Picking, March 17.-While early re-
ports from Tien Tsin suggested that
American marines were TO blame for
the recent disorders there, later re-
ports would seem to show that the
Japanese were also at fault. II is
claimed that japanese military guards
entered the French concession and
there seized two Americans, and when
American officials inquired of the
japanese police authorities If any
Americans were being detained, they
were given negative answer, accord
ing TO a report.
Later American officials found two
Americans In a police station. one of
them lying almost naked in the yard,
calling for water. The japanese were
induced 10 send the injured man to
hospital aud an American consul re-
fused to leave the station until the
other man, corporal, had been re-
leased
This demand was finally granted
The American consul was stoned by
japanese as he drove away from the
station, it is said.
When the American marines en-
tered the japanese consulate. they are
reported to have attacked a visitor.
One evening American marines who
were entering a moving picture the
alter In the French concession were at
tackled by crowd Of japanese armed
with sticks. They managed to enter
the theater, the proprietor Of which
telephoned for the French police, who
dispersed the japanese. The Situa-
ton Of Tien Tsln is said TO be tense.
The matter has been referred to the
French legation here.
Washington. Col. Theodore p.
Kane. commanding the American lega-
ton marine guard at Picking. reported
that marines were not involved In the
disturbance at Ticn Tsin, which the
American minister is investigating.
He said the trouble was between sol
diers and japanese, which accords
with the assumption In Official quar-
tiers here that members of the Fiji
teenth regular infantry, stationed at
Tien Tsin, were confused with ma
rines In the early accounts of the
affair.

The New Orleans States, now

expressed the opinion that. since

country. in close touch with the

KEEP. CHRISTMAS
 TRADE MONEY IN
 HOME CITIES

r. would be interesting to know how much of the annual sum spent by the people for holiday and winter purchases, is sent out of town. Con- sidering the thoroughness with which the great mail order houses advertise their offerings, and that there is all ways an element that like to go to some bigger place to trade, this sum may be rather large.
 Now if all that money could be kept at home, 1t would give a tre- mendous start on a new boom for the year 1920. The merchants would start the new year, with a great con- fidence and a willingness to take hold of projects of expansion. It would mean more taxable property, bigger stocks in the stores more support for all public enterprises.
 There are some people who do not realize what complete outfit of all kinds of holiday and winter stuff is carried right here in this place. These home merchants have been preparing for this trade for months past. They have seen representatives ana sam pies from the best wholesale houses in America, and have had chance to buy every possible line of fine and substantial stuff that the people could want
 And they have stocked up heavily on those lines. Realizing that the amount of money in circulation is very large, they have had faith in the future of local trade. They have probably laid in much larger stocks than ever before.
 When these public spirited business men of this community have thus T1Ya a a fn fo home a completely stocked trading center, 1t seems disloyal not to back them up in their effort The people who send or go away to trade are likely to pay more and get less sub stantial and attractive stuff They can do better in their home town without bother or effort or expense,

DISCUSSES METHODS
 OF MAKING COFFEE
Emphasizes Need of Educatinq the Public to Make Better Coffee-Need of Efficient Service to the Consumer,

Atlantic City, Nov. 17-One of the principal addresses at the opening session of the annual convention ot the National Coffee Roasters' AsSocia- ton recently, was made by Tn. Lang gard de Menezes, commercial secre- tary of the Brazilian Embassy and representative in the United States of the Sociedade Promotora da Defesa 6o Cafe of Brazil. MT. Menezes brought message from Brazil, and spoke at considerable length on the general situation. He said in part:
 Coming from Brazil, the home of coffee, having been brought up, 1 might say, on coffee-I drink perhar a dozen small cups a day-I confe a prejudice in favor of any man. who ministers to the weu-known Ameri : can fondness for this beverage. There IS somehing about the coffee business which has the same effect upon the men in it that pot of coffee has upon those who sit around a small table. It promotes good fellowship and friendship and frankness and cheerfulness and - unlike certain other beverages the names of which most of us have already forgotten it has no-what you call in this coun- ry-come-back.' That is the beauty of coffee-there is no morning after There never has been any temperance problem in Brazil, and there never will be any. We have our wines and our spirits, and we drink them mod erately and enjoy them, but our great national drink is coffee. In Brazil, l am certain, the abuse of alcoholic liquors which, I am told, started the temperance movement here will never be known
 ''As the representative of the Socie- dade Promoora da Defesa do Cafe, am here in the United States to help the American trade sell more coffee Before this can be done we must get rid of the singular superstitions q cannot think of any better word) that some of your fellow countrymen have about coffee. It seemed very strange to me when I first arrived, and still find 1t hard to understand, that a large enough number of Americans believe those old-wives tales to sup port a flournishing business in sub stitutes.
 When a delegation of coffee men from the United States first came to Brazil in 1912 to point out the dan gers that threatened the American coffee industry, they found their chief difficulty lay in convincing us Bra zilians that any considerable number of people in the United States drank the stuff which I see advertised in all your newspapers, on your bi11boards and in your railroad trains and sub way cars. We couldn't believe 1t at first and when we tasted the stuff our doubts increased. But when you showed us evidence of the propa- ganda work done by the proprietor of a so-called coffee Substitute we real ized that any manufacturer who could afford to spend more than a million dollars a year in advertising must be doing a tremendous business.
 ''So, now that we have joined with you in promoting the consumption of coffee, we feel bit philanthropic, be-

Says Backache is a sign you have been eating too
 much meat.

When you wake up with backache it generally means you have been known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them. like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache. sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue Is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twfnges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia. and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so 1t no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts Is life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, can not injure and makes a delightful. eff fervescent lithia-water drink.-Adv.

Germans Are Paying
 High Prices For Opera

Berlin. Oct. 1S-(By the A. P.)- Prices for theatre and opera seats are soaring to the skies in Germany. It has just been announced that it will be necessary to charge sixty marks for an orchestra seat, and 100 marks for box seat at the first performance of Pfitzner's 'Pales- trina," which is soon to be given. Be- fore the war there was much crtti- cism because thirty marks was the charge for a seat at the opera when Caruso sang.
