japanese Stopped.

The Japanese government has issued
an order prohibiting the emigration OF
laborers to the United States and Can
ada. This comes on the heels OF one
restricting that emigration consider
ably. This action will be a great re-
lief to the Canadian and British au-
thorities and also to those of this coun-
trv About a year ago the Japanese
hogan coming to British Columbia in
such numbers as to alarm the people,
who called on the Dominion authori-
ties to take steps by the imposing OF a
head tax or in some other way to stop
this inflow. This could not be done
without the assent Of the British gov
eminent. which neither wished to dis
oblige the Canadians nor to agree TO
a violation OF the treaties with Japan.
The arrival of so many Japanese In the
Pacific coast states was beginning to
work on the feelings Of their people.
There was danger of a demand on con-
gress for a japanese exclusion law.
Naturally the enactment OF such a
MEASURE would make II hard to keep
on friendly terms with Japan. whose
government would not relish the put
ting Of japanese on the same level
with Chinese. That government has
been consIderate in its action. 1t has
shown a desire that the present friend
" relations with the United States and
Canada shall suffer no change. 1t Is
possible. also, that at this uncertain
moment. when 1t is impossible to tell
what fighting Japan may have to do
with China or with Russia, 1t is deem
ed best not to let too many able-bodied
Japanese go so far away from home
that they will be unavailable for mill
tary duty. But when there Is no such
special demand for men some outlet
will have to be found for the surplus
population Of Japan. That Is one rea-
son why the japanese government is
so anxious to get Corea. The island
empire is oyercrowded with people. il
they cannot come to America they
must settle in Asia or the islan'h Of
the Pacific.

Buried Alive"

The opening article in the September
Journal Of Suggestive Therapeutics,
published by the Psychic Research
company, Times Herald building, Chi
cago. is from the pen OF the noted
scientist, Alexander Wilder, NJ. D., Of
Newark. The article deals effectively
with the perils of premature burial;
something which constitutes a real
menace to the public welfare. The
necessary precautions to be observed in
guarding against this danger are point
ed out, among which may be men
toned keeping the corpse in a warm
bed for at least thirty-siX hours after
the supposed death has taken place.
DR.. Wilder places little reliance, ap-
parently. upon physicians certificates
Of death. and quotes several CHASTITY
examples to support his position. The
article should be in the hands Of every
reader and the publishers announce
that they will send free copies to all
who apply until the stock is exhausted.

THE DOUGLAS SHOE.

The best advertised and consequent
ly the best known shoe in the world
today Ia undoubtedly made by the W.
L. Douglas Shoe Co, Of Brockton.
Mass. The one idea OF this company
has always been to sell a shoe for
$3.50 which equals in every way the IS
shoes Of any other concern They are
able to do this on account Of there be-
ing no middle mans profit, as the
goods are sold direct from the factory
to the wearer In so of the principal
cities Of the country they have their
own retail stores. The goods are made
In all sizes and widths, and few shoes
equal them for style and durability.
The factory at Brockton employs
over LOO hands. and all labor trou-
bles are settled by the state board OF
arbitration. Nothing but union labor
is employed. and pay about the best
average wages of any shoe workers in
the United States. The factory pay
roll amounts to $17,435 per week. This
company makes shoes for men only,
and it is their proud boast that over
one million men wear them.-Denver

Physiognomists go so far as to assert
that the nose is the key to the mans
character, the index to his brain. And
so many people-great employers
among them-share the belief that 1t
is almost as lucAy for a child TO be
born with a good nose on its face as
with tht proverbial spoon in its mouth.
There are noses and noses, even
among the good specimens. There Is
the artistic nose Qiterary men and
painters have it,; the constructive"
nose peculiar to architects and engi-
neers, and not the least important is
one labeled by physiognomists com
bative and organizing" This might
also be called the military nose. II

was personally well endowed in that

same extent as his vanquisher at

chosen their men for important posi-
tons by the size and shape OF their
noses. In short, Wellington and Ma

THE LAND
OF PLENTY

l wonder why it is that so many
men spend their days working hard
on rented farms, barely making
enough to get along, with no great
prospect ahead of owning their
own homes, when within a few
hours journey is a land of plenty
-Nebraska-where all kinds Of
grain and fruit can be raised with
the least amount of labor; where
cattle and hogs fed on corn bring a
handsome profit; where the climate
is healthful and churches and
schools abound; where land is
cheap and can be bought on very
easy terms.
Think of this, and if you want
information about the country send
to me for THE Corn Belt" a
beautifully illustrated monthly
paper that tells all about Nebraska,
and also for "The West Nebraska
Grazing Country" an interesting
