TOXIC = Japan is directing
three squadrons against the German
province of Kiauchau and the German
war ships in eastern waters. Vice
Admiral Tomosaburo KatO has been
appointed commander in chief OF the
first squadron, which will carry out
the main offensive movement against
Germany. Vice Admiral Sadakichi
Kato will command the second squad

third
The first and second squadrons VIII
operate against Kiauchau, while the
third will be used to patrol the Chi
nese coast and to watch for any Ger
man cruisers that may elude the block
aiding fleet.
All News Withheld.
News of the progress of the Ktau-
chau expedition is withheld. Whether
an attack has already been launched
is known only to the government,
which promises an official statement
@'when there is news to communicate"
But it is considered certain that the
reduction of the Notifications has al
ready begun.
Unanimous approval of the war,
which is calmly and dispassionately
discussed, summarizes public opinion.
The newspapers express regret over
the necessity of hostilities with Ger
many, and urge the public to refrain
from exhibiting resentment toward
the Germans in Japan.
They print messages of cheer to the
army and navy, who, they hope, will
be quickly victorious. An imperial
messenger went to the Shrines of Ise
to inform the spirits of the imperial
ancestors of Japan's declaration of
war. 1t is announced that a flock of
white doves descended on the roof of
the imperial sanctuary at the moment
of the expiration of the ultimatum to
Germany, and this is accepted as an
omen of speedy victory.

Milwaukee, Wis, - How
would you like to shake dice with
death across the table from you
waiting to rake in the stakes, if you
lose? That is practically what Lin
coin Beachey, worlds greatest avn
.ator, does and will do every time he
makes a flight at this years Wiscon-
sin State Fair. He will fly three
times each day on Sept. Is, 16, II
and 10.
Beachey is famed as the most skill
full of all aviators and does the most
remarkable things with an aeroplane,
but his scientific and skillful feats
pale into insignificance when COM
pared with the stunts he accomplished
through just sheer nerve and daring.
The loop and the upside down fly
ing feats are easy for Beachey when
everything goes right But let the
motor hesitate just fraction of a
second as the aeroplane is at the
apex Of the loop and ''tail slide" of
a few feet will mean the death Of the
fiier. Beachey is no fool. He knows
far better than anyone else just
what chance he is taking. But it's
all delightful game for him-this
sport of risking his neck on the mag
neto, carbCretor, wiring and dozens
Of ether factors in the construction
Of an aeroplane.
ct is simply the dancing along
life's icy brink and the attendant ex-
element that makes life worth
while,' said Beachey recently.
Chance taking is not a business with
me. 1t is a delightful diversion, and
no music lover ever is more charmed
by listening to the inspiring strains
of his favorite opera, superbly sung
by great artistic, when l am charm
ed at the hum of my motor when
am sailing in or out of loop and
upside down flight. Some hunt lions
and tigers for thrills. But l love the
sky and answer it's call because my
whole life centers around the sensa-
tions of flying.
A great scientist once told me
that l had the bird instinct in my be-
ing. AS a boy l was a great lover of
birds. Their song did not appeal to
me as much as their superb dips and
dives and other feats Of flying. l CO.
ten wanted to emulate them. Now I
can do things the birds cannot do.

How to Win.

This is an age of specialization. my
boy. and the only men who succeed in
big way are those who pick out some
particular line of work and live with
it until they get to know more about
it than most other fellows. Concen-
tration, consistent and persistent effort
in one direction is the surest road to
success. You'll never win in d big
way-except accidentally-if you scat
ter your energies. The best steam
engine in the world would race itself
to ruin without it's governor. Keep
your mind on your job specialize III
your particular business anG try to
know as much about it as the man
who created it, and. barring misfor-
tune. you'll make more out OF that
knowledge than you will out of any
chance success outside of your bust.

Potato Juice Cure.

Potato juice as a remedy for sprains

is recommended by DR.. Heaton G
Howard of London in an article in the
London Lancet He cites numerous
cases in his own practice in which the
pain has been relieved quickly. some
times by the first application, and the
fluid that has exuded into the joint or
the membranes has been absorbed
within a few days.
Potato juice is used as an ointment,
liniment or plaster The raw pota-
toes are squeezed in hydraulic press
The starch and heterogeneous matter are
removed and the juice boiled down IN

when fresh. ,Glycerin is added to pre-
serve it.

.iaua,s Teak Forests.

Teak forests in Java cover 1000
acres, and, as the area reforested is
two and half times as large as the
area felled in a given time, this magni-
icent stock of timber is continually
increasing. A pest of the Java teak
plantation is alang grass Gmperata
arundinacae). In order to prevent the
incursion of this plant, as hoeing is too
expensive. the foresters SOW legu-
minous plant, luecena glauca, between
the rows of teak seedlings. This chokes
the alang. keeps the soil clean and en-
riches the soil in humus and nitrogen.
and ultimately disappears with the in

Hens Need a Dust Bath.

If you have cement or board floor
In your poultry house be sure to pro-
vide place in which the hens can dust
themselves. With a dirt floor a hen
can usually find a place to dust her
self. but with hard. bare floor she
has no place other than the one you
provide for her. The dust bath is not
an imaginary need of the hen, but an
actual necessity. A large. shallow box,
partly filled with dust and coal ashes,
makes an ideal bath. Some lice pow
der can be scattered in it, or a few
drops of crude carbolic acid, and the
fowls will keep themselves free from
lice without much effort on your part

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 11.-There
will be plenty of music at the state
fair this year. The Wisconsin State
Board of Agriculture has contracted
for eight bands and one orchestra
An orchestra may seem out of place
at fair, but it is for use in the judg-
ing pavilion where band music has
been found too heavy. While the
judges are awarding prizes an orches-
ira of nine pieces will be flooding the
pavilion with popular airs and class
ical music.
Clauder's State band will play all
of the five days. 1t includes thirty
five of Milwaukee's best musicians
1t is possible that this band will be
heard down town each night of the
fair week, Sept. IA to IS.
The largest band engaged is the
famous Sheboygan band of fifty-fve
pieces. This organization was the
musical hit of the fair in 1913, and
this is why it has been re-engaged for
the 1914 fair. The band includes fifty
nV0 men, anu IL Will De at me Ialr Oh
Tuesday, Milwaukee Day and on We'd
nesday, State and Governors Day.
All of the other bands engaged come
highly recommended, and they include
from twenty-five to thirty-fve men.
A feature of the fair music this year
will be a State Fair march written
by Walter Clauder, who has succeeded
the late Joseph Clauder as leader of
the Clauder band. Mr.. Clauder is at
work on the march, and it will be
played every day at the fair. 1t will
be dedicated to the 1914 state fair.
Another big feature planned is to
have all bands on the grounds at GER
tain hour each afternoon play national
airs as one band.
Plans for music down town each
night are being made by the Citizens
Business league state fair committee.
1t is the intention of the committee to
make Milwaukee each night of fair
week a city of light and music.
