The Rendinr Cnre

Reading aloud is recommended by
physicians as a benefit to persons af-
fected with any chest complaint. The
recommendation is made because in all
cases of lung trouble it is important
for, the sufferer to indulge in exercise
by which the chest is in part filed by
and emptied of air, for the exercise is
strengthening to the throat, lungs and
muscles of the chest.
Reading aloud can be practiced by
all and besides being n curative act
can be n pleasure and profit to both
reader and hearers. In this treatment
it is recommended that an overdose of
medicine be avoided, that the reading
be deliberate, without being allowed
to drag, that the enunciation be clear,
the body be held in an easy, unstrain-
ed upright position, so that the chest
will have free play, and that the
breathing be natural and as deep as
possible without undue effort. as..z-

I-roIessIons Not 0vercrowded.

There is u dearth of thoroughly train
ed men in all professions. The more
eXacting the conditions the greater the
need. The thoroughly trained man
nowadays must be college man. The
universities are using every effort to
train men along special lines for def
mite efficiency in something. The old
idea Of college education as general
culture is passing away. The universi-
ty takes men as they are and makes
the most out of what they can do. A
man today in America is foolish to be
"Self made" when better means are at
hand. 1t is equally foolish to choose a
self taught man as against other men
who have worked with equal zest and
force and with much better advan-
tages.
Formerly Il man of an executive turn,
n leader in business or politics. found
in Il college education little that could
help him. Now he finds everything
In the future the college men will be
the natural leaders in Industrial and
political affairs. The reason is that the
men born TO lead cannot afford to stay
out of fcollege.-SucceSS.

NO. my dear. That is for dry wealth

After school hours it had stopped
raining, and George trudged home

"Oh, Georgia. what have you been
doing with my umbrellaY' said his

Throwing Rice.

How many people know that the Gus
tom of throwing rice at wedding
symbolizes not the expression of good
luck, but it is a metaphorical flight of
arrows shot at the bridegroom. In un-
civilized ages most nations were accus-
toned to the forcible capture of bride
by her lover, and the attempts on the
part of her male relatives to prevent
her husband from carrying her away is
typified by a volley OF rice instead Of
more fatal missiles.

Attire Before the Camera.
AS evidence of the extent to which
the ornamental precedes the useful Ex-
plorer Humboldt noted the fact that
the Orinoco Indians In fair weather
strutted about attired in all the finery
they were able to procure, their faces
painted gaudily. their heads decked
with feathers their whole aim being to
strike aston:shment TO the beholder
and no regard whatever had for COM
fort.
When the weather was bad, Hum
bOldt found that the same men would
doff their clothing and carry it about to
save it for display on future sunny
days.
The same traits are seen today in the
North American Indians little modified
by many years of intermingling with
civilization.
That part of Pennsylvania avenue,
Washington. running from Second to
Sixth street is the favOrite promenade
OF visiting Indians. Portions of Sec
ond and Third streets, running off the
avenue. are filed with boarding houses
especially patronized by the redskins
and especially avoided by the whites in
consequence.
A number of photographers in the vi

To deprive the visiting Indian of the
privilege to sit for his photograph in

hostile to Japan. His country, he added,
was not opposed to any present movement
by Russia. In fact the relations between
the two countries were now of the friend
liest.
The marquis had little to say on things
political in Japan, for now that he has
left ON a private journey he Is out Of pol
itics, he said. "No, not forever, oh, NO"
he said. "It is hardly likely that 1 will
cease to give my services to my country
when needed
My trip Is taken solely in search Of health,
but when Japanese is abroad his main
thought is OF Japan, and the thing most
painful to his ear is to hear Of political or
other complications. Therefore, If anything
is noted on my journey that will be of inter-
est to the Japanese, will promptly send the
Information home, and it is likely that much
information will be gathered in the United
States, for western affairs have now begun
to occupy large share Of the attention Of
the orient.
Political conditions in Japan were fast ap-
preaching a satisfactory basis when I left.
The Seiyukai party, which is a party Of
progress, formed OF old and new elements,
was firmly nodded before I left, and much
is looked for from it.
The revised treaties are still operating
with good effect. In fact, since they were
put in force, an era Of advancement began.
Japan is now on friendly relations with all
powers. Not even with Russia is there q
question likely to cause friction, notwith-
standing the oft repeated rumors to that ef-
feet
There was nothing when I left regarding
Russia's movements in Korea and Manchu-
ria, but it is hardly likely they would cause
friction between the two powers.
ardino he ho5
offered to take the Chinese fleet as part
payment Of the indemnity, the marquis
said he had not heard of 1t. If true it was
hardly likely that Japan would offer any
objection, for what did one or two ships
more or less matter anyway.
No effort had been made yet by Japan
to foster trade with Russia in Asia, as
he understood the United States was do
ing, but it was likely that steps would be
taken in that direction before long. The
financial prospect for Japan, which had
been causing some misapprehension, he
said, was just approaching stable basis.

Write plain, sensible letters, giving de-
tailed facts Of i'll health caused from i'm
proper food and explain the improvement,
the gain in strength, in weight, or in
brain power after using Grape Nuts food.
1t is a profound fact that most ails of
humanity come from improper and non
nourishing food, such as white bread, hot

gested food like Grape Nuts, scientifically
made and containing exactly the elements
nature requires for building the delicate
and wonderful cells of brain and body VIII

Include in the letter the true names
and addresses, carefully written, of twenty

PIERRE CAPITAL BONDS
Application for a Mandamus Taken
Under Advisement.


Special to The Journal.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 3.-Judge Car
land of the United States court, has heard
the arguments in the now celebrated cases
(seven in number) involving the payment
Of bonds aggregating $53,OS7.5S, issued by
Pierre during the capital fight for the
promotion Of the city's interest.
The bondholders we're awarded 1udg-
ments against the city, and made applica-
tion for writs of mandamus compelling
the Pierre authorities to levy tax for
the payment of the bonds. The hearing
was for the purpose Of permitting the
Pierre authorities to show cause why the
writs of mandamus should not be issued.
The substance of the arguments in be-
half of the city was that the increased
taxation would prove extremely burden
some and beyond the ability of the tax
payer to pay should they be compelled to
raise all the money for the payment OF
the judgments in a single year. The at
torney for the holders Of the judgments
contended. that precedents and decisions
of courts in similar cases gave the court
power to require the levy Of sufficient
tax in a single year to pay judgments OF
a similar character.
Judge Garland took the matter under
advisement and his decision is awaited
with a great deal of interest.

to say the boys were never more truly
appreciated than by that large company of

The stage was well filled with actors

to the band.
