RAILWAY ANNIVERSARY
Fiftieth Celebration Takes Place in Japan With Great Ceremonies at Tokyo Station.

Tokio, Dec. 9.-The fiftieth ami versary of the inauguration of rail- way service in Japan was celebrated recently with appropriate ceremonies in a large pavilion in front of the Tokyo central station. The crown prince read a message of congratula- ton on behalf of the emperor. About 5000 persons participated.
 The first rail of the present system was laid in 1871, the line from Tokyo to Yokohama eighteen miles, having been opened for traffic June 12, 1872. AS a souvenir for those attending there was distributed to each thin oss-section of rail bound in brass for use as a paper weight, cut from the first rails laid. More than 100 tons of such rails were cut into 170,- poo slices for this purpose.
 The first locomotive used in Japan with types of other early equipment was placed on a nearby track as an exhibit. The imperial coaches of the early days were the center of much interest.
 Indicating the growth of railway Construction by the empire statistics were published in connection with the celebration showing that in 1921 there were $500 miles of railway in Japan proper and 11,4O0 miles counting the lines In South Saghalien, Korea. For mosa and South Manchuria.

PERSHINC WANTS
 MUSIC SCHOOLS
Army Selections Fast Becoming
 Very Popular

Washington, Dee. 9.-Army music soon will compare with that ct the best orchestras and bands Of thc country. Popular music will be sup plemented by the classical master pieces and superband and orches- tra will be created from army musl- cians.
 General Pershing already has or dered the establishment here of the Army Music school and Walter Dam rosch, conductor of the New fork Symphony orchestra, has pledged him assistance in work of organization. Both are determined through the school to elevate music in the army
 The object of the school, as out lined in the orders issued by General Pershing lis to give courses Of ln- structon in music both practical and theoretical, elementary and advanced, to student -bandsmen, to advanced in- strumentalists (soloists), and to stu dent-band leaders, to standardize and perfect band music, and to supply trained personnel therein to meet as fully as possible, the needs of the service"
 The first move to better army music was made by General Pershing soon after he took over the office of chief of staff One of his first actions was to transfer the school from Fort Jay, New York, to Washington, and direct that it be reorganized as a super band" comparable only to the splen- did band which was organized in France.
 Washington, of course,' he said, would be the only place suitable for Its organization"
 These statements were contained in an exchange of correspondence be- tween the general and MT. Damrosch. The latter first was opposed to the renewal of the school from New York, believing students would have better advantages to hear good music and study it in New York than in Wash ington. He later reconsidered and offered his assistance in making the school all that the general proposed. It was Mir. DamroSch who organized the famous "Pershing's Own" at Chaumont, headquarters of the Amer ican Expeditionary Forces, which won great distinction among the military bands of the allied armies and later was sent to tour the United States during one of the Liberty Loan cam paigns.
 The movement to improve music in the Army has as it's objective the ul- timate graduation from the school of enough men to give each regiment a highly trained musical organization able to compete with the best bands and orchestras in concerts, for the public's entertainment as well as that of the army Thus, General Pershing hopes to find another tie between the army and the people of the country, to give each a better and more in timate understanding of the other and to blot out any impression that the military and citizenry must move in different circles.
 First evidences of the success of the school were exhibited recently when the students were used to vel come the various armament confer ence delegations. The school band was called upon to furnish music for the receptions at the Union station and attracted attention in every in stance by the perfection with which 1t played.

Common Sense Ways to
Keep Well
By Oh. r. =. BISHOP
RHElIMATIaM
~ "a. 2. =. eIshoF


There is no medicinal cure for rheu-
matism, but certain remedies and
measures wisely applied and carefully
followed viii provide relief.
Often people who have what they
call touches of rheumatism do not
have the disease at all. 1t may be
merely strain induced by faulty habits
Of posture in standing, walking or sit
ting or from weak feet. In such cases,
adoption OF a correct posture. living a
hygienic life viii usually cure this So
called rheumatism.
But the true rheumatism is a pus
infection. It is evident from increased
temperature and swollen joints. The
muscular pains which 1t produces IN
its victims is very similar to those in
duced by muscular strain. but it re-
quires vastly different treatment.
The trouble in rheumatism often
arises from bacteria cIogging the small
blood vessels in the Joint with the re-
suit that nutrition Is impaired. The
ba cteria1 poison actually attacks the
tissues. heat centers and central nerv-
Gus system. thus causing fever.
It usually comes from an injection
IN the head. tonsils tooth sockets or
elsewhere. Some cases. however, may
be due to the absorption OF bacteria
from the intestines.
The disease Is greatly favored by
cold and damp weather or such inflr-
ences as lower the resistance of the
bow to the infection.
