CHINESE HAIL NEW YEAR
Ancient Custom Requires Homage to
 Old as We'll aS Npw.

New York, Jan. 22.-With the beat ing of weird sounding little drums and music by queer instruments, the burning of incense and the saying of many prayers for their ancestors. the members of the large Chinese colony in New York have ushered in their New Year celebration. The business places in Chinatown are ablaze in decorations of the favorte color of the celestials-the reddest sort of red There is an air of conviviality among the Chinese. and rice wine and other liquors distilled in the orient are very much in evidence, as are preserved ginger, nuts and other goodies from the flowery kingdom.
 The Chinese New Year has come earlier this year than for many years past. Their year is a lunar ono, but it's beginning is regulated by the sun. The new year begins on the first moon after the sun enters Aquarius, which makes it come not earlier than January 21 nor later than February 19.
 The Chinese pay homage to the de- parting as we'll as the approaching year, for they hold that, as the fate of a departing ancestor, so it is with the passing years-they should be smiling as they go. The celebration of the New Year will, in fact, be car ried on for a fortnight. including so- cial calls, services at the joss houses dinners, and so on.

Why is man and woman. half tha worried: some days headaGhy. dull and unstrung; some days really in capacitated by illness.
 If we all would practice inside bathing, what gratifying change would take place.

For every ounce of food ansi drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine-like poisons which are ab- sorbed into the blood.
 Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnaor each day, before the fire will burn bright and hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous days accumulation of indgestibl waste and body toxins. Men and wo. men. whether sick or well, are ad- vised to drink each morning, before breakfast. a glass of real hot watg" with teaspoonful of limestone phos- Lhate in it. as harmless means Of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible material waste. sour bic and toxins thus cleansing, sweetening and puri- flying the entire ailmentary canal be fore putting more food into the stomach.

Here Are Peace Terms Laid
Down By Teutons to Russia

Clause 1-Forcible annexations
Of territories seized during the war
does not enter into the intentions
OF the allied powers. About troops
now occupying seized territories it
must be stipulated in the peace
treaty, If there is no agreement be-
fore. REGARDING the evacuation Of
these places.
Clause 2-It is not the intention
OF the allies 20 deprive the political
independence of those nations
which lost it during the war
Clause THE question OF sub
lection 20 that or the other country
OF those nationalities who have not
political independence, cannot, in
the opinion of the powers OF the
quadruple alliance, be solved inter
nationally In this case Z must be
solved by each government together
with its peoples in a manner es-
tablished by the constitution.
Clause four.-Likewise in accord
ance with the declarations of states
men OF the quadruple alliance, the
protection of the rights of minori-
ties constitutes an essential compon-
ent part of the constitutional rights
of peoples 10 self-determinatiOn.
The allied governments also grant
validity 10 this principle everywhere
insofar as it is practically realizable.
Clause fve.-The allied powers
have frequently emphasized the pos
sibility that both sides might re-
nOunce not only decentralization for
war costs. but also decentralization
for war damages. In these circum-
stances every belligerent power
would have only to make indemnifi-
cation for expenditures for it's ma
tionals who have become prisoners
Of war, as well as for damage done
i'm its own territory by illegal acts
of force committed against civilian
nationals belonging to the enemy.
The Russian governments proposal
for the creation of a special fund for
this purpose could be taken into
consideration only if the other bel
ligerent powers were TO join in the
