Oriental
Mineral Waters
Pleasant to the Taste and Pos
sessed Of Great Medi-
cinal Value.

Washington, Sept. 8. - In
the West mineral waters are
used chiefly for the pleasure
they give in uuenching thirst,
and, incidentally, for any me-
dicinal virtue they may pos
sess. In the Far East the op-
posite rule prevails.
The first requirement Of a
mineral water in the Orient is
that it be beneficial to the
drinker, and, second, that it
be pleasant to the palate.
Americans and English in the
Orient use japanese mineral
water on account of its SPAR
kle, purity and delightful
taste. The japanese take it
for its invigorating quality,
and the japanese women for
its remarkable power of puri-
flying the complexion.
All physicians are familiar
with the fact that natural
mineral waters containing mi
mute quantities of iron, taken
judiciously, exert a beneficent
effect upon the human skin,
clarifying the cuticle from a
yellowish or sallow tinge, and
restoring the complexion to a
delicate pink, which indicates
wholesome health.
japanese women discovered
this virtue ages ago in several
of the mineral springs of their
beautiful land, and especially
in the wonderful water from
the TANSAN MINERAL

favorite beverage for at least
30 years,

To this wholesome water,
as much as to their habit OF
regular bathing, is due the
clear complexion of the Japan
csc women, which is acknowl-
edged to sbe the best in the
world. Their practice is to
use two quarts Of it a day,
drinking about a pint on ris-
ing in the morning, and using
it frequently to assuage thirst
between meals. Those who
have bad compilations increase
the amount to three and even
four quarts q day, while, on
the other hand, those who
have cherry-blossom faces re.
duce the quantity to one
quart per day.

"Pereo'' means to die, and 1t gets this secondary meaning from the primary one, to go through-'per" and 'eo.' Compare the noun spericulum, which has the same root idea. Our English perish Is ot the same family. The first. time l ever heard the expression "go up'' for .aie" it was used by fiatboatman of the Mis- sisslppi.

It all points to the conclusion that the popular voice testlfies instinctively to the exist ence of an innate idea of immortality. This voice seems to say, in various forms. but with one feeling: "When we die, we do not utterly pass out of existence; We go into some other place or state.'

The Romulus and-Remus ae- count of the founding of Rome, together with a great deal more that we used to learn with so much enthusiasm about the heroic age of early Rome has been swept away by the profound and iconoclastic criticism of Niebuhr and as scholarship has failed to give us any satisfactory ac- count of the ancestors of the Roman peo- pie may we not harbor suspicion that al some prehistoric period those ancestors had an opportunity of learning something of the Mosaic account of creation?

If the soul. The voice of nature sneak in in the formation of the various Greek words for "die," presents a sug- eestive fact for the reflection of the thoughtful 1lnguist. These words vel hning influence of the philisophy of Socrates, of Plato, or of Aristotle; nor Under the influence of the deeply re- iigious Greek tragedies; but they came forth little by little from the minds Of everyday. plodding mem and these men were heather. Under such circutn- stances. we must consider that the ords naturally expressed the real thought of the minds in which they were born.
 With this principle to guide us, let Us examine some of the words for 'die," i1 languages which were spoken where the gospel was not known, and where the people were heather.
 The Greeks had no attractive idea of a future state. Achilles, in the Odyssey was doubtless expressing the natural and general sentiment, when he said that he would rather live on earth as the serf of needy master than to reign over the whole kingdom of the dead But still. Homer represents the Greek prince as saying this in Hades. that is. after death, and in the spirit world.
 In Greek we find several forms o' expression for die" "Apopsuko ''oikomal9 "oiko,' "oikeo,q "apoiko- mai" "apoleipo.' and 'apeimi tou biou." all mean to die, and the idea which ia common to them all, as well as to the Latin "pereo," Is that of a departure, or separation, or going from one stasa CT place to another, The notion of an- initiation is not hinted at in the roo. idea of any one of these expression "Apopsuko" points to departure of the soul. "Oiko," and all it's defiva- tives, indicate the idea of going or de- parting. "Apoleipo" means to leave. "Apeimi tou biou" is a close transla ton of our English phrase depart this life"
 Cicero, who was one of the most careful students of words in his day, and whose mind was often perplexed with Greek the ories of immortality, might have found more trustworthy instruction in these Greek words and in his own word "pereo' than he ever found in his study of Plato.

roy, and a witness in favor of the Chris tian code of morals, which makes the will of God the rule of life In Latin We have "rego'-to draw a straight line--to make straight-and hence to rule. Then we have "rectus'-right, or that which is made straight. Straishtness is the root-idea in all the members of this num- erous family. many of which we find in English, as erectify." "reetitude," "dl- rect" ''ereet." Our word right itself shows in it's orthog~aphy close kinship to the Latin '4rego" sometimes written with an i, is in "dirigo," to direct. In geometry we speak of "a right line meaning a stright line.

 While on the word right let me note the fact that the French word for right" convicts of stupidity, or of unreason, as Carlyle would call it, every man who does wrong. The French word is "raison"- reason-and man is said to be right when he has reason-''il a raison." Every F'renchman, then, who does wrong Is, by the very formation of his language, con- victed of folly. This view of the case gives strong innate testimony in favor of the right; but the people whose ideas of right make it only reasonable: who in originating the word, attached no di- vine sanction to the thing, were the peo- pie who deluged their land with blood. in an insane attempt to do away with all authority human and divine and to en- throne the goddess of Reason" as the sole object of worship.

 But the political forum would not be bar for young Webb, who was elected to the state senate in 1900, and soon thereafter he became one of the con spicuous leaders of the democratic party of the old North State. In 1902 he was nominated for Congress by the democracy of his district and triumphantly elected. He was reelected in 1904 and in 1906.
