Medical record. The Japanese
have taught Europeans and Amer
Jeans az. lesson and nuenehed in
some degree the confidence OF the
Caucasian In his superior capacity to
do all things. Even In the matter OF
diet, our loEg-cherished theory that
the energy and vitality OF the white
man is largely due TO the amount of
animal food consumed. must undergo
revision.
The Japanese are allowed to be
among the very strongest people on the
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 & or
milk, and pure water, alcoholic stimu-
Tflants being but rarely INDUCED in, Wa
ter is imbibed. IN what we should con-
slider prodigions quantities-to an Eng
lishman. indeed. the drinking OF so
much water would be regarded as mad
Hess. The average Japanese individual
swallows about a gallon daily in divided
doses.
The. Japanese recognize the beneficial
effects OF flushing the system through
Understanding, and they also cleanse
the exterior OF their bodies to an ex-
tent unheard of in Europe or in Amer
lea.
Another-and perhaps this Is the
usage on which tie Japanese lay great
stress-is that deep. habitual. forcible
Inhalation of fresh air as an essential
for the acquisition Of strength, and this
method is ~Seduiously practiced until II
becomes "A part Of their nature.
The japanese have proved that a
frugal manner Of living Is consistent
with great bodily strength-indeed, IS
perhaps more SO than the meat diet
OF the white man. AS to the water
drinking habit, which Is SO distinctive a
custom with them. IL is probably an aid
TO keeping the system free from blood
impurities. and might be followed with
advantage in European countries, TO a
far greater extent than is at present
the case. Hydropathy and exercise
seem to be the sheet anchors Of the
Japanese training regimen, and, iudg
ing from results. have been eminently
satisfactory.

Ear Rsaohina Affection.

Hal and Donald, little lads OF 8 and Z
years, would sometimes manifest their af-
lection for their parents BY engaging In a
dialogue OF this kind:
Il love papa and mamma clear 70 Buff
falo."
well, / love them clear to Chicago"
III love them clear to Omaha"
Thus they would go by gigantic strides
until they reached San Francisco. when
one or them would cross the Pacific at a
single bound and say ~triumphantly.

This would stump" the other boy, be-
cause both lads seemed to think that
Japan was the end Of all space. One
evening, when the other boy had defeated
his brother by saying that he loved his
parents clear to Japan" the younger
boy put on his thinking cap, and presently
he announced with a ring OF triumph IN
his voice:
well, / just don't care IL you do love
papa and mamma clear TO Japan. I love
them clear to hell!--June Lippincotts.

Ovaritis or inflammation of the
ovaries or fallopian tubes which adjoin
the ovaries may result from sudden
stopping of the monthly flow, from
inflammation of the womb, and many
other causes. The slightest indication
of trouble with the ovaries, indicated
by dull throbbing pain in the side, ac-
companied wheat and shooting pains,
should claim your instant attention,
1t will not cure itself, and o hospital
operation, with all its terrors, may
easily result from neglect.

"sLY, DEvILIsH SLY.

"Why have democratic speak
ers and newspapers had so little
to say about the democratic can
didate for president and national
issues?" a republican voter asked
the editor of this paper few
days ago.
The reason is simply that they
realized quite early in the cam
paign that there was no earthly
hope of electing a democratic
congressman in this state and
that Washington was going by
an overwhelming majority for
Roosevelt. They do not desire
to arouse party feeling over ma
tional issues by obtruding Mr.
Parker's personality on the free
silver republicans and Bryan
admirers and thereby lose votes
for the state and county ticket,
and by this method of laying low
on the national issues to also
capture q few republican votes.
AS Joey Bagstock used to say,
They arc sly. Devihsh shy"

