QUICK REMEDIES FOR cRAMP.
Not Hard to Get Relief From This
Painful AffIiction.

Do your little growing folks wake
up in the night with cramp in their
toes or legs? If so, tell them to slide
down to the foot of the bed and press
their toes hard against the footboard.
This seldom fails to bring relief. Even
the tiniest tot can do this for herself
when she wakes up in alarm at the
big pain in her leg.
Should this fail, and sometimes
when the cramp is up by the knee, it
is not efficient, tell the sufferer to
press the sole of her cramped foot
against the instep of the other. Press
good and hard, and the pressure, to-
gether with the warmth and electric
Wy drawn from the well foot, will GER
tainly bring relief unless the case is
very stubborn. To treat the "knot-
ty," stubborn kind of cramp, which
sometimes seizes the little folks when
they are nervous, or if they have
eaten something which does not agree
with them, to tie a broad band fla
theirs handkerchief, folded, will an
swer,) tightly above the cramped part.
Rubbing, unless one knows just how
to manipulate the muscle, often does
more harm than good. The doctors
tell us that cramp of this kind is as
much a nervous as a muscular trouble.
If your children suffer frequently
with it, a good warm bath with an
alcohol rub at night is a good pre-
ventive. B. N.

Taiku, Korea.-Picturesque placid
and pitiable, whiterobed but not an
gelic, Korea stands at the cross roads
Of the orient, personification Of the
tar eastern question. Religiously con-
Bidered, the situation here is doubt
less the most interesting in the world.
Certainly this is the most promising
and successful missionary field now
before the eye of Christendom.
The contrast between Korea and
japan in this latter respect is marked.
Across the strait, the missionaries are
all concerned over the independence
movement in the native church, and
fearful lest they should do or say
something to offend the sensitive JAP
anese pride. Here, the missionary has
none of these problems; his one con-
Germ is how to visit all the localities
that are calling for him, and how to
find time to instruct all the cate
chumens awaiting him, and to receive
into the church the men and women
ready for membership, since some
churches can be visited only every
three months or half yearly. In a
word, here are missionary conditions
more nearly ideal, and more nearly
what the Christians in America think
foreign missions to be, than in the
more famous country of Japan.
Wiping Nation Off the Earth.
If ever a country needed the con-
solutions of religion. it is poor Korea.
AS consequence, chiefly, of her own
incapacity and official corruption, she

tematically effacing all the manifesto

Fusan and it was the first fully equip
ped modern hospital ever established
in Korea. 1t was started 13 years ago
by DR.. Charles H. Irwin, of Ohio, who
has ever since been the only physician
in the hospital, and the only European
doctor in Fusan.
The building would be counted small
as hospitals go In the West, but it has
half a dozen wards, with two, three
or four beds each, an operating room,
a convalescents' room and a dispen-
sary, with waiting rooms for men and
women, the sexes being separated in
Korea. The only assistants are Ko-
reans whom DR.. Irwin himself has
trained. When visited the hospital

like service for the girls and women
who visit the dispensary. In the con-
valescents' room saw a young man
who, afflicted with cataract of both
eyes, had literally crawled over the
mountainous part of a 2OO-mile Jour-
ney. walking the rest of the way, and

SO much as to issue a pass to his own
old unused palace, except as he OBJ
tains permission to do so from a Japa-
sese functionary. Her laws are now
made and administered by Japanese.
Her government institutions are all
managed by the latter. Even the SEM
blance of self-government is being
wrested from her feeble hand; while
robbery, abuse, oppression, injustice
and even murder are the lot of her
common people.
Into these intensely interesting and
significant questions it is not the pur-
pose of this article to enter. To. indi-
cate them, however, is essential, if
conditions here are to be understood.
For in their helplessness and misery,
the people are turning to the Ameri-
can missionaries as their only friends
and advisers. The king himself leans
more heavily upon the protection and
counsel of certain of the older Amer
lean missionaries than upon the most
trusted of Korean patriots. On one
occasion, when a great plot was in
process of execution, including an at
tack upon the palace, the king sought
for the presence and help of three
American missionaries, and while a
mob of thousands howled outside the
palace walls and soldiers surrounded
the imperial quarters, his majesty
clung-literally and physically chung
for protection to these three Ameri-
cans.
The Missionary and Politics.
Like ruler, like people. 1 was in
specting this city-or mud village of
$4,000 people, as you may choose to
,all it-with young American mis-
sionary, when an old man came to
him for counsel and help, his aged
wife having been brutally attacked by
Japanese. The poor missionary is in
straits. He will not NEEDLE in poll
tics. Whatever his sympathies, he
dare not take sides on such questions,
and so he IL forever Tending of the

the part of missionaries in the pursuit
of their difficult role, that fill me with
admiration. After hearing of the ar
rogance and excuses committed by
the Japanese immigrants upon white
foreigners, as well as upon Koreans,
| asked muscular big missionary,
who looks as if he could administer
the law, as well as the gospel, how he
managed to get along. For the sake
of my work, I just give in. When a
Japanese coolie bumps into me on the
street and tries to knock me down, 1
simply say, Excuse me- and step
aside. A gentleman and his wife came

rickishas from the station. The fee

. The Doctors Opportunity.
One phase of missions about which
there are no two opinions is the medi-
cal work. Immediately upon landing
in Korea from Japan l came in touch
with this for the first time, because
the Japanese have their own medical
science, and there is practically no
medical mission work, in thu usual,
sense, in that country. On the hill

Dor, he sees flying a Red Cross flag,

Augusta, Ca, May 1S.-Henry
Chapman, after making an attempt
to take the life of his young daugh-

evening, made two nearly successful
efforts to kill himself in the police

The FIRST attempt was made shortly
after he was locked up. He took the
leather belt which held up his trous-

was cut down just in time, and the
leather belt was taken away.
Less than an hour from that time
the jaller passed down the corridor
and found Chapman gasping as he
slowly twisted a heavy cotton hand
kerchlef about his neck. The fixed
stare of death was already forming
in his bloodshot eyes.
