Japan seems to be doing its best to dispose of as many of the eastern ques- tlons as it can before the conference opens for business, but China is mot disposed to disregard its interests. LESTRAL AMERICA’S CENTENNIAL One bundréd years ago today the people in the kingdom of Guatemala, a Spanish colony under a governor gen- eral declared their independence. What was then Guatemala is now made up of Guatemala, Honduras, Salvador, Costa Rica and Nicaragua and it i8 quite nat- ural that the descendants of those who squirmed under the yoke of Spain and decided to be free, as well as those who are today enjoying' the benefits of freedom obtained should be desirous of observing the anniversary by other than the annual recognition. It is interesting to note in this con- nection that the declaration of inde- pendence, while the outcome of the un- rest that prevalled among the people because of the matter in which they had been so strictly governed and so se- verely oppressed that they became helpless in the hands of the rulers and were regarded solely as a source of rev- enue, was carefully arranged, proclaim- ed to the world and the overthrow of the government accomplished without that bloodshed which has invariably marked the history of other countries which have undertaken similar action and relief. . It is fitting In connection with the célebrations which have been arranged in the several republics and the recep- fon which is to be held in Washington y the diplomatic representatiyes of those countries that there ghould be as- sembled in Guatemala City a congress of students for the discussion of pres- 4 future problems in Central América. These republics are to be congratu- upon the efforts they have made se'f government over such a long That they were In- the action of country and that they have Te- °d help and moral support from it many times since, even to being held to responsibilities on occasions, is y recognized and for that reason country has an unusual interest on occasion.

That needs plenty of concerted action ong that line cannot be questioned. That such must represent the better ele- ment is apparent but it remains to be what this will accompl!ish. It has ken a long time to get into action but it is certaimly a movement that ought to go over the top.

