Japanese for Meat Diet.

Meat has been officially introduced
as part of the Japanese army diet,
and as result, the Japanese board of
agriculture has sent commission
abroad to investigate and take steps
for introducing the breeding of cattle
in Japan. One reason for the change
OF diet is to avert a repetition of the
scourge of beri-beri which Slapped the
strength of the army during the Rus
sian war, and was said to have been
due to the rice diet, and another pur-
pose Is to add to the stature of the
race by general introduction of meat
eating. Here in the occident, there Is
an increasing conviction that the meat
diet has its penalties as well as it's
benefits.

Katrina's S Flower Garden

BY Martha Morton, Aged ~ Years, Ne
braska City. Blue Side.
Long ago there lived a princess whose
name was Katrina. Her father the king.
had made for her a greenhouse and a
garden. In the garden was a pretty little
fountain and a nice shady arbor, where
Katrina could sit and read and watch her
garden. All around the arbOr and on it
were pink and white roses. All day long
the bees would hum around the roses and
suck the yellow pollen out of them. One
day the king asked Katrina what flowers
she liked best in her garden and why.
Katrina said, II like the pink and white
roses that are on my arbor because they
are so pretty and the bees, whenever they
are tired, always come and rest there
on my roses. So in few days Katrina
was surprised when she went into the gar
den and found six beehives. Then the king
said. Here is place where you can keep
your Busy Little Bees"

because you did not practice your music
lesson" Myrl went and told her friends
she could not go because her mother said

partly because of her hatefulness toward
her sister. But Myrl said Girls, shall
60 anyway. / do not care what she says"
Myrl started with them, but as they got
in distance Myrls mamma saw her and

not long before the buds were opened on
the apple and plum trees and everything
showed its beauty.
The robin red breasts stood on the boughs
of the trees and sang their merry notes to
the passersby and everything seemed in its
happlest array.
But l don't think there was happier
home found any place in the world than
one found in the top OF an apple tree where
all the buds were out. DO you want to
know whose home this was IL was Mr.
Robin Readbreast. He stood on limb near
by and sang and sang till you'd think
something great had happened. Yes, some
thing great had happened. Four tiny blue.

Mr.. Robin was sent for some worms for
his hungry babies. He did not mind this

ling from head to foot. When she stood
before the queen with her eyes downcaSt
the queen asked, why did you break the
rules? / did not think this Of you"
But sometimes the best turn out the
worst intend to punish you. Why did you
bring her here2'
Lily did not answer until the queen
asked her again, why did you bring her
here?" Then Lily said. Because shek is
pretty and like her golden curls." So NE
