Tn this topsy-turvy world every-
thing and everybody is right in turn;
so that if we only live long enough
we must end by having no settled con-
victions at all.
Truth About the Chinese.
If every American could visit China
the question of Chinese immigration
would soon be settled upon a perma-
nent basis, for no one can become ac-
quainted with the Chinese coolie with-
out recognizing the impossibility of
opening the doors of our country to
him without injustice to our own la-
boring men, demoralization to our so-
cial ideas, injury to China's reputation
among us, and danger to our diplo-
matic relations with that country,
says William J. Bryan, in Success
Magazine.
I made it a point to inquire among
the Chinese whom I met, in order to
ascertain the real sentiment back of
the boycott. I had heard of students
being subjected to harsh regulations
at ports of entry, of travelers humili-
ated by confinement in uncomfortable
sheds, and of merchants treated rude-
ly, and I supposed that these things
had aroused the resentment. I found,
however, that the things complained
of were more difficult to deal with
and the concessions demanded impos-
sible to grant. In order to understand
the boycott one must know something
of Chinese history. As China has
never had representative government
the people have been compelled to
bring their complaints before officials
by petition; and, where the petition
has been ignored, they have been ac-
customed to bring such pressure to
bear as was within their power, and
the boycott has often been resorted to
as a means of compelling action upon
the part of officials. They, therefore,
conceived the idea of a boycott against
American goods for the double pur-
pose of urging their own government
to favorable action and of calling the
attention of the American government
to their complaint. Our officials are
doing what they can to convince the
Chinese government of the injustice
and folly of the boycott, and the Chi-
nese officials with whom I conversed
seemed anxious to cooperate with our
minister and consuls. Immediate ac-
tion upon the part of our congress,
whether favorable or unfavorable to
the Chinese, will remove the excuse
for a boycott; and our government
should not be influenced in its action
by any threats affecting trade, for the
subject is too grave to be determined
by commercial considerations.

Gather at Banquet.
Many Women Suffer Daily Miseries and
Don't Know the Reason.
WAR MADE CHANGE IN STYLE.
Japanese Women No Longer Elabo-
rately Dress Hair.
"Of all her earthly possessions a
Japanese woman most values her
hair," writes Mrs. Hugh Fraser. yit
is her crown, her veil, the mark of her
womanhood, that which tells her and
others what she is. The country
title for the house mistress is 'O Kami
San,' 'she of the honorable hair,' and
next to the binding of the obi, which
is the mark of modesty, nothing is of
such importance as the care of the
hair, few sacrifices so great as the re-
linquishment of the proper dressing
thereof.
"As for dressing her hair herself,
no Japanese woman can do that, and
all, except the most miserably poor,
have been in the habit of paying 30
sen (15 cents) a month to the hair-
dresser to take care of it for them.
Since the beginning of the Russian
war this sum has been almost uni-
versally laid aside to hand over to the
war fund, and, coming regularly from
millions of women, has amounted to a
very respectable whole.
"The result has been a curious
change in the appearance of these
sturdy little patriots. When I was in
Japan before I hardly ever saw a
woman with her hair down; now there
are hundreds in the streets, their
silky locks being merely turned back
from the forehead with a comb, and
hanging down in a beautiful mantle
far below their waists."
A WOMAN DOCTOR
One of the largest retail tobacco deal-
ers in the United States says that the
consumption of chewing tobacco has in-
creased almost 50 per cent, in five years.
He attributes this increase to the auto-
mobile, because it is impossible to enjoy
a cigar or pipe while whizzing along in
a motor car. There is also danger of
sparks or ashes from the iighted cigar or
pipe getting into the eyes.
Dr. Daniel Bella, a New York minis-
ter, has compromised hisdaim against
the New York Central railroad for the
fracture of 20 bones in a viaduct col-
lision last fall. Figuring on the basis of
$1,000 a bone, the company has agreed
to pay him $20,000 for his injuries. This
is considered to be quite a step in ad-
vance in regard to the basis for personal
injury claims.

