Present Rates
w ill DESTROY
Fruit Industry

Charges that the railroads are
spreading the story that commission
men and brokers are responsible for
high prices in an attempt to deceive
the public and get away with high
freight rates were made by Charles
j. Brand OF Pittsburgh, vice presi-
dent and general manager Of the
American Fruit and Vegetable As
sociation, in testimony given before
the joint commission OF the Sente
and House which is conducting an
inquiry into. what is wrong with ag-
ricultural conditions. Mr.. Brand un-
til two years ago was chief Of the
Federal marketing bureau.
eff the present rates are main
tanned by the railroads for another
year the agriculture. stock-growing
and fruit-raising industries Of this
nation will be absolutely ruined. The
freight charges of the association
represent have been increased from
$2,5OO,OOO to $4,0OO.0Oo a year on
the same amount Of business by the
last schedule of rates fixed by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. %
Hundreds of millions Of dollars
of investment are threatened by pre-
vailing rates." said Mr.. Brand. 'sIt
seems hard to make the railroads
realize it, but they are crucifying
their own industry along with our
other basic industries"
Mr.. Brand gave some startling IL

fng bled white at one end Of the rail-
road line and the consumer robbed

railroads had been paid s50S.e1 for
hauling.
For hauling a carload of peaches
from Leesburgh. Va, distance Of
only 80 miles, the railroad charged
S217, which was SO per cent OF the
total received by the grower.
Several carloads of early cabbage
shipped from Texas to Chicago re-
suited in loss of $73 per car to the
grower after the railroads had COL

to inaugurate licensing system that

ion of the witness.
Says Credit Is Prime Need
Carl Vrooman, former Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture, told the
commission that foreign market
to take the surplus produce of the
American farmer was essential to
relieve the situation.
Foreign countries want all the
produce we have, but can not buy
for lack of credit" said Mr.. vroo-
man. "The United States government
is the only agency which can estab-

JAPAN'S FOREIGN
 TRADE IS NORMAL
Increase Is Not Marked, Expert Says, and Specie Will De-
 crease Slowly
By Associated Press

Tokio, February 26.-That Japan's foreign trade would show no remarkable increase of imports in the future and that consequently there would be no mark ed decreases in the amount of SJapan's specie holdings, was the opinion voiced by Governor 1nouye of the Rank of Japan addressing the Tokio bankers. Governor lncuye was referring to existing adverse conditions in Japanse commercial and industrial life

ACID IN STOMACH
 S0URS THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid Is Cause of Indigestion

A well-known authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion are near sly always due to acidity-acid stomach and not, as most folks believe, from a lack of digestive juices. He states that an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermentation, then our meals sour like garbage in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which initiate the stomach like a toy balloon. We then get that heavy. 'lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas, or have heart burn, f1atulsnce water-brash, or nausea. { He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids, and instead get from any pharmacy four ounces of lad Salts and take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast while it is effervescing, and furthermore. to continue this for one week. While relief follows the first dose, it is important to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass. start the liver. stimulate the kidneys and thus promote free flow of pure diges- tive juices.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the ~cid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sodium phos- phate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people for stomach trouble with excellent results.-Adv.

Japan In China
From "A Goal for Japanese Ambition by IL n p RIaud in, Asia AGo

From "A Goal for Japanese Ambition
 by J. o. F. Bland, in Asia Magazine.
 Everything in Japan's history, since her first successful war with China de- termined the fate of Korea, justifies the
 conclusion that the future policy of her far-seeing rulers and their solution Of her vital food problem, will tend rather in the direction of economic than of ter ritorial expansion. Ten years ago when korea was formally annexed and became part of the Japanese empire, and later, when Japan's special interests in Man cnuria were asserted and made effec- tive, 1t was generally expected that these comparatively unpopulated and un- developed regions would rapidly absorb larEp number of Japanese immigrants But practical experience has shown that the class of emierant who goes to Korea and Manchuria is rarely . tiller of the soil; the great majority are artisans. shopkeepers and small traders. The broad fact stands out in both countries that as day laborer or farmer, the Japanese immigrant cannot compete either with the native or with the Chinese settler.
 In Mongolia it is the same story A broad tide of Chinese settlers. mostly hardy farmers from Shantung, has been steadily flowing northward throughout all that region, ever since the Mongolian colonization bureau of the Chinese gov- ernment began work in earnest in 190e, under Gnu Chi-chien. There are, of course, large tracts of country still un- touched by the blow. but it can be only brief time before the tide of China's surplus millions flows over them all. Nothing but exclusion acts, forcibly ap- piled, can ever stem that tide: the prov ince of Shantung alone, with it's popu- lation of so to the square mile, could probably fill up the whole of eastern Mon golia in one generation Against these thrifty pioneers even the best of Jap anese farmers cannot hope to compete; and they know it. Japan may obtain political and administrative control of these undeveloped regions; profiting by the demoralization of Russia, she may establish there her strategic and eco homie position; but the Chinese will surely inherit the land.
 { I believe that recognition of this fact has modified the Japanese governments policy, not only in China. but in Man. churia and Mongolia, and that the idea of eastern Asia as a wide field for Jap anese immigration has gradually come to be repiaced by a policy of comDercial and industrial expansion in those re- gions. which shall feed Japan's home in- dustries as India feeds those of Great Britain. When we view the matter in this light, we perceive why Japanese lib- eralism (as distinct from the military party) is doing all that 1t can to gain and retain the good will of tbe Chinese, while at tho same time losing no oppess

SATURN'S SECOND
 RING IS MONSTER:
 2,OO0 MILES THICK
Harvard Astronomer Makes Observations From. Mound vile Station and An
 nounCeS Total
By Assoclated pre.s

Cambridge, Mass, Februarv 2s-.The ] Inner ring of the planet Saturnx known 10 astronomers as the "crepe ring" ou account of the fact that it is much less brilliant than the others, has thickness or 1000 miles, while the other rings are very much thinner, according to obser. vations made by Prof. William H. Pick ering of Harvard at the Harvard astro- nomical station at Vaudeville, Jamaica.
 The thickness of the rings of Saturn is matter which has long attracted the, . interest of astronomers. This planet is surrounded by what appears through a small telescope to be a single flat ring of exceeding thinness Through a. larger telescope this is seen to be in reality three concentric rings.
 Every l6 years or so the earth passes through the plane of these rings, which are then in ae position edgewise to the earth So thin are they that for a while they disappear and cannot be seen until the earth moves out of their plane. This phenomenon occurred on November 2 and will occur again on February g and August of this year, after which there will be no opportunity of observing it again for 16 years.
 Professor Pickering reports that he ob- served the rings just before and after the November transit, and found the inner ring to be thicker than the others. esti- mating it to be 2,000 miles thick. He also reports that in the outer edge of the sec ond ring the meteors seem to be more concentrated than elsewhere. Astrono- mers believe these rings to be composed of innumerable small meteors revolving g in dense swarms about the middle DOT tions of the. planet.
 Professor Pickering hopes to make fur ther observations during the February transit. He is also engaged in studying the canals on the planet Mars and in searching for the still undiscovered planet which is believed to revolve around the sun far outside the orbit Of Neptune, the outermost planet yet dis covered in the solar system.