ALL HER MONEY'S WORTH “Aunt Martha is appreciative,” said Loretta as she took off her hat and settled wearily into a chair. “I have often thought of how grateful she was all the time we were east for all the kindnesses that people showed us’ “If you had to go traveling with somebody,” said her brother lazily. “it's just as well that it was that particu- lar aunt who asked you to go. Such invitations generally come from just the relatives one wishes to see the least o “T've always been fond of Aunt Mar- tha, ven when she didn’t invite me to take a trip,” said Loretta. “But, to be honest, I must confess that Aunt Mar- tha 1is fussy. If there was a spot on the tablecloth as big as *he head of a pin she’'d change her seat, ‘:ld you know what a nuisance it is to have to pick up'all your wraps and move, even if it's only a few steps away." “Once,” said her brother, “I was so rash as to object to a spot on the cloth and cover it with a napkin I took from a vacant place. When I pail my check I had to pay for the extm table linazn, of you plesse.” “Aunt Martha wouldn't be seen in a place like that,” said Loretta scornful- ly. “Of course she tipped handsomely on the we took. She had to and she seemed to enjoy it. Like a princess, you know. If we stayed more than ov- ernight at a place the bellboys were always under!oot trying to do some- thing for us.’ “T'd like the experience,” sighed Lo- retta’s brother. “Bellhops usually look right over my head when I come along as if the ceiling were somcthing new in their young lives. I'm going to ask Aunt Martha to take me along next time.” “Of course they had her iabeled ‘easy’ explained Loretta. “Even when the porter brought up the trunk and groaned gmbout its being so terribly heavy Aunt Martha never suspected she was being worked. All she thought of was that he belived she was car- rying bottled goods around and she ex- plained there-was nothing but clothing in it and gave him a big tip. After that bellboys brought up the mail one letter at a time and intercepted. de- livery boys so that they could get the dimes and quarters themselves.” “Everywhere we went Aunt Martha was extremely particular about the water we had to drink. She preferred spring water to anything else, but sometimes she had to take mere fil- tered drinks. She was. terribly afraid of the plain, unfiltered, unboiled thing.” “You must have gone thirsty most of the time,” said her brother. “It's a dry world just now, you know.” “No, we got along first rate,” Loret- ta told him. “For the first thing Aunt Martha did was to confide her fears to the waiter and the bellboys and they saw to it that she got what she want- ed. Of course i was expensive, but Aunt Martha.cared not a whit. All she wanted was her money’s worth.” “She should worry,” laughed her brother, “if we had a tenth of her in- come we'd be on easy street.” “There was one place where the boy was particularly obliging,” Loretta went on. “We were there nearly three weeks and Aunt Martha had heard the city water was especially bad there. She always sent for ice water every night before we went to bed and insist- ed that it be spring water, and the some boy brought it and received her tip. He said there wasn't a bit of spring water in the house, but he could go next door and get it for her. He said he'd get it at the drug store and keep a supply on hand for her, as we had no place in our rooms for it. So every night Aunt Martha not only tipped him but paid for the water, and it cost something, I can tell you, “As you say,” laughed Loratta’s bro- ther, “aunty got her money's worth. It was worth the price of her peace of mind, I suppose. If she drank the city water she would have been sure she was in for typhoid fever, and you would have had a time of it.’ “That's what I thought when I kept still,” chuckled Loretta. “You see, when we decided to leave that hotel my friend, Jim Blakesley, came to say goodby and I went to the elevator with hinr to send messages to the girls. As we stood there waiting I saw our be- loved bellboy, Aunt Marti. subsidi ed favorite, filling a pitcacr at a fou- cet in the side hall, and as I reached our rooms I saw that that pitcherfull was paid for by my own Aunt Mar- tha. The worst of it was that the boy grinned at me as he turned away and I am afraid I grinned back. Still, I guess Aunt Martha got her money's worth,"—Exchange. — e e T R T RO ODD iNCIDENTS IN AMERICAY HISTORY T e e S THE MASSACRE OF CHERRY VALLEY. In the summer of 1778, when the Revolu .1 war was at its height, the i Nations of New York were ing all kinds of trouble for the ple of that state, having been to hostility by Sir John Johnson, the Mohawk chief, Joseph Brant, and Wal- ter Butler, of infamous nams. The Tory following of the conspirators were As early as June of that year the Indians and their Tory began their depredations of the most revolting kind, finally leadi the famous massacre of Cherry Valley. At this point a fort had been bui and the village was occupied by a band of Co- lonial troops. They rested in secur] and the settlers were scattered to th habitations, regardless of warnings of approaching foes. Under cover of a severe storm of snow and rain, November 11, Brant and Butler, with 800 Indians and Torlez. swooped down upon the homes, and forty-three persons, including women and children, were butchered, forty taken prisoners, all the buildings were burned, and the domestic animals were selzed. So brutal was the massacre that Brany charged Butler and the Tories With acting against his pro- test. Brant, himself, was content, 1779, with destroying the churc] houses and barns at Minnisink, Orange County, without sacrificing lives, but turned upon a party sent in pursuit, and, after capturing a detachment, butchered the wounded and slew forty- five who tried to escan: Such deeds produced a terror in the colony. No one knew where the red men and Tor- ies would strike mext. To check and counteract them, excursi were made against the tribes in their mes. But they were powerless to avenge the atro- clous murder of Cherry Valley. An evewitness to the scene of this great crime has thus described it: “When Butler reached within miles of Cherry Valley he halted his forces. He assembled the chiefs and proposed that as soon as the moon | rose, they should surround the hous: occupied by the officer: le he made a rush umon the fort with the range “They readily assented, but befc time appointed arrived it rained and the men obstinately re- obey until dayl t was that Capt.

