Thettitude of Japan i is disheartening to friends of peace. One is mystified at this Bttdden reversal of conduct on the part of Japan which has for years refrained from seizing Manchuria. The occasion .i..'.u v- Vnvon -fminri .flrTir. There has been little change inthe situation in China and Manchuria and Russia for several years. So we are inclined to think that the reversal of pohcy on the part of Japan comes from a shift in its internal pol itics. Evidently the peace party which had been in power for some years lost its influence, while the militarists gained th ascendancv. So lackinjr have been remonstrances from within Japan that one wonders if there has not been a cen- sorsnip on ine opposuion, just a n yiwu old propaganda factories of war were setting up in business for the diffusion of rumor and colored news. While Japan has defeated China, faced down the league, bluffed out the U. S. A., established practically a protector ate in Manchuria, the issues are-not wholly decided yet. An International commission is to investigate the whole series of events. Diplomacy will now supplant war, Aough the soldiers of Japan still hold the centers of Manchuria. This commission may find evidence to justify Japan, at least par tially. Or it may condemn Japan's course, in which case it Is not inconceivable that Japan would not withdraw her troops and abandon her conquests. Many a war has been won tn the field and lost in the peace conference, i At least this is true that China may not live forever on the patience of other nations, with their nationals in con stant danger of being robbed and murdered. Only recently Rev. John Walter Vinson, missionary in China since 1907 was kidnaped, stabbed, and decapitated by Chinese bandits. In a sense Japan is doing precisely what we have been doing in the Carribean for decades. So, while it is discouraging to those who felt that Japan, would live tip to her treaty en gagements more faithfully, until the proposed commission pnnrnlAfaa ffw fi-nAineroi anA Tintn eVinnra ffa final afriflirlo It b perhaps well for interested onlookers like ourselves to sus pend final verdict of condemnation on Japan.

Bat with tks dUcor- ry, of Insulin, the disease Is not feared as it nsed to he. The control ef ' diabetes Is mainly the-control of the diet When a strict diet fails to oyer- come the effects of the disease. Insulin is nsed. Not erery case of diabetes reanires the flTlnr of insulin. On tTbe of the disease has been positively pnallnf to the medical Profession. It is that found in children. This Is spoken of as "Infantile diabetes". undoubtedly there are more cases among children than ' is commonly hollered. xearg ago wnen a cnua was known to haTe dlabetea little hope was held for his recorery. With the discovery of Insulin this attitude has completely cnanged. Many cases of diabetes, par ticularly in children under fire years of age, make remarkable progress under simple diabetic management. Insulin, too, has saved the lives of many children. enaxnmg tnem to continue the activities of normal ehudrtnv There Is -no reasonr ! td look upbn i diabetic 'child 'as seriously handicapped. Once the child has been taught all he shuld know concerning his ailment, his fu ture health is assured. If inatruc tion is given in childhood and carefully followed, uncomfortable complications in later life will not occur. It is Interesting to note that most children who hare diabetes are mentally well developed. For some reason the condition is most likely to be found where there is only one child In the family. It has been ' noticed by some students of the subject that many diabetic children are exceeding ly tall. However, children who hare this disease and are not given -the proper attention tend to be stunted in growth as they grow older. The signs of diabetes In chil dren are the same as ihose found in the 'adult. Too many times tnfese signs are 'completely Ig nored and the disease Is over looked. It Is not discovered until there hag been an examination of the urine. Then an excessive amount of sugar is found. Rigid supervision of the eating habits of these children is Imper ative. The diet must be carefully prescribed by a physician. If tie sugar in blood and urine la not decreased by a proper diet It is probable Insulin wHl be pre scribed. The results of Insulin treat ment in such cases hs been quite satwiactory. The little natienta show normal development and of ten become conspicuously healthy adults. 1 HERE'S HOW- giBy:EpSpI &m - 'AM "MASQUERADE By FAITH BALDWIN T CoMHBSUie- V J V 'Ji mmmmm. m.

