IN CHINA.
There is no Tonger doubt that the world was correctly
informed a few days ago, when a dispatch from Peking
announced that Yuan Shi Kai had set aside his plan for
a monarchy—at least for the time being. After centuries
of Manchu rule, China, on Feb. 12, 1912, became a repub
lic. The change was the result of a widespread agitation
in favor of democracy, led during the more critical periods
by Dr. 81111 Yat Sen, who became first provisional presi
dent of the new republic. But China was not left to work
out its own salvation. If it had been it is possible that the
republic, as originally established, would have remained
secure. Dr. Sun's leadership was not of long duration.
More of a socialist than warrior or politician, and favored
by only a portion of the mass opposed to the Manchus, Dr.
Sun was compelled to step aside, while another of greater
force of character took the lead.
Yuan Shi Kai, who displaced Dr. Sun, is a militarist,
a wearer of the yellow jacket, and a diplomat to a degree
unapproached by Dr. Sun or the other more violent repub
licans. From the*beginning it was said that Yuan wanted
the throne. He became president in October, 1913. In
his inaugural address he promised to maintain a firm and
steady policy. This he has done. The council of state,
aware of the prestige and strength of the president, was
his humble servant. It was the council that was the in
strument for the promotion of monarchical plans. It as
sumed the responsibility of tendering to the president, on
the ground of expediency, the throne.
Now Yuan's renunciation of the throne is not wholly
of his own doing. Nor is the change a victory for Jap
anese diplomacy. Signs multiplay that China, after the
war, will again become the theater for a new trade and
political struggle. Japan lias taken advantage of the war
to extend its sphere of influence in Manchuria and in
China. Using Yuan's reported ambitions as an excuse, it
has taken more than a friendly interest in Chinese affairs.
It has been many times reported that Japan and Ger
many were in harmony in this respect. However that may
be, it is certain that a monarchy at the present time did
not suit the purpose of the grand alliance, and there is
eyery indication that England has been largely respon
sible for the change in China.
NEW SOURCES OF MOTOR FUEL.
One of the automobile firms recently announced that
it was preparing to produce 8000 cars a month, or a maxi
mum of 100,000 a year. Most of these ears the company
expects to dispose of in this country. The automobile
industry is expanding steadily, and each car that is put
into use emphasizes the need for a dependable fuel oil
market. A little flurry developed in the senate the other
day when Secretary Lane's report on the oil industry was
made public. Some of the senators were doubtless of the
opinion that the consumers were not being fairly treated.
The senators from Oklahoma urged a particular investi
gation in the fields of their own state. The federal trade
commission took up the subject, and is now gathering in
formation. A great mass of data is already in hand.
The federal trade commission 's report will be awaited
with much interest and with some anxiety on the part of
certain concerns, for it has been more tïian hinted that
the great oil corporations were manipulating the market,
thus'adding to the pressure which the natural increase in
demand has caused.
Probably the greatest hope for a permanent low level
of cost of motor fuel is that new methods of producing
fuel oil may be discovered. Dr. Rittman's process is said
to have enabled manufacturers to double their capacity.
Then*, it is pointed out, this country has neglected subsi
diary sources for gasoline. The United States geological
survey believes that shale deposits should be made to
yield a large quantity of oil, from which usable grades
may be extracted. In the past little attention has been
paid to shale, but the increase iit price of oils in general
has turned scientific inquiry into new directions. It is
notable that the oil shale industry of Scotland has for
years been one of great importance. There are vast pos
sibilities in the fields of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.
One of the moat important phases of the water power
testion is its close relation to our agricultural interests,
ater power development and establishment of plants for
fixation of atmospheric nitrogen, of which we have not!
0 ne in the United States, is essential not only to any plan
for military' preparedness, but for agricultural independ
ence, to relieve American farmers of the heavy tribute

THE FINDING OF THE ELLSON BABY CARRIAGE ONLY DEEPENS
THE MYSTERY.
Nell had not finished her dinner
dishes when she heard a machine drive
up in front of the house. She had been
In a state of nervous excitement since
she had heard of the mysterious dls
appearance of Olive's baby. She rush
ed to the door, hop
ing for some word
to relieve her sus
pente. It was the
doctor's auto, sure
enough, and -
Oh, Joy! there was
the baby buggy in
the back of the
machine. She ran
down the walk, ex
claiming:
"Where did you
find her?"
"Alas! we have
not found her," re
plied Olive sadly.

riage as she spoke.
"Yes, the carriage is ours." Her
voice shook so she could hardly speak.
"We'found the carriage by the side
of the road on the cross street Just be
fore you strike the paved automobile
road. It looks to me as if two people
were concerned In the kidnaping,"
said the doctor, coming to Olive's
rescue. "At least the machine was not
brought into town; the baby was
wheeled out of town in its own buggy,
and then a machine was evidently
used."
"Some carefully laid plan seems to
have been followed," remarked Nell
thoughtfully. "A person wheeling a
baby In'a buggy would attract no at
tentlon, whereas a strange automobile
would be observed and that might lead
to Its being traced."
This was too much for Olive's
strained nerves and she began to sob
hysterically.
"Doctcr, leave Olive here with me to
rest awhile and you continue your
search," suggested Nell.
"No 4 no," insisted the distracted
mother. "I cannot rest. If there is
anything I can be doing I can hold my
self together, but to stop and let my
self think will drive me crazy."
"I have just thought that I will see
the editor of the town paper. It is
printed today and a full account of all
the circumstances would put all the
readers at work to help solve the mys
tery. Someone may have seen the
strange machine and so be able to give
us the clue. You stay here with Nell

