Japan Takes to Milk

There was time when milk was re-
garded in Japan with the same abhor-
renee as cheese is In China, especially
the pungent and strong smelling va
riety Recent statistics. however. show
that time has worked great change
in this respect. and milk and butter are
now in great favor in Japan. Whereas
% years ago not more than I or 2 per
cent of the persons visiting European
restaurant, or eating a European meal
at friends house. would have thought
Of touching butter, fully 40 or so per
cent now eat it with a relish. They
are. however. quite content to do with
out 1t.
AS to dairy farms. they have in
creased notably in recent years. Butter,
however, is a byproduct at these places.
1t is to milk that they look for their
profit Milk has curious history in
this country. Thirty or 40 years ago it
was abhorred- The average Japanese
could not induce himself to drink it.
But today many a household consumes
one or two bottles of milk daily partly
because people have come to like 1t
and partly because the doctors have
recommended 1t as unique and whole
some beverage. Milk halls" too are
now quite numerous. Butter will proba-
bly, take much longer to come widely
into vogue, because of it's expensive
ness. A pound of fresh butter costs al
least yen f4s.S cents gold) in Tokyo
today, an extremely high price for
Japan.

ANOTHER SUICIGE
William Christensen OF HiamIin Township

Sunday afternoon Deputy Sheriff
Dan Kerwin received notice by tele-
phone that William Christensen, who
lived three quarters of mile west of
Hamlin Center, had committed suicide;
and accompanied by Coroner A. c..
Harmon, he went down to make an in
vestigation and assist in holding an
inquest.
1t seems that along about noon Mr..
Christensen went into the bed room
and as his wife supposed lay down on
the bed to take Test and sleep. She
was busy about the house and after
awhile went out To the barn to let the
cattle in rather than disturb her huS-
band. Later she concluded to bake a
cake and went into the room where he
was lying to get some sugar. He was
lying with his back to the edge of the
bed. In looking To see whether he was
asleep she noticed q cord about his
neck. Though greatly shocked she got
a knife and cut thecord when the body
rolled upon the tiOOr. Rut life was
extinct. Mrs. Christensen FASTENED to
the home OF her son not far away to
give the alarm, and the officers in Au-
dubOn were notified. a jury composed
Of Anthony Davis, Clarence Davis
and John Kyhnn was empaneled and n
verdict rendered that he had come to
his death by his own act. The evidence
showed that he had tied strong cord
to the bed post and about his neck,
causing death by strapgulation. The
funeral service was held at the Danish
church in Hamlin, on Tuesday, con-
Quoted by Rev. Mr.. Jensen, Of Hamlin,
and the burial was made in the Gene
terry at that place. The wife, five sops
and one daughter are left to mourn
