Together these two nations viii work,

These statements, made by Viscount

OF Japan's attitude toward the United

The occasion for the viscount's state

demonstration that Japan has ever seen
Of the friendliness which exists between
the great nations which lie opposite,

Japan has united her resources with

Out Of the meeting there came an en-

WILL STUMP COUNTRY
To BOOM LIBERTY LOAN
Politicians Will Tour and Address
Bankers and Business Men.

All the resourcekulness at the COM
mand OF the managers Of the two leading
political parties OF the United States Is
to be pressed into service to help the
cause OF the Liberty Loan.
II was learned at the Treasury last
night that Frank A. Vanderlip, president
OF the National City Bank, and chairman
Of the publicity committee at New York
City for the war loan, Is arranging with
Chairman Mccormick, of the Democratic
National Committee, and Chairman VIII
cox, OF the Republican National Com
mittee, for q countrywide stump-speak-
ing campaign to boost the loan. The
best orators which these two committees
can muster will be drafted into service
to speak in the interests of the bond
issue.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
plans to make a tour OF the Middle West,
addressing bankers and business men in
the interest Of the Liberty Loan. His
first engagement is at Chicago on May II.
Secretary McAdoo yesterday requested
President Wilson and all members of the
Cabinet to order a stamp reading, your
Patriotic Duty-Buy q liberty Loan
Bond" to be placed on all envelopes and
all other containers of documents mailed
from Federal departments.
Federal reserve banks are writing to
the Federal Reserve Board here calling
attention to the fact that the issue of
the Liberty Loan war bonds will cause
the United States 3 per cent bonds, now
outstanding, to depreciate in value ma
terially. The war bonds will pay 3 IL
per cent. Under the law Federal reserve
banks are required to buy 81. .00o,o 900 Of
United States 2 per cent bonds a year
The board now has under consideration
plans for the relief of the banks in this
particular. In all probability an amend
ment to the Federal reserve act will be
presented to Congress for action at the
next session.

TRACTORS ARE USED BY CITY
Buffalo Declared to Have Best Gar
bage Collection System by Boston
Investigating Committee.

Buffalo has the best new garbage col
lection plan according to three engi-
neers that Mayor Curley of Boston
sent to other cities to find out which
had the best one in operation. The en-
gineer's report describes the Buffalo
system briefly as follows:
"The city is divided into districts Of
such size that four horse-drawn We
hlcles will handle thesgarbage, ashes or
refuse, picking 1t up from the houses.
These four vehicles after filling are
pulled to a central point from which
a tractor takes them on the long haul
to the reduction plant, or dump, as
the case may be. In this way the short
haul with frequent stops is taken care
of by horses, while for the long haul
the tractor is used taking several trail
ers. Care in routing vehicles would
be necessary to get full advantage of
the tractors and keep them constantly
working. These tractors cost about
$1,000 apiece and the trailers about
$1,000. For q city of the size of Bos-
ton the first expense for this scheme
might be S250,0OC, and considerably
study would be required to assure
its economy"

GARBAGE Dumps Unsanitary.

Not few cities dump their garbage
upon plots Of land located usually in
outskirts of the city. This is not dis.
posal at all, but simply the placing OF
removal of filth from one locality to
another. One health authority has
this to say In regard to dumping gar
bage on the outskirts:
"Whole groups Of zymotic diseases
are traceable to ground conditions.
When, as in some parts, soils are com
posed of an accumulation Of decaying
matters from the city, the building of
houses over 1t may conceal but cannot
destroy the contamination. More or
less of the foul air must find its way
out of the soil and endanger the health
of the people living upon It,"

CITY PLANNING FOR FRANCE
Some Good TO Result From Destruction
OF Towns by 5ombardment Of
the German Armies.

There IS no great loss, according to
homely philosophy. without some
slight gain. Great disasters often lead
to better conditions. The old fable
of the phoenix rising from its ashes is
essentially true.
France is to profit by the ruin of so
many Of her cities. So her people have
decreed. When the German armies are
driven from her soil, her manned towns
are to be rebuilt. But they will
not be reconstructed along former
lines. The narrow streets will not be
restored. The buildings centuries old,
picturesque, perhaps, but scarcely SAN
itary, will not be restored. Reims and
other bombarded cities are to be re-
built according to the latest plans Of
experts in city planning. They are to
be models on which cities untouched
by German cannonades will look with
envy.
But that IS not all. France has de-
cided that she cannot afford In future
to allow towns and cities to grow up
In the old haphazard way. A law has
been adopted which compels every mu.
nicipality to organize planning COM
mission, which will decide on its fu-
ture growth. Every improvement will
have to conform to the city plan,
whether 1t is made in newly developed
territory or replaces construction Of
long standing. Paris, having outgrown
the Haussmann plans, has organized
bureau which will care not only for the
city, but for the whole metropolitan
area.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up corn or caIlus so It lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority. because few
drops Of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so 1t can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle Of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
Is inexpensive and Is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-ady.
