BESISTANCE TO JAPAN THE PLAN Minister Wn Bald to Be Cliara-edl with . the Duty of Informing; State Department Ma charla Scene. BERLIN, Feb. . Sun Pao-Kl. the Chinese minister at Berlin, received lnstruc tlons some weeks ago from Pekln to dis cuss with the German office the Japanese treatment of trade In Mar.churla and to broach the possibility of the United States and Germany entering Into a special agree ment concerning the maintenance of equal trade opportunities in all the Chinese terri tories. Sun Pao-Kl communicated hla In structions to the foreign office and dis cussed the subject In the most general terms, the foreign office receiving his sug gestions In a courteous, Inquiring but non committal manner. It presumably has cor responded with the German embassy at Washington and the legation at Pekln as to the extent of the Chinese proposal and what was thought of It. In Washington It Is understood, Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, will receive Identical Instruc tions and will lay them before the state de partment. Crlna's idea of special agree ment between the United States and Ger many appears to rest In the belief that these two alone of the great commercial states would bo likely seriously to oppose Japan's disposition, as China avej-s, to die criminate in Manchuria in favor of her own merchants.

The cashier, however, declined to cash it, but accepted it for collection against the Wisconsin bank which, it waa alleged, la sued tho draft In tha meantime Holmes issued several checks against funds In the Wisconsin bank, which later proved that he did r.ot havo any money deposited there.

D., Feb. 25.-(Sclal.) n unusual mark of respect is to be paid to the memory of John Wahcahunka, --Auto-Vivisection-- Io Y'on Deliberately Torture Yourself Alive by Neglecting Yonr Stomach? Bemtdy Tree for the Asking. A great outcry has arisen during the last fsw years against scientists who torture dumb ayilmala alive In the Interests of science. How many people are there, how ever, who needlessly torture themselves by oeoalng thslr stomachs to overwork. Dys pepsia, Indigestion, heartburn, sleepless ness, loss of vim snd ensrgy are the Inev itable result Are you one of these T Why not give your stomach a rest? Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will relieve yeur stomach of all Its work and do It for you. They are compounded of ths very elements and do the work which the stom ach performs when In normal health, asep tic pepsin, malt diastase and like Ingred ients. . . Dr. Richardson In writing a thesis on treatment of dyspepsia and Indigestion,, closes his remarks by saying, "For those suffering from acid dyspepsia, shown by sour, watery risings, or for flatulent dys pepsia shown by gas on stomach, causing heart trouble and difficult breathing, as well as for all other forms of stomach trouble, the safest treatment ia to take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. I advise them because they contain no' harmful drugs, but are composed of Valuable digestives, which act promptly upon the food eaten. I never knew a case of indigestion or even chronic dyspepsia which Stuart's Tablets would not reach." Cheap cathartic medicines claiming to cure dyspepsia and Indigestion can have no effect whatever in actively digesting the food, and to call any cathartic medi cine a cure for Indigestion Is a misnomer. . Every druggist In the United States and Canada sells Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and they are not only the safest and most successful but the most scientific of sny (treatment for Indigestion and stomach troubles.
