this phosphate 1t is said to be a very
effective remedy for weak nerves, sleep
lessness and lack of strength. energy and
vigor.
Its substance is decribed by specialists
as identical in composition with certain
vital elements naturally found in brain
and nerve cells and one which when TAX
en- into the human system is quickly con
verified into healthy living tissue
This phosphate is already widely known
among druggists in this country as Bltro-
Phosphate and owing to the astonishing
results from its use as recorded by peo-
pie who were weak. nervous and run
down, great quantities of the phosphoric
clements used in its manufacture are be-
ing imported.

WANTS PROHIBITORY
LAW REPEALED
Five Members of House Judiciary Com
mittee Make Minority Report
Challenge CONGRESSES Power.

WASHINGTON, July S.-Five mem
bers of the house judiciary committee,
in minority report on the prohibi
ton enforcement BILL made public last
night. declared congress should repeal
the war time prohibition act. or at
least lift the ban insofar as it relates
to the manufacture of light wines and
beer.
While this report was being prepared.
Chairman Volstead of the judiciary
committee announced that he had asked
for a rule TO make the general enforce
ment bill in order for immediate con-
sideration with view to calling it up
today in the house There was no
assurance, however. that debate would
begin at once, and the general view was
that consideration would 90 over until
Thursday.
Mr. Volstead said that so far as he
was aware there was no intent On of
separating the measure 50 as to nut be-
fore the house a straight bill for en-
forcement of the wartime law
The minority report, signed by Repre-
sentatives Igoc, Missouri. Steele Penn
svlvania Gard. Ohio. Democrats: DYER,
Missouri, Classon, Wisconsin, Republi-
cans; based its objections to the en-
forcement bill reported out by the COM
mittee upon three principal grounds,
and challenged the power of congress
TO pass it because in defining intoXicat-
ing liquors it went beyond the original
act, and was therefore new legislation.
On the general question of the war
time act and its enforcement the mi
noritv report held:
FThat the provisions for the en-
forcement of wartime prohibition carry
n definition of Intoxicating liquors
which extends the prohibition bevond
that of the original act, and to that ex-
tent is new legislation which congress
has not the riolt now to pass under the
war power. We believe the original act
should be repealed.
''That as TO constitutional prohibit
ton section of the amendment pro-
vides that:
''Thp congress and the several states
shall have concurrent power to enforce
this article by appropriate legislation.
and the bill presented is wholly upon
The theory that the action of congress
is supreme and totally ignores the con-
current power of the several states.
''That the bill goes beyond the prohi.
billions of the constitutional amend
ment particularly in defining 'intoxcaf
ing liquors 50 rs to include beverages
that are not in fact Intoxicating.

JAPANESE DISPUTE
MAY GO TO LEAGUE
Regrets for Tien-Tsin Affair Not
satisfactory to United States-Her
Activities Feared.

WASHINGTON, July S.-The United
States, it is said, is not satisfied with
the regrets of Japan recently ex-
pressed over the Tien-Tsin (China) out
RACES on American soldiers by japanese
troops, and will, it is declared, make
formal demand for satisfaction.
Toxic and this city now are exchang-
ing notes, which, it is feared, will be-
come so acute as to be among the first
grievances to be laid before the league
OF nations tribunal for adjustment.
While officials profess belief in the in
tegrity of Japan 5 intention to abide by
future peace plans, some, inf1amed by
Senator Phelan and others, openly as
sert the anti-Japanese propaganda be-
ing actively conducted has real grounds
for existence.
The unsatisfactory explanation of the
recall of Baron Ishii, the japanese am
bassador, leaving that nation without a
representative at Washington, portends
difficulties to certain officials. Japan g
stand was that the Tien-Tsin affair was
a drunken brawl of soldiers is not in ac-
cord with the report of Col. Wilder, com
manding the offended troops. He now
has been transferred to Manila.
Japan activities i'll seeking trade in
South and Central America are legiti-
mate, and no offense has been given thus
far IN methods; but the reported whole
sale evasion of the exclusion of labor
agreement by which japanese are re-
ported swarming into California via
Mexico, and the reported japanese col
onlzation and acquisition of vast areas
OF farm and mineral lands in Mexico
close TO the United States frontier, and
the abuse of Americans in Korea, are
matters giving deep concern.
| The japanese cabinet has unqualified
ly approved the league of nations.
