A. PERFECT FOOD.

That SCOTS Emulsion
should act SO quickly and
satisfactorily in all cases
of lost flesh and continued
wasting is not surprising
when its food value is un-
derstood. With pure Nor
wegian cod liveroiI, hypo-
phosphites of lime and
soda and glycerine, there
is combined in Scott's
Emulsion the best ele-
ments of nourishment and
strength building known
to medical science. Any
physician will tell you this.
The use of these ingredi-
ents in the proper propor-
tions; the employment of
only the purest grade of
each, and to combine them
perfectly is. the secret of
the success Of SCOTS
Emulsion. You will not
find a more certain way to
stop waste, build flesh and
strength and supply nour-
ishment than through
SCOTS Emulsion.

The bund-the street fronting

trees; it is called the Paris of the
Orient. 1t is here that we see the
wheelbarrow that is used to con-
yey passengers. 1t is rather a
clumsy affair with a platform ex-
tended on each side of the single
wooden wheel. / have seen from
one to five cinnamon sitting on
these clumsy wheelbarrows and the
coolie trotting along pushing his
burden before, him and the perspi-
ration streaming from every pore.

over this precipice the first invad-
ers of the island drove some 1000
of the natives, the leader of the
invaders then proclaimed himself
the first king of the islands. 1t is
said that some of the bones of the
unfortunate natives were to be
found at the bottom of the preci-
pice until a few years ago. The
climate there being the same
throughout the year the yegeta
ton does not have the dark green

such as we have not seen any
where else. Flowers -roses ex-
cepted-a are very beautiful, the hi
discus especially growing to per-
lection, being large and double
and 5 to 8 inches in diameter. We
left Honolulu in the evening
of the day of our arrival, bound
for Yokohama, our next port of
call. We sailed along day after
day through peaceful seas as calm
and tranquil as sea of glass. We
would pace the decks, read and
sleep. If you are ever troubled
with insomnia | would advise you
to take trip across the Pacific
which will induce sleep if nothing
else will. We arrived at
YOKOHAMA
on the morning of the 9th of Aug
ust where we got our first sight of
these queer people on their native
heath. AT the pier we got in
"iinrikishas" and took our first
ride in a vehicle drawn by hui
man horse. 1t was a queer sensa-
ton to see these brawney, duslly,
scantily clad fellows trot off with
pace nearly equaling that of
horse. l am now 50 accustomed
to riding that way for the last
four months that | suppose when
| return to California it will seem
strange to me to drive my own
horse, "Buncombe," again. From
Yokohama we sailed for China,
touching enroute at Kobe, Maya
salli, Shanghai and finally Hong
Kong our destination. At Maya
salli we took "Rikshao ride to
Mogi, which is a beautiful drive
up and down beautiful canyon,
its sides lined with beautiful
bamboo, and every available spot
covered with little rice paddys and
vegetables. If it's true that beau
ty 'unadorned' is adorned the
most" then there surely ought to
be great deal of beauty in Japan,
for, on our ride to Mogi, | saw
more nalledness than | ever beheld
in my life; children on every hand
were entirely naked and men and
women but very little better. You
see this everywhere, both in Japan
and China. The trip down through
the Inland sea, from Kobe to Ma
yasaki was a grand sight, like unto
dream of fairyland. 1t is inter
spersed with hundred and thous-
ands of islands, many small, but
many larger and all clothed in
green from waters edge to sum
NIT and many of them terraced
with rice paddys and vegetables.
AT Nayasalli we were shown a
small rugged island in the harbor

Christians were hurled to their

China, through balmy seas, we ar
rived at
HONG KONG
on the mornig of the 18th of Aug
ust, having sailed 1900 miles over
seas the entire way as smooth as
glass.
Hong Kong is an island II by
3 miles and contains some 100000
inhabitants; 100000 of whom live
in small boats, called sampans.
The foreign portion of the city is
built on the side of the mountain,
the streets, or roads as they call
them. run parallel, one above the
other very much like steps on a
stairway.
The Chinese that live in the
small boats on the water must
surely have severe struggle for q
living. Their boats are about as
large as an ordinary two-horse
wagon-bed and yet families OF
from 6 to live and die in these
small dismal quarters.
The chair is the mode of convey,
ance here the hill sbeing too steep
to admit the use of the "Riksha."
The chair is suspended between
two poles and is carried on the
shoulders of two coolies, one il
front and the other behind. They
are pleasanter to ride in than the
"Riksha," only you can't 90 faster

We visited Canton which is 9
miles up the Canton river. Thi
was our first visit to the rea
heart of a Chinese city. Cantor

tants, is over 1000 years old an,
so dense are the houses and s,
narrow are the streets that the
city does not occupy more spac,

me of the witches of Endor. A

thrice more forbidding than the
miserable abodes of the former

Beyond the burned district we OBJ
served some peculiar freaks of the

ton thereto. 1t will take at least
twenty-five years to rebuild the
city, but the former San Francisco

NO RACE SUICIDE THERE.
New York City's Birth Rate Bounds
~ Upward and Deaths Decrease
New Record Made,

: New York.--New York city, according
10 the report OF the department of
health, is blessed with the lowest death
rate in more than 100 years In the
matter OF births and marriages the re-
port upsets the race suicide theory. 1t
is shown that more persons have been
married and more births recorded
within the last six months than ever
before.
The report covers period from Janu-
airy to June 80, 1905, and shows that the
death rate has diminished from PAPA
per cent to 1928 per cent. per 1000, as
compared with the corresponding period
last year. This calculation is made on
an estimated population of S,s3s,00O
The census returns OF the department
OF health indicate much larger popula-
ton, which will give crude death rate
OF about Is and corrected rate OF a lit
tie over II. the lowest recorded since
1898.
