This love of adventure and indiffer-
ence to conditions contributed largely
to her enjoyment of her trip of last
year to Japan. With her daughter Ha-
eel, now n pupil at a school in WASH
ington, she spent seven months in the
Flowery Kingdom. most of which time
was occupied in travelling about and in
vestigating out-of-thew corners of
the mikados kingdom.
In the course of their many expedi-
tions in MANY of which they were
Joined by little party of Englishwom
en-, they visited hundreds of temples,
mission schools. institutions and pri-
slept quite frequently like the natives
themselves and thereby learned to
know the country and its people as con-

Mrs. Jones declares that Japan is
veritable fairyland in the beauty of its
scenery and vegetation. and the Japa-
nese worship nature so thoroughly that
they cultivate every foot of ground
about their houses. Flowers? Yes, in
deed. they cultivate flowers. and they
love them so that the children never
seem to break OFF the blossoms o.
branches

that their worship and reverence of
mowers precludes the women even US
!ne natural Howers to dress their hair;
that when such ornamentation is de-
sired artificial flowers are used. Yes,
they are wonderful farmers, and the
results they get by their intensive
methods is away ahead of many of our
own agriculturists"
How ABOUT the cherry blossoms? Are
they as wonderful as we are led to be-
heve they are?' her visitor asked
Oh. you never saw such cherry bios
SONS anywhere as in Japan" Mrs.
Jones replied They are magnificent,
and we were fortunate enough to be in
the country during cherry blossom
season. With another American wom-
an, my daughter and / made a trip to
Yoshino In the northern part of the
country just to get view of the
wilder mountain country in all of the
gorgeousness of color that this season
gives to it. The blossoms frequently
attain a much greater size than they
ever do in this country, growing to the
proportions of our finest carnations.

Germany and Belgium. The roadbed is
of very solid construction
The Turkish government assured the
leaders of Islam that no unbelievers
should be employed in building the
railway beyond Palestine, and since
much of the work was done by the SOL
diers it may be that this pledge was
kept. Yet, there were Syrian traders

AN ILLUSION SHATTERED.
Strawberries Wholly Lacking In M.
tritive Qualities.

Strawberries Wholly Lacking In M.
tritive Qualities.
The strawberry cannot be recon-
mended TO the housewife because of
any very nutritive quality 4 possesses.
To bee perfectly frank. 10 cents worth
Of strawberries contain about one-sixth
as much nourishment as 10 cents
worth Of apples
In fact. it is sad. but true-the straw
berry is the most expensive fruit In
the list issued in the bulletins of the
United States department of agricul-
ture
Even watermelon possesses two-thlrds
more nouriShment for the price we pay
than strawberries. and yet no fair
minded housewife would want 10 de
prive her family Of the joy Of an occa-
sioHuI dish of strawberries just on that
account.
II may have been in order TO furnish
some excuse for eating Strawberries
that there have sprung up around them
the tradition OF so many virtues. 1t
used to be said that he who ate straw
berries would have no tartar on his
teeth, that they prevented pcrspiration-
in summer time. that they cured govt
and consumption and a host Of other
Ills that flesh is heir 10. The housewife
who believed all these things could
well consider strawberries economical.
But why make all these excuses?
Why not admit that we like strawbcr-
rieS, that they DO us no harm and that
we eat them for the very JOY Of il?
For, indeed, 10 the person who likes the
flavor OF this most useless of all the
fruits there is something ncompara-
bic about &c. The very botauial name

Then he began to plunge and swim
around frantically in the canal. The
accident had been seen by two boys,
and after they had watched the dog
swim around for half an hour, they
went to the field and told the owner
about 1t. The latter hurried to the
canal, and found the dog swimming
about plunging here and there, en-
deavoring to get the lost luncheon. He
called the dog to come out of the wa
ter but Nero would not leave the
canal. All efforts to get him to the
shore were fruitless. The dog was be-
coming exhausted, but still swan
AROUND yelping piteously, grieved and
nearly eart-broken at having met
with the accident
The owner saw that the only way to
get the dog out of the water was to
fish up the luncheon. After about
fifteen minutes fishing, the dinner pail
was recovered, and after that the cof-
fee bottle. Then Nero consented to
come out of the water, but was so
weak he could not crawl out and had
to be hauled up on land. The dog
had been swimming for over an hour.

A Dogs Devotion
to a Given Task

Nero, a large Newfoundland dog
owned by farmer residing near Mon
louisville, Pa, was so broken hearted
recently over his carelessness in drop
ping into canal a luncheon that he
was carrying, that he nearly killed
himself in his effort to regain the par
cells, and refused to come out of the
water until they were fished up.
Nero started from the house to the
field where his master was working,
with lunch pail and some coffee in a
glass bottle having a handle by which
1t could be carried He suddenly
seemed to remember that he could
shorten the trip by a quarter of a
mile by going across lots and over
the footbridge on the canal. The
bridge is a narrow plank, and. in
crossing 1t, Nero had to be so watch
full of his steps that he forgot to keep
his Jaws tightly shut on the coffee
bottle. and it dropped into the water.
Forgetting that he had the lunch pail
In his mouth, Nero jumped in after

Automatic SPRINKLER Does
Good Work in Store Fire

An automatic sprinkler in the waste
paper room at the Dives, Pomeroy &
Stewart department store prevented a
costly conflagration last night Three
night watchmen employed in the store
detected an odor of smoke about 1915
a. m. One called to Roundsman Nc
Cam, who was nearby, to send in an
alarm from Box 221, Fourth and Mar
ket streets.
An automatic sprinkler started
to work as soon as the temperature
reached las degrees and prevented the
fire from getting beyond the rubbish
room. Chemicals put an end to the
blaze without doing any damage to
adjoining rooms AS soon as the fire
was extinguished. the windows were
opened and the electric fans were
started. This drove the smoke from
the store and the damage will not
amount to more than So. The origin
of the fire is a mystery. William Ben
nethum, manager, highely compn-
mented the hremsn for their good
work.