The doctor climbed into the car and
was off down the road before either of
the women could answer. Nell put
her arm around her triend's waist and
nelped her to the house. Poor Olive,
who was usually so calm and self-re
liant, was trembling like a leaf.
"Now, dear, said Nell as she placed
Olive on the lounge, 'T w:il make you i
a cup of tea. You must have something
to brace you up. This may be a long
strain and you can't atlow yourself to
go to pieces like this. What will your
poor husband do if ' e has a sick wife
to think of. Let him have all his facul- ;
ties to plan a campaign .to find the I
baby. He can't if you collapse." Nell
ran to make the tea, leaving Olive with
closed eyes from which the tears slowly
trickled.
while I run down to talk with the edlt
or."
"Now, drink this.
It Is hot and
strong and will brace you to get
through the afternoon." Nell sat down
and held the cup while Olive slowly
sipped the steaming ten.
"You may get some message tonight.
If someone has stolen the buby to raise
money the sooner the offer Is made the
better," continued Nell.
Olive shook her head. "It is nothing
like that," she said tremulously.
"How do you know?", asked Neli.
"I do not know, but I think it Is
nothing so simple as that. Nothing like
that would be tried unless the victim
were rich. It is too dangerous."
Olive sipped the tea in sitence.
"What Is your theory?" asked Nell.
"1 have none. I am too crushed with
my misfortune to think," answered
Olive. (To be continued.)

A QUICK, SURE WAY
TO END CATARRH
Catarrh Germe Breed by Million* in Air

On* Way to Drive Thom Out.
To stop catarrh for good you must
drive from your system the germs that
cause catarrh and that are now feeding
and growing fat upon the swollen In
flamed mucous membranes of your
nose and throat.
A splendid means of destroying ca
tarrh germs and overcoming catarrh
has long been recognized by physicians
i n the well known oil of Hyomel (pro
nounced High-o-me) and it is now a
very simple matter for any catarrh
suffer to use it with splendid re
„„its at home, by breathing its air
through a little hard rubber Inhaling
device which leading druggists are
supplying with each large complete
treatment. Just pour a few drops of
the oil of Hyomel into this inhaler,
place it between your lips and then
breathe naturally and the pleasant
smelling antiseptic, germ killing air
will penetrate deep down into every
fold and crevice of your raw, wore
nose, throat and lungs and give you
quick, certain relief, opening up the air
passages, making you breathe easily,
stopping the Inflammation and dis
charge and driving from your system
every catarrh germ that has found
lodgement there.
If you want to be free from every
symptom of catarrh, are tired of trying
one thing after another without bene
fit go to Charles L. Joy & Co., or any
other reliable drug store hereabouts
and get a complete Hyomel Inhaler out
fit, uae It every day for a few minutes
and if ' It does not drive the catarrh
germs out of your system and give you
real lasting relief from Catarrh, your
druggist will give you your money
back.—Adv.

Mrs. Hen's Good Reason
For cats old Mrs. Hen had been so
cross there was no living with her!
Many a time Tommy Tittle-mouae
had peeped out from his warm little
neBt behind the loose boards In the
«orner of the barn and had tried to
get up his courage to speak to her.
But always she looked so cross, or
else spoke so sharply to some one,
that he was really afraid to let her
know he was near.
"I can't think what has come over
that nice Mrs. Hen," said Tommy to
his mate. Just after he had heard Mrs.
Hen scolding one of the other hens—
apparently for nothing at all. "All
last summer and until recently this
winter, she was as nice and friendly
as could he! If she didn't eee or
hear from us two or three times a
day, she was sure to hunt us up to
see if anything had happened."
"Maybe she likes us Just as well
now," said Mrs. Tommy, who was al
ways so anxious to think that every
one was kind and friendly.
"Maybe she does," answered Tom
my (not in the least persuaded), "but
she certainly does not show It! She
hasn't seen us nor inquired about us
for five days. And does she care?
Not she! Listen!"
As Tommy Stopped speaking, Mrs.
Hen finished her scolding of that
other hen with a grand flourish of
cross words that echoed through the
whole barn.
"Now I aj* you," demanded Tom
ïny, "Does that soimd like Mrs. Hen
—the ntee Mrs. Hen who invited us
to live in here?"
"It does not," said Mrs. Tommy
positively. "Something Is the mat
ter." Then, after a minute's thought,
she added, "I mean to go out and ask
Now usually Mrs. Tommy sent
Tommy if there were any inquiries to
