RUSS0-JAP PACT
 FEARED IN CHINA
Possibility of Powerful Alliance
 Fraught With Deep Import
Correspondence of the Associated
 Press

or the ASSOC1dCSQ
 Press.)
 Picking, Aug. S.--Comenting upon the remarks which M. Sazonoff, the Russian minister of foreign affairs made in the Duma concerning the possibility of a closer alliance be- tween Russia ana Japan, the Picking Daily News says it is "pronounce- ment fraught with the deepest import for China"
 The paper continues: "For some time We have known that converse tions were passing between Russia and Japan with g. view to an alli- ance, and we have already pinted out the possible explanation which is that Japan by her action toward China has brought herself into international d!srepnte and is consequently anxious to nave a friend in Europe, the more so that she has somewhat strained the alliance with Great Britain. But in view of the opinion expressed from London that the conclusion of an al- hance between Japan and Russia should be left until after the war, nothing more was to be expected on the subject. The statement now made in the Russian Duma would suggest thar the overtures from Japan have been favorably received in Petrograd. Consequently Japan's sense of na- tional importance will be enhanced by the prospect of an advantageous alliance. -
 Tt is perhaps too early to discuss the effects of such an alliance as is fOreshadOWed in M. Sazonoff's state ments, but speculations are likely to be made in China, which must of course be Titally concerned in such an agreement One immediate result would be the tendency on the part of Japan to greater arrogance but there is little doubt that the conclusion of the treaty itself would bring about an increased sense of responsibility and an appreciation of it's limitations. Possibly such an alliance would de- eide the fate of Manchuria, for we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that Japan wants territorial rights in ad- dition to political and economic priv 1leges. But if the Japanese influence be increased in that region it may possibly slacken in other parts of our country, because it must be borne in mind that whatever the outcome of the present war the British navy is likely to come out supreme, and that

HEALTH INSURANCE

Some people are naturally thin. There is also a natural pallor but most people who are both thin and pale are far from well and they need a tonic.
 Many people neglect to take tonic until they get so sick that tonic is not sufficient just because the demand of the debilitated body is not insistent enough. The pale face, weak nerves, enfeebled digestion are neglected until the point where pain or actual breakdown requires medical treatment. A tonic taken in time is the best health insurance. It supports the overtaxed system, the wor- ried nerves until nature can make re- pairs.
 Build up the blood and you are send- ing renewed health and strength to every part of the body. The appetite is inn proved, the digestion is toned up, there is new color in the cheeks and lips, you worry less, become good natured where before you were irritable and you find new joys in living.
 Tonic treatment is useful in dyspepsia, rheumatism, anemia and nervous dis orders. In many cases it is all the medi- cal treatment that is required.
 Free booklets on the blood, nerves and diet will be sent on request by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y. Your own druggist sells Dr. Wil- iams' Pink Pills.

BUSINESS IN CANADA
IS GOOD
Successful Crops and Big Yields
Help the Railway.

The remarkable fields that are re.
Canada for 1915 bear out the esti-
mate of an average yield over the
three western provinces of upward of
rs bushels per acre. There is no
portion of that great west of $4,000
square miles in which the crop was
not good and the yields abundant. An
American farmer who was induced to
place under cultivation land that he
had been holding for five years for
speculative purposes and higher
prices, says that he made the price of
the land out of this years crop of
oats. No doubt, others, too, who took
the advice of the Department of the
Interior to cultivate the unoccupied
land, have done as we'll.
But the story of the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year is best told in the
language Of the railways in the added
cars that it has been necessary to
place in commission, the extra trains
required to be run, the increased tom
mage of the grain steamers.
1t is found that railway earnings
continue to improve.
The c. P. R. earnings for the second
week of October showed an increase
of $4,000 over last year, the total
being only $4,000 below the gross
earnings of the corresponding week
of 1918, when the Western wheat crop
made new record for that date The
increase in G. P. R. earnings for the
corresponding week of that year was
only 1851, 900, or less than half of the
increase reported this year. The
grain movement in the West within
the past two weeks has taxed the re-
sources of the Canadian roads as
never before, despite their increased
facilities. The c. P. R. is handling 1000
cars per day, new record. The
G. T. R. and the G. N. R. are also max
ing new shipment records. The other
day the w. Grant Morden, of the Can
ada Steamships Company, the largest
freighter of the Canadian fleet on the
Upper Lakes, brought down cargo of
4fb,ol5 DuSnelS, new record Tor
Canadian shipping. Records are "go-
ing by the board" in all directions this
fall, due to Canada's record crop. The
largest Canadian wheat movement
through the port of New York ever
known is reported for the period up
to October 18th, when since shipments
of the new crop began in August,
4,265,791 bushels have been reloaded
for England, France and Italy. This
is over half as much as was shipped
of American wheat from the same port
in the same period. And, be it remem-
bered, Montreal, not New York, is the
main export gateway for Canadian
wheat. New York gets the overflow
in competition with Montreal.-Ad.