The republican press has
made no attack on Mr.. Steiner
The only attack so far made on
the gentleman comes from fell
low citizen of his who lives in
Douglas county. How does the
democratic press meet the at
tack. By denial or answer? No!
But by Quixotic attack on Mr..
Steiner's opponent, the Bridge
port Post and l.. Fl. Bowman.
Will this result in one single re-
publican voter casting his ballot
for Mr.. Steiner? No! Here is
another reason given by the
democratic press why republi-
cans should vote for Mr.. Steiner
rather than Mr.. Dill: "Mr. Dill
is large and fleshy and swings
when he walks. Mr.. Steiner is
thin, tall and dignified. A bet
ter reason would be: You ought
to vote for Mr.. Steiner because
he wants the Office"

the Waterville papers have something
to say about big potatoes, grown with
out irrigation. This week j. B. Hatha-
way brought some specimens OF the
large white Greeley variety that weigh
nearly four pounds each, that were
grown on the Elinger place, about one
and half miles south of town. These
also were grown without irrigation and
without rain. And what is more re-
markable, they were grown right here
under the shadow of the Cascade noun
tains, only few miles from the ever
lasting snow. Mr.. Hathaway says he
will have about seventy sacks, and they
will all run over two pounds each.

thing about him that the people
do not already know. He has

ner of treating everybody who

FACTS CONVINCE. ABUSE NEVER

A few weeks ago the Echo
printed an article copied from
the Bridgeport Post which re-
Elected somewhat on the profess
sional conduct of Mr.. Steiner,
the democratic candidate for
Judge of the superior court. We
regard the Post as an avera sc
country newspaper, just about
as fair and reliable as any other
country paper and in the use of
decent and respectful language,
better than some of US. We
printed the article referred to as
an item of current political news,
without comment or alteration.
Barring an ironical allusion to
Mr. Steiner in the headlines
there was nothing in the article
but what purported to be the
facts.
A man by the name of Joseph
Bartholomew made the following
statement to the editor of the
Post:
went to r. S. Steiner and asked
him If he would take contest case. He
said he would. told him l wanted to
contest q piece of land. He said he
wanted to know who it was against
that it might be one of his clients. l
told him it was Henry Fraser. He said
he did not consider Henry Fraser one of
his clients, and would take the case.
He also wanted to know what | could
prove. l told him what | could sub
stantiate: there were two witnesses |
had not yet seen that was satisfied
would substantiate the testimony of my
other witnesses.
then asked Steiner what he would
charge for his services and he said $50.
l told him the fee was all right and to
70 ahead. Then he urged me to notify
the two witnesses l had not yet seen
and he would proceed to get the papers
out. went out into the country about
% miles to interrogate the two wit
nesses referred to and came back to
town the next day.I Immediately called
upon Steiner and informed him that
everything was already and that we
could easily make our case good. To
my great surprise Mr.. Steiner stated
he had so much work to do that he
could not possibly take the time TO
bother with my case. He said in con-
clusion: Il will tell you this much,
Bartholomew, you have a good case

employed an attorney and when my
contest case finally came up for a hear
ing before the L. S. land office in Wat
erville in May of this year. II. S. Stein
err appeared as attorney for the defend
ant, w. Fl. Fraser.
The editor of the Echo never
met Mr.. Steiner and never heard
of him until he was nominated
by the democratic party for
Judge of the superior court.
Neither did he vouch for the
truth of the above statement or
make any comment thereon. He
will frankly state right here,
though, that he has an acquain-
lance near Coulee City, Douglas
sounty, in whom he has the ut

This paper has offended some
of its democr attic friends because
it has advised all republicans to
vote their ticket straight, and
giving its reasons therefor. Ad-
hitting but two sufficient reasons
why man who claims to be a
republican should not do so-dis-
honesty and want of sufficient
capacity to perform the duties of
the office. The Echo claims as
a republican paper it has a per
feet right to do this. If repub-
lican voters take this manifestly
fair and proper advice every
man on the republican ticket will
receive a substantial majority.

The campaign is becoming
more heated and the language
which some of our exchanges
employ in expressing their views
is becoming more Incorporate
every week. The Echo has re-
Trained from the use of such
doubtful expressions as ''liar, y
fool" ''knave, or kindred ex-
pressions. There is no argu-
ment in abuse or epithets. They
do not convince your friends and
earn the contempt of your enc
mics. An idiot can call you a
liar but he can not answer your
argument.
