DIFFICULTY OF INVASION.

Whenever war is discussed invasion
Is sure to be treated as a matter to
be considered anxiously. Yet sue
cessful invasion has always been the
exception, rather than the rule. Eng
land has had a fit of the shivers every
few years for centuries at the thought
Of invasion, and yet IT has actually been
centuries since she has suffered from
an invasion, says Manchester Union.
In the last war with England there
was a great deal of talk about inva-
sion, both of this country and of Can
ada, yet nothing came of 1t all except
the taking of York, now Toronto, by
Pike, and the capture of Washington
by Ross, neither of which had any
permanent results or even any impor-
tant influence on the course of the
war. Now and then something Is
said In the newspapers and in military
circles about the invasion of the
United States by the army of some
hostile nation. 1t is well enough to
provide suitable coast defenses, for It
would be disagreeable and expensive
for some one of our seacoast towns
10 be levied upon for a heavy tribute
by hostile fleet, but as to an inva-
sion which would reach anywhere into
the interior, 1t is not for a moment to
be seriously entertained.

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
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 relish, and 1t did me
good to see him. From that day on
it 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 ce-
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,. I was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment They
showed 1t. So / 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"

FARMING IN JAPAN.
MICHIGAN

These who despise the power Of the
Japanese people should correct their
estimates by 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 fields-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 way that
Is, from military point OF view, sim
ply formidable. 1t supports popula'
ton of 100000 on an area OF ara.
BILE land that could be contained In
a circle with a radius of rs 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
Japan were cropped thousand years
before the Pilgrims landed on the Ply
mouth sands.

the country in serach of Walker. The
entire neighborhood is aroused over

Walkers act is said to be the cul-
mination of four months cruelty to
his wife, Lulu, the slain mans daugh-
ter, who was married to him only last
summer and who. it is alleged, was
compelled to leave him within few
weeks after their marriage, on ac-
count of extreme cruelty
She was made welcome at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Priestman and but
for the disturbances raised by Walker,
who has been coming to the Priest
man home and endeavoring to get his
wife to return to his home, her sub
sequent refusal always ending in
many threats, she would have been
happy, neighbors say.
Walker made his customary visit
to the Priestman homestead. His
young wife refused to talk with him
and Walker grew angry.
Priestman followed his son-in-law
to the door, when Walker turned sud
denly, drew a revolver and fired two
shots, both Of which took effect within
three inches of each other.
Walker started at first for his home,
which is an eighth of mile away.
Changing his mind, however, he
made for the Pere Marquette tracks.

The latest public school develop

of classes at Montclair, N. j., for in

schools shows that there are about IS
pupils who are predisposed to tuber-

A woman in New York obtained
$4,000 damages from a railroad com
pany because she was SO badly burned
in a collision with her automobile
that the scars preclude her from ever
wearing decollete gowns. The ia
nous decision is yet remembered OF
a New Jersey Judge who decided that
parents of children killed in an acci-
dent could not recover any but nom
fnal damages, as the children had no
money value. The vagaries of the law
are certainly hard for the lay mind
20 understand.