to marry Frank Jones. When the ped
dler appeared the following week she
was furious.
How dared you mention my name
to Mr.. Jones?" she demanded.
That's all right, lady. All the wom-
ans says that" answered the peddler.
It's going just the right way"

on the furniture? Why, I-hate him"
All the womans says that, too,
lady," answered Abraham, lodging be-
fore Miss Lisa's broom.
1t was week later when Frank
paid his second visit. Perhaps he
had seen the peddler in the interval;
certainly he had done a lot of think
ing, and the upshot of it was that he
had come to the conclusion that life
without Miss Lisa would be sorry
substitute for perpetual bliss. Yet,
when he called, he only sat in silence
O good part of the time, conscious OF

Suddenly Jones, as II hypnotized,

lccusts as pelicacies.

While the locust is essentially a
plant devourer and famine bringer,
there are many well-authenticated
cases in history showing that popula-
tions, reduced to the last extremity,
have utilized the destructive insects
as food, the Christian Herald re-
marks.
Diodorus Siculus relates that an
Ethiopian tribe was known as Aceri-
dophagi eaters of locusts), while
Aristotle writes of a certain part of
Greece where the people regarded
them as delicious. Layard, the ex-
plorer, found on the engraved monu-
ments pictures of dried and preserved
locusts on rods, presumably indicating
their use as food.
1t is not believed that any race to-
day eats them. They are regarded
everywhere in the East as an abhor-
rent calamity and the presence of
vast swarms in Palestine is held to be
a forerunner of complete crop failure,
both of fruits and cereals.

PLANNING THE NEW HOUSE
Interior Arrangements Should Have
as Much Care as the Outside of
the Home.

Things one should not do in plan
ming a home have been enumerated
from week to week on the Home
Builders page of the Sunday Herald
during the past few months. But
in addition to the things that should
not be done there are many little
things that should be done, some Of
which, seemingly unimportant, are in
reality very important. Following are
few of the Dos" combined with
"Don'ts:"
Don't treat the piazza as an archi-
tectural excrescence; make it a real
out-of-door living room. 1t should COM
mand good view, have a western
exposure and be SO located as to af.
ford privacy and rest to those occupy
ing it.
Don't plan for other than wide open
ings between the hall, living room and
dining room. These wide openings
give an air of spaciousness and gra-
cious hospitality.
Don't buy building site without
first having the architect visit the
site with you. You may in this way
avail yourself of many valuable and
helpful hints.
Don't plan your house until you
have selected your building site. To
do SO is about as difficult and will
result more disastrously than buying
hat without first trying it on.
Don't forget that CHEEKY entrance
hall affords to the casual visitor agree
able anticipations that further ac-
quaintance with the house will be
equally CHEEKY.
Don't fail to locate the kitchen
range out Of reach of cross drafts.
Much time and fuel are wasted, often
with disastrous results to the cook
ing, by not obtaining this condition.
Don't omit the shower from the
bathroom. You will be more than
repaid in health and comfort for the
extra outlay.
Don't fail to conceal, if possible, the
hot-water boiler in some convenient
closet in the kitchen. The boiler is
not a decorative fehture, even with
much time expended in polishing it..
This time can be spent to better adj
vantage in numerous other ways. The
water keeps hot longer if the tank is
concealed, which is an advantage eco
nomically.-Boston Herald

his finger on the writer's mournful
countenance.

him." agreed the young man. His

Many women have looked askance
at the very short skirts to which 9TH
ers have given a cordial welcome.
Many women wear them, and some do
not, but none has failed to notice the
trim boots that have grown higher as
skirts grew shorter Little feet that
peep in and out are thing of the
past, for little feet now are in full
view at all angles and are required to
be more than slightly.
No feet are so well shod as those of
Americans, and designers of shoes
have met the demand for footwear
that must bear the most critical scru-
tiny, with the trimmest and neatest
of shoes. Many oddities in cut have
been introduced, many Celebrations
and decorations. Contrasting colors
in feathers, and combinations of leath-
err and cloth, have added variety to
variety.
For evening wear satin pumps to
match the gown, or high satin laced
shoes, are worn. Gold or silver cloth
pumps are also liked for evening
wear, and look we'll with any color.
For street wear high boots. either
laced or buttoned, are to be had, show
ing combinations of cloth and leather,
two colors in leather or in all gray
or all tan kid. They are plain and
give the foot slender appearance.
The all-black shoe is worn with col
ored spats, and bronze shoes remain
IN demand for wear with afternoon
gowns and especially with the popu-
lar dark browns in satin and velvet.
A laced street boot is shown in the
picture with patent leather vamp and
gray leather top. 1t is an excellent
example of popular style. Machine
stitching is a decorative feature in
the latest footwear, and that in white
on black leather is especially effec-
tive. Two rows of it appear on the
model shown. They are in black on
the gray leather. This boot is nine
inches high. making the top nearly
eleven inches from the ground.

duced fancy boot in which black

than their construction. One of
them is shown in the picture above,
