scheme, ana the result is that both
conferences will now join hands I'M.

We have all heard of the rlckshaW

occasional cup of tea; and there are
many well authenticated cases OF run
ners going over so miles a day, push
ing a laden cart up and down steep
inclines, their only food and drink flce

eral, travellers are rarely enthusiastic
and it would seem to need a sturdy con-
stitution to keep up on 1t. Ruadlmah
Johnston, writing in the Pail Mall
says the food provides for the Euro
pean distension without Satisfaction,
but bears witness that the Japs seem
we'll nourished thereby. Inc writer
goes on to say that the japanese can
also live quite we'll on Korean or Chi

travel in these countries at minimum
of trouble and expense.

MIGHT HAVE SAVED 1T.
A Lot of Trouble from Too Much
Starchy Food.

A little boy of eight years whose
parents did not feed him on the right
kind of food, was always nervous and
suffered from weak condition of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and after
the operation the doctor, knowing that
his Intestinal digestion was very weak,
put him on Grape-Nuts twice a day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his Father states,
''He has grown to be strong, muscular,
and sleeps soundly, weighs 62 pounds,
and his whole system is in a fine
condition of health" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
1t is plain that il he had been put on
Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in his
life, and kept from the use of foods
that he could not digest, he never
would have had appendicitis. That
disease is caused by undigested food
decaying in the stomach and bowels,
causing irritation and making for the
growth Of all kinds of microbes, set
ting up diseased condition which is
the active cause of appendicitis, and
this is more marked with people who
do not properly digest white bread.
Grapefruit is made of the selected
parts of wheat and barley and by the
peculiar processes Of the cooking at the
factory, all of tie starch is turned into
sugar ready for immediate digestion
and the more perfect nourishment of
all parts of the body, particularly the
brain and nerve centres.

m A ME HEAR repeatedly the
MIAMI phrase little Japan, but the
AEM country has a larger area
WNSNy than that possessed by the
WWa British Isles, and greater
population. The city OF
TOXIC itself covers a hundred square
miles. The people, however, are small
in stature; a little people of great
est interest.
Japanese folk of high or low degree,
Japanese life whether town or rural,
Japanese customs, traits, Characters
tics, all possess a unique degree for
the Anglo-Saxon, whether he be
student or but a superficial observer.
They are gentle appearing, these
valiant battlers; one associates them
with peace and leisure, pretty arts
and crafts, Eoetry and love of the
beautiful in all forms. And justly are
they thus associated, for the sojourner
in Japan seldom experiences sight of
violence of any sort. Children are
dealt with softly, no blows, no scold-
lag; business and society move on
smoothly, undisturbed by brawling.
One that has spent many years in the
land writes thus of the Jap at home:
eff one can imagine a being that is in
everything the opposite of rowdy.
such might be Japanese, for by far
the most common characteristic of
both men and women is their extreme
gentleness, and no nation has so COM
pletely mastered the soft answer that
turneth away wrath than that of JAP
