NUDENESS JARS JAPANESE,
Severe Shock Is Administered to the
Islanders by This Form
of Art.

At the st. Louis fair a Japanese mer-
chant was praising the exhibit Of ia
pan.
I'VE shall undoubtedly get number
OF awards, prizes. medals and d.
plomas," he said. 81 hope that on
none Of these will appear drawings
containing nude figures. We are a
modest people; nude figures shock US.
A number of Japanese manufacturing
concerns that took part in the Colum-
bian exposition received diplomas, suit
able for framing, wherein there were
drawings of nude women. These con-
Germs, with some misgiving. hung their
diplomas in their factories at home.
Hence a great deal Of scandal, and the
diplomas had to come down. There
was one firm, a rice-polishing firm at
Takamatsu, that came near mourning
serious trouble. Its diploma, very
nude indeed, was hung in the hall OF
the factory and the women hands re-
fused to go to work the morning II
appeared. The men, taking the matter
up. refused to work either. The fac
tory, had not the Columbian exposi-
tion's diploma been removed, would
have had to close its doors. In Jap
anese art the nude never appears. The
human figure is always draped. For
eign artists should remember this In

WARNS NOSE WITH CIGAR.
New York Man Holds Fire End Close
to Face and Then Takes
Snuf.

Many and varied are the ways and
means adopted by people these days
as a protection from the cold, but one
Of the oldest schemes is that Of a man
who uses his cigar to warm his nose
While on the street he invariably
smokes a cigar. and at frequent in
tervals he removes il from his month
and holds the lighted end close to his
nose, which happens to be an organ
of uncommon size, says the New York
Times. Some years ago this gentle
man froze his nose, and ever since It
has been extremely susceptible to cold.
Moreover" explained the man, there
is a considerable amount Of heat ra-
dated from the fire end of q cigar,
much more than you would naturally
suppose; yet / admit in extreme cold
weather 1t is not sufficient to keep
my nose comfortable and at such
times l have snuff The resultant
sneezing amply serves the purpose. I"

CALLS SUN A BINARY STAR
Prof. Bigelov Expounds Ideas About
Old Sol and Laws Govern
ing Him.

"The sun should be regarded as an in
cipient binary star" says Prof Bige-
low, in the Weather Review. Recent
scientific work In investigating the cir
culation Of the solar atmosphere in &C
cordance with the laws governing the
connective and radiative action Of q large
mass of matter contracting by its own
gravitation, have led Prof Bigelow to
the hypothesis that ''the single fiery en-
velope conceals two disks." A series OF
observations extending over many
years on the period Of solar rotation at
various points In the surface shows that
the same meridian OF the sun IL seen
twice In Q single rotation Of the entire
mass, first as the eastern limb, and sec
ond, Is days later, as the western limb. {"
Therefore the sun has dumbbell figure

short watches of two hours each on ship

watches were introduced to prevent the

HOW TO AVOID GERM DISEASES
STRENGTHEN THE STOMACH AND DIaEs-

STRENGTHEN THE STOMACH AND DIaEs-
TON, AND You WILL KEEP WELL. =
When there is an epidemic of germ
disease, and most diseases are caused oy
germs, it is the person with weak
stomach who succumbs first.
People with healthy digestion are or
dinariiy not subject to sickness, and can
throw off readily any disease germs that
enter the system.
Strengthen the stomach and digestive
organs with Mi o-na tablet before each
meal, and every atom of food taken into
the stomach will be digested and assimi-
lated, and the whole digestive system
made so healthy, clean and sweet that
there will be no chance for disease germs
to breed.
If you suffer with pains or distress
after eating, headache, belching of gases,
sour food, a bad taste in the mouth, diz-
illness, pains in the heart, specks before
the eyes, and a general feeling of de-
spondency and weakness, you should get
we'll at once by Strengthening the stom-
ach with Mi-o-na. Just one small tablet
out of fifty cent box before eating, and
your digestive system will become SC
strong that you will be the embodiment
of good health and spirits, and need fear
no germ diseases.
