Are Your Sewers Clogged?
The bowels are the sewerage sys
tem of the body. You can well imag
ine the result when they are stopped
up as is the case in constipation. As
a purgative you will find Chamber
lain's Tablets excellent. They are mild
and gentle in their action. They also
improve the digestion.

Race (Question Keal X
Cause of Misunder
standing Between
X Japan and America
By VUcount KENTARO KANEKO,
Japanese Statesman
IT is true that the good feeling be
tween the United States and
Japan is losing strength and
force. The race question is really
at the bottom of it all. The Japanese-American
problem is momen
tous. On the sur
face it is mere
ly an economic
pxobloiu, a labor
problem, an im
migration prob
lem, but at the
bottom it is a'
raco problem. It
all comes down to
a question of two
races that are so
far apart in every
way manners,
thinkinar. livine
that there is no common pivot,
Japan and America have many
things in common. .kngiiBn litera
ture has been the source of great
inspiration, and our art lias made
Its influence felt in. the western
world and may be destined to wield
a still greater influence.

Enterprise, Ore.. Jan. 22. The En-
torpriso Record Chiftaii. says:
Two Enteri.-i!!a lodges, t.he I. O. O.
F. and the Knights of Pythias, are
making plans to build homes for their, '
own use during the coming season.
The Odd Fellows have contemplated
such a move for a couple of years but
did not make a start until recently
when they bought of Mrs. Emily Wil
son 42 feet of ground fronting on .
Main street, at the southwest corner
of West Third, or Depot street, pay
ing $550. This lot lies immediately
west of the corner owned by Daniel
Boyd and formerly occupied by him'
as a home.
The plans as now in mind are to
construct a building something after ,
the model of the Carnegie library,
with a half basement for dining rooms
and social purposes, and an upper
floor for lodge hall, waiting rooms,
etc., The building -would be exclusive
ly for the use of the Odd Fellows,
and no part would, be rented out to
any other organization.
As the lodge visnes to ereci me
building as early as possible, it is
probable it will be of frame construc
tion. .1

Prefers Chamberlain's. 1
"In the course of a conversation
with Chamberlain Medicine Co.'s rep
resentative today, we had occasion to
discuss in a general way the merits of
their different preparations. At hi
suggestion I take pleasure in express
ing my estimation of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. I have a family of
six children and have used tnis rem
edy in my home for years. I consider
it the only cough remedy on the mar
ket, as I have tried nearly all Unas."
