included in the curriculum of any 9TH
err medical school: The Duties Of a
Health Officer The subject is taught
in very business-like fashion. A class
sufficiently instructed may be in
formed that a certain Minnesota
town has reported the presence Of so
many cases of smallpox. Each stu
dent must then ascertain the popula-
ton of the town and decide whether,
If he were health officer, he would de-
clare the disease epidemic. He must
also specify what measures he would
take to care for the SICK to enforce
quarantine within the town, and to
guard against further infection from
other communities. Or, the class is
told that some town reports typhoid
fever caused by an impure water sup
ply. Thereupon the student must
study the whole question Of the water
supply in that town and must suggest
the most practical means for restrict
ing and graduating the prevalent
fever.

TAPAN'S CIVILIZATION
OUTSKIRTS RUSSIA'S

In letter to the New York Sun,
Walter J.. Ballard of Schenectady,
N. Y, congresses some remarka bly,
interesting information regarding
Japan and Russia. He says:
Japan, with her 47,O0O,0o0 popula-
ton, has 4,302,625 pupils in her ele-
Ementary schools, or 81 in every 1000;
lation, has only 4,193,594, or 80 in
every 1000. Similar disproportion in
favor of Japan applies to secondary
schools and universities.
Japan has 4,S52 postoffices, equal to
1 postoffice for each $500 people;
21,500 people.
Japan bought of us last year s21,-
100000 worth of goods, while Russia
was our customer for only $17,0o0,000.
Japan has commercial marine of
1874 Alb tons, against Russia's 633,822
tons. That is, 100,591 tons more for
100000 less people.
Japan has about the same area as
Montana, with more than half as
many people as there are in the whole
United States.
Japan raises sufficient agricul-
tural products to feed her own people
and leave a god quantity for export.

Japan has gold, silver, copper,
lead, tin and mercury in abundance,
besides coal and iron. =.
Japan has every kind Of nanufac-
turing-cotton goods, telescopes,
microscopes, watches, knives, spoons,
electric machinery, matches, clocks,
wooden goods and a host of other
lines. In 1870 manufacturing in
Japan was almost nil: now she has
over 5000 factories Of various kinds.
Japan has railroads gridironing
the empire, electric light plants in
nearly all the cities, and telegraph
lines all over the country.
Japan did not have a single battle
ship In 1895, while now she has six of
the first class and many war vessels of
inferior classes.

Bijou-"The Sign of the Four"


Commencing tomorrow afternoon
and continuing thruout the week, with
the regular Wednesday and Saturday
matinees, the Bijou will present 1.-THE
Sign of the Four" a dramatization Of
Sir A. Conan Doyle's famous detective
story.
The center of interest, Of course, is
Sherlock Holmes, around whom the
play revolves. This role is assumed
this great play as a vehicle to intro
duce himself to theater-goers as a
star. -r..
The character Of Sherlock Holmes
and his many adventures is familiar
wherever the English language is
spoken; and Of all the exploits of the
great detective, none are quite so fas-
cinating as those regarding the Agra
treasure. The Sign of the Four"
naturally lends itself to the require
ments Of the stage, being replete with
exciting situations, and an array of
strongly drawn characters capable of
effective PRESERVATION at the hands of
skilled actors.
The dramatist has taken the plot
of Doyle and interviewer with 1t a
romance, which adds greatly to the
charm of the story.
An evidence of the care taken in
the selection Of the cast may be
judged by the fact that the services
of Frank Tucker were enlisted to play
the part Of Jonathan Small, charac-
ter which Doyle describes as wearing
a peg-leg. Mr.. Tucker has been on
the stage since his youth, but few
years ago he met with. an accident
which necessitated the amputation Of
his leg, SO he is able to play the part
and make it up with a peg, as Doyle
intended he should. The familiar
figure of DR.. Watson, Holmes con-
fdant and friend, plays an important
part in ''The Sign of the Four" The
readers of the story will remember
