Can Give Her American Sister Point ers on. Occupation. Chicago Journal. Count Xomura. one of the Mikado's greatest statesmen and a member of the peace commission soon to meet in Wash ington, recently observed that Japan was better able to endure war than the other nations of the earth, because labor was so largely in the hands of the Japanese women that the disturbance of industry was very Blight. The remark is exceedingly modern and significant. The innumerable fields for women's work which have been opened among Western nations, particularly In the United States, within a generation, have led us' to suppose that we were peculiar in that regard. It now appears that women are better able to carry on a man's work in Japan man in America. The cause is probably to be sought in the small farms of the empire. Economy and thrift have reached such a point In Japan thai a Jiving can be wrested from .a smaller'plot under extensive cultivation than in the West, and the smaller the area to be tilled by a given famly the better able are its women to accom plish it. It Is curious to speculate upon the future of the world, when its essential activities shall have been handed over to womankind, as in the Mikado's do mains, and the man left free as largely the case among the American Indians to carry on the profession of war. Woman's entry into the fields of manu facture, agriculture and commerce in the United States has resulted In throwing out of work great numbers of men. who as tramps, slum dwellers and persons casually employed, are a menace to the community. What will happen when the present tendency has reached its logical conclusion, and no man occupies a posi tion which a woman may not hold at smaller pay. It Is not a pleasant state of affairs to contemplate, and America may be con gratulated at not having reached the point attained by Japan, where man seems about io be classed among the things that "never will be missed."

GUIS FREEZE-OUT Charge Against Private Re frigerator Car Lines. COMMISSION IS INQUIRING Numerous Complaints by Small Shippers Against Private Cnr Lines and Railroads Cause Investigation to Open. WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. The Inter state Commerce Commission, on Its own Initiative and as a result of complaints against private-car lines, today unex pectedly began an Investigation of the relations of railroads and refrigerator linos, both of which, it is charged, are violating the act regulating Interstate commerce In several specified particulars. The complaint is directed against the Ar mour Car Line, the American Refrigerator Transportation Company, the Santa Fc Refrigerator Despatch, and 11 railroads, including the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific The railroads and refrigerator lines are made respondents in proceedings which require that specific answer to allega tions be made to the Interstate Com merce Commission by September 6. It is char god that by way of rebate or other devices, the refrigerator lines are acting for the railroads as authorized agonts. and the railroads, acting through the re frigerator lines, are collecting and receiv ing for the refrigeration of fruit and vegetables lower rates for some ship pers than they are contemporaneously receiving for similar service rendered to other shippers. This is held to be in vio lation of sections two and three of the act to regulate Interstate commerce. Another charge is that failure and neglect to publish at shipping stations and file with the Interstate Commerce Commission the rates and charges im posed for the refrigeration of fruits, and vegetables, constitutes a violation of sec tion six of the interstate commerce act. The Commission alleges further that the charges published Jointly by the re frigerator linos and the railroads for the refrigeration of fruits in certain specified territories are unreasonable and unjust and in violation of section one. Combina tions of railroads and private-car lines have prevented any wholesale regulation of these rates. Charges of discrimina tion against. small shippers have poured in on the Commission for a number of yoars. Railroads Given More Time. CHICAGO. Aug. 16.

There was not one square inch of skin on his whole body that was not affected. He was one mass of sores. The band ages used to stick to his skin and in removing them it used to take the skin off with them, and the screams from the poor child were heart-breaking. I began to think that he would never get well, but after the second application of Cuticura Ointment I began to see signs of improvement, and with tho third and fourth applications tho sores commenced to dry up. His skin peeled off twenty times, but it finally yielded to the treatment. Now I can say that he is entirely cured, and a stronger and healthier boj you never saw than he ia to-day.

The suspen sion of gold and silver coinage at the Philadelphia mint, beginning tomorrow. Is explained at the Treasury Department by the statement that the stock of silver bullion is entirely exhausted and there Is no call at present for gold or minor coins.
