last resignation was in 1909 when he
quit all his presidential chairs ex-
cept that of the bank.
Why He Resigned.
Interviewed as to his reasons for re-
tirement the baron said: THE child
is grown and able to walk by himself"
meaning that japanese finance was
now so advanced that his influence is
no longer needed. But even now it does
not seem quite clear that the veteran
intends really to cut himself adrift
from the world where his long life has
been spent, for he added that he would
still contribute to the commercial and
industrial interests of the nation be-
side taking an active part in work for
a better understanding between Japan
and other countries. When the Kokusai
News agency was founded three years
ago in order to disseminate the true
truth" about Japan by cables and news,
the baron became president of the com
pany, post he still holds. This COM
pany owns the Japan Times and Japan

English in Toxic, and controls the Reu
ter cable service, both inward and out
ward from Japan.
His retirement gives rise to the ques-
ton of who will be his successor as
leader of the financial world Cf Japan.
There. is no single man in sight who is
big enough to fill his chair. The can
didates With the best chance are
thought to be Mr.. r. Nakano, president
of the Toxic chamber of commerce
Mr.. X. Fujuyama, vice president of
the same body, and Mr.. S. OhaShi who
was vice president until last year.

jAPAN'S FOREMOST
BANKER RESIGNS
Baron ShibusaWa Will Devote Re-
mainder of Life to Charity
Work.
HAD AN INTERESTING CAREER
Lived In Two Worlds, the World of
Feudalism and the Present World
of Banks and Limited
Companies.

Tokio.-Baron Shibusawa, president
Of the First National bank of Japan,
resigned his position at the annual
meeting Of the bank and retired into
private life. He is seventy-six years of
age. He proposes to devote the re-
naming years of his life to the pro-
motion of charitable works and the
betterment of international relations,
particularly between Japan and the
United States.
The baron is well known in America
to which he made his last visit early
this year. When in New York he had
long consultations with leading Amerl-
can financiers, his object being TO in
terest them in the propositions which
Japan intends to exploit in China.
Japan has the brains, America has
the money was in effect what he said
in trying to persuade Wall street
moneyed men to take an interest in the
business. The proposal was turned
down. New York business men thought
II they were going to find the money

they would provide the brains as well.
The suggestion was a sort of second
edition Of one which Count Okuma
made to England year before when
he threw out the idea that the Anglo
Japanese alliance should become an
economic as well as military pact.
He made practically the same PROPOSE
tion-"Japan has the experience, Eng
land has the cash'-but the Britshers
came to the conclusion without any
special delay that they had enough
brains to exploit China with their own
money If they wanted.
Lived in Two Worlds.
Like every old man in Japan, Baron
Shibusawa has lived in two words

among other things, banks and limited
companies. He entered the govern
ment service under the old regime
while the emperor who died three years
ago was still virtually recluse In
kyoto and the empire was ruled By the
Tokugawa Shoguns. Shibusawa's first
mission out of Japan was an education
al trip to Europe with one of the Sho-
guns sons who did not dream that MS
family's tenure of the sovereignty of
Japan was over. This YVES in lS67-6S
when Andrew Johnson was president
of the United States in the interval
between Lincolns assassination and
Grants election. He returned and went
into the government after The upset of
Shogunate and was an official until
1873 when he resigned over differ
ence with the finance minister of the
day and never entered politics again.
Instead, he founded the First bank so
called because 1t was the first bank in
Japan on modern lines. That was AZ
years ago and In that long time Baron
Shibusawa moved on from one tinan-
cial success to another until in 1909
he was president of 70 concerns. When
he started the First bank its capital
was million and quarter dollars
borrowed money-now ii is ten and
three-quarter million dollars, or If re-
serve fund Is counted in-ffteen mil
lion.
This Is not the first time that the
baron has thought Of retiring. In 1901
he was Ill and not knowing whether
he would live, made will in which he
named as successor in the presidency
of the First bank, Mr.. Yunoshine Sa-
saki, the manager who now actually
succeeds his old chief. Then in 1905
he was again Ill and he resigned from
many of his positions but picked them
all up again when he recuperated. His

Flowers are produced by the sacri-

nate their own functions to the making
Of seed to carry on the species. In the
late summer time, when plants have

in many instances, becomes so strong
that the miracle Of It's Self-suCriiiCc is
revealed. one often sees roses after
producing perfect blossoms, producing
some which push out small bunch of
green leaves from the heart or, per-
hups, the axis of the aborted stem

why WOMEN
Write LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkharn Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are well often ask care
The letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" "Are they truthful 2"
"Why do women write such letters? 2"
In answer we say that never have we
published fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands Of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some Of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements. Inflammation, liberation,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
