stick. II does not seem possible that
writing under such circumstances
could be good, but japanese children
really write very well indeed.

Most of the SpaniardS dislike to fell
trees or cut live timber of any sort,
and this fact perhaps accounts for the
giant trees of California. The Span
iardS two centuries ago pushed their
way through Mexico to California, and.
save the clearing of paths through the
dense forests, not Il tWiS did their axes
chop down. Nor do the SpaniardS
tranSplanted TO the new world ever
destroy timber. They continue to build
their houses of stone and mortar, at
great expense of money and physical
eXertiOn, when timber in abundance
surrounds them, out of which they
could construct log houses, as did other
pioneers, NJ minimum of cost and

There is no menace to vitality and to
the sum and the value of the products
of vital energy so continuously immi-
nent, so inSidious, so effectively active
rs are the invisible wastes of the body.
The dead by the weapons of the world
battIctields are few compared with
those whose lives have been either
blightcd or prematurely ended because
of failure to maintain the body in n
correct relation to the atmospheric
source of abundant energy waiting to
be transformed into vital force and
who have died for want OF proper
breath. He who would live ut his best
must breathe air at its purcst. There
is no material necessity to life greater
than that of pure air. There is nothing

is the habit of Swimming over newspa-
