From CleTTy-BlOSSOm Land.
The Japanese Give Good Example.

TT is a proverb of Cherry Blossom
Land that a healthy stomach is the
Il basis of all strength. Good nature
is also recognized as of great import
ance. The Japanese as a people are re-
nlarkable for their health, endurance,
patience and skill. They have a system
Of physical training which is universally
used. 1t is called the Jiu Jitzu, and by
this they regulate diet, bathing, cloth
ing, breathing, muscular development
and boxing. They have a philosophy
that good hunor is followed by good
health. They try to Danish worries, and
believe that a cheerful view of life is a
good foundation for strength. Such phil
osophy could well &c adopted by our
American people. We are apt to be too
serious.
They have many sayings in Japan
similar to our own. One is that "a
woman is as old as she looks" but a
japanese woman's face is usually as I'M
wrinkled as a baby's. Although the
japanese women do not usually have the
well developed figures of our American
women, vet they do not gather wrinkles
from worry nor suffer as do our Amefi-
can women. What is it that makes our
American women often pale, Sallow-
faced, with dark circles under the eyes,
and very often old at forty-hve when
they should be in their prime? In more
southern climates like Japan the women
live closer to nature-they live simple,
homely lives and do not worry because
they cannot dress as extravagantly as
their neighbors, nor do they have the
ambitions and jealousies of their neigh
bors to contend with. They eat whole
some food and do not practice high
living. To keep young woman must
keep healthy and strong. When she is
run down with the pains and ills which
come periodically among our women
kind, she adds years to her looks,
wrinkles develop, and the woman really
suffers untold agony There is no real
need for this if she will practice right
living, recognize her bodily needs. prac-
tice hygiene all of which knowledge
she can obtain from some reliable med
ical book like DR.. Pierce's Common
Sense Medical Adviser, which can. be
had by sending him thirty-one cents for
the cloth-bound volume, or twenty-one
cents for the paper bound. DIR. R. V.

Farm Work Hindered.

According to United States Sec
ton Director Bate, farm work in
Tennessee was greatly hindered dur
ing the greater portion of the past
week by wet, cold and generally un-
favorable conditions. About the
close, however, the change to sun
shine and warmer weather was i'm
proved by the farmers and work
progressed more satisfactorily. Corn
planting progressed very slowl.' and
there is much of the area yet to be
planted; termination has been very
slow, owing to the cold and wet con-
dition of the soil. Bad stands are
the rule and there will necessarily
be much replanting. Cotton plant
ing is progressing rather slowly
there will be an increase in acreage
this season. Wheat, oats and
meadows are improving and are
looking well. Tobacco plants are
small as a rule and making rather
slow growth. Gardens are very
backward. Reports indicate that
fruit is not all killed; peaches do
not promise much, but apples have
fair prospects. The strawberry crop
will be rather short. The week
closed fair and warm and work is
being pushed forward rapidly.

I ennessee State News
Puzzling the Doctors.

A case is reported from the Ere
donia vicinity of Montgomery
county, which puzzles the medical
men, and is pronounced by experts
to be the most remarkable of its kind
yet on record. Miss Carrie Perdue,
the 19-year-old daughter of Mrs. j.
W. Pardue, widow, had been blind
ever since she was a girl Of 8 or 10
years of age. Some months ago she
was sent by her relatives and friends
to the blind school at Nashville, and
remained there for some time receiy-
ing an education, She had to re-
turn home, however, few weeks
ago, because of her health, and was
confined to her bed with illness.
During her sickness she had one day
violent conyulsion, and the neigh
bors had to be. called on for assist
ance. After regaining consciousness
after this attack the young woman
made remarks about things in the
room and showed unmistakable eyi-
dences Of returning sight. She en-
joyed the privileges of sight for some
weeks, after which time the blind
ness returned and she is now totally
unable to see thing or even distin-
gLish daylight from darkness. 1t is
said that similar case has never
been heard Of. s,..

Iron Ore Near Huntingdon.

"A very fair quality Of iron aore
has been discovered on the old Fitz-
gerald farm four miles northwest of
Huntingdon, and samples of the
mineral have been sent to Pittsburg
for the purpose of having it assayed
and to ascertain whether it can be
converted into pig. The discovery
was made by an old miner named
Jake Everett, from Henry county,
who has been in the vicinity for
some time making his examination
at the request Of the owners OF the
land, and the ore is said to exist on
the place in large quantities.
