Japanese Use Of Water.
From the British Medical Journal.

The Japanese themselves attribute their
high average of physical strength to a
plain frugal diet and the system of GYM
nastics called jiu-jitsu, which includes q
knowledge of anatomy and of the external
and internal uses of water Although dur
ing the period of their ascendancy the
Samurai kept the secret that their great
physical superiority was due in a great
measure to the internal and external use
of water, the belief that IL used liberalIy

most unknown in Japan; 1t is probable
that the absence of meat from the diet,
combined with the use of plenty of water,
accounts for this immunity

And now we come TOT the sempiternal
subject of the evening jacket I never fan
cied this interloping garment. for it is
neither more nor less than glori1ed smok-
ing jacket. The swallowtail is the only
coat fit to wear into the drawing room af-
ter shutdown at any function tinged with
formality and honored by the presence Of
women. But preserving the dress proprie-
ties during the blistering days and sultry
nights of midsummer is like trying to
stem mighty tide: the very man who
holds out infiexibly against the evening
jacket in winter is among the first to slip
1t on in summer and MOSTLY waves you
away when you undertake to reason with
him. So what is there to do but remain
dumb? Let us face the problem and can
didly admit that the comfort of the evening
jacket is too genuine to be questioned, and
that, In the absence of a garment to fill its
place, 1t Is here to stay. When men that
you know better, appear in the jacket and
you stand apart In stately and swallow
tailed aloofness the boy and the burning
deck episode comes comicaliy to mind /
expect to see the jacket as generally worn
as usual next summer, and with it pearl
waistcoat, wing or fold collar and a
broad black tie with decided flare at the
ends. The talk of introducing colored even
ing Jackets may be put down as gossip.

The Natural Group.

Fred Lisky and George Otterson, who
have been running a tunnel upon the
Natural No. /, have encountered the
ledge which shows width of six feet
and carries good values. This group
consists of three claims through which
the ledge is traceable the entire dis
'tance and shows good values at every
point exposed. The eli aims are the
Natural Nos. and and Last Chance,
and are supposed to be the northeast
extension of the Blue Ribbon. The ore
is similar in character to that of other
high grade properties in that section of
the camp, brown cube iron (oxidized
sulphide) which pans nicely. The tun-
mel will be driven along the course of
the ledge, which will be crosscut at in
tervals. Those gentlemen are reaping
the usual reward of stayers in this dis
trict.

with depth. 1t is our intention to run
tunnel on one of our properties as
soon as spring opens up to cut the ledge
at a depth of seventy five or eighty
feet. We have some very good tunnel
sites, water power and plenty of timber
for development work, on our own

A Letter From
Forester PinchOt

In letter to Senator Dubois relative
to the proposed elimination of the min
ing districts of Idaho county from the
Bitter Root forest reserve, Clifford
Pinchot, chief of the bureau of fores-
try, says:
81 am in receipt of your letter of
March 8, and in compliance with your
request am very glad indeed to enclose
with this letter map showing the
boundaries of the Bitter Root forest
reserve. The affidavit of Mr.. ]. A..
Whitaker has been carefully considered.
His objections to the restrictions placed
upon residents of Elk City and the inn
mediate vicinity are well taken, as l
have stated in my former letters to
you. There is probably certain area
in this locality which should be elimi-
mated from the reserve, but until the
field season opens it is impossible to
make definite recommendations. The
remedy for the whole situation, how
ever, lies in Thorough revision of the
rules and regulations, with view to de-
Gliding local questions on local grounds.
The chance of success in this direction
depends largely upon the transfer of
the administration of forest reserves to

Der, for prospectors are allowed free

go. Establishment of fire protec-
tion. |
"3. Preservation of resources for
local use.
"a. Regulation, as far as practical
BILE, of grazing and timber cutting so as
to prevent waste and utilize the full
production of forest and range. f'
"5. Protection of young growth so
as to insure future supply.
Prospecting and locating of mining
claims are in no way interfered with by
reserve. regulation, for mining laws ap-
ply exactly as on the public domain.
Settlers and others are allowed free all
the timber they use. RESERVOIRS, roads,
stores, and similar enterprises are per-
mitted upon application. Grazing by
sheep and cattle is permitted with only
such restrictions as prove necessary to
preserve the range and protect settlers
or others having rights of priority and
equity, from outside competition
"While it is true that many of the
earlier reserves were established with
out investigation sufficient to prevent
the inclusion of some agricultural land,
this is impossible under the present
system. Now the land is carefully ex-
amined and mapped and the lines are
drawn to exclude all considerable areas
susceptible of settlement. Small agri-
cultural areas are provided for in the
legislation just recommended by the
public land commission. This system
removes one of the strongest arguments
which has been made against reserves.
A no less welcome change will be the
proposed new policy Of reducing control
from Washington to minimum and
placing more authority in the hands of
local officers who are familiar with
their state conditions, and thus be free
to conduct the business promptly and
acceptably to the people, unhampered
by red tape, unnecessary restrictions
and delay. To accomplish this end a
bill has been introduced in congress to
transfer the reserve management to the
bureau of forestry in the department Of
agriculture, and its passage will result
in an immediate revision of the many
cumbersome and restricting regulations
which has caused dissatisfaction. These
two changes will remove practically all
objections which are now urged against
forest reserves. In short, the obieet-of
the government is. not to blot these
areas off the map, but to protect them
so the people can get more from them
than they do now"

! SUMMER VEGETABLE DIET.

7 < E , < lh9 x (
 The advocates of fruit and vegetable diet have had 1t all their own way this glorious weather. It is not ne cessary for illustrious people, like the German emperor and the king of Italy, to show us an example to refrain from meat and indulge chiefly in fruit. We have all felt the need, but the average British housewife blindly continues on her way. She ignores fruit and vege- tables as expensive, is not sure fish is wholesome, and believes that light diet tends to weakness. In all truly British hotels the only green food set before one is a dripping lettuce, few radishes and raw cucumber, which eaten with a heavy meal of cold meat very likely causes indigestion. We'll made salads run entirely beyond the average conception, yet such variety may be attained as would suffice the most critical diner. The Americans, with their iced water and their numer- ous vegetables, introduced the fruit salad, and have given us any quantity of other palatable dishes. Salads have appeared made of apples and celery, fruit and watercreSs, fish and yege- tables. Cold curry of vegetables, too, is very nice, and if only one could per suade English people that the taste for green food in summer Is as human and wholesome as it is natural to animals, much Improvement in health and much variety of diet might result Philadelphia Inquirer.

Children Held in Bondage.

Vancouver, B. CA blue-eyed baby, less than IA months old, and the child of people now supposed to be in Van couver, has just been carried north by Alert Bay Indians, according to Provin- cial Constable Walacott, who is deter mined that it shall not stay among the red men.
 Local police think the child was given the Indians by parents who wanted to get rid of it.
 It Is asserted that the Northern Brit ish Columbia Indians are holding half dozen white children. The attention of the provincial government was drawn to the subject some time ago, and it communicated with the Children's Aid society, which isrdoing it's best to find out the truth of the report If white children are being held by the red men on any pretext, the association will try to recover them.
