the cause Of the American Revolution
Inc noble heart of the French aristo-
crat was stirred by the accounts OF
the struggle that the men over the
sea were making against tyranny and
oppression.
His desire to aid them, however.
met with apparently insurmounta BILE

opposed what they considered a mad
impulse. Lafayette found it impossi-
Bile to engage passage upon any out

spired by the obstacles in his path, he
purchased q ship Of his own. The
French government after his de-
rarture sent cruiser to intercept him
at the West Indies; but Lafayette,
foreseeing this possibility, had headed
directly for an American port.
Charleston, where he landed, re-
ceived him with reclamation. Every.

the new country the noble Frenchman

Is YELLOW PERIL" REAL7

Chinese Writer Ridicules Argume emit
Set Forth by AIarmists.
Why is 1t that England and America
do not see the yellow perilT Because
they know that the invasion Of Eu-
rope and America will never come,
says a Chinese writer In the Review
Of Reviews. Because England and
America have 50 shaped their courses
in their Asiatic possessions that the
natives cannot and will not be driven
to think of revolt, much less invasion.
The liberty, freedom, fair play and
privileges granted by England and
America to their colonies insure con-
tentment and stability among the ma
tives. Anyone who compares the con-
dition Of the Straits Settlements and
AMMAN will be Immediately convinced
OF their respective conditions and cor
responding prosperity. The troubles
in German Africa are the outcome OF
cruelty; the fourishing condition OF
the Sandwich Islands is the fruit Of
impartiality. The yellow peril OF the
Mongols under Genghis Kahn IL a
thing of the past-dead six centuries
ago. Asia then suffered far more than
Europe, only the eastern border OF
| which was visited by the ,Tartars.
| Nearly every nation on the Asiadc
mainland was conquered. and the Chi
aese suffered most terribly from their
| Invasion.
The yellow peril" will never come
again. If it comes at all 1t will be
at the time when European civilization
has retrograded and Europeans return
To a condition Of savagery far below
that of their ancestors before the days
OF Caesar. The yellow peril ID only
, possible when the Asiatics are superior
to the Europeans In culture. science,
art and general civilization, just as
the Europeans, superior to the Asiadcs
in these respects, now dominate Asia.
It will come when Europe and Amer
| ,ca. weakened by incessant wars, are
so HELPLESS that not only the Asiatics,
hut. even the Eskimos and Laplanders,
will be able to dictate terms When
tbe Asiatics are able to overrun Eu-
rope and America it will not be the
day of a yellow peril" but the DAY
Of a golden era If that day ever
comes it will mean that the Asiatics
are SO superior that they deserve the
conquest Of the world.

VALUE OF SCIENTIFIC FASTING
Better Than Medicine, but Few People
Can Stand the Strain.

Better Than Medicine, but Few People
Can Stand the Strain.
Jesus is frequently quoted to prove
that fasting is a physical benefit, says
the Kansas City Journal. Jesus fast
ed frequently himself. He taught GER
tain miracles could only be performed
after fasting and prayer; therefore, 1t
Is concluded by those who believe In
fasting that fasting Is good for the
physical body.
This conclusion II not necessarily
correct 1t is well known that Jesus
often sacrificed the good Of his body
for spiritual ends. He was also fire.
quently hungered and overtired.
The mission Of Jesus places the body
necessarily secondary to spiritual ends.
1t 10, therefore, unjust to quote his
physical self-denials as rules for the
upbuilding of the human body.
Whether one fasts or not depends
upon the person. II we were asked
the question, will fasting do me
good?" it would place us in the same
predicament as If some one should
ask US the question, Shall cease
earning money for time and draw
checks to pay my expenses" That all
depends on whether you have money
in the bank A man with large sur
plus in the bank might very profitably
stop earning money for little season
and depend on his bank account for his
support, but If he had no money In the
bank this would be a ruinous expert
ment
Exactly SO with the fasting. II q
man has plenty of reserve vitality, q
fast might be a good thing for him.
But all those people who live active,
mental or physical lives and have a
very narrow margin Of reserve vital
ity had better not fast Their problem
is not to interrupt the nutritive proc
esses, but rather to enlarge them If
possible. There arc lots Of people
who ought to eat more instead Of eat
ing less. Those people who make a
fad Of fasting are just as apt to do
tice and preach gluttony.
There are no hard and fast rules
to apply to this subject. Each individ-
ual case requires special attention.
Every person must decide largely for
himself
If the blood is thick and the body
inclined to overfeshiness, appetite ca
PRECIOUS and there Is a desire for con-
diments and stimulants with the food,
then doubtless, good fast will be
beneficial. Throw the body upon its
own resources. Let the digestive >or-
gans have rest. Allow nature to burn
up some Of the effete and surplus ma
terial already lodged in the body. A
fast for such a person would be better
than medicine.
But q person who has a keen ap-
petite, properly curbed, who eats only
moderate amount Of food, well Sc
lected, who is carrying no more flesh
than he ought to have, is not troubled
with dyspepsia or irregular appetite,
such q person will only unbalance his
bodily powers and derange his physical
forces by attempting to fast.
The best way to fast. after all, is
to fast little with each meal. Stop
eating before the appetite is satisfied.
If you are not hungry at meal time
omit one meal. You will doubtless be
hungry by the next meal, then eat
only about one-half as much as you
want
