JAPAN VOTES
(By Ralph Turner)

tBy Ralph Turner)
United Press Staff Correspondent }
TOXIC, April is. - One million
Japanese-the approximate number
who can vote in this country of 50,-
100000 peoplc-will go to the polls
Friday to endorse or repudiate their
present government, the Terauchi
ministry.
The election is the upshot of the
dissolution Of the lmepial Diet last
January with Premier Terauchi, see
ing the forces of the Kenesikai or
Constitutional party aligned against
him in the house of representatives,
sent members of that body back to
their homes before they had had time
to introduce a want nt-of-coufidence re-
solution against him.
But even assuming that the Con-
in today's battle of ballots. it does
not necessarily mean the fall of the
government, for early in the cam
paign Count Terauchi declared that
he would again dissolve the Diet by a
rescript from the Emperor if the low
err house withheld it's support from
him and his policies.
Japan's elections in the past have
not always been free from corruption.
At the time of the election in March
1915. penalties were imposed on 10,-
600 persons, so in order to keep to-
days balloting as pure as possible
the following "Ten Commandments"
were isued for the guidance of vot-
ers early in the campaign.
/. Voters should cast the ballots
themselves.
2. No money or articles or checks
shall he received as gifts by the vot-
ers.
3. Voters shall not attend enter
tainments or receptions given by the
candidates.
A. No rifle. spear, sword, stick or
any other dangerous weapon shall be
carried about with view of affect
ing the result of the election.
5. No voter or election campaign
-er shall vote or engage in the cam
paign on promise of receiving ap-
pointments.
6. On the way to and from cleo
ton booths. the voters shall not be
accompanied by the candidates with
carriages, receive transportation ex-
penses. or accept payments for tips
and hotel charges.
T. Voters shall not yield to the
temptation of considerations regard
ing water supply, land, rents, loans
etc.
8. Voters shall not be threatened,
tempted or deceived nor shall they be
molested on their way to and from
the polls.
Q. No false rumors shall be circu-
lated about the candidates for the
purpose of obstructing their election
10. No crowd shall gather to beat
drums, ring bells or hoist flags for
the sake of demonstrations.
Early in the campaign one Con-
stitutional candidate for the house,
along with fourteen of his campaign
ers, was arrested for violation of the
election law. 1t was charged that he
had given banquet TO the voters in
his prefecture. This bit of hospital
ity was regarded as a bribe by the
authorities.

Baking Powder Biscuits

Delicious, light, fluffy biscuits are
the result, first of all, of good ma
terials, then of quick, skillful hand
ling.
Try the following recipe: Sift two
cups flour with three level teaspoon
fuls baking powder and one teaspoon
full of salt. Then cut in three level
tablespoonfuls shortening with a
knife; finish blending with the finger
tips. Then add gradually three
fourths cup of milk or water, again
mixing with knife to a soft dough.
Turn the dough on a lightly Toured
board and roll out to one-half-inch
thickenss. Cut in rounds, place on a
CREASED tin which has been covered
lightly with flour, and bake in a hot
oven twelve minutes.
In making biscuits, all the ingredi-
ents should be cold, the dough handl-
ed as little and as rapidly as possible.
Enough for fifteen biscuits.

81 have no patience with woman
who constantly complains of being
lonesome"
Neither have we. There is some
thing wrong with the woman who gets
morbid and feels lonely directly she
is left to her own devices. 1t is the
best of plans to get by yourself some
part of each day. 1t is wholesome to
be relieved of the necessity of talking
and the strain of listening TO the
voices of others. 1t is only rational
to be able to spend such time quickly
and profitably, or at least pleasantly.
If your own society bores you so
frightfully that you cannot endure it,
left to yourself few hours, you yawn
existence; if you would almost as
soon die outright as to spend a week
or two without diversion-then one of
these two things is very likely the
matter with you. Either you have
not gotten we'll enough acquainted
with yourself to enjoy yourself or else
there is nothing in you to enjoy.
People who are bored to death by
their own society usually find it diff
ficult to make their society valuable
to others.
How long do you suppose you could
stand your own society? The answer
will be pretty good test of what you
really amount to. Not what you seem,
but what you really are.
There is nothing like a busy life to
fill the days with pleasure. There is a
certain class who, from lack of any
thing else to do spend their time
thinking of themselves.
The poet expresses it well:
Would'st thou be wretched? IT'S an
easy way:
Think but of self and self alone all
day;
Think of thy pain, thy grief, thy loss,
thy care
