"If I can teach the people here to adopt American business methods we can then have greater Intercommunication of capital and Interests between the two countries.

"Thank God!" he exclaimed, "that It has come out all right. But It has taught our government a lesson that they must never try their band again at Buch a game with out the partnership of the United States. I do not say a 'word against Germany, but I do think that It Is to England's advantage to come right out and not only say 'We support the Monroe doctrine," but 'By heav ens, we are willing to light for It.'

In a povrrty-strlckon abode and surrounded by her five young children, the police today found Mrs. Nancy McKane, slowly dying from hunger. The rtad bodies of her husband and a 16- nionths-old grandson lay In the same room. There was no Are and no food. One of the children ay on the couch with the suffering mother, flushed with fever. The husband had died from consumption yesterdr.y and the Infant grandson had suc cumbed to Insufficient nourishment. The cue was so appalling In its destitu tion that the two officers, who had acci dentally discovered it, provided coal and food from thdlr own pockets, and then took the opportunity to make a report for soeedy charity. A North St. Louis undertaker took charge of the bodies and will give them decent burial and the authorities hrve taken charge of the living.

EVERY SEAT IS CONTESTED Lealalatare la Colorado Is to Be In Badly Tanaled Condition. DENVER, Jan. 8. Formal notices of con test were filed today with the secretary of state against every democratic member of the house and senate of the Fourteenth Gen eral assembly whose seat bad not previ ously been contested. In each case the allegations are of fraud and intimidation at the polls, miscounts of ballots and allowing men to vote who were not voters. One charge is that false and misleading literature was circulated among the voters In the various legislative districts, so that voters who would have voted the republican ticket were misled into voting the demo cratic ticket. This move is made to checkmate the con tests filed by the democrats against all the republican senators. POWERS WILL NOT 'ACCEPT China Knit Pay on Gold Bars or Troubls Will Er.ius.

The weather bureau's summary of crop conditions Is as follows: In the principal winter wheat states the month averaged cold, with more than the usual amount of precipitation. The temper ature conditions were, however, unfavor able to winter wheat until ' the last ten days, when the states of the upper Missis sippi and Missouri valleys experienced tem peratures ranging from zero to 28 degrees below. During this period the Ohio valley states were generally well protected with snow covering, but In the central Mississippi and lower Missouri valleys the crop was exposed. Only slight damage, however, seems to have resulted, and at the end of the month the orop appears to be very promising. VMakri Jankshop of Pockets. The misdemeanor which landed K.

The signatories of the Chinese peace protocol, except the Amer ican, have consulted their respective gov ernments and practically have decided to Identically notify China that Its failure to fulfil the obligations provided for by the protocol will entail grave consequences. A strong sentiment exists In favor of a compromise If China will admit that the protocol demands the payment of the In demnity on a gold basis and confines its arguments to the hardships resulting from the increase of the debt by Dearly 20 per cent, since the signing of the protocol through the depreciation In the value of silver, and the probable further increase from the expected adoption of the gold standard in the Philippines snd In the straits settlements. But the powers refuse to waive the plain Interpretation of the protocol. The danger exists that If China maintains its position some of the powers may demand territorial concessions for compensation. Washington la Analoaa. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. The State de partment has received confirmatory advices from Pekln of the declination of the powers to receive their second indemnity instal ment on the silver basis. It Is not under stood that the declination was accompanied by a threat, but the action itself is regarded as sinister if, as has been suggested, it is not taken with a view of making a record of the position of the powers In this matter. The situation is regarded here as war ranting some concern, though unless' the Washington government Is to utterly, dis credit every statement of the powers of the last two years, whenever a possibility of a division over China came up, it cannot be believed that there is, any intention to proceed to extremes. It Is again suggested that the time is ripe for a reference of this important Issue to The Hague tribunal, a consummation wished for by China and cause which commended itself to the Wash ington government. The United States, which is Interested equally with the other powers in getting as much money as possi ble on the Indemnity, feels bound by moral law to co-support the Chinese contention for the sliver basis, looking not only on the language of the protocols and the Pekln treaty Itself, but also having a solicitous regard for China's Integrity and perpetuity as a nation. The other powers are united In demanding a settlement on the gold basis. This is an issue which In the mind of the 'officials here is eminently adapted to the methods of arbitration. So far China alone has suggested a reference to The Hague tribunal, but It Is possible and even probable that it the powers are going to extremes the United 8tates government will seem bound to discharge Its duty under article xxll of The Hague tribunal end point the way to arbitration, DEBATEINTERSTATE COMMERCE I'nlly Clnb Members Listen to Papers on Phases of the Qoes tlon.

