Japan has Lost
 Almost All Her
 Chinese Business

San Francisco, Feb. 14- Japan has lost SC percent of her trade with China since the imposition of the boycott on Japanese goods laet May, according to Mohan T Y. zi, of Shanghai, delegate of the Chi nege General Chamber of Commerce to the national foreign trade con vention to be held here in May.
 Commissioner Zi. member Of one of the greatest importing and exporting houses in China, is mak- ing g tour of leading American cit ies. and will return here in time for tho convention.
 Speaking of Japan's loss of the trade it had built up with China during the war, reaching q volume of hundreds of millions of dollars, Commissioner Zi told of the oppor- tunities soffered to Americans.
 "As Q condition precedent to this great trade opportunity for America in China, the primary considerations are better cable facilities and more ships" he said "American cotton exports to China up to the time when this country entered the war, approximated $100o00, 900, The great bulk of this trade, immediate ly upon your exports stopping, was secured by Japan, which obtaining the raw product from China, manu- factured the cotton and sent the finished product back for Chinese markets.
 '.Since the boycott, due to the Shantung situation, this great cot ton market has been left practically open, and one of my chief missions in this country is to establish con- nections with great cotton export CTS. China is uprently in need of materials of hardware and of elec- 5rical equipment. In the latter line Japanese products are suffering from the boycott and the field E wide open.
 "While to the outside world the trouble, between Northern and Southern China seems important, 1t has no great bearing on the mercan- tile aud industrial life of China. These ,Sfactional differences are the product of political groups seeking poweIl
 ' "Thejautomobile industry is capa- ble of1 tremendous development, as the Chinese are, very partial to Ameridan motors of good modern style Ind quality and at the low est price consistent with these quail ifications."
 Chinsse are also making strides in the development of industries and building up the manufactures of theirs own country, Commissioner Zi said He alsoNpointed ont that Amer ican business men made 9 mistake in dealing with YeompTadores native commission mefchahts) at Chinese ports. rather than with Chinese inl- porting and exporting houses, who, better understanding their problems talking the language of their clients, operated more economically and ef-- ficiently in behalf of foreign trad arc

 Due to Deficit

Santiago, Chile, Feb. 14-soft coal sells in Chile at about $25 a ton, although the cost .of it's pro- duction is said to be about $5.0G a ton at the most The deficit in the earnings of the railways is attribut- ed here to the high price of coal.

TAXES IN GERMANY HEAVY
individuals Are Beginning to Feel That
Country Really Suffered Defeat
in the War.

The individual German has not be-
gun to feel the peace terms, finan-
cially.
During the war the Germans have
been loaning their money to the gov
eminent. This year they have begun
to give 1t.
There is an estate tax graduated as
to size and as to relationship. 1t i'm
poses the heaviest tax on the largest
inheritance from the most distant rel
alive.
A peculiar feature of this law, illus
trating its severity, is a provision that
in no case may the tax exceed the
amount of the inheritance taxed. No
mean cousin can leave spite money"
which would compel the recipient TO
pay more than he got, anyhow.
An income tax ranges to about 70
per cent as the income grows.
There is a profits tax and a heavy
tax on wealth increases during the
war-to get the profiteers-the usual
taxes for revenue, heavier than ever,
and a capital levy is being considered.
With food, coal and clothing short,
they are bound TO add to the discon-
tent. Agitators will make the most of
the crisis.
But Germany has weathered two
crises as serious: In the most difficult
months just after the surrender a year
ago; and the peace conference period,
when she woke up, as loser to the
terms.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex,
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by Those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re.
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR.
kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact
so many people claim, that it fulflls al.
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri'
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

easily prepared in various ways.

TO cook raw potatoes is to cube them

soned or turned into a rich white
sauce which has been prepared while
the potatoes were cooking.
Hot breads may be prepared in q

served with French dressing. This is
a most appetiZing salad.
Any leftover vegetables can be cubed
into a combination salad: beets, peas

Celery and nuts are good combined
with any kind of fruit. If one has
canned fish, shrimp or lobster, with
celery and cabbage a most nourstng
salad or a main dish may be prepared
which will be very satisfying.
A meat loaf with baked potatoes
may be cooked in three-Quarters of an
