In the Far East the Japanese have
won victories which have astonished
the world They show themselves to
be more enduring. more resistant to
the effects OF wounds, keener witted,
sharper In tactics. and quicker In exc
cution than their Russian antagonists.
The Jap is content with a simple diet
of rice, peas. or beans. which Is quick
Iy digested and converted into Drawn
and brains, while the Russian must
have his meat and his vodka.
The same dietary, the same simple
ity and naturalness in habits OF life.
which give toughness OF fiber and en-
durance and immunity against infec-
ton, afford equal advantages in Tight
ing the battle of life in any direction.
The brain worker who wants to keep
his mental vision clear and desires
power to pursue his subject with I'M
ceasIng energy, must keep his blood
clean by a pure. simple. natural diet.
The lawyer, the clergyman, the bust

advantages in living in harmony with
natural principles as does the plucky
Japanese soldier, who Is. for the nrst
time, testing his metal by great con-
test with an army Of civilized men.
