THE WAR IN THE ORIENT.

The trouble between Russia and
Japan dates back nine years
When Japan whipped China in 1895,
CHR recognized the independence
of Korea and coded to Japan big
slice OF territory in Manchuria
around Port Arthur. Russia OBJ
jected and Japan was forced to
give back this territory and take
money instead. Soon afterwards
Russia sent her ships to Port Ar
thur "to winter" and they are
there yet aud during the last nine
years Russia has virtually taken
ManchurIa from China, building
railroads, settling her subjects ia
railroad towns, certifying Port
Arthur and making it her Pacific
port, as her own ports are frozen
up half the year. She went further
and began to encroach on Korta,
the independent country 900 miles
long and $50 miles wide, separating
Russia and China IRON Japan.
When Japan protested, Russia de.
layed and ever since last August
there have been exchanges of diplo-
matte notes. Finally Japan sent
a demand that Russia recognize
Japan's rights 10 Korea and Japan
give the same recognition to Rus
Ssla's rights 10 Manchuria but the
integrity of both"Korea and China
he mutually recognized and upheld.
Russia struck out land China, "
showing her purpose to hold Man.
churia, including the territory she
would not consent for Japan to hold
IN 1895 after it had been won 10
battle. Japan then sent an ulti.
matum with Il time limit aud when
Russia failed to act, the Japs went
to fighting. At the present rate it
will not take Japan a month to
drive Russia's navy off the Pacific
ocean and unless overpowered on
land, she will eventually occupy
Manchuria. Russia has a war re.
serve of 3,5OO,0OO men, 295,0OO Of
them on the scene Japan has only
1875 600 men, ali available. Japan 5
navy is twice as large as Russia >
and greatly superior. AS long as
the fighting Is on the water, the
Japs will win. Japan has already
seriously crippled Russia's navy
and is IN control of Korean waters.
France sympathizes with Russia
and England has a treaty with
Japan by which she must help
Japan if third party interferes.
The United States and Germany
desire strict neutrality, but both
lean toward Japan. Both nations
want to fight it out without inter-
ference. The danger is that Chi
nese sympathizers with Japan may
involve China and if Russia at
tempts to fight China there will be
a war that will change the map of
the world.
Public sentiment in America aud
Europe is with Japan. The nations
of the world recognize that the
Cars aggressions must be stopped
And it looks like the little laps are
going to do it.

HERE IS ONE WAY
TO ACQUIRE FAT

There is absolutely no limit to the

ject. For instance, the Chicago fire de-
partment has some foolish or appar-
emily foolish regulations which pre-
cure an appointment in the fire de-
partment in that city he must weigh
so much. The case of one Walsh, as
recited in an exchange, is case in
point. He aspired to serve the city of
Chicago as fireman, but found that
he was four pounds shy of the one
hundred and forty pound weight which
is the minimum of the members of the
Chicago fire department. To make up
the lacking four pounds, his political
pull secured him a weeks grace, and
the way he acquired the extra four
the following rules:
Don't work. Eat and sleep plenti-
fully and take light exercise.
Rise at $780, For brea kfast, half an
hour later. eat as much oatmeal as
can be taken with plenty of cream.
Drink milk and water-considerabl
water Potatoes are to be eaten in any
style without grease. They are the
greatest fat producers, being nearly all
starch.
Rest until 10 a. m. Then walk for an
hour, not too briskly. Take a nap if
it does not interfere with the regular
ten hours sleep.
For the midday meal eat roast veal,
roast beef or chicken with rich soup.
Chicken broth with rice is preferable.
Eat mashed potatoes and quantities of
bread and butter. 1t is better to avoid
pastry.
Take a nap soon after dinner. Late
in the afternoon exercise in the open
air for three-Quarters of an hour-not
too briskly. Afterwards sponge down"
with sea salt and water. This will
freshen you up for your final meal.
For the evening meal take meat or
eggs with plenty of bread and butter
and potatoes again. A little pastry
might be eaten with this meal, but
avoid anything containing grease.
After supper rest during twenty min
utes. Between 1880 and $3.50 p. m. spend
in the open air. Ride in a carriage or
an automobile. If they are not avail
able a street car will do.
During this course, be cheerful and
seek company, especially on your even
ing ride.
If the Chicago fire department wants
fat and not brains, this formula would
seem to be good enough, but the studies
which conduce to the knowledge of how
to fight a fire seem to be subservient
to those of how to produce avoirdupois

Why WE PRAY WHEN
We ARE IN TROUBLE
&C. e.a.a.e.s.s.9s9.@.0

The undoubted habit of civilized men
and wor-Ien the world over to resort to
prayer when in acute distress, no mat
ter what their religion may be, gives
evidence of a human instinct which
neither argument nor disappointment
IS able to eradicate. Pursuing this line
OF reasoning recent contributor to
the London Spectator points out that
those who desire to be delivered from
some sudden pain or peril do not ask
to have words found for them in which
they may express themselves, and they
do not turn TO the Lords Prayer of the
Bible.
Christ suggested TO all men to pray
every day for the means of livelihood,
and His followers, by their owu ac
count, prayed for Temporary blessings.
Our Lord himself-with the reserVati
of complete obedience to Gods will
prayed fervently that the doom He
foresaw might be averted. Again, it
is almost impossible to distinguish be-
tween spiritual and temporal benefits,
so complex is the world we live in.
Most men in the present day simply
could not pray for what seems 10 them

power to pray that that life may re-
turn to the body; but who can tell how
many calamities may have been avoid
ed by spiritual suggestion? To deny
that instances of answers to prayer
have occurred is, in the opinion of the
present writer at least, to shut ones
eyes to evidence.
