THE JAPANESE WOMAN.
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. Attorneys for the
IS railroad companies twice made defend
ants in suits filed In the United States
Circuit Court by District Attorney C. B.

In the diplomatic exchanges between
America and Germany, renewed Interest
Is being taken by the State Department
In the representations made to the Ger
man government In behalf of the Amer
ican lumber-exporting trade relative to
alleged discrimination by the government
controlled German railroads against
American lumber.
Ambassador Tower has been instructed
to Inform the German government that,
as the United States makes no discrimina
tion between countries In tho imposition
of customs duties. American imports into
Germany should be treated in tho same
manner. The Germans are stated to have
drawn what the lumber exporters regard

higher railroad rates on the former.

WONDERFUL CURE BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES
"My little son, a boy of five, broko
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical College,
but its treatment did no good. At tho
time I was induced to try Cuticura
he was so bad that I had to cut his
hair off and pat the Cuticura Ointment
on him on bandages, as it was impos
sible to touch him with the bare hand.
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

Xo More Bullion to Coin.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 15. 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.
Some time In October, It Is thought, the
accumulation of uncurrcnt silver will
warrant the resumption for a time of re
coinage of silver dollars Into subsidiary
coins, as has been proposed. The outlook
for continued active operations at the
Philadelphia mint Is not regarded as
good.
During the coming suspension of coin
age, the mint will be open to rocolvc de
posits of gold bullion, as usual.
