
the readjustment will not make any
change. Substantially no commodity
rates will be affected
BY the provisions OF the new order
the express companies are expected tc
increase their gross revenues about
1856 per cent The commissions re

Turkish military authorities, ae-

have ordered all Christian women and
children to leave the town and go

dents refused to obey the order and
a fierce struggle followed in which
many were victims.
The Greek government has receiv-
ed from the porte no reply to repre-
sentations regarding the persecution
of Greeks in Turkish territory. The
delay is attributed to the difficulties
of communication by telegraph. Some
newspapers are urging the govern