Brown of Osawatomle, that neces sitated briefly reviewing the high lights of the father, who made a figure that loomed large In the troubled days preceding the war of the states. . That series has attracted a great deal of attention, especially since the son and his family were well known residents of Salem during the period preceding 1818 or 1819, when they went tu Portland. S N Mrs. Myra L. Shank, police ma tron, was more especially interest ed, because, last year, in making a trip through Kansas, her train. when it reached Osawatomle, Kan., was halted whHe the passengers were told something of the strange career of old John Brown, and their attention was called to the fact that a John Brown monu ment is there, and a city park is named for John Brown. H W The closing chapter of "Time and Chance," the book of Elbert Hubbard describing the days and deeds of John Brown, Is worth reading: Is good Sunday reading. If you have read it, it. is worta rereading. Referring to the scene after the coming of the marines under Cot Robert B. Lee, it fol lows: S "But the old man still breathed. The mob, gathered about and sought to finish him, but a strong voice from someone In the crowd went up, 'leave him alone, boys, don't yon see he Is dying, any wayt' And the same unknown man placed an old coat under the gray head for a pillow, seeking to stop the gaoing wounds, and. standing by, he protected the helpless form from those who would have tram pled upon it S S " 'And what brought you beret bawled a bystander, when It was seen that he was not dead. " 'Duty, sir,' came the answer. ' 'And do you think It was your duty to invade this place with an armed force, and make war on your country? " They tell me I am dying, sir. I cannot argue with you; I tried to free the slaves, and I am sorry I did not succeed. I did my duty as I saw it' W "Life still lingered in that iron frame, and .in a blanket the old man was carried to prison.

Sadie Knott's real name, the name her father' gave her and the name she gives the man or woman who hires the help is, so far as this story Is con cerned, nobody's business. She lives in Salem. She has never been an actress nor anything else which might result in ths use of her name ,1a black, Ink on white paper. She has never committed a murder nor been associated with a scandal. Sadie Knott is just a person, a nobody like the vast majority of us. She is one ot that presumably heaven-protected class known as working girls. She Is not beauti fnl, at any rate to a stranger. Good looking, nothing more. Doubtless you have seen her. per haps have chatted with her while yon waited tor your change. Ton may have observed that she chews gum cleverly. One might almost not suspect the presence ot a cud ot gum in her mouth. Which is a form of art I am introducing Sadie Knott to 'you because it chances that I have come to know in a general and very brief way the story ot her life, and lt is rather an inter esting story. One day I overheard her mention a certain town tn the east and because I knew that town I ventured to bring myself to her notice. "If your father was Tom Knott" said L "he was a school mate of mine. Who, may I ask, was your mother?" "My father waa Tom Knott." she replied. "My mother's name was" But I had not known her moth er nor her mother's people, so lt does not matter. "My father Is dead," she went on. "I was an only child. Mother married again. After that I pack ed my three pounds of raiment and a toothbrush into my little handbag, took my share ot the in surance money, which wasn't much, and and flew the coop." "Tea. You wouldn't carefor tbe details. They are not amus ing. I am not blaming mother. Her new husband may have seem ed a nectarine to her, but he was a lemon to me.

I trust only that tho girl's luck wiu hold until tho boy comes again into the sunshine. "So am I " said Collin. His arm went about. his mother, be bent bis tall, dark head to kiss her cheek. But his hand still held Fanchon fast Fanchon had an inspiration. She said, not trying to fres her self: "Aunt Jennie. . . I told Collin just now I wouldn't speak of something to you. But I'd rather. I hare talked to him about lt I have explained my reasons for nol speaking, or at least . ." she look ed at him briefly, "he has explain ed them for me. I I'd like yon to know that all I have told bine he believes. That there isn't any thing I should tell you, not real ly. Nothing that matters. Nothing that would hurt you." "My dear," said Jennie Car stairs. - Together, hands fast, the three went back toward the house. That was the beginning of Fan ebon's happy summer. Collin, can celling whatever other plans h may have had, was at "Dunerose" all season save for those occa sions on-which he went to town os business. He taught Fanchon te ride and to golf. She was already able to swim and her prowess la the surf amaxed him. But the bit of ocean which sur rounded Southampton was child's play to Fanchon after her years on Hawaiian beaches, riding tho great breakers to shore. He im proved her tennis game and took her to dinners and dances. They were always together, to the en tertainment of the colony and to tho discomfort of a great many marriageable maidens whose eyes and hearts were set upon the eon quest of Collin. . Nor did Fanchon lack tor at tendance. She had more young man about her doorstep than she knew what to do with. She had evervthlnr in her favor. She was young, she was beautiful, she was Intelligent she was a good sport and she was backed by the Car stairs millions and the unassail able Carstalrs social position. "The first thing you know," said Collin to Fanchon one day on tho links, "first thing yon know youll be getting married and then where will we be?"
