JAPAN'S STATUS UNCHANGED
Osaka Paper Doubts II U. S. Entry
Will Affect Position,

OSAKA, Japan. June 16.-The Osaka
Mainichi dismisses as unwarranted
| the feelings of alarm held in some
quarters that the sending OF troops
by the United States to Europe would
adversely affect Japan's position in
the world
The newspaper expresses he opin-
ion that Americas armed assistance
cannot amount to much and that the
United States par -icipGsion in tho
fighting would be welcomed by the
entente powers for moral rather than
for material reasons. II thinks that
the inevitable elevation of Americas
position at the peace conference will
not affect Japan 10 the extent that
her past services to the cause OF che
entente allies would be ignored ana
that japan should be Obliged to fore
go her rights.
In conclusion, the journal urges
Japan to assist Russia and TO do her
best to induce China to join the pow
ers OF the entente.

PUBS BEING MENDED
TO SERVE AS MODEL
English Bars, Facing Extinc-
ton, Reform.
GOVERNMENT MAY CONTROL
Women, Taking Over Mems Work,
Take Over Habits, Too.

LONDON, June 16.-Maybe the
English public house" will be re-
formed in time to provide a model for
a like improvement OF the American
saloon. The pub" we are screech-
ingly assured by various folks who
call themselves moderate reformers,
must be mended or ended. Naturally
its patrons and proprietors, who are
beginning to give some ear to their
critics, are considering means OF
mending.
The proposal that the state shall
take over the liquor business is get
ting serious enough. at any rate, to
compel the consideration Of counter
irritants. The government has been
going slowly about this business OF
public ownership, realizing that a
mistake about so big and difficult
proposition would be ruinously bad
politics. But everything now indi-
Gates the serious probability OF gov
eminent assumption Of the whole busl-
ness before the war ends.
A lot of very cryptic statements on
the subject have been issued from
quarters more or less in touch with
official purposes, but they have gem
orally read as IL they were Intended
more to excite discussion and develop
public opinion on the subject than
as pronouncements Of a definite
policy.
But on the whole the trend Of
things seems pretty clearly toward
more stringent Government interior
ence with the business. The food
question is the first and most OBJ
vious reason. Nobody has provided
logical answer TO the question why
the country should go to the expense
and inconvenience of rationing itself

BODIES OF WOMAN AND CHILD
DROWNED At PAoNiA NOT FOUND

The flood waters of the North Fork
river claimed two human lives Tues
day evening. Mrs. Louis Gruden and
her yearold baby were returning with
Mr.. Gruden from Somerset, where he
is employed ir the mine. to their ranch
home three miles east Of that town, on
the south side of the river. AS the
team they were driving reached the
middle of the crude bridge which has
served as their means of reaching the
main road on the opposite side OF the
stream, a stringer broke. precipitat-
ing the vehice and its occupants. with
the team, into the river. Mr.. Gruden
succeeded in making his escape. and
one of the horses was rescued, but
he was powerless to render any assis-
tance to his wife and baby, and their
bodies were carried swiftly down
stream
Little hope is entertained that the
bodies will be recovered. for although
diligent search has been made for
miles along the river. no trace has
been found of them. The extremely
high stage of the water at this time
makes it all the more certain that they
will not be located soon, If ever

MAN MUST HAVE PROPER
REST TO DO BEST WORK

Fatigue is the decreased ability 20
do work as the result of doing work.
Work uses up the energy stored IL
the cells, wears out the cells them
selves and produces poisons in the
blood. Fatigue may be either ply
socal or mental. Its characteristics
are acceleration of the pulse and re-
spiration, increase in bodily tempera-
ture, fluctuation of the attention, In
crease in error, decrease in control
of movements, reduction in the capa-
city for physical work, and the low
ering Of the mental functions.
fatigue. the cells are rebuilt, and the
blood gets rid of its poisons. The
man who does work, mental or ply
sical, must proportion his work and
rest to accomplish the maximum
amount of work with the minimum
amount Of fatigue. If he works too
long at time, he so completely e1.
hausts the cells that they recover
slowly. If he rests too frequently
or too long at time, he fails to &C
complish his maximum amount ot
work. The periods for work and rest
vary with the different kinds of work
At the Bethlehem Steel Works il
was found that undirected laborers
loaded on an average of twelve and a
half tons of pig iron per day. Eve'i
when bonuses were offered, they were
not able to go beyond this average
for II they did too much the first par,
OF the day, they were not able to dc
30 much the latter part. When, un
der the direction of an efficiency ex
pert, they followed each twelve-min
ute period Of work with period oi
rest, they were able to load forty.
seven and a half tons With less ia
::tigue. These and other experiments
have led to the conclusion that every
worker should have a brief period oi
rest every two hours at least, and
much oftener If the work is difficult
and exacting.-Alfred Westfa'l. Colo

CONSERVATION OF FOOD
PLANS BEING OUTLINED FOR
DENVER CAMPAIGN.
Business Men, Railroads, Farmers and
Housekeepers Will All Aid
In Work.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-With the arrival of David
w. Thomas tc take over the secre-
taryship of the livestock and agricul-
tural bureau of the Denver Civic and
Commercial Association, the monster
drive began to enlist the business
men, the railroads. the farmers and
the housewives of the state in the
conservation of food.
Tentative plans already are being
made for the first of the series of
fruit, berry and vegetable weeks
which will aid in concentrating the
attention of the housewives upon the
need for preserving all the perishable
goods possible for the winter.
The first will probably be cherry
week, sometime after July 10th. The
weeks will correspond as nearly as
possible with the time of season when
the goods are the most plentiful.
Plans for a monster conference of
members of the Civic Association,
women's organizations and railroad
representatives are being made. w.
H. Kerr, chief of the federal market
and rural organization branch in Den
YER will be present and an attempt
is being made to obtain federal e1-
perts from Washington.
Mrs. Lucius Hallett probably will
