Is it tea that makes the Jap?
What makes a Russian?


France drinks the most wine and
Belgium the most beer. The United
States as a consumer of spirits, beer
and wine runs far behind most coun-
tries. The monthly summary of com
merce and finance issued by the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
says:
France shows the heaviest con-
sumption of the most concentrated
beverage spirits, viz: ISL gallons per
inhabitant. The other countries, fol
lowing in order of their per capita
consumption of spirits are: Sweden,
2.l3 gallons: Germany, 2.11 gallons;
Belgium, LAP gallons: United King
dom, 1.3S gallons; United States. 1.33
gallons; Russia, 1.29 gallons, and
Italy. "a gallons.
THE figures per capita of beer con-
sumption reveal the fact that Belgium
stands at the head of the nations, its
per capita consumption being 1888
gallons; second in order is the United
Kingdom, with 35.42 gallons. while
Germany. which shows the largest alb
solute figures OF consumption in the
matter of per capita consumption.
takes third place, with 30.77 gallons:
the United States follows with 1904
gallons.
1.-The consumption of wine may be
said to be concentrated in two coun-
tries, chiefly France and Italy. The
figures of per capita consumption in
these countries, 3473 gallons in France
and 3lS6 gallons in Italy. are almost
Identical with those shown for beer
by the United Kingdom and Germany.

Saved by a Dog.

Phoenix, Arizona, dispatch. tells
how brave dog saved the lives Of
three children at the sacrifice Of his
own. Ravenous wolves attacked the
three children of C. V. Webb. between
Cottonwood Wash and Pima. and only
the sacrifice OF a noble and courage
Gus hunting dog saved the lives OF the
youngsters. When within two miles OF
Pima the young people caught sight OF
the pursuing pack. Maddened by hun
ger. the fierce creatures of the wild
closed upon the children. The leader
OF the pack and the great gray wolf
behind him were attacked by the dog
which followed the buggy in which the
Webb children were driving.
Touched with gratitude. the fourteen
year old Webb boy, the eldest OF the
three, sprang from his buggy and tried
to beat of the wolves with his whip
stock. One of the wolves sprang for
him but the dog caught the throat OF
the wolf. Webb regained the buggy
but the dog was killed. While the
wolves snarled over its carcass the
children escaped to the settlement.

Philippines Need Railroads.

In his annual report, just published.
Secretary of War Taft says: THE
Philippine islands have now IN opera
ton but 12O miles of railway. Their
superficial area is upward of 10000
cuuare miles. Their population is
nearly 100000. The railroad mile
age, when compared with that of the
dependencies of any other country in
the world, is ridiculously small and is
a full explanation for the lack of de-
velopment of the resources of this
archipelago. 1t fully explains the fact
that there are to-day in the islands
twelve different languages spoken by
the 100000 civilized Christian Fill
pinos. and largely explains the Igor
ance and state of pupllaSe in which a
great majority of the people of the is
lands continue.
Charged as this government is with
the duty of elevating and educating
the people of these Islands, there is NO
higher obligation upon it than that of
adopting such legislation as will at
tract to the islands the investment of
large amounts of capital in the con
ruction of steam railroads and other
means OF easy communication"

A scrapbook of Real Value.

To devote scrapbook to one sub
ject makes it much more interesting
and valuable and when you begin to
gather material on any one theme
you will he surprised at the amount
which VI come to hand. Suppose
that you ant to know all about some
famous person. either in the public
eye at present. or some one of past
times From magazines and other
sources can be collected articles, por-
traits, perhaps poems, in relation to
the subject. etc. When matter is
clipped, the scrapbook maker may
copy it neatly with pen into her
book. The educational value of such
a book is something worth while, as
well as the satisfaction of having
gathered oneself so much information
on a single subject.

Denver sportsmen are anxious to see
\ colony OF squirrels established In the
City Park. both for the reason that
they are fine scavengers. and because
they add to the enjoyment OF those
children who make Fairgrounds OF the
park. In many OF the large parks Of
the East the squirrels constitute one
Of the greatest amusements Afforded
the children. The cost of keeping them
Is very small. almost nothing, as they
are wonderful foragers. and. besides,
can subsist off the bits of lunch, pop
corn and other refuse left scattered
about, without considering the food
that will be carried to them by the
children.
The red fox squirrel. native of
Colorado and found in any OF the
mountain parks. has been recon-
mended as the best for the purpose. A
few small houses perched away in the
trees would furnish them with bones
for winter and summer. They remain
out all winter save in the very worst
Of the weather, and would not, there
fore, require any especial winter quar-
ters The little red chipmunk would
make a most pleasant little fellow dur
ing the summer, but his habit is to re-
tire deep into the rocks for the win
ter. there to remain warm and cosy
during all the bad weather. For this
reason he is not thought to be good
squirrel to have in the park. The
sportsmen are considering sending a
petition to the Park Commission ask
ing that a colony of the red fox squir-
rels be established in the park.

While the guest of the President,
Prince Fushima OF Japan visited
Mount Vernon. placed a wreath on the
tomb OF Washington and planted tree
on the old estate of the first President.
The trip there and back was made on
the Presidents yacht, the Sylph. The
prince took luncheon on board on the
return trip. AS he entered and left the
navy yard the marines gave him the
prescribed honors and he was given a
royal salute of twenty-one guns and
200 blue jackets on the Hartford stood
in the rigging.
The wreath placed on the tomb was
of large size and was made of chrys'
anthemums. the national flower OF
Japan. AS four orderlies from the ma
rine barracks placed the wreath be
tween the tombs of George and Martha
Washington the prince and his party
remained outside with heads uncovered
The prince did not enter the tomb.

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children
Because They are Healthy.

Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing Is
true of other articles OF food. What
agrees with one sometimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be so prepared that It
will agree with the weakest stomach.

Grape-Nuts poured in. and such COM
bination contains nourishment to car
ry one a number Of hours, for almost
every particle of 1t will be digested
and taken up by the system and be
made use of.
A lady writes from the land of the
Magnolia and the mocking bird way
down In Alabama and says: Il was
led to drink Postum because coffee
gave me sour stomach and made me
nervous. Again Postum was recon-
mended by two well known physicians
for my children. and feel especially
grateful for the benefit derived.
Milk does not agree with either

plenty of sweet cream. 1t agrees with

pated habit.
For the youngest. aged two and

they enjoy every drop of 1t.
