To Relish Wife,s Cooking.

A doctor tells me of note he re-
ceived from woman saying that her
husband, who was about to make him
a professional call. found constant
fault with the dinner she prepared
for him. She appealed to the physi-
clan for aid.
The doctor examined his patient
who had slight attack of indiges-
ton, and told him to cut out lunches,
to eat nothing but slice of toast and
cup Of tea.
The scheme worked excellently. Oh

Japanese Farmers.

Wherever the Japanese farmer
comes in force he drives out the white
man from the community. His pres.
ence is as surely depressing upon
real-estate values as the presence OF
a colony of negroes is in a Southern
city. The Japanese farm laborers
in the small-fruit sections of the
State can find employment at wages
of $1.25 to $1.75 day. In the great
prune-growing district of Santa Clara
Valley they can make as much as SO
a day during the picking season.
They live on next to nothing and save
their money. To their savings they
add money advanced from Japan, or
they did until the panic cut off the
supply from home, then go out to buy
or lease land.
The Japanese in California own
over 1000 farms. an aggregate of
more than 100000 acres. There can
be little doubt that many of the farms
were acquired with money advanced
from Japan by the financial agents
of the all-grasping imperial house,
hold. A Toxic banker is responsible
for the statement that the imperial
household is interested in land-hold-
ings in California. Texas, Louisiana
and Colorado. The agitation for a
law to prevent aliens holding land in
California grows out of the general
dislike for the Japanese and the in
creasing fear of their encroachment
upon agricultural industries. FIRES.
