worship, and. above all, their Savior were their, joy. They were not pa. tr1otc soldiers, and disapproved ot the church taking part in politics"
 Miss Emma NJ Palethorpe of On. tario, a member of the Canadian Pres. byterian mission at Yongjung, tells In her statement of the execution of five men from the village of Suchilgo who, she says, were led by the Jap anese soldiers to the top of a hill about three miles from Yongjung and there put to death.
 Tn the top of the hill," she de. clares, there is quite large hollow not visible from the road or village. The victims were made to sit at the bottom of this, where they were slashed at with swords. It Is reported by an eyewitness that two swords were broken and then the awful work was finished with bayonets. Then the loose earth was pushed down from the sides of the hollow to cover the mu- tilated bodies"
 In answering inquiries at the Jap oAASoO wal NOIO06l Hata told fNa press correspondent that the number of Japanese troops employed in the Chienta affair was 5000, not 15OOO. Villages had been burned, he said, but only in cases where the majority of the inhabitants were known to be in league with the outlaws.
 Referring to the charge that an or ganized attempt was made ito wipe out the whole Christian community" Colonel Hata said that it was possible that a majority of those who had been executed were Christians, but they were not punished for their religion but for handitry and rebellion. No charge was made against the mission aries.
 Colonel Hata. while admitting that harsh measures had been adopted, said bad conditions had existed in that dis trict for long time owing to the unchecked activities of Chinese ban dits, Korean outlaws and Russian Bol- sheviki. He said he was confident that the Japanese soldiers had not been guilty of the barbarity with which they had been charged.

SCENERY BIG PART OF PLAY
Modern Theatrical Productions Evi- dentIy Depend Great Deal on
 the Stage Settings.


 "The Beggar's Opera" is now being presented -in New York with the com pany that was gathered for the Lon don revival, and settings which also crossed the ocean. It was not that 1t was cheaper to bring the scenery over, but simply because 1t would have been impossible to duplicate the original sets without doing a great deal of Eighteenth century research work that would mean going over the same ground that had been carefully covered by the London designer.
 The situation is hardly a parallel to that of ''Iser Own Way" the Clyde Fitch comedy which could not be played for several days after the date set for the London opening because the scenery had been put on a steamer other than that taken by the company. Fitch had written this play with intri- cate, though unobtrusive. scenic effects, constantly in thought. The result was that, broadly speaking, the special scenery for this play actually did some Of the acting.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never
 Suspect It
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 Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as- tonishing statement that one reason why 70 many applicants for insurance are re- jected is because kidney trouble is 30 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. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
 However, if yhl wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. r., for sample bDttle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Adv.

people the opportunity to associate with persons of the opposite sex un- der conventional circumstances, and it helps uphold conventional society.
 Modern dancing is partly sensual. partly an expression of a love for rhythm and partly much-needed exer- else. All of these functions are natural and therefore the appeal of dancing cannot help but be widespread. Our highly conventional society suppresses great many natural pleasures. but dancing has not been abolished by the blue law reformers yet, and it is one

ADVERTISING IN 0LDEN DAYS
Collection in Pennsylvania Museum Shows 1t Was Fine Art Few
 Generations Ago.

Advertising was fine art in Phila- delphia when. Dock street was a canal The proof that the merchants and business men of those days were cog nizant of the value of printers ink is large collection of billheads, cards. newspapers and e. other advertising media that has just been purchased by the Pennsylvania museum for dis play in Memorial hall.
 In those days every business man of note used the columns of the news papers. The front pages of the dailies of the time were devoted largely to advertising matter.
 Virtually all of the business men also used elaborately decorated bill heads, generally copper plate engraV- ings. The custom was copied from England, although the Philadelphia printers often struck an original style. Philadelphia Public Ledger.

of the very few natural pleasures left.
 ''The overemphasis.t that is sometimes placed on dancing is the result of what psychologists know as inhibitions. Un- less normal instincts get an expression or have some compensation they are apt to burst out in unusual forms.
 ''For instance, all women have the maternal instinct and the modern bachelor woman, her instinct unsatis- fled and repressed, compensates by taking a passionate interest in ani- mals, or else she becomes champion of feminism'

Millions Recovered

London. Dec. J.-By Maii).-
Nearly S2S,OOO,OOO worth Of bullion

Ireland by a German submarine.

be still at the bottom Of the sea.
Great difficulties have been en-
countered by the salvage crew, for
after three years. pounding by the
Atlantic swels the liner has been
transformed into a heap of twisted
debris. Her decks. which settled
down on the sea bottom, cover an
area of several hundreds Of feet. The
wreck was practically covered with
gravel and silt, as it is In a position
in which 1t received the full force of
