FARMING IN JAPAN.
COLORADO

Those who despise the power Of the
Japanese people should correct their
estimates by a study of the agricul-
tural prodigies Of this most capable
race. says New York american. In
war the first victory rests with the
commissary. and the last objective OF
all military operations is the COM
mand Of the wheat aelds-or the rice
fields. Nations are strong not in pro-
portion to their natural resources. but
In proportion to their ability to make
much of what they have. Now.
Japan does its farming in a way that
Is. from a military point of view. sim
ply formidable. 1t supports a popula-
ton of 51.000.000 on an area of ara
BILE land that could be contained in
a circle with radius OF Is miles-con-
siderably less than the distance from
New York to Philadelphia. There are
more farms that are called worn
out" in New England and the. middle
states than would equal the whole OF
the tillable surface OF the Japanese
islands. Our lands are worn out"
OF course, merely because our scant
skill and tickle patience are exhaust
ed. and not because they do not con-
tain under their hidebound sods the
making Of the food OF millions. The
teeming little farms of present day

Pietro had drifted to Florida and
was working with gang at railroad
construction. He had been told to
beware of rattlesnakes, but assured
that they would always give the
warning rattle before striking.
One hot day he was eating his noon
luncheon on pine log when he saw
big rattler coiled few feet in front
of him. He eyed the serpent and be-
gan to lift his legs over the log. He
had barely got them out of the way
when the snakes fangs hit the bark
beneath him.

PUZZLED
Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise
Children.

Children's taste is ofttimes more &C.
curate. in selecting the right kind of
food to fit the body. than that Of
adults. Nature works more accurate
ly through the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: Our little
boy had long been troubled with
weak digestion. We could never per-
suade him to take more than one taste
of any kind of cereal food. He was
a weak little chap and we were puz-
zled to know what to feed him on.
"One lucky day we tried Grape
Nuts. Well, you never saw a child
eat with such a relish. and 1t did me
good to see him. From that day on
1t seemed as though we could almost
see him grow He would eat Grape
Nuts for breakfast and supper. and
think he would have liked the food
for dinner.
THE difference in his appearance is
something wonderful.
My husband had never fancied CO.
real foods of any kind, but he be-
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using it.
I'VE are now healthy family, and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"a friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. l was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment. They
showed it. So I urged her to use
Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the
result was almost magical.
They continued the food and today
both children are well and strong as
any children in this city. and. of
course, my friend is firm believer in
Grape-Nuts for she has the evidence
before her eyes every day"

Law Allow. But One Deer.

Denver.-Reports have recently been
circulated that each hunter would be
allowed to kill two deer this fall, pro-
viding he possesses the necessary
skill. The circulation of such reports
has aroused the deep-seated ire of
State Game and Fish Commissioner
Holland, and il any hunter presumes
to exercise his skill to the extent Of
two deer slaughtered. the game au-
thorities will prosecute.
One deer. and that must be buck,

extent of the law, contrary reports not
withstanding. The deer season opens

The latest public school develop
ment is the proposed establishment
Of classes at Montclair. N. j.. for in
struction In the prevention of tuber.
culosis. A census of the Montclair
schools shows that there are about IS
pupils who are predisposed to tuber-
culosis. and to save these children
and others the authorities propose
to establish outdoor classes in each Of
the schools. 1t would be good policy
to make instruction in warfare against
tuberculosis general SO that the pu-
pills may guard themselves against in
lection, and avoid inclusion in the
outdoor classes. The open air school
is becoming quite general. New
