Tokio. Dec. 22. A baby boy who will, if he survives his father, one day become the one hundred twenty fifth mikado and carry on the succes sion of the oldest dynasty in the world, was born today in the im- jporial palace here. He is the first son of Emperor Hirohiio and Empress Xagako, and therefore, the long-a waited crown prince of the empire. Previously four daughters were born to the couple. One of these is dead. Xationwide rejoicing greeted the hastily broadcast tidir.gi of the ar rival of the imperial princeling at C:39 a. m. today. The birth relieves Princs Chiehibu. eldest of the emperor's three brothers, of his responsibility as heir presump tive. Sirens Awaken Tokio. Court physicians announced that the emprsss and the princeling are doing well. The baby weighed 7 rs pounds. Two long blasts of sirens awakened Tokio at dawn, proclaiming v.-hat de vout Japanese considered was the best tidings the nation has heard in years. If the child had bern a girl a single blast would have cben blown. Almost simultaneously with the in fant's birth, the Japanese diet was called into session. On all buildings r-nd buses and street cars flags were flying. An Intense Expectancy. Arcund today's event was gather ed an expectancy probably more wide spread, devout and intense than has greeted the birth of any other infant in history. Rites prescribed by centuries old custom cf the imperial court came into play at once. First came the ceremony cf presenting to the new born infant a sword, a gift from his imperial father, a symbol of tbe life- force of the new arrival, believed potent to ward off all evil. Priests to Visit Shrines. The next important ceremonies will be held cn the seventh day, when the baby receives his name. Then the baby will be given his ceremonial bath. At the conclusion of these cere monies high priests of sanctuaries within the palace will go before these shrines to report the birth and nam ing of the princeling to his ancestors and dietlcs of the imperial family. Still later imperial messengers will go down to the grand shrines cf the sun goddess at Ise, 250 miles south west of Tckio, conceived to be the dwelling place of this greatest of the Japanese dietics, to report to her the ariival cf the rrinccling. ;0T BO WHIG TO BRITAIN Tralee, Irish Free State. Sneaking under a banner labeled "Unite and Conquer," President De Valera made it plain that the Irish Free State would not "bow" to Great Britain De Valera charged the opposition group, the.L'nited Ireland party, had aims of establishing a dictatorship. "At this moment." the president said, "cur nation is being pressed by one of the biggest nations in the world thru economic means to make us yield to their unjust demands. We are not going to ykld, but will maintain our selves against this pressure," De Val era asserted. "We must organize, and for that, peace is necessary. We want peace and order."

Why Hospitals Us; a Linuid Laxative Hospitals and doctors hive always used liquid laxatives. And the public is fast returning to laxatives in liquid form. Do you know the reasons' Tlie dose of a liquid laxative can be mcosuxed. The action can be con trolled. It forms no habit: you need not take a "double dose" a dny or two later. Nor will a mild liquid laxatiic irritate ike 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 cn using ill And the hanitual use oi irritating salts, or of powerful druprs in the highlv concentrated form of pilis and tabfets may prove injurious. A -week with a properly prepared liquid laxative like Dr. "Cakiweirs Syrup Pepsin will tell you a lot. A few weeks' lime, 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. It makes an ideal family laxative; effective for all ages, and may be given the younsest child. Member N. R. A. Gives Service to Aid Those Unemployed Judje A. H. Duxbury Kas Served Un tiringly and Without Recompense to Aid These Out of Work. One cf the residents cf Cz?z county that has served as a real Santa Clans to the residents of the community ha been Judge A. H.

For the past several months Judg Duxbury has hecn engaged in tins v.ork, it being a pleasure to him when the conditions afTord-d to give to the unemployed the opportunity to j secure a job, the only regret ;- :ug that the type of work has not been of a permanent nature hut ha- lit Ij-ed a long way to relieve months of the un employment for many. tiXT.i. iiuo uttii ...' iiiui. i:i'--i people would have passed up. as it; ri 1 ....... 1 1 .

All cf the.-e- long days and hours of labor have been without return save only the pleasure that might come when someone v.-as given the oppor tunity to enter into a work thai, might bring them and their families parti cipation in a payroll after perhaps months of idleness. There are few people that would have labored as has Judge Duxbury. but to him it has bc:n a pleasure, after seeing for months fathers mothers and children thronging the court hcuve for relief and the!; the various administration projects come that has enabled him to give out the working cards to hundreds during th? course of the fail, cards that have made possible '-,r them to enter into work that meant wagss in money. The community should be eong-at-! uated to have such a man that was willing to carry on in the work with out calary or remuneration of any kind save the desire to be of service to his ftllowman.
