Japanese FIGHTERS Eat Meat.

The Jap is able to digest rice and
similar foods much better than a
white man because he possesses an
intestine One-ffth longer. Such at
all events is the statement of DR..
B. Schedule of the Kioto Medical
school, says the Saturday Evening
Post.
1t is a fact, however, that the
fighting men Of Japan are meat eat
ers, though the population Of the
countryat large is vegetarian main
ly. Even in time Of peace beef is
supplied to the soldiers, and that is
one reason why. foreigners find it
convenient to reside in the neigh
borhood Of garrison towns, because
the butcher is handy. At the same
time the people of Nippon can un-
der no circumstances be persuaded
to touch mutton, which they look
upon with horror.

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daug liter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they SO often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start the menstrual
period in a young girls life without
pain or irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at
Lynn, Mass.
Miss Mills has written the two fol-
lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which
will be read with interest:

A Comprehensive Answer.

Diner-How comes this dead fly
in my soup?
Waiter-In fact, sir, I have no
positive idea how the poor thing
came by its death. Perhaps it had
not taken any food for a long time,
dashed upon the soup, ate too much
of it and contracted an infamma-
ton of the stomach that brought on
death. The fly must have had a
weak constitution, for when I served
up the soup it was dancing merrily
on the surface. Perhaps-and the
idea presents itself only at this mo-
ment- it endeavored to swallow too
large piece of vegetable. This, re-
naming fast in the throat, caused a
choking in the windpipe. These are
the only reasons [ can give for the
death of that insect

THE BEEBE PLAIN POST.OFfICE.

The following taken from the Bos-
ton Sunday Globe will be of interest
to our readers:
Drop a letter addressed to Beebe
Pain, Que, into the post-ctfice at
Beebe Plain, VT, and it will travei
distance of 294 miles, of which 81 are In
Canada and the remainder in the
United States, before it reaches It's
destination The actual distance be-
tween the two Offices is less than II
feet.
The plain old fashioned stone build
ing, which is situated on the interna-
tional boundary line, contains both
the United States and Canadian
Offices. There are separate entrances
to each, but both are in the same
room, have the same lobby and there
are no partitions TO mark the division
between the domain of Uncle Sam
and the possession of King Edward.
The postmaster on the American
eide is C. NJ. Bay ley, while G. House
has charge of the Canadian mails.
But these personalities are conspicu-
Gus by their absence. ]. M. Grow is
the actual charge d'affaires.
Mr.. Grow occupies a unique posi-
ton, and is perhaps the only man who
is an official of both countries. He is
the regularly appointed assistant
postmaster of Beebe Plain, VT, and
has taken an equally ironclad oath to
perform the duties of deputy post
master in Canada. Thus he is left to
himself the greater part of the time,
and performs the dual duties with
satisfaction to both the Americans
and their neighbors, the Canadians.
Mr.. Grow: "There is not another
place like this in the world-two
countries having offices in the same
room, with two entirely different sys-
TENS Ct money orders, blanks and
methods of transactipg business, and
yet one man doing the work"
''Is it true that letter travels
long distance to go from one window
to the other?n he was asked.
ayes, sir, that is one OF the strangest
things in connection with this office

side, it goes from here to the junction

a sergeant. After being brought up
in the military orphanage OF that
town. she became a cook in some

she was led away by enthusiasm TO
quit her town secretly; by selling her
poor belongings she procured male
attire and weapons. and enlisted under
the name of August REM in the
