GAVE POWER TO DOCTORS.
Accounting for Success of japanese
Military Medical Methods.

Military MEDICAL MetnooS.
Shunzo Takald, son of Baron Kan
hila Takaki, one of the chief medical
officers of the Japanese navy, is re-
ported by the Kansas City Times to
have said:
The extraordinary success of Japan
ese surgeons in the military and naval
branch of the service in saving lives
of wounded prisoners and guarding
against both epidemic uisease and
fevers has been in no way due to any
secret knowledge possessed by the
physicians. The surgeons of the
American service could have doue
the same thing under the same con-
ditions The Japanese administra-
ton broke away from any traditions
by giving the medical department
more power than such officers had
possessed hitherto. The army in the
field never camped until the site Sc
lected had been approved by the med
icai officers. The soldiers never
crank water until 1t was either boiled
or the stream or spring marked by
the medical department fit for drink.
ing, The food supplied 10 the sol
diers was described by the medicaI
ceparn ent and the time of feeding
was also under the control of that
branch. Japan recognized, in fact,
that battles are won by healthy men
as well as modern weapons. And we
think that it is cheaper to save the
life Of a wounded soldier who has
been trained and who has seen acuve
service than it is 10 take a raw re-
cruit and make of him as good SOL
der.
we think that the worst thing you
can do with a wounded soldier is to
let him die But your own medical
officers can do as well when you rec
ognize the surgeon as an integral
part OF your war department, and not
an adjunct to toll On behind the army
and only go forward when there are
dying men to help. In principle our
medical department marches in front
of the arr'y and yours marches behind.
When people think OF the japanese
they always think Office; but you

Now We eat rice as you eat corn. It
Is one of our staples, that's all Some
years ago my father investigated the
'beriberi' disease, a sort Of dropsicaI
scuryy that our sailors were suffering
from, and he discovered that undue
| consumption OF rice was one Of the
principal causes of the trouble. He
at once ordered the reduction OF the
rice supply. It's place was taken by
other food. And that reminds me Of
an illustration that will show the diff
| ference between our naval medical
department and yours. There has
been some complaint recently about
| the food supplied TO the sailors in the
American navy. You sent a sailor,
Admiral Rob Evans, to report upon
! the matter. We would have sent a
committee OF physicians skilled in
d!etetcs

That's on your face.
Science, or pseudo science, of moles
has existed among the Pennsylvania
Dutch for many years.
According to this science, no one is
without a mole or two, and these are
some of the representations that
mole-wearers may draw from 'their
brown ornaments:
A mole on the right side of a mans
forehead denotes wonderful luck; on
the right side Of womans forehead
gifts from the dead.
On the left side of a mans forehead
a mole denotes long term in prison;
on the left side Of a woman's forehead

A man with a mole in the middle

woman with such a mole is foolish.

A man with a mole on the left side

a mole promises great good fortune

Nations Unknown to the World.

The idea that in remote parts of the
tropics, amidst the dark-skinned races,
there exist mysterious isolated white
tribes bearing a strong resemblance
to Europeans has long possessed a
curious fascination for the Old World.
The early adventures in Central and
Southern America brought home many
tales Of extraordinary cities beyond
the mountains, and vague stories
afloat in South Africa 30 or 40 years
ago furnished Mr.. Rider Haggard with
theme for one of his best-knOwn
novels. Yet so strong a hold has the
idea gained, that even at the begin
ming Of the twentieth century the
possibility Of the existence Of a gen
uine white race is not altogether
scofged at. It Is less than four years
ago that an American officer engaged
in operation against the Moros in the
Philippines collected apparently suo-
stantial evidence relating to a mys'
terjous white tribe in the Island Of
Nindano. The officer was so i'm
pressed that he determined to con
duct an exploring party across the
center Of the island. But apparently
the mysterious white folk had VIZ
iqhed, for the world up 10 the present
time has heard nothing Of his s"arch
being crowned with success.

That proposition is self-eyldent,

two men at a horserace.
The race was crowded, and one OF

nothing. The tall one had to look on

HOW ABOUT YOUR HANDS?
If They Need Attention Here are a
Few Rules.

Few Rules.
It Is a mistake to undervalue the
appearance of the hands. If nature
has been cruel and has denied us the
possession of small white hands with
perfectly formed fingers and almond
shaped nails, care and uDfailing per
severance can still do much to COM
pensate us for the natural depriva-
ton.
Frequent washing will not rorghen
nor coarsen the skin if the water is
soft and care is taken aftsrward to
dry the hands thoroughly. The soap
should be of the finest quality;
cheap make is a ruinous investment.
The water must be warm, but not too
hot Make a good lather, rub the
hands well, rinse them several times,
and when perfectly free from soap
dry them thoroughly with a very soft
demask towel Then rub an emollient
into the pores, and dust with a little
fine oatmeal powder.
If the hardness of the water is due
to the presence of carbonates of lime
or magnesia, it may be softened by
the addition of lime water, and ii
sulphates of lime or magnesia are
the cause, soda in some form should
he stirred into the water IN which
the hands are washed. A teaspoon
full of borax or oatmeal powder is gen
orally successful in softening the
water, and if a few drops of benzoin
are added to the latter still better
result will be obtained.
Rub the hands at night with some
good cream or skin food. 10 not wear
gloves which are a size too small, or
which are tight at the wrists. Red
hands can usually be avoided by at
tending to the health. A poor circu-
lation is a frequent cause of this an
noyauce, and moderate amount OF
exercise, wooden underwear, and
avoidance of tight clothing or tight
boots and shoes will obviate this
taouble
Gloves must always be worn when
lGusting, gardening. enameling or do
ing any household work.
Once a week the following treat
ment should he rigo. 0usly carried out
if the hands are to remain white and
soft and the nails in perfect condition,
whatever the weather may be: First,
wash the hands IN warm water, and
soak the firger-tips especially until
the nails have become quite soft and
supple. Use a small brush in clean
ing the nails. If this is necessary,
but never scrape them with a pointed
instrument, as this only creates a
space where the dirt may In all
probability collect again
with sharp pair Of curved scis
sors-not a knife-cut the nails
smoothly. The shape should be reg

back the cuticle at the base Of the
nail with a bone or ivory trimmer. II

the nail is soft, any loose pieces be

silk or even cambria makes a good
nail polisher. Before applying polish

the nails first with a slice of lemon.
