HEALTH HINTS

Disease killed two and half times
as many men as wounds in all wars
up to the Russo-Japanese conflict.
Now the death rate from disease in
warning armies Is not much greater
than among the civil population.
The modern soldier has learned that
vaccine against smallpox and typhoid
and protection against tetanus are of
greater value than bomb.proof caps
and gas helmets. 1t Is better to fight
vermin than 1t is to run the risk of
contracting some of the disease spread
by these pests.
One round of vaccine against small.
poS, three rounds of anti.typhoid vac.
cine, one dozen rounds of insect pow
der and a round of tetanus anti-toxin
are part of the present day soldiers
armament against bugs and bacilli.
During the Franco-Prussian war the
total loss to Germany was 43,1S3 of.
ficers and men, while during the same
period 129,12S persons died from small.
pox in Prussia alone. These figures
now appear startling.
In the Spanish-American war there

men in army of General oku during
the Russo-Japanese war there were
but 66 cases of typhoid and this was
before the vaccine came into use.
The common infectious diseases of
childhood are most likely to break out
in a military camp, especially among
troops recruited from country districts.
Feet defects are a common source
OF trouble among new recruits. Dis

CHINESE PEOPLE
TRUST AMERICANS
And They Do Not Trust Japs
Which Lears to the
Charges

PEKING, Feb. 5-(correspondence
newspapers are devoting much space
to discussion of apparent charge in
Japan's attitude towards China. Pan.
ers of all parties and factions share
the opinion that Japan has abandoned
at least temporarily, all thought of
physical conquest of China, and is de.
voting itself to an economic conquest.
Japan's attitude towards the new
American enterprises in China and
the renewed efforts OF Japanese bank.
ers to entrench themselves more thor
oughly through loans of various
sorts are widely discussed in the
Chinese press as well as in parliament.
The following statement from the PEEK.
ing daily news is representative of the
view generally taken by the Chinese
press: "At Toxic the belief prevails
that Japan will continue her endeayor
to increase her political influence in
China. The Japanese business men
are continually clamoring for a poll
tical ascendency that will not be SO alb
rupt to endanger peace. What they
want Is a thorough economic conquest
OF the neighbortng republic.
The readiness with which Chinese re.
\ Gently granted American capitalists
the concession to build long rail
road and their hesitation in making
contracts with the Japanese have
awakened the Japanese to the fact
that ascendency in China, to be sue.
cessful must be accompanied by some
measure Of trust and confidence. The
Japanese have tricked the Chinese SO
much that the Chinese have lost all
confidence in their neighbors, both
politically and commercially.
THE situation as 1t stands between
the United States, China and Japan
is in its infancy, but it is growing
daily and will have to be taken into
consideration soon."
Chinese papers throughout the repub
lie show hostility to any financial ar
rangement in which Japan has a hand
There is general disposition to dis
courage joint action between any
group. Chinese newspapers are practi
cally unanimous In their expressions
of the hope that American bankers
will invest large sums in the devel
opment of China without cooperation
with foreign powers. The United
States is heralded as the one country
which has dealt fairly with China
and has no desire to acquire Chinese
territory and exercise undue political
pressure on China through financial
channels.

B U. 5. SENATORS AGREE UPON RULE.
 TO LIMIT DEBATE
Killing of Armed Neutrality Bill by Small Group Pro-
 vokes Wilson.

Washington, March With Presi- dent Wilson sdemand for change in the senate rules to make impossible in future such a filibuster as the one by which handful of members de- feated the armed neutrality bill fresh ! in their minds, senate Democrats will caucus tomorrow on a program for the special session. The session, called primarily to pass upon appoint ments to office, began formally today, and will get down to business to- morrow.
 Senator Owen, who has been the chief proponent of a limited debate rule for many years, is preparing to bring up the subject of cloture before the caucus, and B senators, most of them Democrats, have signed an agreement to support the rule he pro- poses.
 Many senators who have partici- pated in various attempts to agree on limited debate rule declare that it would be easier to get declaration of war against Germany or pass the armed neutrality bill, that died yes- "S- N~J' "AAesS lO NietlSC ILC ulC WulCu says that senator cannot be taken from the floor when he wishes to keep on talking.
 Progressive Republicans who par ticipated in killing the armed neu- trality bill are understood to be ex- ceedlngly bitter over the presidents statement denouncing them, and are l expected to oppose the change.
 Democrats who may oppose the change in the rules remember that the time may come when they will find themselves again in the minority. It was a filibuster which Senator German, Democrat, used years ago against a bill to enforce negro en- franchisement, and that fact never has been forgotten.
 About the first business to be taken up will be the selection of a majority leader. Senator Martin of Virginia Will probably be chosen, as Senator Walsh, the only other candidate talked of, withdrew several weeks ago.

Correspondence Associated Press)

A few weeks ago he returned to this country and tried to enlist in the United States Marine corps but was rejected as an alien.

 The council finally decided, as stat ed already, to vigorously enforce the ordinance, and instructed the mayor and city cerk to publish a notice in the press, that parents and boys alike may have ample warning of the intention of the authorities to arrest all boys found guilty of discharging such weapons within the city limits The juvenile court and the probation officer will be asked to assist in this matter, if necessary.
 The Louisiana supreme court with in the past month, has upheld an award of damages in tine sum of $5,- 900, as the outcome Of a case where one boy shot another with an ail rifle, the parent being held civilly re- sponsible in this case, for the act ot his minor son.

BEGIN HOT WAITER DlRlME1NG IF YOU DON'7T FEEL lRlGEl1r
 nS es7s'st Saya~ glass of hot water with phosphate before breakfast
 washes out poIsons.

If you wake up with a bad taste, bad breath and tongue is coated; If your head is dull or aching; if what you eat sours and forms gas and acid in stomach, or you are bilious, con. get fleeing just right, begin inside bathing. Drink before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with tea spoonful of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will flush the poisons and toxins from stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels and cleanse, sweeten and purify the entire alimentary tract. Do your inside bathing immediately upon arising in the morning to wash cut of the system ali the previous days poisonous waste, gases and sour bile before putting more food into the stomach.
 To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became loaded with body impurities, get from your pharm- acist quarter pound of limestone phosphate which is inexpensive and almost tasteless, exceTt for a sour ish twinge which is not unpleasant.
 Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so hot water and lime stone phosphate act o1. the stomach liver, kidneys and bowels. Men and women who are usually constipated bilious. headachy or have any stom- ach disorder should begin this inside bathing before breakfast. They are assured they will become real cranks on the subject shortly.-Advt.
