the Japan Tourist Bureau has an
nounced. Officials say most of the
foreign residents of China, the South

Shantung question has caused a very
marked decrease in the number of

is RACE TO BE HAIRLESS7
Prediction Made, Not Without Reason
That Coming Generations,
Will Be Bald.

That the man Of the next century
Will have no hair on his head has been
predicted time and again, and the fact
that many men under 40 are bald
seems to indicate that this may be
possible, the man of the coming gen
erations acquiring badness at an
earlier age until finally a hairless
specimen of the genus homo shall ar
rive. But 1t Is through no fault of
their own that men are losing their
hair, while women are perhaps IN
consciously getting ready to become
hairless females Of the species, and
while they may be only working out
the will Of Providence, they are doing
II deliberately by "bobbing" their hair.
The fashion was introduced, it is
said, by Russian women, who disguised
themselves, trying to get out of their
bolshevist-ridden country. Coming to
the United States, their bobbed hair
attracted attention, was first taken
up by the bohemian set in New York.
and now is rapidly spreading. Some
of the older women, not wishing to
sacrifice their locks, are said to be
wearing false bobbed hair.

EatOniC Stopped II

Mr.. @. B. Loats, writing from his
home at Lay, Nd, says, II had been
taking medicine from four specialists,
but believe me, friends, one box of
eatonic has done me more good than
all the remedies I have ever tried.
I was in awfully bad shape. About
half an hour before meals, got nerv-
Gus, trembling and heart pressure so
bad could hardly walk or talk. One
box Of eatonic stopped It."
Eatonic quickly produces these tru-
ly marvellous results. because 1t takes
UP the poisons and gases and car
ries them right out Of the body.
OF course, when the cause is removed,
the sufferer gets well.
Everyone that wants better health Is
told to have just little faith-enough
to try one box Of eatonic from your
own druggist. The cost is q trife,
which he will hand back to you If you
are not pleased. Why should you suf-
fer another day, when quick. sure re-
lief, Is waiting for you? ADV.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the az.
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re.
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.

great preparation send ten cents to DR..

Mothers Opinion.

A rather prominent Old bachelor of
Indianapolis the other evening went
home with one of his friends for
supper. Now, the friend has a six
year-old son, who is lively indeed
and the bachelor was much interested
in him. At the supper table he asked
the youngster, "Now, Bobby, when you
grow up are you going to get married
like your father did or are you going
to be an old bachelor like I amT
Back came the little fellows Inn
mediate answer: "Oh, I'm not going

me to amount to something"

nounced himself as a willing candi-
date for leap year girl.

Standard Tea Spoons.

The humble teaspoon, which is unit

in the country. is at last TO be recog
nized by the government. Its capacity
is to be fixed by the bureau Of stand
ards. and hereafter there win br no
guesswork about the quantity of bak-
ing powder used in the biscuits or in
the household remedies administered to
the children. The teaspoonful will be
standardized with all the precision that
has been given TO the yardstick or to
the avoirdupois or troy pounds.
When the doctor prescribes his doses
in teaspoonfuls he bases his calculation
on the United States fluid ounce, which
contains $50 minims. The teaspoonful
is taken to represent one eight of an
ounce of water, or sixty minims, hut
in practice it has long been known that
the capacity of the ordinary teaspoon
is uncertain. The minim, which is the
smallest of the units of volume,
weighs a little less than a grain and
corresponds to the drop" which il
approximates in size. Ii follows, then,
that sixty drops of water should be
a teaspoonful, but actually the volume
may vary as much as 20 per cent.
