EASILY OVERCOME

A New Yorker Of wide experience
has written d book telling how the
tobacco or snuff habit may be easily
and completely banished in three
days with delightful benefit. The au.
thor, Edward J. Woods, 1923, + Sta

book free on request.
The health improves wonderfully
after the nicotine poison is out Of the
system. Calmness, tranquil sleep,
clear eyes, normal appetite, good d.

and a general gain in efficiency are
among the many benefits reported.
Get rid Of that nervous feeling; no
more need of pipe, cigar, cigarette,
snuff or chewing tobacco to pacify the
morbid desire.

THE PoPPER CASE Is UP

Mukden Manchuria, Aug. 2.-In-
formal negotiations concerning what
is known as the Pepper case are un-
derstood to be going on between the
United States and Japan
The case which involves J. E. Pop
per- an American engineer, had its
origin on August 30, 1916. when Mr..
Pepper who was in the employ of the
Chinese provincial government is said
to have been assaulted by Japanese
coolies in the international settle
ment. The American contention is
that Mr.. Pepper observing that sew.
eral of the Chinese linesmen in the
employ of the Mukden Electric Works,
of which he has charge, were being
molested by Japanese coolies re-
quested the Japanese to desist.
The Japanese turned upon Mr.. Pop
per it is asserted, and dubbed and
beat him almost to insensibility. He
was rescued by the American Vice
/, Consul, who was hurriedly called to
/ the scene.
1t is claimed that the Japanese Con-
sui General volunteered an apology
for the incident hut as it was not
made. the consul was asked to try
the case in the Japanese consular
court. After some difficulty Mr.. Pop
per secured the services of Japanese
lawyer to represent him. After a
hearing it was announced that the
lawyer had informed the court that
Mr.. Pepper had withdrawn his com.
plant though Mr.. Pepper declares
he gave no such authority
The American consulate requested
that the case be reopened. but the
Japanese consul replied that this was
not possible as the affair was closed
Finally, after further conferences, the
Japanese informed the Americans
that the period in which Mr.. Pepper
could have appealed had elapsed and
that nothing further could be done
The Americans interested claim thai
there was no trial whatever.
lit is understood that the authori
ties at Washington have become in
terested in the case and have asked
for complete report.

How Has Cats Escaped
Impeachment-


Ocala Banner: r:-Governor Ferguson
of the great state of Texas is under
impeachment, and surely he has
brought less unfavorable criticism up
on Texas than our governor has in
ficted upon the State of Florida.
How has Cats escaped?
Have his offenses been less griev-
Gus?
While it is to be deplored and is
unfair and unfortunate to the people
of the state that Florida should be
made the butt and ridicule of the ma
ton, still in this connection we shall
not allude to the undignifed letters
Governor Cats addressed to the At
lanta Constitution, the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record and to the at
torney general of the United States,

in which the laws of the state have