Was Quick to See that Coffee Poison
Was Doing the Mischief.
A lady tells of a bad case of coffee
poisoning and tells it in a way so sim-
ple and straightforward that literary
skill could not improve it.
"I had neuralgic headaches for 12
years," she says, "and have suffered
untold agony. When I first began to
have them I weighed 140 pounds, but
they brought me down to 110. I went
to many doctors and they gave me
only temporary relief. So I suffered
on, till one day in 1904, a woman doc-
tor told me to drink Postum Food Cof-
fee. She said I looked like I was cof-
fee poisoned.
"So I began to drink Postum and I
gained 15 pounds in the first * few
weeks and I am still gaining, but not
so fast as at first. My headaches be-
gan to leave me after I had used Post-
um about two weeks— long enough I
expect to get the coffee poison out of
my system.
"Now that a few months have pass-
ed since I began to use Postum Food
Coffee, I can gladly say that I never
know what a neuralgic headache is
like any more, and it wais nothing but
Postum that cured me. Before I used
Postum I never went out alone; I
would get bewildered and would not
know which way to turn. Now I go
alone and my head is as clear as a
bell. My brain and nerves are strong-
er than they have been for years."

Most unique of the dinners given
this season was that which the raft-
ers" gave the other night at the Wil-
lard for Mr. Taft, secretary of war.
The company which journeyed so hap-
pily together to the orient has de-
cided to celebrate every year, and this
event was the first.
After being received by the com-
mittee, including Senator Warren, Sen-
ator Murphy J. Foster, Representative
Shirley and Representative William
B. McKinley, the guests passed into
the adjoining ballroom. In single file
they emerged upon the miniature deck
of the steamer Manchuria, behind
which were billows, canvas waves and
a tiny wharf piled with luggage. Pass-
ing from the gang-plank they crossed
a tiny Japanese bridge, and, descend-
ing, traversed a tea garden of the
Flowery kingdom, the perfume of wis-
teria, acacia and other dainty blooms
delighting them as they went on to
view the Jungle.
Picturesque gates of China flanked
the other end of the room. In the cen-
ter of the room was a long table and
stretching down the length of it the
mossy archipelago of the Philippines.
Native huts and bridges flecked its
surface and sailing in the mirror wa-
ters surrounding it were curious crafts
of the orient.
A canopy over the table carried the
idea of a Philippine bungalow, its
bamboo posts hung with curios from
the land. Quantities of roses and oth-
er blossoms formed the outer fringe of
decorations. All the intervening spaces
in the room were banked with tall
palms and other greens suggestive of
the tropics, and the chandeliers were
draped with southern smilax and fes-
tooned with Japanese lanterns.
The "Tafters" loaned miniature huts,
boats and other souvenirs to give sug-
gestive touches. The place cards were
mounted kodak views taken on the
trip, most of them being photos of the
party, each guest receiving a picture
of the person on the voyage who most
interested him or her. For instance,
Mrs. Taft, who was not one of the
party, found at her place a photograph
of her husband, the secretary. Repre-
sentative Longworth found his place
by the smiling likeness of his bride,
and Representative Shirley was no less
fortunate by finding a picture of Miss
Mignon Croitton, his fiancee, whose
fate was also settled on that trip, waif-
ing at his seat at the table.
Of all the originality displayed in the
planning and carrying out of the feast,
no more was displayed than in the
compiling of the menu. This was in
book form, printed and bound in Fili-
pino cloth, decorated with a spray of
palm and entitled "The Second Voyage
of the Taft Philippine Party."
Between the covers were all sorts of
funny caricatures and others depicting
the voyage, a view of the president's
daughter, ready for the voyage, lead-
ing the series, likenesses of Queen Lil-
iuokalani, the sultan of Sulu, and
many funny hits, the final being a list
of toasts. Mr. Shirley was tostmaster,
with following speakers: Mr. Taft,
"Pleasant Memories;" Miss Mabel
Boardman, "The Ladies;" Represen-
tative Foster, "The Trip and the Trip- j
pers;" Representative Grosvenor,
"Somewhere East of Suez;" Represen-
tative De Armond, "Guided by the Ma-
gician Into Wonderland, Wonderful j
Things Happen;" Representative Ches-1
ter I. Long, "Praise the Sea, but Keep
on Land."

Mrs. Laura Sullivan,

Marquette, Mich., who
says: "I had back-
ache and bearing-
down pain, and at
times my limbs would
swell to twice natural
size. I could hardly
get up or down stairs,
and often could not get my shoes on.
Beginning to use Doan's Kidney Pills I
got relief before I had used half a box,
but continued taking them until eured.
The bloating subsided and I was well
again."

My nonest conviction, based upon
my own experience and that of my

a larger per cent, of skin troubles,
especially of an itching variety, than
any other remedy. Certainly those
afflicted with any form of itch should
try it.
