FINDS IT GOOD, SAYS
 WELL KNOWN LADY
MRS. HI. NELSON, NO. 3 LEDGE COURT, STRONGLY EN-
 DORSES "LAAX-A-TONE."

"A chain is only as strong as the weakest link.' said MT. Martin. the Lax-a-Tope expert at the Economy New England Drug Co.,, and if that
 weakest link happens to be the stom-
 acf1, all the other links are seriously
 affected. Many times you hear a man say, oh, just feel fine until my stomach gets out of order and then !
 am sick all over The human stom- ach Is to the system what the boiler
 Is to the engine. Let that stomach
 get out of order and the system has no energy to supply 1t with force in the way of rich blood. A sound digestion makes good blood. and good blood will repair that weakened condition of the organs that the very life depend upon. Many people think constipation Is a condition when in fact 1t is a symptom ofea deranged digestion. If constipa- tion Is allowed to remain 1t will do untold damage, as the human bowels are what the sewers are to the city. Let them once become clogged and filth diverted from it's proper channel, distress and sickness will ensue.'~ Mrs. H. Nelson, who Is very we'll

had been no real public hearings on the proposed charter amendments.
 In his statements before the com. mitte Councilman Curtis opposition was principally against having the legislature act on the amendments rather than against the amendments themselves. He said he did not think 1t right to burden the committee with these items when most of them could and should be cared for. under the home rule bill. ''I don't see why some people who go to the people for their positions. sometimes, should ob- ject to the people voting on what they do," he said. The councilman fur ther expressed the personal opinion that the charter revision committee is more or less of g "close corporation" and the will of the people Is not en- tirely reflected. He said that as far as he knew most of the amendments had originated in the minds of the mem- bers and although a number of pro- posals had been sent in from outside sources they had received ,but scant attention. <.

Mustero1e is a clean, white ointment. made with the oil of mustard. It does all the work of the old-fashioned mustard plaster-does it better and does not blis- ter. You do not have to bother with a cloth. You simply rub it on-and usually the pain is gone!
 Many doctors and nurses use Muster ole and recommend it to their patients.
 They will gladly tell you what relief it giyes from sore throat, bronchitis, croup. stiff neck asthma, neuralgia, congestion, and aches of the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds of the chest Git often pre- vents pneumonia).

CHINA BEING FORGED
 INTO WAR BY LAPS
Tokio Threatens to Seize Mines
 and Other Property

New York, March 7.-Word has been received in New York by pers6ns directly interested in Chinese affairs that an ultimatum was presented by Japan on February 19 to China. de- claring that unless the latter country declared war on Germany Japan would take the followig steps:
 Seize ali the Hanyang iron works. the Tayeh iron mines and the Ping shiane coal mines in China.
 Occupy all the Austro- o-Hungarian and German settlements Fin China.
 Cohfiscate all German and Austrian property and vessels throughout China.
 The ultimaturn also demands that China consent to the reorganization of her army under the supervision ot Japanese officers; grant Japan the right to reorganize and control all arr senals; hand over to Japan the admin istration of her finances. z
 A number of these denands had all ready been made in May. 1915. by Japan. and China was saved at that time through the intervention of Great Britain and France. The most i'm portant of the demands were the re- organization of the Chinese army and arsenals. as we'll as the appointment of Japanese advisers. 'f7
 There have been negotiations ex- tending for over ten years with regard to the Hanyang iron works and the Tayeh and Pingshiang mines. These properties are owned by China, but they are mortgaged to and controlled by Japan. For long time Japan has been seeking to obtain full posses- sion.e
 The extraordinary situation is that President u Yuan Hung should have refused to declare war, in spite of the unanimous decision of the cabinet.
New Britain herald., 1917-03-07

For that reason the cabinet resigned, a was announced by cable Monday.
 "The Far Eastern Review of Shanghai says:

As the Japanese government neither has. nor claims, reputation for altruism. 1t is naturally to be assumed that this unique move is planned to benefit Japan. America has not asked Japan for any information about China nor for any guidance in the direction of her China policy"
