IAPAN'S OPIUM CRUSADE
IN F0RM0SA.
eeooe oeosseose ;

The COnsul-General of Japan at
New York, Mr.. K. Midzuno, in a read
able article in the North American
Review, describes "Japan's Crusade
on the Use of Opium in Formosa." >"
When Japan, at the close of the
Chino-Japanese War, found herself
in possession of the Island of Formo-
sa, she discovered that she was con-
fronting a very serious problem. For
generations Chinese inhabitants OF
the island had been using opium: and
realizing the deleterious effect of the
drug upon the population, the Japan
csc Government felt that something
had to be done to put an end to it's
use. It would have been inhuman
to compel those who had been smok-
ing opium all their lives to discon-
tinue the habit The Government de-
termined, therefore, that its effort
should be directed toward preventing
the advent of new recruits into the
ranks of the smokers, and it provfd-
ed for the registration and the IL
censing of those who should be per.
mitted to use opium. The results
have been most gratifying, according
to Mr.. MidzunO, and the prospect is
that the opium habit will disappear
entirely from the island upon the
gradual disapp in the course
of nature, of the older portion of the
population. Mr.. Midzuno says:
CAS- statistics indicate, there are To-
day $4,000 opium smokers in For.
mosa, and nearly, If not quite, all
are among the very aged, who have
| been used to its effects for many
years. 1t is very seldom that new
converts to its use are foInd since
the introduction of the crusade.
mot what to do but how to do II
| Is the question that confronts those
who would forever eliminate the OBJ
noxious and the hurtful from For
mosa. The present need is rigidly tc
| enforce registration, and to keep es
| tablished a license system for thoss
addicted TO the use of opium, thereby
colfning its use to those who could
not subsist without it. For the pres
ent generation and those oncoming
the superior advantages for the de-
velopment of higher civilizations
that are everywhere being gradually
introduced, aided by such precautions
as TIN so-called gradual prohibition
project involves, offer every assur
ance, based upon Definite facts, thai
ere long the wretched habit OF the
abuse OF opium in the Island OF Fof-

The Advertising Glass.
BY LAYTON BREWER.

The class in advertising was in ses-

College. Professor Agate addressed

Il have endeavored, gentlemen, to
give you some ideas as to forms of
Advertising designed TO put the farm

been picked clean.
I'VE amt any nearer that nest
down here than when we were at
home" remarked Williams to his
comrades. Nothing but a balloon
or an airship can help us from down
here. Let us go up to the top of the
cliff and see what we can do from
there"
For two hours the three young men
struggled to reach the top of the
mountain. A wide detour was neces-
sary, but at last this was accom-
plished and they stood on the brink

preparing for another swoop at the
defenceless man. When she was ten
feet distant a rife rang out from the
top Of the cliff. and Williams knew
his friends were doing what they
could. But the old bird did not fall
ter for moment, although a couple
OF feathers from her terrible right
wing foated away in the wind. In
his haste to send a second bullet
downward the man with the rife
managed to jam it, and with a de-
spairing cry threw the now useless
weapon to the ground.
The eagle returned to the attack
with even greater fury, and for a few
minutes Williams thought his last
moments had arrived But still he
fought on, pulling great handfuIs of
feathers from the bird and beating
| at her desperately with his bare fist.
receiving in return many cuts and
slashes as well as stunning blows
from the madly tapping wings. He
was almost ready to loose his hold on
the rope and go crashing down to the
bottom of the canyon, when the eagle
suddenly wheeled away for another
attack
AS she came back again, screaming
| and beating the air, something the
size of Williams head struck her on
the back, and down she went like a
stone, whirling over and over. Will
1ams' friend above had hurled small
rock at the bird, and, luckily for WILL
Jams, the boulder had struck her
fairly on the back between the i'm
| mense wings.
Hold on tight and weIl let you

man at the top of the cliff. leaning
far over. Then Williams showed the
sterling stuff of which he was made.
Though bleeding from a dozen
wounds, breathless and exhausted, he
was still determined to fulfil his er-
rand.
Hold me here until get these lit
tie BIRDS he shouted feebly "I
came after them, and I'm going to
have them"
With that the plucky fellow
crawled back into the niche, put the
two little eaglets in his bag, thrust
his leg through the loop, grasped the
rope with both hands and was safely
lowered to the floor of the canyon.
Within a few feet of where he
landed lay the old mother eagle.
Williams staggered over to her and
gave her a kick To his amazement
she moved, stood up on her feet and
flew away.
| One of Williams companions came
sliding down the rope and reached
him just as the injured man tainted
from loss of blood and excitement.
The punishment he had received was
terrible, but fortunately his eyes had
escaped injury.
| After casting off the rope the third
man made his way down the noun
tain to where Williams and his friend
were. They managed to stop the flow
Of blood, and between them got the
wounded man on his horse and
brought him to Riverton. Williams
spent several days in bed and covered
with bandages for two weeks, but re-
ceived no lasting injuries.
As souvenirs of his terrible fight
he has two little eagles and a dozen
or more big scars to show his friends.
