Dee. 20.—(By the Associ ated Press.) A receipt declaration by Dr. Sun Yat-sen that the geographi cal location of Peking unfits it as the capital city of a progressive nation has prompted many localities to claim the hpnor. Hankow, 600 miles up the Yangtsze River, presses its claim on the ground that it lies in the center of a rich agricultural and manufacturing district, which probably will be im proved in the near future by the exten sion of a railroad in Szechwan. Hankow’s citizens advance a senti mental argument that it was in their city that the 1911 revolution began, Which resulted in the establishment of the Chinese Republic. Nanking, said to be favored by Dr. Sun, has been the capital of China nu merous times. Its name, translated, means southern capital, as opposed to Peking, northern capital. Nanking was the seat of government of six dynas ties between the fourth and sixth cen turies and was made the capital under the Mings in the'fourteenth century. In 1911, the city was taken by the rev olutionaries, who established the .pro visional government with Djv Sun as president. Another claimant is Hangchow, 110 miles south of Shanghai. It was the capital of one of the Sung Emperors who chose it because of its scenic splendor.' Those who urge changing the capital, argue that Peking is too far removed from the rest of the country, having long been retained merely to please the Manchus. They say that if China is to be unite 1 politically it must have a capital more accessible to the whole country, and, incidentally, free from the terrific dust storms which, at cer tain seasons, «f>low in from the Gobi desert. It is admitted, however, that China, in view of its more pressing problems, probably will not make a change in the near future. Many Children Are Treated at Clinics RALEIGH, Jan.' 13.—A total of 2, ,488 children operated upon fOV diseas , ed tonsils and adenoids and 32,297 given ^ree dental treatment summar , Izes the work of 1922, "the most suc cessful of the five years during which ■the State Board of Health has been administering the law with regard to medical inspection of schools,” accord ing to a statement issued tonight. , Under the direction of Dr. G. M. Cooper, tonsil afad adenoid clipics were held in 29 counties, with 108 days of actual operating, it was 7 stated. A total of 2,4 88 children oper ated 'on gave an average of a little Over 23 operations a day. Of the to tal number receiving surgical atten 7 fion, 1,127, or more than 45 percent, were treated without cost to their - parents or communities. Yj. ' "Each child operated on made f prompt and satisfactory recovery it was asserted,” and the vast majority Of them since report marked im . provement in general health. , "An operating surgeon, a clinic phy sician, twelve registered nurses and a hospital orderly composed the clinic , staff during- the summer months, when most of the clinics were held. >- "Clinics were held as far east as Manteo, in' Dare county,, and as far Y> yvest as Highlands, In Macon, county. V' Srhe range of territory included On flow, on the southeast, and Allegh ney, Ashe and Yancey, in the north west. ' . "In 39 counties during the year, dental clinics were held, the total 7, number of children treated being 32,297. Included in the; geographi 3 cal distribution were all sections of 7' the state from Clay—in the extreme s west, to Currituck, in the north ■ east; Cleveland, Richmond and Scot if . Jand, on the South Carolina border, gv And Gates, Rockingham and Allegh ; ' aney, on the north. For varying Y5 iierlods, 22 dentists were employed In order to complete this extensive un itensive undertaking. i-Y "The plan of, . medical inspection Y and attention to school children was "... > originated and developed in North . Carolina a,ni has been adopted in a ; number of other states, in the PM11-; Y itpine islands and in at least two shu-ouean countires,” It .was stated. Sea and Land Wage Enduring Battle Along American Coast Tbe washing away by the sea or land worth millions of dollars on the coast of New Jersey, pointed to re cently in the annual report of the di rector of the United States Coast and | Geodetic Survey, draws attention to the battle waged year in and year out between sea and land along the entire length of America’s eastern shore line. “The truth is that sea and land have been foes since the beginning of time,’’ says a bulletin on the same subject is sued from the Washington (D. C.) headquarters of the National Geo [ graphic society. | "According to the dreams of some | physiographers, these old enemies will | remain such until the last mountain pinnacle has been washed down and i ground to sand, and the victorious ! ocean rolls unbroken around the world, j But whatever may be the outcome mil lions of years in the future, we are j now in an era of give and take. Many j acres—seven square miles—of land are lost annually; but compensating areas are built up at other places.” Continuing, the bulletin quotes as I follows from a communication to the society by John Oliver La Gorce de scribing the “action” in portions of the Atlantic sector where the never ending conflict rages most furiously; [ Waves Undermine Nantucket's Cliffs “Looking southward across the east ern entrance to Nantucket Sound, one sights Nantucket island in the dis tance. On the south side of this island the retreat of the cliffs is often as much as six feet a year. “Further to the west lies Martha’s Vineyard, also an outpost of the land. Here there are