CLOUDED BRAIN
Clears Up on Change to Proper Food.

The brain cannot work with clear
ness and accuracy, If the food taken is
not fully digested, but is retained in
the stomach to ferment and form
poisonous gases, etc. A dull, clouded
brain is likely to be the result.
A Mich. lady relates her experience
in changing her food habits, and re-
suits are very interesting:
"A steady diet Of rich, greasy foods
such as sausage, buckwheat cakes and
SO on, finally broke down stomach
and nerves that, by Inheritance, were

no apparent good in the way of relief.

SELECTING A JURY.
Methods Of the Prosecution In a Great
Criminal Case.

Criminal Case.
In his book Courts, Criminals and
the Camorra" Arthur Train, once an
assistant district attorney in New
YORK, tells how juries are drawn for a
great criminal trial. For a month be-
fore a trial, says Mr.. Train, every
member Of the jury panel has been
subjected to an unseen inquisitorial
process. The district attorney knows
q good deal about every prospective
Juror and perchance has difficulty in
restraining a smile when he meets
with deliberate equivocation in answer
to an important question as to per-
sonal history:
Are you acquainted with the accus-
ed or his family?" mildly inquiries the
assistant prosecutor
mo, not at ALL" the talesman may
blandly reply.
The answer perhaps Is literally true,
and yet the prosecutor may be pardon
ed for murmuring "Liar!" to himself
as he sees that his memorandum con-
corning the jurors qualifications states
that he belongs to the same lodge
with the prisoners uncle by marriage
and carries an open account on his
books with the defendants father.

MAS" politely remarks the prosecutor.
Then In an undertone he turns to his
chief and mutters: "The old rascal!
He would have knitted US into a thou

chance!' And all this time the dis
gruntled Mr.. Ananias is wondering

EDITORIAL VIEWS.
lScribner's Magazine. }

To outline briefly the peculiar
methods of the Japanese artist; he
uses neither oils, canvas, card board
nor Whatman paper, but employs, in
stead. painting silk or absorbent
paper, with ink applied with we'll
watered brush, with or without other
colors. There is a fixed sequence in
the strokes of his painted objects and
an established order in which these
objects are introduced into the COM
position. The artist rarely outlines;
he prefers to paint without defining
boundaries; this charming manner is
known as bokketsu- He paints upon
the mating floor seated on his heels;
he makes no tentative strokes-he
knows in advance what is needed and
paints from a well-stored and trained
memory; he never retouches-a stroke
once made can neither be recalled nor
concealed; he paints with the greatest
freedom of the arm, with the brush
held perpendicularly, and with
stroke vigor like the movements of
dragon" and he invests each stroke
with a sentiment corresponding to the
very nature of the thing painted. Nor
must he hesitate or delay in the act,
else the psychological moment would
be gone. He never sketches casts or
living models, and Buddhist influence
has always prohibited the nude of ex-
ecuting the lines thereof. In sketching
from nature he interprets it not photo
graphically, but estetically and omits
unessential details. He paints no
shadows nor conceals in chiarooscuro
anything he paints. Finally, he seeks
for repose or freedom from all care
as the ideal condition under which to
pursue his art.
Nor can it be insisted upon too
strongly that the chief charm of a
japanese painting lies in the inspired
strength and character of the brush
stroke, which conveys a deep if un-
syllabled sentiment, not only cor
responding with the emotions of the
artist when producing the work, but
also enabling us to see with his eyes
and feel with his soul Through the
magic of such stroke is reproduced
the vary nature of the thing represent

QUEER SPORT IN CHINA.