To the Editor of Th Bee: If you would Invite suggestions from men who have served in the citv council within the laBt twenty years you would find that a large majority of these ex councilmen would be In favor of going back to the original method of representa tion; namely, two councilmen from each ward, to be nominated and elected in their respective wards, one every year. This, with our rresent number of wards, would give nine new councilmen each year. experience nas provea to me mat wnra councilmen can act with much more lnde- pendence on matters affecting the whol city than councllmen-at-lnrge, for counrll-men-at-large are subject to any power that can wield political Influence in any part of ine cny. a war a councilman, if he hon estly represents his constituents, will not be afraid of being bulldozed by outside influences. One great advantage in having ward councilmen conveniently located in their wards Is that the men who have to work all day, nad every day, can see their repre sentative In the evening at his home and maite tneir requests or lodge their com plaints without being compelled to lose a day to attend committee meetings of the council or meetings of the board of equal isation, or board of review, or any other board that may have power over their property or Interests. It ought to be the most sacred duty of a councilman to attend to such matters for those who have not the means to employ attorneys or agents to look after their interests, and this class Is undoubtedly entitled to as much considera tion as wealthy men and corporations, whose agents are always on the watch for tneir interests. I think It will be admitted bv those who have had experience In these matters that a councilman elected at large for three years at a salary of $75 or $100 a month Is not near as usetut to trie common people as a councilman elected for two years from lils own ward at a salary of $50 a month. for the people who know the candidates are trie best judges or tnetr merits.

Young as he is, he hns sold goods In every Bute of the Union, and you could not find In assy's Journey a man who has less reason to avoid mirrors than he has at present "When I was about eighteen," Mr. Coryell went on. "my face was covered with pimples that seemed to break out all at once. Some of my friends said that growing boys are often troubled that way, but that was mighty poor consolation for a fellow who liked to go out In society and took a proper pride in his appearance. My cheeks, chin and forehead were thickly dotted with those abominable pimples. The temptation to pick and scratch at the ugly things war almost overpowering, but I had strength of will to resist it. for 1 knew that scratching would only make bad worse. suffered little physically, because the hideous eruption was not painful, but my distrew of mind is a thing I drs.'.t like to dwell upon, even now. I imagined that everybody was looking at me and making disagreeable remarks about me aa soon as 1 was out of hearing. Borne times I felt like turning my mirror to the wall. . ."Remedies? Bless you, every friend I met had one. I washed my face with various soaps. I greased and powdered it in vain. Not merely did the pimples st Ick, but a new trouble came. My scalp became dry, hot and itchy. The least rubbing brought a gray shower of dandruff upon uiy shoulders. I wondered if 1 was to be baldheaded before I was of age, for 1 knew that dandruff leads to baldness as eurelv as the Ocean Parkway leads to Coney Island. "While I was in agony over my own condition a friend of mine, con siderably older than 1, became so afflicted that my trouble was positive luxury by comparison with his. He had scaly ectenia on his hands and scalp. There is no use trying to describe the appearance of this gentle man's head and hands, covered as they were with great, obstinate sores, over which doctors' mixtures and other medicines seemed to have no power. "One day my friend told me he was going to try Cuticura Soap and Cutleura Ointment. I laughed and told him he might find a better ue for his money, but he was not a man to be laughed out of a good resolution. 1 think he used one of the Cuticura remedies every day. l'erhaps be used both. My memory is not clear as to details, but the great, final result was too startling ever to be forgotten. Mind, it was not attained in a day, but the steady progress of the cure was a cheer ing thing to see. All the crusts and scales were removed from my friend's skin. His hands became fair, smooth and white. The sores on his head went away, and he continued shampooing himself with Cuticura Soap until his hair was thick and strong is ever. "You may well believe this object lesson was not lost on me. I went and did likewise. Cuticura Ointment made such short work of those uimnles that my looking glass was soon restored to favor and I had no further reason when 1 went into the street for wondering what folks said about me. From that time to this 1 have had no trouble with my skin. As you see, it is perfectly clear, as a healthy man's skin ought to be. "I conquered the dandruff with Cuticura Soap. The soft, rich lather, well rubbed in, made my scalp clean. I now use Cuticura Soap steadily tot keeping lay hair and skin in proper condition. CUAU K.

