press-dowager, by reason Of it's spires

DR.. William Elliot Griff1s, in re-
cent article on Japan, speaks of the
rapid growth Of its already over
crowded population, and adds that the
japanese, who have heretofore been
largely vegetarians, are now beginning
to eat good deal Of meat. A meat
eating population makes greater de-
mands upon the land of country than
does a nation Of vegetarians. A piece
OF beefsteak represents the growth of
an animal during many months in
which it has been eating grass and
other crops from a wide range of ter
ritory; a dish of oatmeal is mans d.
rect use of vegetable product.

never been in the surf before. He tried
to persuade her TO go into the water
with him again, but she refused, saying
she was afraid she would be drowned