four Pound Gun.
Foreign sportsmen in China always
observe with curious interest the ma
neuvers of native hunters.
An English sportsman tells OF an
incident he witnessed at the we'll
known Shaba, Or lower barrier, of
Nadoo creek, in north China. A native
shooter had his gingal with him-a
most uncanny looking weapon. That
there might be no question as to its
length, it was placed upright alongside
the Briton. 1t exceeded his height by
two feet two inches, making the piece
of ordnance over eight feet in length.
Englishmen sometimes complain Of the
weight Of their own guns-six and a
half to seven and half pounds. So
it is astonishing to behold Chinese
hunter carrying a twenty-four pound
gun all day long.
This particular native was accom-
panied by small, odd looking animal,
which the foreigner was assured was
a dog. Observation of the hunter and
dog at work made a deep impression
upon the stranger.
A. hen pheasant happened to drop
into a furrowed field at feeding time.
The native took her bearings, crept up
as closely as he safely could, put down
his gun on n bit of higher ground, and
kept it trained on the bird. Meantime
the dog lay down across the barrel of
the gun, thus serving as a screen for
his master When the proper moment
had arrived, the man fired. the bird
was killed upon the ground, and the
dog remained on the barrel until his
master took up the gun to reload

large section of nothing behind it.
Real dignity is all right. but there
is sort Of near dignity that is blood

The user of slang may not have any

variety either. but you can bank on

not pose for something he is not
There are people who talk like die
tionary and who make a pussy footed
search through their vocabulary for a
nice selection Of words, but somehow
you do not wholly trust these people
and feel that they are not as cultured
and profound as they sound.
On the other hand there are folks
that slam their words around regard

human beings with red blood in their
veins.

Yet 1t exactly hits sore spot in our
national life and in human nature gen

Worry pays less on the investment
of nerve force that is put into it than
any other form of human delinquency.
It is a killer Of happiness and a de-
stroyer of beauty.
1t not only sours our own disposi-
tons, but is unpleasant to those about
us.
Moreover. it does no earthly good.
The chronic worrier usually has moth

and most Of these are anticipated and

II am an old man and have had
many troubles. but most of them never

Women are generally the worst Of
tenders in the worry line. although
some men can do their good and ample
share.

WILD ASSES IN THE CORN.
dallas Times-Herald.)

Senator Tillman's experience is that
of nearly other Democratic senator or
representative. Every scheme known
to politics is being tried by the differ
ent aspirants for Office. Members of
Congress have no time to devote to
the nations business while they are
listening to the walls of delegations of
progressive Democrats who fear that
"standpat" Democrat might secure
job as doorkeeper for the useless
documents committee and thereby
commit the Wilson administration to
reactionary policy.
Some of our "loyai" Wilson men are
spending their money to travel many
miles to Washington to again refer to
the fact that they saved the day at
Baltimore. The men who saved Will
son at Baltimore have grown from a
force of a few hundred to several mil
lion. OF course, the President must
be politically grateful. He must for
get that he is the President of the
whole people and go about paying
political debts. Is this progressive De-
mocracy? Are the people who are
urging the chief executive to a course
of political expediency progressive
Democrats?
President Wilson should mount the
Democratic donkey and drive the wild
that progressive Democracy has pro-
crossed far enough to eliminate the
professionl Office seeker.

THE BIRTH OF AN IDEA.
Golfers Weekly

Six or eight years ago the business
men of Henderson, KY, the metropolis
of large but tagging agricultural dis
trict, organized commercial club and
set out to make their town a young
Pittsburgh. They proclaimed Hender-
sons advantages on billboards and
sent their cleverest takers to inter
view capitalists in the large cities
But months and years slipped by, and
scarcely any new factories were built
1t took these men a long time to
realize that they were wasting much
precious time in misdirected effort.
But at last came an inspiration. The
progressive members of the club met
the other day and resolved themselves
into a crop improvement association,
opened the membership books to
everybody that would pay the annual
dues of 81, and hired a farm expert
by the year. The idea became popular
with the farmers, who will control the
policies of the organization. The
Chicago Board of Trade became in
terested in the experiment and agreed
to contribute $4,000 to help pay the
first two years expenses; and the
Department of Agriculture will pay $50
month of the experts salary. The
trained agriculturist will make labor
atory tests of soils and dairy products,
conduct practical demonstrations on
farms and give free advice to all who
ask for tin fact. do anything he sees
fit for the promotion of better farm
ing. The iGea is splendid one. 1t
is based on the sound, fundamental
truth that the soil is the source of
new wealth Most commercial clubs
spend their energy and money trying
to get factories away from other cities