One fell| dead and the other, though bleed! ran for his “The Indians followed fn ful pur- suit, and shortly outdistanced the com- manders and Tories. The Continental officers attempted to escape to the fort, | but only two or three reached it. The colonel, five other officers, and twenty soldiers, were killed on the way, and a numbers of others were taken prison- ers, The garrison of the Cherry Valley fort was fully alarmed and opened a fierce fire of artillery and small arms. The wretched misconduct of the Indlans caused’ Butler to coliect all the rangers in a compact body on an eminence near the principal entrance to the fort, to op- pose a sally by the garrison, which then undoubted'y —outnumbered them considerably. All day long they held off the garri- son, but the following day the Indians| and the feeblest men among the rangers were sent away With all the cattle, While McDonnell and Brant with sixty rangers and fifty Indians, swept the valley from end to end, ruthlessly burn- ing every building and stack in sight. Tt was the most atrocious massacre of the | Revolutionary perfod, and one which stamped the white leaders as incarnate fiends.

And at. its greatest width it would extend from near the northern end of Lake Michi- gan to a point south of Terre Houte, Ind.

Good digestion means good health; bad digestion means bad health. A sound stomach is worth a hundred times its weight in gold. Prob- ably eighty per cent of all diseases originate in the digestive organs. Dy- spepsia, or what is more commonly known as indigestion, is not only one of the most prevalent, but it is one of the most difficult to treat of all pre- sent day diseases, and has for years batfled the skill of leading specialists everywhere. Stomach trouble is almost always followed by a complication of dis- eases. One of the first being an over- worked liver, with all the symptoms of biliousness, followed in turn with headaches, coated tongue, i dizzy spells, pain in the back, palpi. tation of the heart and other distress- ing symptoms. Sooner or later the kidneys will become involved and that is just why these dangers signals should be heeded in time. A wise man puts out the fire before there is too much destruction; the same theory should apply to stomach trouble. Gas in the stomach means fermen- tation instead of digestion; decay, in- stead of nutrition for fermentation pro- duces poisons, WHch are absorbed by the blood, and which frequently bring on the condition known as auto-intoxi- cation or self-poisoning. This is also why we develop acidosis, which brings on so many complications such as rheumatism, hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure and other condi- tions, which may mean permanent loss of health. Acidosis is one of the main forerunners of Bright's disease and dia- betes, hence it is evident that if we have stomach trouble, however slight. we are foolish indeed if we do not take prompt steps to correct it. If we are not fit as a fiddle in the morning; if we don't feel better than when we went to bed;.if our breath is - | offensive; and we have that bad taste in the mouth; nature has set the dan- -| ger signals for us and we cannot af- ford to neglect the warning that she ican people have learned that it prob- ably provides the surest, safest, ani quickest remedy for all troubles, an millions upon millions have taken I with the most astonishing and gratify- ing results. Tens of thousands of men and womez of all ages and in all walks of life af- flicted with stomach, liver and kidney disorders, some of then of long stand- ing, as well as thousands of weak thin, nervouse men and women appar- ently on the verge of collapse have testified publicly that they have beer fully restored to their normal health strength and weight by its use. St others who seemed fairly well, vet whe suffered with indigestion, headaches shortness of breath, dizzy spells, sour, gassy stomachs, coated tongues, foul- ness of breathe, constipation, bad com- plexion, loss of appetite, sleeplessness at night and terribly dejected, depress- ed feelings state that they have beer entirely relieved of these distressing symptoms and restored to health anc happiness by Tanlac.

WASTE IN OIL PRODUCTION The actual production of oil whick involves such vast sums has proba- bly been the most loosely conducted business of any, unless agricuiture should lay claim to this uncoveted place in the world of industry. Throagk neglect, needless waste and unsvstem- ized methods, millions have been wasi- ed-annually in this pnase of the ojl industry. The oil game is a gamble from every angle, more or less, so far as the individual operator is concerned. The individual operator is the life of the oil jndustry. and acts as a kind of ballance wheel for the large corpor- ations. He is responsible for many of the discoveries in the unproved areas will take any kind of a chance where there is the slightest hope of success, and is instrumental in fixing value of properties in the proven areas. His greatest weakness is his inability to fix the price of oil he may produce says the Kansas City Star. Being a gambling proposition it is quite naturally loosely conducted, the result being an enormous annual wast.
