Why You Should Teach Your Children
Jiu Jitsu.
One Of the most interesting subjects
brought Up for discussion at the recent
interpationa coREreHs on school by
giene was the question OF including
the teaching Of fin iltsu, or Japanese
wrestling, as part OF the regular school
curriculum
One thing about jlu jitsu is that Il is
graceful The throws and falls are all
done when expert with an ease and
grace that are little shert OF marvel

the wonderfully beneficial effect it has
upon the health Of those little pupils
who have already become proficient
md who number small mites Of five or
six years.
One Of the most potent results Is the
improved circulation of a child who

MAGAZINE REVIEW.
Photo Era for February.

Although the January issue of Photo
Era, the American journal Of phetogra-
ply, marked an epoch in Photographic

the remarkable artistic success Of Photo
Era's fifth annual Photographic contest.
The prize winning pictures, reproduced

Palms can he groy4l successfully in

their needs. There is really no Sc
sessity for the dropping, following or
falling leaves that are too often the

Grow them in sunny window in a

heating than most foliage plants
Guard against sudden variations Of
heat and cold
Give palms plenty Of pot room, but

A little fertilizer, say teaspoonful
Of ANNOTATED bone meal mixed in a
little tepid water and poured around
the roots, may be given every two
weeks. Others use successfully weak
manure water diluted to the color Of
weak tea.
Never let water stand in the saucer
beneath the pot. but keep on watering
until little shows through at the bot
tom. Then DO not water again until
little dry blotches begin to appear on
the surface.
It Is mistake to use glazed jardi-

What is Pe-ru~na.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim 1t to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
ity such a catarrh remedy? Let us see
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients OF
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
Of this herbal remedy, that il is largely
employed in the treatment of ~depraved
mucous membranes lining various
organs of the human body.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as a tonic.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient oil
Peruna. The United States DISPENSE
tory says of the action OF cedron that
1t is used az a bitter tonic and in the
treatment of dysentery, and in inter
mittent diseases as a substitute for
quinine.

monials of what the people think of Pc

When We reached the scene of the
tragedy we found the machine stand

the grade of the roadway. A dark pool
of blood in the tonneau told its own
story.
"An automatic" he quietly re-

bullet could go clear through the body
of a man and then cut so clean a fur

The machine was set on the e 6

almost empty and the oil-cups dry as

afraid of the high speed, and he had
been burning up the engine and squan-

The sexton of one church that keeps

whether to regard the matter in h

very inappropriate for church. A dig

show him a book of flute music.

said the assistant, "and cheap at half a

than SO airs"
The old man took the book, opened
1t, and laid it on a shelf. Then he took
his flute out of his coat pocket,
screwed it together and began to play
softly the first tune in the book.
When he had finished the first tune
he turned the page and played the
second. Then he played the third.
An hour later he was still playing.

When we entered the gloomy cor

for an interview with Edgerton.
Here we met a stumbling-block Of
formidable proportions. Inspector Ship
returned with the word that the pris-

Then, inspector, | wish you would
