| of fencing and jiu-iitsu abound and
anyone may learn both arts If he Will
give the time and money necessary
But the fencing and jiu-iitsu of the
Butoku Kwai is In a sense part of the
governmental military preparation. II
has certainly an actual value In train
ing individuals for war. even In these
days, when hand to hand combat is
almost impossible. The quickness OF
eye and hand, the adroitness in at
tack and defense. the training OF
nerve and muscle-these are still
worth while from the military point
OF view, and these to a remarkable
degree are developed through the ex-
ercises of this society. All, well,
everything connected with military
preparation in Japan is to some de-
gree secret and guarded from external
observation. The photographer In
any part of the empire must watch

cate the so-called fort zones" with

are posted. warning passengers that
in Japanese waters photographing
and sketching are prohibited by law,
and will not be permitted on the yes

Personally we never see or hear
jiu.jitsu without remembering Lafca
do Hearns comparison. For him the
whole national policy of Japan is in
the nature of jiu-iitsu exercise-the
using OF the enemy's strength to his
own undoing-he makes the claim that
Japan is playing jiu-jitsu with all the
outside world. She yields that she
may gain: she abandons the unneces-
sary in her character that she may
profit by the experience and wisdom
OF outside nations. To him the game
was wise; he believed In its ultimate
success.

TO SERVE TOMATOES
VARIETY OF COMBINATIONS FOR
HEALTHFUL VEGETABLE.
Can Be Served Three Times a Day for
Week and Never Twice Alike
Cancer Theory Elk
ploded.

The housekeeper whose family
scorns tomatoes is to be pitied. They
can be used three times a day every
day for week and never need they
be served twice alike.
Some time ago there were rumors
that the tomato was bad for cancerous
troubles. also must be dreaded nv
rheumatics. This theory is exploded
and the tomato is considered health
full even in quantities.
Tomatoes are sometimes dis,iked
because they are served monotonous-
ly. Stewed. baked or fried are the
three variations.
Why not, instead of ordinary baked
tomatoes, stuff them with the highly
seasoned remnant of yesterdays meat
or chicken put through a grinder and
mixed with cream dressing:
Another good stufing is cold maca-
roni, from which the sauce has been
washed of, mixed with chopped green
peppers. When the breadcrumb stuff
fing is used have you ever covered the
top thickly with cream or Parmesan
cheese?
The average fried tomato Is unpala-
table because it is Toured to death.
Try frying the raw, sliced tomatoes in
plenty of butter to which a little lard
is added to prevent burning. Cook
slowly until done, then remove most
of the tomatoes, add little more but
ter rubbed with flour, and cream to
make thick dressing. If you do not
mind the tomatoes being broken they
ia be returned to this gravy over
the stove, otherwise it is poured over
them. Season highly.
Instead of plain tomato salad try
'stuf1ng the icy cold peeled tomato
with asparagus tips. Cover with may.
onnaise.
Another form of salad is to cut the
whole tomatoe into six sections with
out cutting through. Keep 1t looking
as If whole. fill the opening with
chopped Brussels sprouts and olives
mixed and soak for half an hour in
French dressing. When serving put
mayonnaise on the top. The cutting
enables the seasoning to permeate
more rapidly and the salad can be
more easily eaten.

Tokyo.-We have been to Kyoto.
The world over, age gives respecta'
bility, and Kyoto rejoices in the re-
speciality Of age. Today she is
city of secondary importance. but her
past was magnificent. OF course she
considers Tokyo a MUSHROOM. The
present capital of the Japanese en-
pire was mere fishing village until
1903, when the great Iyeyasu made II
the Shogunate capital. Through its
early history 1t was known as Yedo'
In our childhood, we all heard OF the
marvellous city of Yedo; no doubt
many of us have wondered that 1t no
longer attracts attention. ignorant OF
the fact that It is the present city OF
Tokyo II was the Shogun's capital
from 1903 until 1868. During all that
time Japan had two capitals, the old
Mikado's capital of Kyoto and the
new Shogun's capital of Yedo. Since
1868. with the restoration OF the
Mikado TO actual power, the seat OF
his government has been shifted and
today Kyoto lives upon It's past glory.
In 1895 Kyoto celebrated Its eleven
hundredth anniversary by building a
curious and striking building which is
commonly known as the Tai-Kyoku
Den. 1t was intended to reproduce
the architecture of the time wheA the
city itself was founded. AT that
time Japan was notably under Chinese
influence, and the whole architecture
and style of the edifice emphasizes
that fact. There is a grand and mas.
Eive wooden gateway, brilliantly col
ored, which gives entrance to an
enormous courtyard in which is stu
ated the Tai-Kyoku Den.
We arrived at Kyoto the afternoon
before the procession was to take
place. and our first visit was to the
memorial building, which is the ter
minus to which the procession
marches after It has passed through
the main streets of the city. f'ter in
