THE H A ft LOTTE NEWS, MARCH 17, 1909 10 40.000 HE ASKS FOR A R R YMG A Midi National Secretary for The Japanese on a Mission to America--Japanese Pleased With His Work for Their Soldieis. Government 0 ff e r s City Sites, Subsidies and Sup. port For Associations Great Grain, Coal and Tim ber Country Filling up. C. V. Hibbard. the secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who led the 'associations in their service to the wounded and needy Japanese soldiers in the Russio Japanese war, has arrived in America on a special mission to raise $40,000. Mr. Hibbard has been assured by the Japanese officials who had a hand in driving the Russians out of the coun try, and are now developing its re sources, that they will give the as sociation a site for the erection of an association building in the heart of Dalny. that they will subsidize it, give the secretaries passes on the railroads, and if the association makes good, as it has on the American railroads, they will place the clubs in every important division point of the road. Mr. Hib bard has also been assured by a build er in Dalny that he will superintend the erection of the building without cost, and that a brick manufacturer will give all the brick necessary. These offers are conditional on beginning op erations within six months. An advis ory committee of leading officials of the Japanese government railroad in Korea, which operates nearly 750 miles, co-operates with the association ;md Mr. Otsuka, the Japenese secre tary, and has appropriated $"0 a month to start the work on their lines. The territory tapped for these railroads is as large and fertile in wheat as the Mississippi Valley; the coal mines can produce one million tons a year, the coal veins at the surface being one hundred feet thick. There are timber forests as vast as the primeval forests of Michigan, and the iron mines as great as those in the Cumberland Mountains. Dalny, it is believed, will during the next: century become as great a commercial city as New York. Both in Korea and Manchuria the Japanese settlers ere of the most pro gressive type. Away from home and the ties of the old environment, they look with favor on changes that come but slowly in Japan proper. This breaking down of old custom is at tended with the danger of much loss. Unless (he restraints of the Christian morality take the place of th? old and decadent religious influence, the moral fiber of the people is likely to deter iorate. The new conditions then may constitute a peril to Japanese civiliza tion dv an opportunity for Christian people to strengthen the influence of Christian public sentiment throughout the empire. A Soldier's Furlough Home in the Him alaya Mountains. They say that every soldier in India knows ex-Sergeani "Jimmie" Taylor, at least many of them have proposed that every one devote one rupee of his pay to the purchase of a soldiers' home run by him in the Himalaya Mountains, and they will do it with a will. Some time ago this dashing, talented fighter of South African fame, when he re ceived his discharge, got possession of some rambling, deserted college build ings up in the mountains, where he opened a resort for soldiers on their one to ihree months' furlough. This "Soldiers' Home" has been filled through the stifling hot months with one hundred to two hundred men. who turned to the mountains to seek the bracing climate at this altitude of eight thousand feet. Taylor, like the fa- NASAL CflTARtt R. H. Jordan & Co. Sell the Great Rem edy that Cured Mrs. Karberg. Here is a very simple yet wholly sincere statement of a Michigan wo man, who was cured by using Hyornei the no cure no pay remedy for ca tarrh, asthma, hay fever, croup, coughs and colds. "A bad case of catarrh was cured for me by the use of Hyornei. The trouble affected my head, nose and eyes, and was very annoying and dis agreeable, and the cure from the use of Hyornei, was very gratifying. Hyo rnei has from me a strong recommend and endorsement." Mrs. E. Karberg, 213 Kingsley St., Ann Arbor, Mich., Nov. 1G. 1908. Thousands of just such letters are in existence, and thousands more would be but for the desire to avoid publicity. If you have catarrh, bestir vnnrspif. and drive it out of your svstom. Kill the germs, You can do that easily if you use Hyornei (pronounced High-o-me). It is a dry, antiseptic and very pleas ant air, that when inhaled, quickly re lieves all forms of cataarhal infiam , mation, stops snuffles, hawking and blowing. The price for a complete outfit, including inhaler, is only $1.00 at R. H. Jordan & Co s. mous Muldoon who runs a sanitarium , in the Westchester hills of New York ( state, is a "king among men. He is practical, sensible and sympathetic. He rules the home, but gets hold of every man's heart. Then, too, he is a telling evangelistic speaker, and it is a rare thing for a soldier to go to the home without coming away from this mountain sanitarium a Christian, braced up in morals as v eil as health. The good work he has done has be come so universally recognized that practically every general in India from Lord Kitchener down, has endorsed the project to buy this home, by the one rupee assessment from the sol diers. It is to be conducted