rearing ramparts of rock a hundred feet high, but even they cannot entirely withstand the in cessant attacks of the indomitable sea. "To the southwelt of Marthas Vine yard lies the desolate island of ‘No Man’s Land,’ which is weir worthy the name it boars. Gradually the sea is tearing away its vitals, and it is predicted that by the epd of the pres ent century it will disappear beneath the waves forever. “On the south coast of Long Island we find beaches and shifting sands. Here we get into more hopeful terri tory, for the land always has an up building Oliver for every down-tearing Roland the sea may have to offer. From Shinnecock Bay to Fire Island,] a rampart of sand some 40 miles long] has been thrown off the real shore-line,! and the sea, pounding against this in] its maddest fury, encounters a buffer i that throws it back a helpless and ex-j hausted foe. , Moreover, the sea is; compelled to surrender captive sands i taken up elsewhere, and these are re-1 equipped and put into the front, trenches if the island’s south-shore de- | fenses. 1 • S a It U y NUUK »ICIU17 iwr HUHU “On the Jersey Coast, Sandy Hook j stands out as an advance guard of the : forces of the land, determined to cut I through the line of communication of | the sea in its drive into the Raritamj Bay salient. S “When there is a deeply indented | coast-line, the ocean currents paral-1 lellng the shores refuse to follow the Indentation and cut straight across. Striking deeper water, they slow up and deliver from bondage the captive grains of sand which momentum has enabled them to carry along. “Eventually these grains grovrTnto a high- submarine ridge, which holds up the onrushing waves and forces them to give up a*sand toll as they pass. Having gained courage in its size, the ridge makes| a sally from the surf and becomes, a full-fledged spit, or hook. “Sandy Hook is a splendid example of this method of the land in invading the dominions of the sea. It very frequently happens that the spit marches on until it reached across the bay area and captures the entire water army within the salient. Then science decorates it with a croix de guerre and gives it a new name—It becomes a bar. . Sand Barriers a Protection "The Jersey coast is full of felasslc examples of the war between the land and the sea. Here are no towering ramparts, with frowning walls, that Beem to defy all the armies with which General Neptune can attack them. Nay, rather, here the land forces have cam ouilanged their strength, and have en trenched themselves behind barriers of sand. “At Long Branch one may waitch the shifting fortunes of the battle. Here, fn spite of the most elaborate system of breakwaters man has erected, the! shore-line Is being led capt^Ve Inch by Inch. But the prisoner sand does not remain In captivity. As it Is being escorted back of the lines it makes a successful dash for liberty and-rejoins! other land units north and south of I Long 'Branch and aids in a counter attack in those neighborhoods. ; "In the vicinity of Atlantic City the! sea is ever striving to gain a foothold;; but at present the best it can do Is to j force a shifting of land reserves from1 one side of a salient to another. In a few years it took off some 76 acres of ground from the neighborhood of Maine avenue and forced most of it around to the lee of the point at Ohio and Net^ Jersey avenues. "If the sea in its warfare against the land sometimes ruins a haven of i refuge, at other times it is compelled | by the land to create such a haven. I Off the 'Maryland-Virginia shore lies i the long, barrier-like island of Assa teague. Once the seaward southern point of this island was only a bare lip. Gradually, however, the land be gan to^force the sea to give it sand, and with this it has built a fine hook behind which many a mariner seeks safety from the fierce nor-easters that sweep these coasts. Wind Change* Side* “When one comes to the Virginia capes and studies conditions there, it is found that in times past the sea had another ally, of which no mention has yet been made—subsidences. In a bygone age the Susquehanna, the Po tomac, and the James rivers rolled in stately grandeur to the sea. Then there came a subsidence, and the sec rushed in through the reach between Capes Charles and Henry and over whelmed the land in all that vast area we call Chesapeake Bay. "The land has not always been with out an ally to counterbalance this dis play of strength. Sometimes there come upheavals of the floor of the sea -that drive the water into a retreat which often becomes a rout. “From the Virginia capes southward, one may see the same forces at death grips that are found on the Jersey and othed coasts. But neither at Cape Cod nor in Jersey will one behold to such advantage the role played by the wind, the boshevik of the land and sea war, as in the region of the kingly capes and in the vicinity of Hatteras. Now it boldly marshals its forces alongside those of the water and urges on the attack with the utmost abandon. And now, repentant of that role, it steps in and helps the land erect great bar riers of sanddunes—against which the wildest sea, in its maddest moments, charges in vain. “Along the southeasternmost coast of Florida, from Cape Florida, yhlch guards lovely Miami, on down to Key West, is the beautiful key region, where the coral polyps have estab lished foundations upon which the land has been able to build first-line de fenses that break - up the assaults of the sea before they reach vital ground."

