LONDON, October 17.-A substan-
tial reduction In general naval arma-
ments and the renewal of the
Washington and London treaties win
be suggested by the United States
delegation In the forthcoming naval
conversations. 1t was stated authori-
tatively today.
This authority said the Americans
would be willing to eliminate the word
ratio" from any future agreement II
Japan 30 desired, replacing the word
with the term relative security"
A certain amount of belief was ex-
pressed that such . change might
eliminate any fight over the actual
parity between the United States.
Japan and Great Britain.
WIN Appeal for Sacrifices.
The American delegation, it is said.
is prepared to make q strong sug-
sestion Of mutual sacrifice on the part
Of each Of the three powers In order
to bring about an agreement and pre-
vent any new armaments race.
While 1t was said the Americans
have made no definite decision on
the caliber of battleship rifles, 1t was
regarded as probable they would be
open to any suggestions for q slight
reduction In size, provided sacrifices
on other points were made by the
other powers.
Representatives of the United States
and Japan were meeting separately
to make their final plans for the
conversations rs the British named
Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald
chairman of their own delegation.
The groups win meet as soon as
the japanese are ready.

Ambassador Tsuneo Matsudaira Of

BilateraI Talks Planned.
$ II was oficially stated Great
Britain's intention Is to carry on
the naval conversations, directed
towar1 1pme kind of agreement before
the 1875 treaty conference, bilateral-
", but It was Indicated, however, that
Great Britain has no objection toward
turning these conferences. into m in
formal, round table discussion.
The Americans are friendly to the
round table idea. but.- so far, the jap
anese oppose this method.
The British cabinet is reported to
have discussed naval questions at It's
weekly meeting but to have carried
its discussion no further than the
arrangements for the conversations.
Japanese representatives began
preparation of q draft OF proposals
for the 1885 naval conference, while
American and British delegates eager
ly awaited Tokiois plans. It is prob
able their proposals will not be dis
closed until next week.
Both Japan and the United States
hold plans for naval limitation-plans
which apparently are far apart.
Admiral Yamamoto, japanese rep
resentative, 1t Is believed, will
propose equality for the three ma
tions, with abolition of the present
ratio system. along with big re-
duction in offensive ships. Each ma
ton would build all the defensive"
ships II wants.

Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxative

Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons2
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can be con-
trolled. 1t forms no habit; you need
not take double dose" day or
two later. Nor wiH a mild liquid
laxative irritate the kidneys.
The right liquid laxative brings a
perfect movement, and there is
no discomfort at the time, or after.
The wrong cathartic may keep
you constipated as long as you keep
on using it'll And the habitual use Of
irritating salts, or of powerful drugs
in the highly concentrated form Of
pills and tablets may prove injurious.
A week with properly prepared
liquid laxative like DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin will tell you lot. A
few weeks time, and your bowels
can be as regular as clockwork."
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is an
approved liquid laxative which all
druggists keep ready for use. 1t makes
an ideal family laxative; effective for
all ages, and may be given the
youngest child. Member N. r. A.

POINTS OF VIEW
CALL FOR CODE
OF GOLDEN RULE

1T occurs to me-" said George B.
Cautious, at the weekly meeting of
the Rowanis club. that we need
some sort of national code or agree
ment fixing more definite regulations
for Individual points of view. There
Is an old expression that circum-
stances alter cases. 1t might have
been broadened to include the obser-
walton that circumstances alter points
of view, and that what man thinks
and feels one moment may be wholly
foreign to his mental reactions the
next.
''Take. for example, the man who
drives his car downtown. All the
way down, and while he Is going
through the business district, he is
motor minded He toots his horn for
pedestrians to get out of the way
and fumes If the sign changes sooner
than he expected. But the moment
he parks his car and begins to walk
his point of view changes, and he
becomes pedestrian minded. He is
severely critical of motorists who do
exactly what he did a few minutes
before. Now then, it seem to ME
that there ought to be middle
ground somewhere. Such persons
and that means all of us-should be
more tolerant of pedestrians when
they are driving, and inclined to be
broader minded when they are walk
ing.
81 know citizen who becomes flu
rious when he finds that lawn
sprinkler is throwing water where he
has to pass. But when he reaches
his own home he is likely, in season,
to start the sprinkler going. and the
spray causes pedestrians to go into
the street to avoid wetting. |
know men who permit their shrub
berry to cover most Of the sidewalk
and who declare that the shrubbery
of other like-minded citizens should
be torn out by the roots. Every day
we see men and women do things
they do not want others to do. 1t Is
proper for them. 1t seems. to take up

