CHlflA'S GREAT I1EEG Oriental Scholar, Dr. N Pooh Chew, Discusses the Country's Condition At - Earlham College. USES ENGLISH WELL Declares Through American Influence Opium Traffic n Rapid Decline in Oriental Republic. The presence of Ng Poon Chew, "The Mark Twain of China. created great interest in Richmond yesterday and at his three meetings, the foreigner spoke before big crowds. He delivered lectures at Earlham chapel In the morning, First Presbyterian church in the afternoon and at the First M. E. church at night. Ng Poon Chew, who is known in English as Mr. Ng, pronounced "Ning," is a highly educated man and uses the English language fluently. He was first educated in the language in his native country but later studied extensively In this and other English speaking nations. The speaker used perfect English and spoke with a slight accent which marked him plainly as a native of China. He Is conversant with international problems and is "on the inside" of Chinese politics. He declared that the Chinese are exceedingly grateful to the United States, that this country stands foremost of the powers of the earth in the eyes of the common people and the aristocrats as well. Has Made No Demands. Whereas every other power except the United States has appropriated a part of China, this country has made no demands on the yellow race for either money or property and has freely given In education and moral teachings. The American missionaries are influential in the communities In which they work to a greater extent than representatives of other nations. Ng Poon Chew described the political condition of China as badly muddled and declared there are two great factions working for control, of the new republic. He believes within a few years, this condition will have ceased to exist and the Chinese government will be conducted as a true republic. The chief need. he declared, Is money. He is familiar with the terms of the proposed international loan and insinuated that the powers which probably will partake in the advance of funds, are doing so to have a root in the nation. Ng Poon Chew does not believe, however, that the United States will be one of the nations which lends China money and as a result of this country refusing to assist in the negotiations, many trying conditions will be removed. The speaker seemed to believe, however, that the conditions the United States would have imposed would not hare been detrimental to the nation. He did not name them. "Our government is at work organising our military forces," he said. "With the present muddled condition of politics and the lack of funds, besides many other backward influences which confront a newly organized government, it is a difficult matter. Moral Training Need. "We will have no trouble securing money from the powers of the earth and they seem anxious to advance more than we want. It was proposed to borrow between $200,000,000 and $300,000,000, but there seems to be an inclination on their part to make the loan $500,000,000 and make the conditions more bindin gon our nation." Ng Poon Chew declared that religious and moral training is really the paramount need of the Chinese now. With the aid of missionaries from the western hemisphere, the work Is progressing rapidly. The school system has been greatly improved and the Chinese are able to get more practical education than formerly. He declared that the opium traffic was a product of civilization which I England's traders had brought to the I country. Through American influence ' this is gradually being wiped out. A j great edict against it was issued . months ago as the result of the fight of the missionaries to have the use of j the narcotic stopped. i "We believe opium will not be used ' in China after 1916." he said. "Of course, there may be some traffic In the drug, but every country has that to some extent. The use of opium in the past few years has 60 greatly diminished that its effect is no longer nationally felt." COBB'S PROGRAM County Agent Cobb has a full program before him this week. He will deliver eight or nine speeches, make farm visits every morning and give several orchard demonstrations. Today was spent in farm visits and office work. His program for the week follows: Tuesday, 9 o'clock, horticultural meeting northeast of Chester on the Everett Hunt farm. Afternoon at 2 o'clock, lecture In Centerville schools.

It is being demonstrated daily by Chiropractors that the secret of health lies in the Perfection of the Spine. Disease readily establishes itself in any part of the body when the nerves become unable to carry the normal amount of energy from the brain to the part. In the large majority of cases, the -physical sense of disease is a mechanical pressure on the nerve as it passes out between the bones of the spinal column. The trained and educated hand of a Chiropractor alone can find the pressure-point in the spine, and by a quick, skillful movement, adjust the displaced bone, and thus re-establish the flow of nerve energy and health. Every Chronic Disease Is the result of an abnormal spine. By examining the spine the cause of any chronic disease or weakness can be located; pains about the head, face, eyes, neck, back or limbs; diseases of the brain, lnngs, heart, stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or special organs cf sex; lowered vitality irritatibility, insomnia and inability to think or work, are some of the conditions where Chiropractic Adjustments remove the cause. I do not treat or cure. I remove the Cause, Nature Cures. Investigation costs nothing and may mean your health and happiness. J. C. BOCKMAN, CHIROPRACTOR Knollenberg's Annex. Phone 1868.

ABDSED FLY MOVES HAfiOLEYJTO WRITE Poet Office Employe Recalls Days When Father Wielded Fly Brush While Eating. The housefly is abused I This Is the first time any one has had the daring to put forth such & statement, with commercial organizations, civic improvement societies and women's clubs fraternizing for commond protection against the awful housefly, but Lawrence Handley, superintendent of malls in the Richmond postoffice, has taken the step, and is likely to phmge Into terrible doom or perdition for making light of the fly question, It is said. "If flies would multiply at the rate they tell us, we would all be carried out or eaten up before July," said Mr. Handley. "Forty years ago we didn't have screen doors. Many of us can remember well how our fathers sat at the head of the table, swinging a fly-brush across the board with one hand and eating with the other. We're all here yet, and we all hate flies, but the poor little things" In lieu of further explanation of his feeling for the housefly, he has written the following poem: THE FLY. You poor little innocent fly, Decree has gone forth that you die; The sin you commit, Insignificant bit, Is the fact that you multiply. Oh. monstrous, iniquitous bug, Your grave you have certainly dug; The freedom you've had Has made you so bad. They're after your terrible mug. 1 Oh, poor little bothersome fly, You've twisted the world all awry; The sins at your door About which, they roar, Are awful to think of, oh, my! Your liberties now we curtail, Where once you were privileged to sail The swatter so keen, Fly paper and screen, And death and distress now prevail.

You monster of terrible sin, , The ogres and giants were thin, j Compared to the thing 1 Your ravages bring, j To swatters and ail of their kin. INDIANAPOLIS GRAIN INDIANAPOLIS, April 6.

Mt. Parker presided. There were hundreds of Epworth Leaguers from all parts of the Northern Indiana conference In attendance. Dan B. Brummitt, eUtor of the Epworth Herald, made the principal address of the evening. Bishop McDowell the presiding bishop, who makes the assignments for pulpits, made the list public today. He had expected to have completed the list Saturday evening, but owing to what he called "wire pulling and unexpected requests from congregations," he had to defer the matter until today. The conference reports of Superintendent Preeland showed the district to be in exceedingly firm condition. There has been an increase In expenditures, a higher valuation of church property and increase in salaries of the ministers. According to the conference assignments, the Rev. B. Earl Parker will retain the First M. E. church, the Rev. Arthur Cates the Grace Episcopal church, and the Rev. Sylvester Btllheimer, the Mrrt m yA church.