Ftftt SALE Fifty Fire-proof Iron Safes, both new and second-, hand Samuel Bear, Sr., & Sons CHRISTIAN PAPERS FOUND IN JAPAN Large Number of Old Books and Other Volumes Relating to Christianity Found TOKIO, Dec. 20.—(By Associated Press.)—It is’ reported that Marquis Kokujun Tokugawa has discovered among- his heirlooms a large stock of old books and other articles relating to Christianity in Japan during the forbidden period in the Tokugawa era. These will ge donated to the museum at Tokio and that of Mito,\tlie native city of the marquis. The books will be placed at the disposal of students of Christian history in Japan. Since the time of the Third Shogun there had been in the Tokugawa treas ures a series Of large boxes known as "ever-closed cabinets.” The present marquis, upon deciding to open them, was surprised to And a number of books and personal effects that in chided copies of the Bible written in Japanese kana and representing the original sounds of foreign language, while the dresses were those worn by Japanese Christians at the time of the Amakusa Christian rebellion. Up to now, relics of the Christian era in Japan consisted of paving stones engraved with a cross upon which Christians were forced to walk, rosa ries and statues of the Madonna and Child under the form of -Kwanon, fod dess of Mercy, holding a child to avoid detection. These are found chiefly in southern Japan, where Christian vil lages also were discovered in remote mountains dating from the time of the persecution. Presents from the Pope to the Lord of Sendai, who received them upon the occasion of the first Japanese embassy to Rome, are preserved in northern Ja pan. j Crescent Candy Co.

I I Then Saw I Would Have The Secret Key to Health For Thousands of Weak, Nervous, Run-down Folks— A Message" Of Good Cheer To Those Who Want To Be Strong, Healthy and Vigorous Cut Out and Use Free Trial Coupon Below Today If I could sit down with you in your own parlor, face to face, and tell you how many thousands of people have been helped back to good health, in. creased strength and energy by this newer form of iron, I am sure that you would not hesitate for a moment to go to the nearest drag store and get a two weeks’ trial treatment. First of all, I want to be sure that this treatment is jirhat you really need, and second, I want to make it very easy for you to try it at my expense. Did you ever stop to consider how few people are suffering from a definite disease as compared to the vast number who are just weak, sick, nervous and run-down; people who are always ailing, complaining and doctoring without ever seeming to get any bettor ? One has pains in the back and thinks he has kidney trouble; another has pains around the heart, palpitations and dizziness, and is sure he is suffering from heart disease; still others have severe headaches, floating spots before the eyes, tender spots along the spine, and a great variety of alarming symptoms. _ For years I have made a special study of this condition, consulting a great number of physicians and chemists. An immense number of investigations by physicians all over the country showed that three people out of every four you meet lack 100% iron in their blood. I then saw that if I could supply this iron in a form that would be easily taken up by the body, I would have the secret key to health for thousands of weak, nervous, run-down people. Lack of ! iron in the blood is the greatest of all de vitalizing weaknesses. It is the iron in your blood that enables you to get the nourish ment out of your food. Without iron, noth- I ing vou eat does you any good. In the old j days people often took metalie iron which some physicians claim the body cannot ab sorb. In compounding this newer form of iron, which I call Nuxated Iron, I used a special form of iron which is like the iron in your blood and like the iron in spinach, lentils and apples, and is ready for almost immediate absorption and assimilation by the blood. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the follow ing test and see if you cannot be like other people whose blood is rich in iron, who possess great strength, force and energy. Cut out my trial coupon and go to your own druggist and get your first trial pack age of Nuxated Iron. Then see how long you can work or how far you can walk wi th out becoming tired. Next take two five grain tablets of Nuxated Iron three times a day, after meals, fig two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. An astonishing number of nervous, run down people who were ailing all the while are today in good health and filled with abundant strength, energy and endurance through the use of this newer form of iron. It would seem that every run-down person who wants to get back their old-time strength and health would go at once to their druggist and make this trial at my expense. Trial Coupon -1 Fill In this coupon with your name and I address and take it to any druggist in your | | city. Deposit With him the price of one I , regular full-size bottle of Nuxated Iron.