each other names. Then came Red

Big Tom, the Gobbler, and Mrs. Cob

Gobblers, now nearly as big as their
parents, were the next to arrive, and
Chatterer greeted them with a perfect
storm of abuse, to which they didn't

was there. Not that Peter was at all
interested in those sweet, brown nuts

was there just because he couldn't stay
away. He wanted to see what was

sweetest little nuts in the world. That
is what Buster Bear says, anyway,
but perhaps he isn't a fair judge.
Those brown three-sided little nuts
were the gift of the silver-barked
beech trees, for the joy and well-being
Of some of their feathered and furred
neighbors. All summer long those lit
tie nuts had been growing in little
prickly husks on the beautiful beech
trees. At first, they had been green,
but with the coming of fall they had
turned brown. Now had come Jack
Frost of a still October night and
opened the prickly little husks. Mer-
ry Little Breezes had shaken out the
little brown nuts and they had ratified
merrily down through the branches to
the ground and rolled this way and
rolled that way under the crisp fallen
leaves.
Now, many sharp eyes had been
watching those little husks on the
beech trees and waiting for the COM
ing Of Jack Frost to open them. The
owners of those sharp eyes knew when
Jack Frost did come. OF course. He
always makes his arrival known by
going about and slyly pinching all
whom he may find, just by way Of
greeting. So very early in the morn
ing after Jack Frost had opened the
little prickly husks, many feet turned
toward that part of the Green Forest
where grow the beautiful beech trees,
and some wings were turned in that
direction, too 1t was the day of the
annual beech-nut picnic.

When Babies Take

BY ANNE CAMPBELL

OUR neighborhood, when afternoon
~ Filings down its golden banner,
Is quiet as day in June,
Quite in the rustic manner!
There are no eager, laughing girls,
No lusty little chaps
To tease them ana to pull their curls,
When babies take their maps!
All morning they ruin up and down
Our happy neighborhood,
And many of the mothers frown,
And wish they would be good!
They run and run, and never rest,
Till mothers voice sounds "Taps!"
And brings the time we like the best,
When babies take their napsl

HOW 10 COOK EGGS

THE secret of egg cookery lies In
4 the simple principle, which Is a
rule with all protein foods, never to
cook them at high temperature, as
heat toughens and hardens protein
foods. Eggs, being the most delicate
Of these foods, should have especial
care in cooking. When we speak of
eggs as boiled hard or soft, we do not
mean boiled at all. Eggs will cook
hard at 40 to $50 degrees, depending
upon the length of time to which they
have been subjected to the heat. Eggs
to be cooked in the shell, If desired
hard, should be placed in saucepan,
using one pint of boiling water for
each egg that is Of room temperature
when put into the water; If taken from
the ice chest, more boiling water will
be needed to cook the egg. Cover
closely and let stand on the back Of
the range or in warm place for 30
minutes. The egg is then hard cooked,
but the white will be tender and cas-
lily digested. If soft-cooked egg of
various softness is desired, remove at
six, ten or twelve minutes. Once the
principle is learned for cooking eggs in
the shell 1t Is learned for other forms.
Low temperature, below the boiling
point, is used for poached eggs. When
cooking foods with eggs, place the dish
in water, especially in the oven cook
Ing. A successful meringue is one that
expands by long slow cooking in the
oven for 20 minutes in an oven of $50
to 300 degrees.
