Long ago the Chinese aud japanese
discovered the value OF the meat as

Is, however, small. and the hshlng

heavily drawn upon that they became

by an imperial edict from taking them.

SAVED BY DOG.
Faithful Animal Arouses Mistress in
Time to Escape Flames.

Old Orchard, Me, March 25-Thc bark
ing of q shepherd dog at midnight last
night aroused Mrs. James f. Chandler,
who was alone in Il big two-story farm
house at NIillikens Mills, and she dis
covered that the entire end of the struc-

put on few clothes when she WIS driven
from the building by the fire. which
swept from one end of the farm house 80
the other with remarkable Quickncss. The
buildings were among the oldest i'll this
section.
Policeman Fowler of Old Orchard. who
went there this morning. was Of tn"
opinion that the fire had been caused by
a defective chimney.
Some time ago Mr.. Chandler, who WAS
not a. home last night had IL young man
arrested for shooting at this watch dog,
but the matter was dropped
Mr.. Chandler, who is q lecturer and as
tronomer. and well known throughout the
State. recently decided to live in Port

The buildings. which were situated 1t

town. on the road to DInston. consisted
nf :; two-story house. H. long shed and
barn. The entire set of buildings and
much Of the contents were burned. There
is no fire apparatus nearer than Old Or

The ncighhors who gathered could only
| stand by and sec the buildings burn. The
| night was one Of tic coolest of the win
ter, the mercury registering 70 below zero

considerably from the cold before she
reached a ncighbors house. some dis

The loss is estimated at 5000, partly

This action at New York and BrookIyn
IS in line with the efforts previously made
by Postmaster General CorteIyou IN Bos-
ton and Philadelphia to enforce the law
against this class of criminal concerns.
In Boston last March 81 of these concerns
were barred from the mails and the gov
ornmcnts crusade i'll Philadelphia last
September resulted in closing several of
the establishments. A statement given
out at the postoffice department today
says:
THE condition of affairs which has de-

cations in all Of these cities has been an
palling. It was found that in 4 large
number of instances those engaged in
conducting these offices have criminal

LIBERAL AID
Has Eased the Famine
Situation in Japan
But Thousands Are Still on the
Verge Of Starvation.
Another Appeal for Aid Sent 0ut-'-
American Contributions Large.

Tokio. March 25.-The misery and
suffering i'm the famine region has been
s,iob,lv relieved by the prompt and
liberal aid from foreign sources ana py
,hc abatement Of the rigors Of winter.
The local authorities are trying to pro-
vide work for the ;ible-bodicd, but the
extent of the work is inadequate and
thousands are still on the verge OF
starvation.
Many parents arc parting with their
children. sending them To the already
crowded Okayama orphanage.
The severity Of the suffering UNDER
gone by the children is clearly depicted
in the faces of those who are compelled
to part from their homes. where the
food consists of flour mixed with straw
and weeds. The mixture is beaten fine
forming Il pastry which contains only
25 per cent. actual food value.
The government has RENTED the
lowest tax in the famine district, but
this will not afford immediate relief
The liberal contributions frcm Ameri-
can Synipathize are already effective
and the relief in the form of food and
clothing is commanding the heartiest
appreciation.
Another appeal for aid is presented
by the sufferers from the recent earth
quake i'll South FormoSa, thousands OF
whom are homeless.

| ing fcud. caring for the injured and rc-
covering and removing corrscs, severa
