Polished Tables.

Polished dining room tables will be
kept in very good condition If, after
every peal. cloth wrung out of vine
gar and water is used to wipe them
with. This saves a good deal of un-
necessary polishing. Oak tables that
are very much begrimed will be i'm
proved by this treatment. Scrub with
soft soap to which a small handful of
baking soda is added, repeating two or
three times if necessary Then wipe
over with linseed oil, let this soak in,
and the next day wipe again with a
little methylated spirit. Clean with
furniture polish in the usual way.

A very narrow belt IS Of three

It has a red shawl collar and cuffs of
this gay colored silk also. The belt
Is entirely of the red. The buckle is
covered with the same red silk.
A belt, scarcely wider, although of
eight strands, Is of silk cord of many
colors. Each cord matches one of the
colors Of the figured crepe de chine.
While such a belt is easier to make
because none Of the strands have to
be prepared, but are ready for imme-

finishes for ends. A plain black buckle
completes this belt and the cord tips
are bound down with silk binding tape.

manner of forming this letter is an
indication of one who is ambitious for

We might also Judge her to be Of a

expect too much from life and in that
case may suffer many disappointments
She probably has many friends and
as time goes on will doubtless find
many more. She will discover, how
ever, that the old friends are usually
more staunch and true. They will help
shield her from disagreeable expert

Smart Braided and Embroidered Belts

A narrow, plain belt the color Of q
silk or wool frock is given distinction
by a strip of embroidery in the same
color across the back center, and again
across the front. No buckle is worn
with this belt, but snaps are sewed at
one side where the embroidery ends in
front. This Is a very conservative belt
and Is for a matron. For a young
woman or girl, the embroidery can be
of colors to match those in the frock
or to supply added color to one-toned
dress.

CONGRESS GETS
BILL TO STEADY
U. S. INDUSTRY
La Toilette Measure Plans
Formation of National
Economic Council.

By Scripps-HotcGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The
drive for establishment of a ma
tional economic council, to begin the
task Of correlating economic facts
and guiding national economic pol
icy began today with introduction
by Senator Robert M. La Toilette of
new measure for accomplishing
this, revised after months of study
and discussion of the problem.
La Toilette first proposed such a
bill in the last congress, and the
committee on manufactures has
been holding hearings on it for three
months, summoning the country'S
most prominent business men and
economists to Washington to dis
cuSS it.
The new measure follows closely
recommendations submitted along
this line by the unemployment COM
mittee of the Progressive confer
ence.
The La Toilette bill calls for APP
pointment by the President of a
council of nine members. The du-
ties of this board would be:
To assemble a nation wide stalls
teal survey of all information es-
sential to a national plan for pro-
duction, and, so far as possible, for
consumption also.
To initiate representative organiz-
ing councils in all branches of pro-
duction and distribution, including
finance, for the purpose Of setting
up such permanent organizations as

dure cold and hardship. Just as
the Japanese farmer in California
has lower standard of living than
the American and is able to under
cut the American farmer, driving
him out, so the Chinese farmer in
Manchuria, with his lower standard,
drives out the Japanese.
With japanese colonization of
Manchuria so unsatisfactory, ia
pans interests in that country are
centered almost entirely on the
mineral resources. Japanese shops
and mills urgently need the raw
materials that Manchuria can sup
ply. If the Manchurian situation
were to shape itself so that Japan
lost the coal, iron and trade of
Manchuria, the Japanese empire
would be precipitated into a serious
economic crisis, DR.. Thompson

OXFORD, o., Dec. 23.-If Japan
ever looked northward to Man
churia and dreamed of a great
promised land" where some of her
crowded millions could journey to
make home, that probably has
faded.
In the past few years, immigrants
from Japan, as we'll as from China,
have moved in to take Manchuria' S
untitled fields and to settle as
pioneers. For the japanese the ex-
pertinent has not been a success.
This is the conclusion of an
American student of population, DR..
Warren S. Thompson, director Of
the Scripps Foundation for Re-
search in Population Problems, and
professor at Miami university, here.
RiceIess Manchuria
Or. Thompson visited the Far
East during this last year, observ-
ing results of the experiment in
human settlement now going on in
the laboratory of Manchuria.
Manchuria is not home to the
Japanese settler, and he does not
seem to be able to make it so, said
DR.. Thompson. The Japanese has
eaten rice all his life. But when
he takes his family to Manchuria,
he finds that rice can not be grown
in that northern country. He must
learn to raise soybeans, millet, and
kaffir corn. His wife must learn to
cook these foods, and the family
must accustom themselves to the
new diet.
Manchurias climate, too, is I'M
familiar to the Japanese pioneer.
Winter grips the land in bitter cold,
driving winds, and deep snow. Jap
anese house-building and house
Keeping are not Of the sort that pro-
tect against such weather. More
over, the japanese heredity is far
more tropical than northern. AS
DR.. Thompson puts it, the Japanese
has about ten drops of Malay blood
IN his veins to three or four drops
of Mongol blood. To such a race a
sub-arctic climate is almost in
tolerable.
Few Jap COIOnists
In all Manchuria today, there are
not more than 10000 families of
japanese filling the soil, DR.. Thomp-
son estimates. And even these are
not real pioneers, breaking new
ground. Most of them are to be
found on small truck farms near
cities, supplying produce to their
own people in the cities.
To add to the handicaps of Jam
snese settlement in Manchuria, mil
lions OF Chinese have come troon-
ing into the country, to show how
TINS northern land can be tanned
by people who are at home in it.
1t has been generally estimated
that no less than a million Chinese
have been entering Manchuria every
year. DR.. Thompson now regards
this estimate as too high. Proba-
ply not more than 100000 Chinese
have settled in Manchuria in anv
year, ne believes. And in the last
three or four Years the figure has
dropped to about half that.
Can Not Maintain Standards
Even this reduced estimate gives
Manchuria population of Is, OOO, 900
to 100000, most of them Chinese.
The Chinese settlement of Man
churia is recognized as one of the
most extensive migrations of people
In the worlds history.

STOP BAD BREATH

Thousands of people afflicted with
bad breath find quick relief through
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets. The
pleasant, s~ugar-coated tablets are
taken for bad breath by all who
know.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act
gently but firmly on the bowels and
liver, stimulating them to natural
action, clearing the blood and gently
purifying the entire system. They
do that which dangerous calomel
does without any of the bad after
effects.
Olive Tablets brings no gripping
pain or any disagreeable effects.
DR.. f. NJ. Edwards discovered the
formula after 20 years of practice
among patients afflicted with bowel and
liver complaint, with the attendant bad
breath.
Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable
compound; you will know them by
their olive color. Take nightly for a
week and note the effect. 15c, SOC, 6Oc.
