spot, they stepped into the arena
with the fighting men.
The barriers of feudalism that made
it impossible for woman of rank to
associate with one of no rank, or to
come into personal contact with the
lower classes, are removed forever.
Even the imperial princesses work
side by side with the wives of army
and navy officers, officials, merchants
and teachers. They are banded to-
gether in common cauSe--Japan in
the hour OF need!
Of course rigid etiquette is OBJ
served in the outward forlnality of
rising and bowling when the imperial
princesses enter and leave the room
on the occasion OF gatherings to do
Red Cross work No conversation is
addressed to them, and they work at
tables with their ladies in waiting,
with whom they chat, as others do
throughout the room, no further re-
striction being imposed.
And this in land where but forty
years ago the eyes of the Mikado's
subjects could not LOOK upon his face
and the imperial court was as secure
ly safeguarded from the outer world
as the sacred confines of Lhasa have
been up to the present time.

There may be better workers than
tho Japanese women, says CORE
spondent. but | have not seen them
and their work during the present
war cannot be measured by any or
binary scale of human values
With characteristic nicely of detail
they set about the work at hand, seek
ing neither praise nor criticism as
they solve their problems. Possibly
they have their petty jealousies like
other women, and their differences to
adjust, but these are not in evidence
and no machine could run so smooth
ly if not well Oiled
Their wisdom and foresight in large
and small matters are as remarkable
as the nations preparedness for war,
and it is the more wonderful when
you consider that many of them have
been reared in luxurious ease and
most of them in close seclusiOn.
A few have gone out into the world
with their husbands since the Restor-
alton; a few more have participated
in official lie at home, but the major
ity knew nothing Of work prior to this
war With an ability that challenges
the admiration of foreigners on the

fearful and vindictive little folks. The
semi-obscurity of the forest doubtless
has resulted in their stunted growth.
Their bodies are covered with an al
most imperceptible down, which
grows on the arms in the same direc-
ton as on the monkeys--that is, it
meets toward the elbows. AS they
always sit with arms clasped round
the neck. the constant rains falling
off the trees might account for this.
From all the information | could
gather during my visit of six weeks in
the Mboga district OF the forests and
from personal intercourse with them
7 should say they are not numerous

from famine and smallpox in recent
years. They do not cultivate, but live
ON hunting spells and plumber. An

tusks arc exchanged with the Baamba
for bananas, who use them for trad
ing. or with the Bahuku. who convert
the small ones into war horns"

. TALK ON ADVERTISING

The sunshine that makes q business


The sunshine that makes q business
plant grow is advertising - x@ & =.
s Growing q business nowadays is
something like growing an apple-tree.
You may select good seed, plant it in
good soil, water and work with it, but
the tree will not produce fruit until
another and most powerful, energiz'
ing and life-giving element is brought
to bear. You must have sunshine and
lots of it. Can you expect to ripen
apples in. the. dark? Can you expect
to grow a profitable business plant
nowadays without the sunshine of pub
lie favor produced by advertising:
This Postum plant is a good illus
tration of that law. It seems but a
short time ago when I put few men
at work in the carriage house Of the
barn you have seen to-day, where we
began making Postum coffee.
The seed then planted, less than 9
years ago, was new kind of apple
seed and it was not altogether certain
how the people would like the apples.
We did our, work thoroughly and
plenty of it. We knew we had good

apple tree of fine quality but how to
develop our work and turn the apple
tree into a productive and profitable
tree was another question.
1t needed sunshine and the kind of
sunshine that is spread by the news
papers and magazines. 1t is an abso-
lutte certainty that without the pub
licity thus given-in other words, the
sunshine-the business never would
have developed.
You have seen to-day factory build
ings-thirteen or fourteen in number
covering many acres of ground, en-
ploying hundreds of workpeople, pro-
ducing food and drink in All aggregate
of four million packages per month,
which goes, to every civilized country
on the globe, and yet the entire enter
prise is less than 9 years old. We
have found it necessary, inasmuch as
the tree has grown and the apples ma
tured by hard work and sunshine, to
continue the work and the sunshine
day in and day out, month in and
month out, the sunshine appropriation
amounting to approximately million
dollars a year for advertising, for ex-
perience teaches that if you mature
the tree under strong sunshine. and
bring it up to a thrifty and healthful
state where it produces profitable up
pies. you can not withdraw that sum
shine else the tree will gradually die.

SOLDIERS WIDOW IN WANT.
Pathetic Appeal for Help Made t
Russian Government.

Palmetto Appeal TOR rep mace 10
Russian Government.
In the face of some of the stories
which are coming from st. Peters,
burg, it is probable that if the car
should issue pension order it would
not be met with fault-6nding vol
ley. A dispatch says that when Rus
sian officer is killed all payments to
his family are stopped. The widow
of lieutenant colonel slain at Lioa-
yang has been obliged to- make an
appeal for bread for herself and sew
en- children. The country that doesn't
look after the widows and orphans
of it's dead heroes holds patriotism
cheap. No country gives support to
the dependent ones commensurate
with the service rendered by the SOL
der who dies in battle, but few coun-
tries are SO lost to gratitude that they
allow the orphans cry for bread to
pass unheeded. It has been limited
that there is a lack of heart on the
part of the cars men in the present
conflict. It. is more than possible that
one reason for the :half-hearte dness in
the fight may be found in this Widows
appeal. Chicago Post. q. Il ss s>.s.s zS@ s.

Although the Batwa Or pygmy tribe
Of central Africa have certain bodily
resemblances to monkeys, the similar
icy does not apply to their brains, ac-
cording to the Rev. A. B. Fisher. who
has spent much time among them.
If we are to look to them physically
for Darwin's missing link. we cannot
DO so psychologically,' he says. LAS
regards mental caliber, l should say
they are much in advance of the
tribes living outside the forest. 1t
may be that, being continually on
their guard against the wild animals
that infest the forest, their minds
have become more alert and active.
Certain it is that they show a quick
ness for learning, and I have noticed
that while seeking to instruct
mixed class representing five differ
ent tribes the pygny will grasp an
idea more readily and correctly than
his competitors.
Constant defense against their
stronger neighbors has made them a
