JAPAN REALLY BACK NUMBER
Writer Brings Forward Arguments TO
Prove That the Chinese Are the
More Progressive.

1t may strike the western reader as
simply funny, but more than one Chi
nese friend has assured me that it is
the Japanese people who are really
conservative. And they back up their
assertion by evidence other than the
way in which japan has clung through
all historic vicissitudes, to a primitive
theocracy, John Dewey writes in Asia
Magazine. They point out. for exam
pie that thousand years ago the Jap
anese borrowed the present style Of
clothing and Of household furnishing,
Of sitting and sleeping on mats, from
China; that China has changed sew
eral times, moving constantly In the d.
rection of practical utility, of ingeni-
Gus adaptation of means to needs. The
Chinese cuisine is another argument.
1t is doubtless the most extensive in
the world in the variety of material
employed for food, and also the most
varied In it's combinations. Academic
analysis may despise arguments drawn
from food, clothing, shelter and fur
nishings. But when one notes the va
riety and ingenuity of the processes
and appliances used in daily life and In
the crafts, one Is certain that the Chi
nese mind Is naturally obServant and
adaptive. But 1t seems unnecessary to
labor the question. Many charges have
been brought against the Chinese, but
no one has ever accused them OF stu
pidity. Their undoubted conservatism
Is something to be explained rather
than an explanation of anything.

MISSOURI VOTERS ;
SELECTING CANDIDATES

Jefferson City, Mo-, August g.
Missouri voters are today selecting
candidates for national and state Of
fees with prohibition as the outstand-
ing isue. The league of nations is
also principle issue in the Democrat
ic contest for the United States SEN
atorial nomination.
Disclosures incident to the presiden-
tial campaign exposures are expected
to play part in the voting. The As
sociation of Missouri Republicans or
ganized as result of the disclosures,
prepared a statement endorsing all
candidates not aligned with national
committeeman Jacob J. Babler and
state chairman w. l.. Cole, whose
names were mentioned in connection
with the Lowden and Harding funds
funds, respectively.
Former Federal Judge Henry S.
Priest, one of the five candidates for
the Democratic Senatorial nomination
made the race on a "wet" and anti
league platform, while Charles M.
Hay, st. Louis lawyer, declared him
self in favor of prohibition and the
league pact as written at Versailles.
| Breckinbrige Long, former Assistant
Secretary Of State and the Rev. Ar
thur Lindsay campaign Phohi-League
and Enforcement platforms.
George H. Scrutch, owner of the Sc
dalia Democrat, declared for the cove
nant and modification of the Vol
stead law.
In the Republican Senatorial race
Dwight S. Davis, formerly colonel
in the 35th Division, announced his op-
position to prohibition, while his oppo-
nent, Senator Selden P. Spencer,
stress his vote for the Volstead law
over President Wilson's veto. James
L. Minnis, a lawyer, announced he fa-
vors law enforcement. Prohibition
also has been injected into the Demo-
cratic Gubernatiorial contest. Repre-
sentative Frank M. Atkinson, law
yer, is an admitted "dry." Charles H..
Mayer took no pronounced stand on
the question.
The Republican side: Arthur NJ.
Hydex is an avowed dry, while his op-
ponent, E. E. McJimsey, owner of the
Springfield Republican, like Mayer has
never committed himself.

"Rent Free" Houses.

At Llewelyn, Pa, there are 60 empty
houses, which for years have stood un-
tenanted, veritable deserted village
in the beautiful valley of the West
Branch of Chester creek. Even the
war with it's demands, failed to repeo-
pie the town. About month ago some
of the houses were rented and jitney
line was established between the town
and Chester. Still there remained 60
houses that were fast going into decay
by reason Of not being occupied. The
owners conceived the idea of having
the properties fixed up by giving them
rent free to workmen who would repair
them and take care Of them. The only
stipulations made in selecting tenants
are that they be respectable and thrift
ty people who will take pride in main
tanning and improving the houses and
that they agree to make all repairs at
their own expense.

DOES YOUR BABY
SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT?

Baby's sleep is important. At
birth baby sleeps about nine-tenths of
the time and should take daily nap
until about four years old. A quiet,
peaceful sleep is sign of perfect
health, while disturbance of sleep is
almost always due to improper feed
ing, which causes indigestion, consti-
patton, sour stomach, gas,etc.
A baby specialist, while admitting
that a good baby laxative should be
used in such cases, warns mothers
against the use of strong, irritating
drugs that cause inflammation of the
delicate membrane Of baby's stomach,
and recommends "Baby Ease" per-
fected baby laxative by baby special

Baby Ease is excellent for all dis
orders of the stomach and digestion in
babies and children. 1t is easy-acting.
non-irritating, does not produce over
action or leave baby constipated. 1t is

laxative. If "Baby Ease fails to cor
rect these troubles after a few doses,

thorough examination. "Baby Ease"
may be had from your druggist.-Ad.

VIII motorcars in the future per-

The question Is suggested by the
statement that a quarter of a million
gallons of motor spirit can be produced
in the Hyderabad state of India by
distilling the flowers Of the mowra
tree.
Mowra flowers ore very rich in su-
gar, and a ton Oi"Hle dried flowers
produces as much as 90 gallons of %

been in use for the preparation Of a
native alcoholic liquor; but only a

TO PRISON FOR WlTCHCRAFT
Canadian Authorities Revive Ancient
Statute That Will Appear Absurd to
Modern Understanding.

1t has been a little more than 200
years since anyone was convicted OF
witchcraft on this continent, says the
Columbus Dispatch, and we supposed
that there would never again be any
more convictions. But 1t seems that
such prosecutions have been revived,
for here comes a report from a Cana
dian court to the effect that young
woman over there has lately been SEN
fenced to prison for 'practicing witch
craft" for all the world like the ac-
cusations that used to be filed against
people In this country.
The young woman in this case
claimed to be able to tell who commit
ted certain theft in her neighborhood.
She said q farmers oats had been
stolen by a man and boy; that they
drove a bay mare, and proceeded west
ward after the robbery, and that they
would be found at a certain place,
about 40 miles away. The officers
found her story to be true, and ar
rested the parties who robbed the
farmer, but as the young woman who
gave the information was in no po-
sfton to know the facts she related
except through communing with 1.-The
spirits" people began talking about
her being witch, with the result that
an ancient statute was invoked and
the girl prosecuted and sent to jail
for her pains in aiding the officers Of
the law. If it were not all duly record
ed In the newspapers we could not be-
lieve 1t.
