rxxDExcx or THE ru6Es,

Tho tendency of medical science Is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world Is being given
to the subject. 1t Is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. It has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one of the most dangerous diseases
that medical men have to contend
with. can be prevented by the use of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneu-
monia always results from q cold or
from an attack of influenza (grip),
and it has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any t. 1ency of
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands Of cases In which this rem
edy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until it Is sud
denly discovered that there Is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest, then it is announced
that the patient has pneumonia. Be
on the safe side and take Chamber
lains Cough Remedy as soon as the
cold Is contracted. 1t always cures.

LITTLE JAPAN IS GREAT WHEN
MEASURED BY ITS RESOURCES

TOXIC, Feb. 24.-The Japs, as
has been said in previous article.
delight in calling their empire "Dai
Nihon" (Great Japan, and while the
prefix can not be applied when con-
sidering the extent of the country. 1t

resourcefulness of the empire and to

Magnificent mountains, with seem

American Rockies, superb temples.

ple-for the Yankee of the far east
is now considered great-go to make
Japan a great country.
The area of Japan Is but one
twentieth that of the United States,
yet the population is one-half as nu-
merous. Japan claims 100000 in
habitants, which, in such restricted
boundaries, means great density of
population.
1t is impossible to ride a mile. even
IN the country, without seeing q
dwelling The country villages are
almost continuous, and in the cities
the residents are huddled together.
The annual increase of population is
estimated at $780, 900, so that II this
rate is maintained 1t will not be long
before the residents will be literally
forced off the island. Thus expansion
is a problem that always confronts
the Japanese.
Japan is mountainous. The level
ground is only 10 per cent of the
total area. A range Of mountains
traverses Hondo. the largest Of the
four main islands. 1t resembles a
huge backbone. The highest peak is
the famous Full. 1886 feet above sea
level. Full IL an extinct volcano,
whose last eruption was in 1903. Ten
months of the year snow covers it's
peak.
Other peaks Of more than 5000
feet are intake, Asama, Bandai, Aka
shi, Shirane. Also and Komagatake.
Eruptions are frequent and earth
Quakes of more or less violence are
Of almost daily occurrence. The
shocks are not perceptible ordinarily,
but the ssismometer registers them.
The mountains have their pleasant
as well az their unpleasant character,
however, for they offer means of es-
cape from the depressing heat Of tho
summer. Karuizawa, Hakone, Nikko,
Arima. Miyanoshita and Chuzenji are
the popular summer resorts and many
Europeans spend the weeks of hot
weather in one or the other.
The excessive humidity that makes
Japanese summers almost unbearable
along the coast is due to the insular
position and heavy rainfall. Sudden
changes Of the weather are always
expected. The air lacks ozone and
for this reason Europeans and Ameri-
cans are unable to carry on vigorous
mental or physical labor.
The Japanese summer Is some
times very wet and September and
October are liable to be almost tropi-
cal in precipitation. November and
early winter months are compare
lively dry, and February and March
marked with snow and dirty weather
AS most of the native inns are minus
fireplaces. the changes in the weather
are keenly felt by those forced to re-
side in them.

RUBBER
ROBBERS

Within the past week the residence
of Herman Allenburg, 1927 Fourth
avenue, has been visited twice by mem
bers of the light-fngered profession.
About a week ago a raid was made
on the ice chest, which is kept on the
back porch. The avaricious appetites
Of the timid thieves were satisfied
with several jars of fruit, a few cold
potatoes and the leavings of the even
ing meal.
Last night, while the Allenbergs
were entertaining company, another
visit was paid the house. This time the
robbers did not visit the rear porch,
but boldly walked onto the verandah
and appropriated pair of rubbers be-
longing to Miss Anna Il. Doyle, a guest
Of the Allenbergs. Miss Doyle is in
the employ Of the Equitable Life In
surance company.
A robbery twice in one week was
too much for the Allenbergs and
telephone message was sent to the.
police to keep an eye open for the
desperadOss.
