relieved OF a bad case Of stomach
trouble by Plant Juice. He said:
My wife had suffered for years

with shOrtness OF breath; she could
not sleep at night on account OF the
pain she suffered; she got so bad
that she could not even go out to
the neighb0ring store without rest

count Of not being able 20 get her
breath. She had pains In her limbs
and was in a constant state Of misery
She had taken all kinds OF different
medicines, but never got any per

Princess Gives
Watches To People
Associated Press

GENEVA, Dec. 20-The Begun
(princess) of Bhopal, India, who
bought 1000 silver watches to take
back to her people in the central In
dian state when she visited Switzer-
land in 1911, has just sent for an.
other lot of $500 timepieces. She
wants her subjects to be punctual and
not rely on the sun for the time of
day.
The Begun, or the M0hammedan
Princess of Bhopal, probaly is the
only female ruler of state in India
and is also called sultan. The throne
Of Bhopal has descended in a female
line for more than rs years and many
of the begums have displayed modern
tendencies in looking after the wei
fare of their subjects,who number
G55,000. The Sultan Jahan Begun
succeeded to the throne in 1901. Bho-
pal is the principal province Of Cen
trail India and its capital, the city of
Bhopal, has about $4,000 population.

MAY EXCLUDE
U.S.. INTERESTS
Authorities Here Fear That American
Interests viii Be
Excluded.
Associated Press

THE HAGUE, Dec. 29-United
States authorities here fear that A
merican interests will be excluded
from the great Djamba oil fields in
the Dutch East Indies if bill intro
duced in the Dutch Parliament be
adopted, This measure proposes to
give the concession to these fields to
a subsidiary Of the Batavian Oil Com
pany, The territory to be included in
the concession is described as the
most valuable petroleum ground in
the Dutch East Indies.
The field has long been the scene
of commercial rivalry between the
Dutch-English and American oil
groups. Americans here say that
the only way in which American in
terests could obtain representation
there would be for the Dutch gov
ernment to permit them to subscribe
to the stock Of the proposed handling
company to be formed to handle the
concession.
In this holding company, the Dutch
East Indian government and the Ba-
tavia company would, by provisions
of the bill, be joint stockholders, the
government sharing largely in the
profits. The government, however,
will have majority on the board Of
directors.
According to the Amsterdam Hand
elsbIad, the preferred shares, giving
a right to vote as to the control but
not as to the direct management,
which will be in the hands Of the Ba-
tavia company, win be mostly under
government control, but, in order to
placate foreign, particularly American
interests, a certain proportion Of what
are known as the "B" shares, may
be sold to foreigners with the con-
sent of the government.
A recent despatch stated that the
parliament of the Dutch East Indies
had under consideration motion OPP
posing the granting by the Dutch gov
ernment of an exclusive concession to
the Diamba oil fields without the con-
sent of the people of the colony.

Chain GrandmOthers
Broken By Death
Associated Press

ARKADELPHIA, Ark, Dec, ga
Chain Of grandmothers without par
allel, in this section, at least, has
been broken by the passing of Mrs.
Emeline Eliza Riles, 50.
Before her death, two small chill
dren of Mrs, Eliza Hanson, her great
granddaughter, had six living grand
mothers Of whom two were great
great-grandmothers, two were great
grandmothers and two were just
plain grandmothers. The Oldest Of
the Hanson children is 3 1-2 years of
age. Thus there were at one time
five living generations with less than
72 years separating the youngest from
the eldest.
The Hanson children had beside
their six grandmothers, nine uncles,
four great uncles, two great-great
uncles; four great aunts, two great
great aunts and forty second cou-
sins, but no first cousins.

Japan's Population
Increases Slowly

TOXIC, Dec. 29-Japan's popula-
ton during 1919 was increased By
only 100000 as against usual rate
of 623,O0O, according to an official
report Of the recent census. During
1919 births numbered 1,823,481 and
deaths 1,513,687, the net gain, there
fore, being 3O8,794. Reduced num-
ber Of marriages in consequence of
higher cost of living is one reason
given by the authorities for the fall
ing off. But it is probable that the
principal cause was an abnormally
heavy infant mortality due to the
influenza epidemic.
The divorce rate in 1918 is unof-
ficially returned at 112 per thousand
marriages. This compares with Ger
man divorce rate of ZIG which is the
highest in Europe. 1t should be re-
membered that these unofficial sta
tistics are subject to correction.

California made little use of the
forward pass this year probably be-
cause at no time was the team ever

against Stanford University did the
Blue and Gold men "open up" and
show they were effective in an aerial
offensive. In the last period. with
the game already won, California
tried several passes and most of them
were successful.
Charges through center have scor-
ed nearly as many California yards
az nave bucks off tackle. End runs
have also brought in gains. But the
main attack has been off tackle with
the two big Blue and Gold tackles
clearing the way for the backfield

NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTER
(From JnO. +. Clark & Co.
by Abe Silver.)

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec 29--
Liverpool at opening time Of our mar
ket showed a decline Of 72 points
against to Is lower due on our clos
ings yesterday, Spot prices Al low
er, sales 1000 bales.
This action may have been due to
the liquidation of long lines which
have been oyertaken by the new low
level, or in connection with the bank
failure in Spain, or general selling
on the general situation, which of
course would be the worst form influ~
ences. Weakness on our markets yes
terday and increasing news of weak
ening in the spot line also probably
had share in the expression given
by the foreign market, In the face
of this heavy decline abroad from low
level the entire absence Of political
news in the overnight press was rath-
er disquieting.
The Journal of Commerce says that
the plain truth is that the longer the
South holds back cotton, the lower it
goes. This expression shows that the
spirit of common action in consuming
quarters against Southern spot hold
ers is still part Of the general policy.
Market prospects on our side today
depends principally on whether there
would be any tactical support to check
the demoralizing influence Of foreign
action and waeker spot news or not.
The necessity Of some official move
to sustain confidence or some indirect
supporting action, is becoming more
prominent. The action by the North
ern markets is taken for principal
guidance because of reflecting the dis
position by big capital which stands
nearer any foreknowledge of any pos
sible supporting changes in the situa-
ton. Leading cotton sources in New
York still advise that even in the face
Of this decline it is best to consider
conservative buying policy. A stock
market report said: "Quiet few indi-
cations of strong interests accumulat-
ing in preparation for better condi-
tions next year"
First trades here were 40 to so
down but as N. Y. showed better than
expected and Liverpool rallied about
30 points from the lowest, the loss
here soon became reduced to 20 points.
Trading consists mostly Of moves for
smaller intermediate changes with the
market waiting for developments sur
rounding.
