NOVEL SOCIETY FORMED
IN FLOWERY KINGDOM

TOXIC, July PA society against
dangerous thoughts has been organ
lied in Toxic. The Japanese name is
"Doka Kai" and it is patriotic or
ganization. The dangerous thoughts
that it proposes to combat are, first,
that the Japanese might be inclined
to follow the example of revolutionary
China, second, the foreign thoughts"
that the Japanese are not an equal of
the white race. The Doka Kai was
called into life by number of Japa-
nese scholars and learned men of the
old school, for the purpose Of main
tanning the Japanese individuality and
ideals. The founders declare that some
of the Japanese political leaders have
become drunk" with western civiliza-
tion, are forgetting Japanese nation
ality and are instilling dangerous
thoughts and ideas in the public
minds.

GIRL WHO MASQUERADED
AS BOY DONS SKIRTS

AKRON, o., July 21.-Reed Moore
l7-year-old boy masquerader, spent
her first day as real girl in two
years in real girls clothes, under the
motherly wing of Mrs. A. w. Winters
wife of Captain Winters of the Vol
unteers of America. She will not have
to serve sentence of thirty days just
as long as she keeps on wearing skirts

SAVING THE BIRDS.

The governments strong arm has
been stretched out to save the birds
from extinction, and it has been
stretched none too soon. Even hunt
ers as terrible to larks and sparrows
as Tartarin will admit in their can
did moments that regulation of some
sort had become necessary and that
the slaughter had gone beyond the
limit of safety. But hunting is a
strong passion and no sportsman had
the courage to deny himself while
other sportsmen were popping away
in the fields. What" he would ask,
''is the use?" Doubtless many of
these hunters will be glad to be re-
leived of torturing temptation by
the governments order fixing closed
season of five years for certain sorts
of game birds and protecting the mi
gratory insectivorous birds, including
the robin and the lark.
The destruction of the insectivor-
Gus birds was indeed sheer folly and
we should have paid pretty dear for il
| if we had failed to act. The service
of the insectivorous birds can be sta.
| ted in terms of dollars and cents
which is always strong argument
Edward II Forbush, state ornithol
ogist of Massachusetts, has recently
published his estimate of the havoc
wrought by insects in this country
According to him, the loss is not fal
from $500, 900 year, and the los.
to the average farmer he puts al
| $12656. Without the help of the birds
man, he says, would be powerless t.
F., cope with the plant-destroying in
sects, which have fecundity compar
able to that of bacilli and so enormou.
as to stagger the mind, the greer
louise reproducing at the rate of tel
sextillion pair in single season ant

tween fifty and sixty millions. 1t i.

SEASICKNESS HAS TONIC
EFFECT ON STOMACH

BERLIN, July 22.-If you would
like to take sea trip this summer,
don't be afraid of seasickness. It's
good for you, or at least says DIR. Rex
kel-Fermer, famous Austrian special
ist. The doctor bases his contention
on many years study of patients sent
on sea voyages and he says that those
who were continually sea-sick got sur
prisingly we'll, whereas in theory they
ought to have weakened. On the
other hand patients who were not sick
benefited only to normal extent. 1T
is quite plain that seasicknes is part
of the sea cure. People have died
from seasickness, it is true, but they
have also died from eating, exercise
and other desirable and necessary
things" he declares. "The irritation
of the nervous vagus' has an extra
ordinary tonic effect on the stomach
