Tokio, Sept. 1.—~Premler Hara cently told a delegation from the House ot Peers, say Japanese newspapers, in | response to questions referring to the labor unrest and the general agitation against the high cost of living, that the question of remedy was the most urk- ent matter at present confronting the Japanese empire. Personally, he be- lieved the most effective remedy to be education. The government was mak ing efforts for the encouragement of education, although there is much to be done for the development of public spirit and soclal morality ““At present although Japan fering from the high cost of living, the premier sald, ‘‘various measures are being taken for the regulation of e re- is suf-| With Cuticura Talcum An y ecented, antiseptic - 'GHves quick relief to sun- or lrritated skins, ovescomes heavy ation, and imparts a Ry porspirsdon. ond tmpre o g fragr the skin sweet and wholesome.

Thomas, was admit- 4 to probate in Chicago today, after the filing of the appearance of the Duchess de Chaulnes, a daughter. It was necessary to file a copy of the will which was originally probated in Chicazo, P. 8 New York in Chicago because $100,- 000 worth of real estate mentioned in the will is located in Cook County The appearance of the Chaulnes was sent from England and the signing wa by Helena, the Duchess of Mancheste:.

Doctors Preach Prevention Is Better Than Cure. Ninety per cent of all disease is preventable, so doctors say. Eat simple food, exercize wisely, sleep sufficiently, and—what is vitally im- portant—make sure of the daily, regular, thorough elimination of body waste, and the chances are nine to one that you will keep well, work efficiently and enjoy life. Bowel elimination of food and tissue waste is all-important. But in case of ir- regularity, disordered or imperfect | action do not make the common mis- | take of taking harsh, violently acting | medicines, with the idea of forcing | the bowels to act. Nature believes in mild methods. She responds best to persuasion. So in selecting a simple remedy to regulate and assure proper bowe! action, you should not use harsh o» wiolently acting remedies, no matter how much has been claimed for them. You should cLoose some well- known, time testod, trial proven remedy, that has :ade its reput.tion | by being used for many rear., by all sorts of people, all over the world. | Take Beecham’s Pills for t <=mple. ‘Beecham’s is a household word, has been for many gencrations.

Such is Tonga, the last remaining native kingdom in the Pacific ocean, according to the description furnished by Tui Vakanoa, premier of the island, who was here recently. Premier Vakanoa said that the peo- ple of Tonga are very contented. They have their own monarch, ministry, flag and parliament of seven members, elected by the people and an equal Connecticut Opens Day and Night—Unp Prize Winning Cattle, Sheep, Swine; the Busy Bee; the Cackling Hen; Produce of the Farm and Factory.

The premier has an attractive per- sonality. His English is excellent, al- though he confesses to a slight timid- ity because all his education was ob- tained in a Tongan school. He has been premier since 1912. Trade Controversy Ends Today is Expectation Chiicago. Sept. ‘3.—Arbitration of the Chicago building trades controv- ersy is expected to end today with the handing down of the final de- cision by Judge K. M. Landis, arbiter. The decision which is expected to open the way for employment for $0,000 men and the beginning of $100,000,000 worth of construction work has been simplified by agree- ment between builders and the unions, to confine the dispute to wages and hours of work. aralleled Program Forty Acres of Entertainment and Educational Features.
