GOVERNMENT SEEKS MONOPOLY
In Saxony Authorities Will Control
 Entire Electrical Output. -

(Correspondence of the AssO. Press)
 Zurich, Switzerland, May 22-The government of Saxony has decided to take over complete control of the generation and distribution of elec tricity in the state. Coal fields and one big generating station have al ready been acquired, and the Saxon Landtag has just voted several mill lion dollars for further outlays. Eventually it is expected that the whole euectrical supply in the king dom will be taken from the state system so that the government will be able to fix the lowest possible charges. At the same time the gov ernment has no intention of prevent ing local public bodies or private corporations and individuals from
 AS beginning, the government has purchased for million and a quar- ter dollars, the steam generating station at Hirschfelde on the river Neisse, belonging to Berlin com pany. This station has already a capacity of 45,5O0 kilowatts and the plant is quite new. Moreover it is close to one of the coal fields bought by the state.

GOOD WORK
 FOR SICK WOMEN
The Woman's Medicine Has
 Proved Its Worth.

When Lydia E. Pinkham's remedies were first introduced, their curative powers were doubted and had to be proved. But the proof came, and grad ually the use of them spread over the whole country. Now that hundreds of thousands of women have experienced the most beneficial effects from the use of these medicines, their value has be- come generally recognized, and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the standard medicine for women.
 The following letter Is only one of the thousands on file in the Pinkham office, at Lynn, Mass, proving that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is an article of great merit as shown by the results it produces.
 Anamosa, Iowa, When began talk ing Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound I suffered with displacement, and my system was in a general run- down condition. Iwould have the head ache for a week and my back would ache so bad when I would bend down I could hardly straighten up. My sister was sick in bed for two months and doctored, but did not get any relief. She saw an advertisement of your med cine and tried it and got better. She told me what it had done for her, and when l had taken only two bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound my head began to feel better. l continued it's use and now don't have any of those troubles '' -- Mrs. L. J. HANNAN, RED, ], Anamosa, Iowa.

CENSORSHIP CRATES
 ON GERMAN PEOPLE
Reichstag Discusses Abuses Exist
 ing Upder Martial Law

Correspondence of the Asso. Press).
 Berlin, May 24, Via London, May 25, 7:29 a. m.-The Reichstag de- voted this afternoon to a discussion of the press censorship and other features of martial law which are causing dissatisfaction. The budget committee moved the adoption of resolutions requiring the military au- thorities to obtain the consent of the chancellor before they order the suspension of the publication of any newspaper and asking the chancellor to introduce a bill securing the people against encroachments on their civil rights in non-military mat ters. Another resolution asked the chancellor to guarantee the impar- tiaility of the censorship and it's re- striction to military matters only.
 Several speakers complained that the censorship has grown worse rather than better since the last dis oussion in the Reichstag. One grievance which was complained of in particular is that newspapers con- tinue to fall under the ban of the military authorities for republishing articles which have already appeared in other parts of the country.
 Deputy Pfeger complained that the chancellor was dependent on the army commanders, who are enforcing martial law and who claim the right to set aside the orders of the chan cellor whenever they regard them as incompatible with public safety Deputy Pfeger demanded the com plete abolition of the political censor ship. He said that people who be- haved as the Germans have done dur ing the present war must not be kept under intellectual thralldom.
 Deputy Emmel of Alsace, socialist, pointed out that the military com mander at Straussburg would only permit the deputies from Alsace LOT raine to assemble upon condition that they did not discuss military or political matters.
 Deputy Leisching, progressive, de- c1ared that the most urgent question, after the food problem, is the protec ton of the people against the throttling of freedom of speech.
 The chamber adjourned without taking a vote.

JAPAN AND ENGLAND
 TO MEDIATE IN CHINA
Tokio Hears That Yuan-Sh1-ha1 Seeks Thus to Bring Peace to
 CcIestials.

(Correspondence of The Associated Press.>
 Tokio, April 30.-Considerabl in terest has been caused in Tokio by report that Japan and England have been asked by YuanShi-Kai to medi- ate between the central government and the rebels in the interest of bring ing about peace in China. There is no confirmation of this report here in official quarters although it is be- lieVed that the entente allies would be glad to make some arrangement whereby hostilities could be brought to a close in the far east. Conversa- lions between the powers concerning China are believed to be going on con- stantly but a high official of the Ja- panese foreign office said to the cor respondent of the Associated Press a few days ago "Japan's position is very clear. The question as to the system of government that may obtain in Chi ma and the question as to what man will direct the government of China are no concern of ours. We have no intention of interfering in the domes- tic questions of China"
 However, with "watchful vigilance" the key note of Japan's attitude, it is expected that should Japanese inter- ests or the lives and property of Ja- panese nationals be endangered Japan would be forced to take some steps towards the protection of her interests.
 The Japanese press has been filled the past week with reports of a prob able agreement concerning China be- tween Japan and Russia. One newspa- per even went so far as to publish what is called the text of the agree ment, but this was characterized as false by the foreign office. The un- deriving idea of the alleged accord was that Russia was to recognize Japan's special position in China

STRETCH WHEN YOU WAKE.
(New York Sum-

All the highest animals go through certain exercises on first awakening. There seems universal instinct which teaches that certain stretches expan- sions and breathings are necessary at this time The movements of animals on awaking are yawning deep breath ing. expansion and stretching. But men rarely take such exercises. As
 matter of fact, man possibly takes more time, whines more and does less than any other animal between the moment of awaking and standing er- ect.
 Although the stretch has been care fully explained by science. few know the real meaning. The stretch extends the body so that the veins. where con gestin is most liable to take place. and where are so elongated that the blood flows more easily from the arteries where the pressure is strongest, thru the veins back to the heart, and cireu- lation is capitalized and stimulated.
 The yawn is similar of the stretch The yawn is a stretch of the lungs while the stretch is yawn for the muscles. and both express a hunger for oxygen. The hak hour between
 waking and rising should be freshened

LARGE sum

Opium valned at $4,000 went up in
smoke at IL o'clock this morning, when
IL seizures of the drug were burned
in the firebox of the boiler in Jack

officials from the custom house.
OF the burned packages, the most
valuable were six five-tael tins, valued
at $60U, seized November 90. 1914.
The value of the other tins and odds

This is the final lot of opium to be
destroyed and is the third which has

the opium burned this morning was
not over eight or ten pounds, accord
ing to Deputy Collector Raymer Sharp.
