CHINA SUFFERING
MONEY SHORTAGE
AS OBST ACLE TO
REGENER ALTON

Washington, Sept. 21.-The great OBJ
stacle to the regeneration Of China is
reported on all sides to be shortage
of money for the ordinary expenditures
of government and for some time revo-
luton has been feared unless foreign
help could be had.
The new administration under Pres
ident Liuan Hang is believed here to
have done much to consolidate the
country and secure peace. and it is felt
that only a small loan is required to
complete the work.
1t is assumed here that if the $780,
100000 joint loan goes through there
will be no further effort to obtain the
proposed s15,o00, 900 Japanese loan.

Beauty Behind the Bars.

You might very reasonably think"
said prison chaplain to the writer,
That vanity could not long survive in
the atmosphere of a Jail, but l can as
sure You it f1ourishes within the walls
OF cell and behind iron bars as
bravely as in my lady's boudoir in the
haunts of fashion
But you may ask what opportuni-
ties are there for indulging vanity in
prison? Really there seems to be
none. But you may be sure of this.
when woman wishes to make herself
attractive, she will find the materials
somehow
THE articles and ingenuity of the
woman prisoner would be very anus
ing II they were not pathetic. She
Will collect any odds and ends of red
stuff and steep them in water to i'm
part the coveted rose tint to her
cheeks. She will scrape the white
washed walls of her cell and chew the
lime fragments into a paste to provide
substitute for powder.
ITO keep her teeth 'pearly' she will
use salt or chewed oakum. and pencil
her eyebrows with a piece Of wood re-
duced to charcoal over the gas let.
She makes her locks glossy with the
fat of the meat supplied to her. and
provides herself with curling papers
by tearing pages stealthily at inter-
walls from library books
LAS substitute for a corset some
women wind strips of cloth, torn from
their skirts, tightly round their waists,
and one ingenious prisoner actually
constructed an efficient corset from
the wire of a cell window grating, and
it was only discovered when one day
she tainted in chapel from tight lac
ing.
Another resourceful woman-a ter
rible character, by the way-used to
retire every night wearing a beauty
mask made from the hot bread and
milk provided for her supper.
Such are some of the ingenious
ways in which women prisoners culti-
vate their beauty under difficulties;
and. as far as possible, the authorities
wink at it, for it serves the excellent
purpose of keeping them content and
amiable. Indeed, an appeal to a wo-
mans vanity is often much more eff
fective than any disciplinary method,
as I myself have found more than
once."-London Answers.

TO AN 4. P. correspondent

1.-THE cabinet is political only in the
sense that we do not seek to escape re-

the conditions under which the previous

possible neutrality toward the Entente
as foundation for whatever action an
unprejudiced examination Of conditions
as they are today may dictate"
Are you on the side of the Entente.

Kennebec Journal Ads

A S advertising took on this char
~ acter, and was more and more
aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers. House wives
learned that through reading the
advertisement is of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
modities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of "shop-
ping" Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to
efficiency of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses of the world to come un-
der the sway of business Methods"
at last felt the impulse toward eff
cheney. The housewife learned that
she, too, was "in business" and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with ef-
fciency and economy and wise judg-
ment Thus the circle of people IA
fuenced by advertising widened and
expended in a greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
goes on. If merchant holds the at
tention and interest of the people in

in their buying by the ADVERTISE

~ 1ME was, and within the memo
ries of many of us, when but
few people read advertisements
and those with misgivings.
Advertising had not yet found it's
proper place in the economy of life.
Much of it was neither informing
nor dependable nor of interest.
AS with other phases of life, time
brought changes. Little by little
the tone of advertising imp roved,
and it came to be of use and service
to the people. It developed, gradual
ly, into a medium of information for
the people about commodities and
products and and facts and figures.