as a de partment of the Y. M. C. A. of India. West Virginia's "Grand Old Man" is Backing the Y. M. C. A. Senator Henry G. Davis is one of the recent most liberal givers to the Y. M. C. A. Five years ago he began his gifts by contributing $25 to the West Virginia State Association work. The next year his contribution was $50, the third '$150, and the fourth $250. The same year he gave a $10,000 site to the Elkins, W. V-i., Association, the next year a $:1S,000 lot to the Charleston, W. Va.. branch, afterwards purchasing a park around the building. Here be plans to place a Japanese pagoda and fountain. Last- year Senator Davis contributed $25,000 additional to en dow the State Committee of the West Virginia Young Men's Christian Associations. Senator Depew on the Mi r?':lj of Rai rosd Em.nlc;-ces in Early Days. Senator Depew has recently said. "The number of engineers, firemen, conductors and trainmen who were dropped in the early days, ruined by evil influences which appealed to and seduced them after their day's woik, would be startling if known. It was greater than would have occurred among the same number in the battles and hardships of war. The demorali zation of the whole service was the frequent cause of deplorable accidents. At every railway terminal the saloon and poolroom were preaching a per sonal liberty which meant that no ef fort should be made to keep the em ployees of the companies away from these places. The young man taking a position on the road was almost for cibly carried into one of these places and his introduction hailed with cor diality and drinks to his health. Since the Y. M. C. A. branches, with their buildings and equipment, their com fort, health, recreation and education have been established, there have been lifted up and passed through the port? is to a higher and better life hundreds of thousands of employees cf the railroads of this country."' The Y. M. C. A.'s Progress. The State Y. M. C. A. committee of Illinois has found it impossible to meet ihe demands made upon it to establish new associations. In the southern part of the state, where the saloons had been closed, business men made es pecially earnest demands for associa tions. In one town a business man of fered $1,000 to start a building fund. At another place where no canvass was made a lot worth $600 was of fered, besides two pledges of $500 and several of $100. In another town a centrally located hall was tendered for an association, the rent to be nominal, and i't still another town a business man offered a library of 500 volumes and promised to secure fifty members if the movement was inaugurated. Supervision by ihe Omaha Y. M. C. . Boys' Department of the play-pe riods in the public schools of that city is a notable feature of its work. Dur ing the morning recess period of one school 150 boys were lined up in a competitive game, which was one cf a series of eight stunts given, one each week, to the schools. The principal told a visitor that she did not have to watch the grounds as she formerly did in order to prevent rowdyism, and that the spirit of clean competition in their games had seized the boys; and in every way discipline in and cut of the school had been made easier. In order to take in two schools each morning in this pla3ground work, the secretary prevailed upon the school authorities to arrange the recess pe riods of two neighboring schools so that they camo ten minutes apart. thus permitting him to reach and su pervise the play of the two schools in succession. The British National Council of the Y. M. C. A., the Liverpool association and the Industrial Department of the International Committee together are undertaking work for emigrants at Liverpool. Upon invitation of the English National Council, John Sum ner, of the American Industrial De partment, sailed for Liverpool last Sat urday, to spend some months in Liver pool in this co-operative effort. This will be the third port at which work for emigrants has been started, Y. M. C. A. secretaries having previously been installed at Naples and Genoa. The breadth and generosity of spirit of the European Associations in under taking this work is suggested by the fact that a large proportion of these emigrants are not natives but people from other countries for whom the As sociations at these port cities need not feel great responsibility. Work by the American Associations may have some element of self-interest because these new converts are coming Americans. Not so with the associations on the other side. Theirs can only be the un selfish motive.

Fashions of Europe and of This Country. "In Europe," the barber said, "it is the fashion for men to wear their moustaches long and trained carefully at the ends, in which shape they must b looked after at the cost of much time and - trouble. Here it is the fashion for men to wear their mustaches short, which may not be quite so pretty, but is vastly more convenient and comfortable; and is of the country characteristic, it is doing away "with surplusage and keeping the" decks cleared for action. "No man who has Had his mus tache trimmed short once," the bar ber said, "would ever let it grow again." mm vjf Ve Will 8er.a Sample Showing How B. B. B.
