JAP. MINISTER SAYS KOREANS
 PROSECUTED
Methodist Churchmen Gives Damaging Statement Against
 His COuntrymen.
Correspondence of Associated Press.

Correspondence of Associated Press.)
 Tokio, July 5.-The people of Korea and the officials recognize that the Korean disturbances were in no sense religious uprisings and that they were not at all melted by the missionaries, according to the report of the Rev. K. Ishizaka,, of the Japanese Metho- dist church, who, with two other de- legates representing the Federation of Japanese churches, recently made a study of the Korean situation.
 Mir. Ishizaka emphasizes the dis content of Koreans over the discri- imitation against them, especially in matters of education.
 He said he received complaints that the Japanese people as we'll as the government officials seemed to regard the Koreans as beasts and not as human beings.
 "The postoffice officials" he went on, do not give attention to Koreans is occupied with something, but let a Japanese come in and the officials are at once attentive. In crowded cars the Japanese order the Koreans to make room for them.
 ''In our journeys in Korea we heard of women being stripped of their clothing, of aged women being kicked by men with boots on, and of barbar- ous cruelties everywhere. Many Ko- reans spoke to us Japanese christians of their undurable sufferings. We saw men who had been flogged, whose wounds remained, and were very ser ious."

FOOD
 IN CT. BRITAIN
 WILL GO HIGHER
Sir Auckland Geddes Thinks Values Climb to Level "Never
 Dreamed off,"

London, July 1.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-Prophecy that the price of food next winter will "climb to level never dreamed off," was uttered by Sir Auckland Geedes, the British minister of re- construction, in an address at Crewe recently.
 A member of the audience shouted, More wages" Sir Auckland re- piled that there would be no money to pay wages because it would have to go overseas to pay for food.
 The minister warned the public that it was squandering it's money in colossal way on things that did not matter.
 "You cannot live like millionaires, i" he said, If you are as poor as a church mouse. This nation is now poor. It is living as if it were wealthy"
 More beer was being brewed in Great Britain yet people complain of shortage. This he attributed to a doubling of the amount of beer con- sumed because, since the war, there was more time to drink it in and more money to pay for it.
 By sending overseas for beer, silk for stockings and feathers for hats, Sir Auckland said, the people were increasing Britain's debt for things that did not matter. What you ought to get are food and raw ma terials," he declared.
 Sir Auckland denounced the limi- tation of output as, stark, staring lunacy" The mill owners, he said, limited output to obtain higher prices and the operators limited it to make work for more people.

CHINESE CHANGE ATTITUDE.

New York, July 23.-The trans forming of Chintown that has been in progress for decade has finally thrust it's Americanizing influence into the Chinese temple in Mott street with the result that the loss and the lesser idols have been relegated to a dusty closet.
 A Christian clergyman, the Rev. Lee To, head of the Chinese associa- tion, which now holds sway in the temple, is reported for the removal of the idols which is significant of the present day attitude of the Chin- csc toward the old traditions.

ROAD CONTRACTORS ORGANIZE

Little Rock, July 23.-The road con- tractors of the state have formed an organization. It has not been an nounced how many members there are, but it is said the membership is quite large. It is said that there are some of the districts having difficulty in securing contractors, as there is more work than there are firms prepared to do it. For this reason, bids are often higher than commissioners have felt justified in paying, and in many instances, it has been necessary to re- advertise for bids.

Notwithstanding the great strides
that have been made in medical
science. many people there are who
still cling to the so-called "old-fash-
toned and home prepared remedies,
and who have an abiding faith in their
efficiency.
This abiding faith has been the in
spiration for the placing on the mar
ket of many nostrums and "curealls,' y
as well as some preparations that have
been tried and tested and found wor-
thy.
During the recent epidemic of influ-
enza, which exacted such terrible
toll from our citizenship. many al
legged remedies for the dread disease
were exploited, some of which. how
ever, were quickly suppressed by the
