Stewed Raisins

What DR.. J. H. Kellogg says Or.
kelloggi is head Of the famous Battle
Creek Sanitarium):
"Raisins are served on the Battle
Creek Sanitarium table every day.
A pound of raisins has twice the
food value, an equal amount Of iron
and seven times as much food lime
as a pound Of choicest lean steak.
The sugar Of raisins is much more
wholesome than ane sugar, requir-
ing no digestion and being absorbed
in one-fourth the time required for
ordinary sugar.
IF the American people would eat
more raisins and less meat. the re-.
suits would be better digestion, less
rheumatism, less Bright's disease,
less heart disease, greater efficiency
and longer life"

DELEGATES FAVOR
LIBERTY FOR CHINA
Japan Regrets the Tendency
towards Examination Into
"Minor Matters"

Washington, D. G. Japan Joined
with the other powers in an express
sion of sympathy for the national as
pirations of China, but added a post
script regretting any tendency toward
detailed examination by the arma-
ments conference into ''innumerable
minor matters" in the Far East. In
a statement emitting mention of spe-
cific points Of controversy between
the two countries, the Japanese dele
cation informed the conference dele
gates that their government claimed
no special rights and privileges" in
the procurement of raw materials
from China, harbored no policy of
territorial aggrandizement," at Chira's
expense, and was ready to join in any
readjustment OF extra territorial
rights which appeared fair and sat
isfactory."
To enter upon an examination of
details, the statement declared, would
be an attempt likely to result in "un-
due prOtraction of the discussions
a reiteration of the objection Japan
has expressed repeatedly against re-
opening the many controversies in
the Far East.
In turn, Great Britain, France.
Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and
Portugal expressed in broad terms
their desire for the emancipation of
China through commercial liberty and
preserved territorial integrity, a gen
eral position already having the ad-
herence of the United States.
conference was held between
Secretary Hughes, Arthur ]. Balfour
and Admiral Baron Kato, respective
heads of the American, British and
Japanese delegations. All three de-
clined to talk about the meeting, but
the inference was drawn that they
had met to consider further plans of
procedure for the naval armaments
negotiations in which the three gov
ernments are the chief participants.

Estimates Are That the Bill VIII Re-

Washington. ID. c. BY a vote OF
2S2 10 1O9, the House approved the

cratic side to send the measure back
to conference with instructions to the
House managers TO accept the Senate
amendment increasing the inheritance
taxes. Forty-two Republicans voted
for the motion, while four Democrats
voted against it,
In the four hours debate which pre-
ceded the voting, Chairman Fordney,
of the House managers, said the
measure in its present form would
yield total revenue this fiscal year
Of $3.216. 100000, or $46,00O,O00 less
than the amount the treasury depart
ment had estimated would be needed
He thought this deficit could be wiped
out by further economies by the va
rious federal departments.
Representative Mondell of Wyom-
ins. the Republican leader, told the
House that best estimates were that
the bill would reduce taxes by S70,-
100000 this calendar year and by
$685. 900 900 in the next calendar year.
He praised the bill as "a splendid
measure" except that it did not re.
duce the maximum surtax rate sufli-
ciently.
Representative Garner of Texas.

means committee. who made the prin-
cipal attack on the bill from the mi.

measure would not raise the required
amount of revenue by from $500. .OOO,.

ed the measure was "a monstrosity,"
adding that a prominent Republican
senator had announced that it would
have to be rewritten within a year.

"DRYS" ARREST PENN
UNIVERSITY TEACHER
Or. Koenig Taken With Four
TruCkmen Unloading Liquor
At His Home

Philadelphia. - Five men, among
them DR.. Augustus Koenig, instruct.
or in metallurgy at the University
OF Pennsylvania, were arrested
charged with having shipped wine
and brandy valued at $4,000 into
Philadelphia illegally. After a hear.
ing before a magistrate DIR. Koenia
was released in $4,000 bail. The
other four prisoners, all truckmen,
were held in $1,000 each They will
be turned over to the Federal au
thorities for a hearing.
The arrests were made when the
men attempted to unload the liuuor
from trucks at the home Of DR..
Koenig, who, the police said, was su-
pervising the work
The liquor is alleged to have been
obtained from New York concern
on permit of Rabbi Ben Zion Hoff-
man of this city to withdraw wines
for sacramental purposes. Prohibition
enforcement officers said the permit
either was illegal or forged
Rabbi Hoffman said that he had
made application for a quantity of
wines for sacramental purposes and
that the permit evidently got into
the hands of men who, instead of
withdrawing religious wines. pur-
chased fancy French wines and
brandies." Police who made the ar
rests said there were several cases
of fancy table wines and cognac in
the trucks.
Rabbi Hoffman denied statements
of the police that the wine had been
shipped to him and that he had asked
DR.. Koenig to store it for him be-
cause he had no room at his home.

JAPANESE RULER
QUITS THRONE
Emperor, Suffering From Men
tai Trouble, Unable TO Attend
to Affairs of State
CROWN PRINCE MADE REGENT
No Prospect of Prompt Recovery
Hopes Are Held For No Aggra-
Vatioi of His Condition
In the Near Future.

Tokio.-Crown Prince Hirohito has
been designated regent of Japan. An
imperial rescript making the an
nouncement was issued by Emperor
Yoshihito. 1t said:
I'VE are unable to attend in person
to the affairs of state, on account of
protracted illness, and accordingly ap-
point Crown Prince Hirohito regent,
with the approval of the council of
princes, the imperial family and the
privy councillors"
1t bears the imperial signature and
that of the crown prince and is signed
also by Baron Maxine, minister of
the imperial household; Premier Ia
kahashi and the cabinet ministers.
Spontaneously a bulletin was is
sued, stating that the emperor's men
tai condition was such as to preclude
his further attention to state duties,
traceable to an affliction of his in
fancy. 1t added that there was no Sc
rious development in his physical con-
dition.
According to DR.. Ikebe, chief physi-
clan to Emperor Yoshihito, his condi-
tion has changed little since last Oc-
tober. Restraint of speech and ner-
vous debility are declared by the ply
sician to be his chief ailments.
The emperor continues the eccen-
tricities which have marked his con-
dition, but DR.. Ikebe reports they are
not as frequent as formerly He re-
quires assistance only in mounting
stairs. His appetite does not show
signs Of serious decline. While there
is no prospect of prompt recovery,
there is no reason to look for an ag-
gravation of his condition in the near
future.
