IMPORT SHIRTS FROM JAPAN
Japanese Salesman Takes Orders in
United States and Goods Are
Made Up in Orient.

A Japanese salesman is making the
rounds of New York city soliciting or
ders for shirts. He carries a line of
samples, takes measurements, writes
orders, directions, etc., and the maids
in a factory somewhere in Japan make
up the goods. The finished shirts
cross the Pacific and are carried on
the transcontinental railroads to the
buyer.
The Japanese are pushing the bust
ness rapidly, and inasmuch as the
tariff law cut the duty ON these goods
40 per cent, our Asiatic competitors
see great possibilities in this method
of getting into the American market,
as the wages paid in Japan are about
one-twelfth those paid in the United
States, declares the Albany IN. "
Journal.
This salesman is a pioneer in what
may become a widely ramified bust
ness under the noses of American
manufacturers. He pays no rent OF
taxes. Every shirt coming into this
country in this name displaces and
prevents the sale of a shirt made in
America and displaces just so much
American labor. And without tariff
safeguards this trade with Japan is
bound to develop to the detriment Of
all concerned in the industry here.

FILIPINO FREEDOM
HOUSE REPORT AGREES WITH
SENATE BILL.
Measure Provides for Withdrawal
From Islands Within Next
Four Years.

Washington, D. c. Passage of
the Philippine independence bill was
recommended 10 the house by the
insular committee, exactly as passed
by the senate, including the Clarke
amendment to withdraw sovereignty
within four years and empowering the
president to take steps to institute a
free and independent government.
IF the Philippines are to be in
Guided in any scheme of national de-
Tense which may be adopted" said
Chairman Jones in the report, 'the
cost to the American people will be
many millions greater than would be
otherwise necessary.
"If the United States, unfortunate
ly, should become involved in war with
any first-class military and naval pow
er, the Philippines would constitute
our most vulnerable point of attack,
and sc long as they are held as an
American colony they will prove a
sorSce of national weakness and con
slant menace"
There will be a minority report

SWAMP ROOT SAVES
KIDNEY SUFFERERS

You naturally feel secure when you know
that DR.. kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy, is alb
~Eolutely pure and contains no harmful or
habit producing drugs.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence, prescribed by DR.. Kilmer
many years ago, is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp-Root.
Swamp-Root is scientifically compounded
from vegetable herbs. 1t is not a stimu-
liant and is taken in teaspoonful doses. 1t
is not recommended for everything. Ac-
cording to verified testimony it is natures
great helper in relieving and overcoming
kidney, liver and bladder troubles.
If you suffer, don't delay another day.
Go to your nearest druggist now and get
q bottle. All drug stores sell it in two
sizes-6fty cents and one dollar.
However, if sou wish first TO try this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co, B~inghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sIuices Of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those Of US who are accustomed 10
feel duh and heavy when we arila;

foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, lame back, can, instead, both
look and feel as fresh as a daisy always
by washing the poisons and toxins
from the body with phosphated hot
water each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast,
a glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate in

kidneys and ten yards of bowels the

bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans

more food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and 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 a little while until
the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate will cost very little at
your druggist or from the store, but
is sufficient to make anyone who is

Ell Paso, Tex.-Franeisco Villa was
definitely located at Laboquilla, ac-
cording to a code message received
here from Torreon, Mexico.
Laboquilla is So miles southeast of
Satevo and about an equal distance
north Of Parral.
The message said that the bandit
had been at Santa Rosalia two days
ago and from there had turned west
to Laboquilla. Santa Rosalia is on
the Mexican Central railroad, so miles
southeast of Chihuahua City.
The message from Torreon again
has revived the dropping hopes of a
successful termination to Gen. Per-
shing's expedition. American troops
are known to have reached Satevo and
are believed to have pushed south of
that town. The chance that another
brilliant dash, like Dodd's ride to Guer-
zero, might bring the troopers of the
United States UP with the fugitive
bandit is being eagerly discussed here.
