Sunday School Normal Meetings Are

Pratt City January 6.-(special. THE
Pratt City public schools have reached
the highest number in attendance since
the establishing of the schools. The total
enrolment will exceed 1000 and the recita-
ton rooms are taxed to their full capaci-
ty.
The increase In the attendance since
the schools resumed, after the holidays,
has been very gratifying. Over fifty new
pupils have been enrolled this week. It is
now claimed that the schools deserve to
be ranked fourth with the public schools
of the state, instead of fifth, as hereto
fore.
Much of the credit for the prosperous
condition of the schools is due to Superin-
tendent Mcneil and his excellent corps of
teachers.

Why the Japs Are Strong.

The japanese are allowed to be
among the very strongest people on
earth. They are strong mentally and
physically, and yet practically they
eat no meat at all. The diet which
enables them to develop such hardy
frames and such well-balanced and
keen brains consists almost wholly of
rice. steamed or boiled, while the
better-to-do add to this Spartan fare
fish, eggs, vegetables and fruit. For
beverages they use weak tea, without
sugar or milk. and pure water, alco-
holic stimulants being but rarely in
dulged in. Water is imbibed in what
we should consider prodigious quaint
ties-to an Englishman. indeed, the
drinking of SO much water would be
regarded as madness, The average
Japanese Individual swallows about a
gallon daily in divided doses.
The Japanese recognize the bene-
flcial effect of flushing THE system
through the medium of the kidneys,
and they also cleanse the exterior of
their bodies to an extent undreamed
of in Europe or America.
Another-and perhaps this is the
usage on which the japanese lay the
greatest stress-is that deep, habitual,
forcible inhalation of fresh air is an
essential for the acquisition OF
strength, and this method is sedulous.
