There have been more pictures con-

Sousa, the great, is on his native
heath when he comes to Washington,
and Washington is proud of that. He
and his marches are cosmopolitan. of
course, but the Capital City feels that
it has an especial reason to grow en-
thusiastic over the martial rhythm of
those marches. and TO welcome the un-
assuming, graceful, and magnetic lead
er with storms of applause. He will
be here next Sunday night at the La
fayette Square Opera House with fifty
and more musicians, all selected for
some especial fitness, and will also give
matinee concert at the same hour on
Thursday, January 20.
The SouSa march is always simple.
1t is the sort of march boy can whis-
tie and keep time to as he walks
along the street, and il is the sort of
march that a big orchestra can play
and lind scope for all of its skill and all
of its power of expression. There is al
ways an idea in the Sousa march which
can be grasped by ordinary people, but
1t really takes a band, led by the COM
poser himself, to bring out the shades
of musical meaning in any of them He
has his personal ideas and idioSynera-
sizes as to the way in which his music
should be played, and he has translated
those into speech, and the speech
moves his hand half an inch it means
a whole sentence to that band That is
what gives the SouSa band its peculiar
quality. All the musicians are trained
to work together and to express the
inmost thought of their leader in his
own music. Sousa will be assisted at
these concerts by Maud Reese Davies,
soprano. and Jennie Hoyle, vioi.nis.-

DERISION AND SCORN
For Those Who Speak Against PopuIa,
 Habits,

One hundred years ago, ministers and 1aymen alike were accustomed to use some spirits as well as tobacco,
 and the one who spoke disparagingly of either of the famous nullifiers of good intentions was sure to bring
 down on himself derision and scorn; but the hard, cold facts move along in
 a most uncompromising way, and
 those who persist in placing them selves in the road are ground up with a more or less degree of promptitude
 The same conditions to-day sur-
 round the drug we know of as coffee The self-respecting individual dislikes to hear i'll reports of his favorite bev- craze, but that does not alter the fact that the physical aches, ails and mis- cries of tens of thousands of good peo- pie come from the little suspected cof- fee pot. Ten days to month trial without coffee and the use of Postum Food Coffee in it's place will prove the
 facts, and good bounding health is well worth the experiment.. Postum, well brewed, is delicious and gives one the exact kind of food needed to rebuild the body in most perfect manner.

importance in fifteen states, while in nearly all the remaining states and territories frogs are taken for local or home consumption. The states SUD- plying the largest quantities for the markets are California, Missouri, New York, Arkansas, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio and Indiana, and of these New York leads the list. The special local- ities where froghunting is done are the marshes of the western end of Lake Erie, the Lewis and Grand reser- voirs in Ohio; the marshes of the Sac ramento and San Joaquin rivers, Cali fornia; the valley of the Kankakee riv- CT, Indiana; Oneida Lake, Seneca river and other waters of northern New York and the St. Francis river and sunken lands of the Mississippi river in Arkansas and Missouri.
 The unrestricted hunting of frogs has caused a rapid diminution in their number, and consequently frog farms, for their artificial propagation and raising, are coming into vogue. The largest of these is located in Ontario, in the Trent river basin. It has been in operation about twenty years, and annually yields comparatively large output of frogs. The waters were stocked by means of mature mated frogs. No attempt is made to confine the frogs until the time of shipment approaches, when they are taken alive at night, with the aid of torchlight, and confined in small pens. These are then drained and the frogs captured when they are desired for market. No food is given, as this is naturally present in sufficient amount for suc- cessful growth. The species is the eastern bullfrog, which reaches matur- ity in three years, and reaches market able size in four years. During the last three years this farm yielded an- nually five thousand pounds of dressed frog legs and seven thousand living frogs for scientific purposes and for stocking other waters.
 The species commonly eaten are the bullfrog, the green frog, the spring frog
 and the western bullfrog The most widely distributed Is the common frog, known variously as the spring frog, shad frog or leopard frog. It is found from the Atlantic coast to the Sierra Nevada mountains, and from Lake tAIlldpdSCtt, III CdudQd, to lTuaIeTQdld, Central America. It reaches a length | of three and a half inches, exclusive of | legs.
 The green frog is found in the east ern part of the United States and Can- ada. This frog is especially aquatic in | habits, not hunting for food on land,
 and frequenting all kinds of fresh | waters. The pickere1 frog, marsh frog | or tiger frog resembles the leopard frog, but may be readily distinguished from it by the bright yellow on the
 thighs and legs. This particular frog
 has a disagreeable odor, and it is but
 rarely eaten. The bulfrog Is the l largest of North American frogs
 reaching a body length of over eight
 inches. It has very much the same ge-
 ographical range as the spring frog.
 The western bullfrogs are not so well
 known, and range from Montana west
 to Puget Sound, thence south to Cali fornia.-Philadelphi Record.

GREAT CONSUMPTION OF FROGS
The Unrestricted Hunting of Them for Food Makes Frog Farms Profitable

The Unrestricted Hunting of Them for
 Food Makes Frog Farms Profitable.
 France has long been regarded as the ''nation of frog-eaters, but is is an es- tablished fact that the United States of America now consumes just twice as many frogs as France. The annual catch of frogs in this country is not less than one million, with a gross value to the hunters of fifty thousand dollars, while the yearly cost of frogs legs to consumers is not less than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
 The value of frogs as food is now thoroughly recognized. The meat is white, delicate and very wholesome and palatable. Although eaten at all seasons, it is in best condition in fall and winter; in spring it is of relatively inferior quality. Only the hind legs are commonly utilized, the meat on the other parts of the body being edible, but in very small quantity. Frog hunting is carried on in all sections of the United States, and is of economic