The second paper was read by Judge Irv lng Baxter, In which he dwelt on the abuses of the present laws In the subject. "Inter state Commerce." During the course of his remarks he stated that the suggestion of George Washington to have commercial in tercourse between the colonies led to the extension to foreign governments and later resulted In the conference which was held In Philadelphia, and from the code adopted there grew the present rules governing In terstate commerce. In conclusion, he stated that at the Philadelphia convention ot the American Economical society Mr. Prouty, s member of the ' United States Interstate Commerce commission, recommended the establish tnent ot a commerce court to deal with the cases which should rightfully come before It, snd Judges ot which should be appointed for life, leaving the United States supreme court a tribunal to which all appeals might be taken.

Wash., Jan. 3.-Phortly before midnight last night slides were reported from various points along the main line of the Northern Pacific, and since that time slides bsve been occurring at Intervals to noon today. The wires were down and railroad officials were unable to get In formation except from nearby points. As near as ran be learned, none of the slides were of a serious nature, and It Is thought the track will be cleared within twenty-four hours. The worst slides are reported from points east of Tacoma, but there Is trouble be tween Tacoma and Portland and the track Is blocked on all the branches. Trouble had occurred on the Great North ern earlier In the day and that road was sending Its passenger trains over the North ern Pacific. The Great Northern train and the Northern Pacific that left Seattle last evening are both tied up one mile from Palmer Junction. Slides are reported on the Pacific divi sion between Castle Rock and Kalama. Special trains with construction crews were dispatched In all directions from Ta coma this morning. Much Interruption to service has been sustained by the telegraph and telephone lines. All the rivers are raging and much damage to bridges is anticipated. SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. S The Great Northern Coast Line and the Northern Pa cific's line to Summas are the only lines of railroad running out of Seattle which are open tonight. For three hours today even these lines were blocked by slides. Floods have interrupted the train service on the west side of the mountain and slides In the mountains have added to the trouble. In addition there have been numerous small slides occurring on the West Side lines. At 7 o'clock tonight the climax In the railroad flood situation was reached when the White and the Stuck rivers In King and Pierce counties went out of their banks, flooding the Interurban and Northern Pa clflc tracks between Seattle and Tacoma several feet under water, flooding the val iey between Auburn and Kent and driving many residents through the White river valley from their homes. Train service between Seattle and Ta coma has been abandoned, and at midnight there was no telling when It would be re established. Advices from Auburn are to the effect that there are several bad washouts In the vicinity of Auburn and that the big bridge between Auburn and Tacoma was tottering and ready to go out at any time. The streets In Kent, Auburn, Darrlngton and other towns in that vicinity wero flooded, and, there was no telling how great the damage'to property will be, but it was said it will be very heavy.

When one needs s reviving stimulant after exhaustion nothing can rival ths effects ot hot milk sipped slowly. Some people say they cannot digest milk and these are the people who drink It down quickly, so that ths digestive acids. In play ing around it, form large curds which give trouble before they can be absorbed. The right wsy Is to sip the milk In small amounts, so that each mouthful, as It de scends Into the stomach, Is surrounded by the gastric fluid, and when the whole glassful Is down the effect Is that ot s spongy mass ot curds. In and out ot which the keen gastric juices course, speedily doing their work of turning the curd Into peptones that the tissues can take up. To make sure ot complete digestion take one or two ot Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets afterward, as the pepsin and dlatase they contain increase the quantity and efficiency of the gastric Juices and supply the natural digestive ferments which all weak stomachs lack. Miss Anna Folger, a professional nurse, speaking of the value of Stuart's Tablets In convalescence, says: "In adult patients re covering from severe illness, and especially In children where milk disagrees, one or two tablets overcome any difficulty and seem to strength the stomach In a remarkably short time. I myself have used them dally for years, when my own digestion has suf fered from the Irregularities and loss of slwp consequent upon my occupation. "Not only children and invalids, but pro teutons! people and others whose meals are necessarily hurried or Irregular will find Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets of the greatest value in keeping up the tone and digestive vigor of the stomach." They contain the actlva digestlvs ferments the lack of which Is really the only cause of Indigestion and stomsch troubles, and ths regular dally use of them after meals will probably curs any cass of stomach trouble except such as arises from cancer or ulcera tion. Many druggists have said that they sell mors Stusrt's Dyspepsia Tablets than all lther stomach remedies comblnsd. imuiuumudJ azaar L and B's, Sale was a Big Success- Now Watch B. and T, Open the Old Tinv er's Eyes, lf Dar Carti flff Bos' Kuits' v?rcoatH, lieef L3 ICI'CIII Ull ers, Sweaters, Hose, Under wear, lloves Caps, llath Kobes, Mackintoshes, Umbrellas, 1'elttf, Leiings, Night Shirts, Etc.
