SAKE PROHIBITION
PROTECTED nv JAPAN
The Prohibition Movement in the United
States Has Caused Temperance Ac-
tivity in Regard to Japan's Ma
tionaI Alcoholic Drink.

Toxic, July l3 Correspondence of the
Associated Press The prohibition
movement in the United States has been
followed in Japan by the launching of
project to stop the manufacture Of sake,
Japan's national alcoholic drink, which
is distilled from rice.
The end of the war has brought no
check to the steady increase in the price
of the necessities of life and the soaring
cost of rice, which is the staple food of
the japanese people, is becoming a grave
problem for the government. Last year
the high price of rice led to serious riots
throughout the empire
The Japan Temperance society has
presented a memorial to the government
urging the prohibition of making Of
sake. The organization points out that
about l5,000,000 bushels of rice are con.
sumed yearly in its manufacture. With
the population of Japan increasing at
the rate of 100000 yearly and the ma
tional rice crop falling on account of the
decrease of rice lands through civic and
industrial expansion the organization
asserts that the enormous quantity of
rice used in distilling sake might be
turned to a better Use in distributing it
as food for the people.
Emperor Yoshihito is said to be deeply
concerned over the living conditions
among his people. Through his lord
chamberlain he recently ordered, the gov
ernors of the different provinces to in
vestigate the changes in the thought of
the masses, the cost of food for the mid
die and labor classes and the general in
dustrial situation throughout the empire.
The discomfort of the masses of the peo-
pie is seriously occupying the govern
ment, which is trying to devise means
of relieving the situation.

Build for Centuries.

Americans returning from the war
bring with them the new doctrine that
a church, public building or dwelling
should be so built that it need not be
rebuilt every generation. Comfortable
attractive houses 300 years old, fine
churches 500 years old, are among the
sights they have looked upon in France
just now, in period of high cost of
labor and material, this doctrine that
dwelling may be satisfactorily built but
once in 300 years, should appeal to the
prospective house builder. 1t assures at
least that he need build but once in his
lifetime and that his child may not need
to build at all.
Such house need not cost much more
than one that would go to wreck in 30
years. A little well-trained thinking
will be about the only difference. Four
qualities must be built into such
house; Permanent material, permanent
beauty of plan, permanent warmth and
economical arrangement These qualities
are fundamental, always have been, and
always will be. Such a house will sell
well 300 years hence, and will have
pleased every occupant in the meantime.

the verge of returning to civillife, are
casting up their own individual account

Each mans account must be different

have gained considerable; others who

REPORTED CONCEALED
Washington Financial Experts Declare
That the Guaranteed Railroad In

Washington, d. c., July a. Mexican

tain long articles declaring that recent
figures as TO the Mexican public debt,
published in the United States, are

financial experts here said comparison
of the unofficial figures published in this

the Mexican treasury department show
no great discrepancy.

Sl43,472,0 900 with interest to the end of
this month placed at S43, 100000 The un-
official figures as recently published

Washington financial experts say the
Mexican treasury statement fails to ac-
count for all the guaranteed railroad in

minutes, and on coming back heard the
roar.
Six lines Of hose, with additional
chemical lines, were quickly laid by the
firemen and the work Of fighting the
blaze in the darkness, coupled with the
terrible smoke from the shavings, began.
The firemen were unable to remain in
the fight long, taking turns in going out
for breath of fresh air.
The first man to be taken out was
Mills, who was overcome as he entered
the building through door which the
firemen had broken open. He was carried
out to the railroad yard and work begun
on resuscitation. Fireman Lavery was the
next victim, followed by Frank Smith, a
call man, who is chauffeur for Mayor
jackson. After resting for few min

again.
At 1890 o'clock, two hours after the
fremen began the fight, the blaze was
reported as being under control, but the
fremen rereined there until well to-
wards morning in order to prevent a
fresh outbreak. The building was
equipped with automatic sprinkers,
which assisted materially in keeping
down the loss. The concern is we'll in

A resolution increasing the capitalization from s15,000,000 to $75,000,000, was passed.
