SECRETARY KNOX
TO VISIT JAPAN
HONOR MISSION GIVEN CABINET
1 PREMIER CHIEFLY FOR DIP-
LOMATIC REASONS
TO ATTEND MIKADO’S FUNERAL
MANY MATTERS OF STATE TO BE
SETTLED AND FRIENDSHIP
OF NATIONS CEMENTED
Washington — For the first time in
the history of the United States the
secretary of state has been designat-
ed as a special ambassador to a for-
eign power
President Taft assigned Secretary
Knox as special ambassador to Japan
to attend the funeral of the late Em-
peror Mutsuhito on Septebmer 12
with the statement that the mission
was given to the premier of the cab-
inet as evidence of American friend-
friendship for Japan When Viscount
Chinda Japanese ambassador to
Washington heard of the mission he
asserted it would be taken by Japan
as an act of the greatest courtesy and
one calculated to make even warmer
and more cordial the existing rela-
tions between the two governments
At present the United States and
Japan are vitally interested in sever-
al diplomatic matters including the
great international loan soon to be
made to China realization of the fu-
ture railroad systems of Manchuria
and the development of Manchuria
and Mongolia by the aid of outside
capital the treatment of American
missionaries in Korea and the use of
the Panama canal by Japanese shirs
All of these matters are more or
less pending between the two nations
and the present foreign minister of
Japan Viscount Uchida who formerly
was ambassador at Washington a
personal friend of Secretary Knox
and the secretary are interested in all
of them
For some time Secretary Knox by
reason of slow progress of diplomatic
relations has desired to make a per-
sonal trip to Japan and reach a com-
plete understanding with the Japa-
nese government The assumption
of the office of foreign affairs by his
personal friend Baron Uchida prom-
ised to facilitate an easy exchange of
honest views regarding the policies of
the two countries Thus the secre-
tary having concluded his duties as
funeral ambassador may find an op-
portunity to discuss these questions
of policy with the Japanese foreign
minister
Secretary Knox will be accompa-
nied on his mission by Mrs Knox He
will have a major general of the army
and a rear admiral of the navy to be
selected Hanford C Miller chief of
the far eastern division of the state
department will accompany him as
secretary of the embassy
The party left Washington Thurs-
day and will board the armored cruis-
er Philadelphia at Seattle for the trip
across the Pacific Secretary Knox
expects to return early in October

TOED BY THE PRESIDENT

over 250 days Since the organization
of the government there have been
but seven continuous sessions of
greater length Measured by the stan-
dard of new laws enacted thisone
has not been fruitful of much general
legislation but from the standpoint
of great issues fought out and great
policies outlined It has been of more
than usual interest
Political activities have helped to
prolong it and political differences
between the house and senate the one
democratic and the other controlled
by an independent element of the re-
publican party have Berved to tie up
appropriation bills and impede the
progress of much general legislation
Many huge appropriation bills that
should have become effective July 1
still are at issue between the two
houses
Minor legislation and important
questions of general interest are to
be laid aside In an effort to bring ahou
adjournment by next Saturday or at
the latest by the end of the following
week

that have marked the ses-don many
of them outside the record of general
legislation are
The decision of th senate that Wil-
liam Lorimer had not bei n legally
elected senator from Illinois
The begining of impeachment pro-
ceedings against Judge Archbuld of
the commerce court

following tlie agitation In congress
over the Jewish passport question
Substantial defeat by amendment of
President Taft's arbitration treaties
with Great Britain and France
Notice by the senate to foreign rtv-
tions that t lie United States will per-
mit none to acquire naval or military
sites in the western hemisphere

ment for direct election of senators

test that this would be a violation of

assed by democratic progressive alli-
anre Creation of a children's bureau in

bor Increase of civil war pensions
through the Sherwood service penbior
law
The session lias been prolific of ve-
toes by President Tuft Sitae the lie
ginning last December he has written
his disapproval on the face of seven
bills passed by congress One of these
the “Corbett tunnel” bill was repassed
over his veto In the senate It is ex-
pected he will veto two or three other
measures including steel and iron tar-
iff and the appropriation bill fixing a
limitation of seven years on civil serv-
ice terms
The senate has ratified nine treaties
during the session including those
with France and Great Britain which
the president refused to accept in
amended form

HOW MANY OF US
Fall to Select Food Nature Demands
to Ward Off Ailments?
A Ky lady speaking about food
says: "I was accustomed to eating
all kinds of ordinary food until for
some reason Indigestion and nervoua
prostration set in
’’After 1 had run dowd seriously
my attention was called to the neces-
sity of some change in my diet and
I discontinued my ordinary breakfast
and began using Grape-Nuts with a
good quuntlty of rich cream
“In a few days my condition
changed In a remarkable way and I
began to have a strength that 1 had
never been possessed of before a
vigor of body and a poise of mind that
amazed me It was entirely nsw In
my experience
“My former attacks of Indigestion
had been accompanied by beat flashes
and many times my condition was dis-
tressing with blind spells of dizziness
rush of blood to ths head and neural-
gic pains In the chest
“Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast 1 have been free from these
troubles except at times when I have
Indulged In rich greasy foods In quan-
tity then I would be warned by a
pain under the left shoulder blade and
unless I heeded the warning the old
trouble would come bai k but w hen 1
finally got to know where these trou-
bles originated 1 returned to my Grape-
Nuts and cream and the pain and dis-
turbance left very quickly

result of my use of Grape-Nuts" Nam
