ARD HAS UNDERTAREN SOMV XE. PENSIVE SCHEMES." ---- Japan's Trade Interests Grow----The War Has Made a Thousand New Millionaires, Reports a Traveler. London, April 4.--That Japan is colonizing and apparently intends to retain the South Sea Islands, .cap- tured during the present war from the Germans, was the statemént made here by Dr. Frederick Starr, profes- 80r of anthropology, Universi ,of Chicago, who was en route to 0 yesterday from the Orient after six months' research work in Japan gnd Korea. "Japan," said Dr. Starr, 'has no intention of withdrawing from the Ladrone or Marshall Islands; which she has taken from Germany, and which lie about midway between the Philippines and Hawail. She has already undertaken expensive schemes with reference to the postal service, telegraphs and cables of these possessions. She is sending settlers in quantity to them. "Since the war began in" Europe," continued Dr. Starr, "more than 1,- 000 new mililonaires have been made in pan. Extravagant ideas have taken possesion of the Japanese na- tion and a wave of speculation is sweeping over the country." Dr. Starr also said that Japan's trade with India had increased enor- mously since the war, and that in this development lay the possibility of fu- ture commercial competition with Great Britain, During his stay in Japan Dr. Starr travelled from Tokio to Kyoto, 300 miles, along the Tokaido highway.

The 'urgent need of all who suffer from indigestion is to gain strength fo that the stomach can extract nour- ishment from the food taken. Pain after eating is the way tha stomach signifies: its protest that'it is too weak to do matures work. To take purga- tives is only to aggravate the tronhle Dr. Willilams® Pink Pills give new strength to weak stomachs because they enrich and purify the blood sup- ply thins enabling the stomach to di- gest food naturally. Almost from the fivet "the appetite revives; then food can be taken without pain and the burden ° of" indigestion disappears. The fellowing case proves the truth of these statements. Mr. W. H. Sil- iver, a well known farmer living in | the vicinity of Hemford, N.S., says: "For upwards of seven years I was tortured with indigestion; sometimes I was so had that I would not taste a bit of hearty food, but would have to content myself with a bit of stale bread, At times I suffered excruciat- ing pains in Wy stomach, and could hardly sleep at night, 1 tried various preseriptions but got no benefit from them and naturally I was in a very reduced state of health. I had come to belfeve that I was doomed for the balance of my life to this most con- stant torture, when I read of a case similar to my own cured through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, This gave me new courage and I decided to try them. To make a long story short, the use of the Pills for a coun- ple of months completély cupad me. This is some two years agoMand: I have had Ho return of the trouble, and am able to eat as hearty a meal as anyone. You can get Dr, Williams' Pink Pills' through your medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.60 from The Pr. Wil- liams" Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

MULE BETTER THAN CAMEL: For War Purposes It Has Been Proven. FOUND T0 BE SUPERIOR e S\ THE BRITISH CAMPAIGN MESOPOTAMIA. IN The Mule's Hardiness is Proverbial-- Ship of Desert, Afflicted With Nat. ural Delicacy, is Not Hardy. British Headquarters in Mesopota- mia, April 4.--The mule has proved a far more reliable and useful trans- port animal than the camel in the Mesopotamia' campaign. H beasts were decorated, the mule would be covered With. pibbons. He knows not defeat. His hardiness is proverbial, None of the plagues of Mesopotamia have affected his sang-froid. The camel so far has been but an auxiliary. The breed used here, caHed "Judl," fs not, like his "Beda- wi' brother, trained to go without water, but he is,proof against the ubiquitous camel fly, and has certain other virtues of his own. In spite of his wobbly extremities and gro- tesquely proportioned limbs, the ca- mel is a dainty beast. His haughty gait and supercilious glances are gen- erally attributed to pose; as a matter of fact, they are the expression of an inward and unsuspected delicacy. Too often the camel's uncouth bulk gives a false impression of hardiness. He is not hardy He is brittle, and will bybak his leg kicking against a stone, ind he will split up and die if his legs split apart in the mud. In this country snow kills him. He is as sensitive to damp as a city clerk, and will catch a cold if asked to sleep in a swamp. But, well cared for, sufficiently equip- ped, and tactfully treated, he is sec- ond only to the mule as a beast of 'burden, Romamce of Modern Explosives.
