CHINA AWAKENS WITH
4 NATIONAL FEELING

SHANGHAI, Nov. 29.-Recent cele
brations throughout China of the fifth
anniversary of the republic indicates
clearly that he Chinese are undoubt-
eddy developing a national conscious
ness. Lantern parades and patriotic
meetings were held even in remote sec
tions. The celebrations were not fore
ed upon the public by official orders,
as was the case frequently under
Yuan Shi-kai's regime.
Regret concerning the present
troubled political situation character
lied the general comment of Chinese
newspapers and Chinese speakers on
the occasion of the anniversary cele-
hration
During the five years of it's life the
republic has had two important rev.
buttons in addition to the movement
which resulted in the overthrow of the
Manchu dynasty. There have also been
many local movements of minor i'm
portance which resulted in consider
able loss of life and property.
Bandit leaders and INSCRIPTIONS
politicians have exploited various
parts of the country, and there has
been corruption to a degree not ex-
celled by the Manchus. However,
throughout all this disorder and
throughout the present struggle be
tween parliamentarians and the mill
tary party it has been possible to de-
tect a growing love of independence
and of country, which has finally re-
suited in the firm establishment of
President Ii Yuan-hung in the affec-
tions of the public.
Minor politicians, leaders of var
ious political factions are carrying on
bitter struggle, but Lii Yuan-hung
stands clearly above these factional
fights, and is generally regarded by
the Chinese of all classes as an abso-
lutely honest and patriotic leader.

MILLIONS TO Be SAVED
BY CUTTING OUT MEAT

LONDON, Nov. ga million poun Is
or S5,000,000, could be saved in a
fortnight if everyone would agree ia
go without meat on one day eaen
week, says the newest appeal to the
public to cut down their meat con-
sumption made by the National War
Savings Committee. Last September a
Board of Trade committee, making a
similar appeal for economy urged the
public to agree to one meatless day
each week, but apparently it has fall
en- on deaf ears.
At present high prices the civilian
population of this country now eats
about 100000 pounds worth of meat
every day, according to figures COM
piled by the war savings committee
which finds that this is due to the hab-
it of eating meat-beef, mutton, pork,
OF bacon-two or three times day.
Excessive meat eating is a bad
habit" adds the committee. Nothing
SC radical as going without meat of
any kind for whole day is need. de
People who eat meat twice day
should cut down the meat eaten, TAX
irg more fish, dried beans, peas, etc,
and cheese, and those who eat fish
and several kinds of meat at lunch
and dinner should have only fish or
one variety of meat
Those not engaged in physical toll
are specially urged to cut down their
consumption of meat.
Besides the beneficial effects to the
health, the appeal reasons that the de-
mands upon shipping would be less
ened, the supplies could be more
evenly distributed, and further in-
crease in prices could be avoided.

toxins from tn ebody with phosphatea
hot water each morning.
We should drink before breakfast

it to flush from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and ten yards of bowels the

The action of limestone phosphate
ard hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and
it is said to be but little while until
the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone

Oh which is quite sensible, as we are
living in an age when a youthful APP
troublesome task of gathering the sage

Nowadays, though, we don't have the

drug stores sell the ready-to-use pro-
duct, improved by the addition of
ether ingredients, called "Wyeths Sage
and Sulphur Compound for about go
cents a bottle. 1t is very popular be-
cause nobody can discover it has been
applied. Simply moisten your comb or
a soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
Ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few appIica-

How a Man Who Landed On
Wood Pile And Was Sore From
Head to Foot Found
Quick Relief

Once upon time Edwin Putnam
who lives in the quiet, pretty hamlet OF
wendell Depot, Mass, climbed up into
. loft to get some building material.
Just as many another man living in the
country must often do. Suddenly he
slipped and fell. Ten feet below was a
pile OF wood, knotted and gnarled. It
was nasty tumble, and Mr.. Putnam
was injured painfully in the back. he
was covered with bruises, and was sore
from head to foot.
The next day he bought q bottle of
Sioan's Lniment which had been re-
commended to him. Within yerv few
hours the soreness had vanished and
the lameness had disappeared. He was
an active man once more.
Sloan's Liniment can be obtained at
ali drug stores 25c., Soc. and $1.OO.

The probabilities are that the eyes

our forefathnrs, unless 1t can be proved
that the whole physique of tie race to-
