TOXIC. September 20.-what the
Japanese call western society journal
ism" Is gaining a strong foothold in
Japan. Both the newspapers and maga-
zines are paying more attention to the
women. Although the practice has not
developed to the extent of the women's 8
page, as it is known In America, the
newspapers make it a particular point
to tell what women are doing, and,
like the magazines, make a speciality
of their history, their fads and their
future.
Among the wives Of the cabinet mem
bers, all of whom are found especially
interesting. the Countess Okuma. con-
sort of the premier, Is constantly held
up as a model, possessing all the vir-
tues for which Japanese women are
famous. She not only presides over
the most celebrated kitchen in japan.
which Is capable of serving thousands
of guests at one time, but she is known
and respected for her noble character
and fine womanly qualities.
The count and countess have been
married now for forty-five years. She,
before her marriage. was Aya-ko, the
eldest daughter of a vassal of the
Shogun. She was sought out by Count
Okuma, who, unlike most Of the young
men Of the turbulent restoration days.
was determined to find a woman Of fine
character and good home training. She
has always devoted herself to her hus-
band. A notable instance was when.
twenty five years ago, the count was
brought home wounded in the leg by
bomb. The physicians declared that
the leg must be amputated. The
countess made a prompt decision when
she was told it was the only way to
save his life, and after the operation
she became more devoted still.

evidence is positive. there is no guess

STATE FIRE PREVENTION DAY
Interest In Observance Of April 30 Is
Daily increasing

The interest in the observance OF
April Both as State Fire Prevention
Day is daily increasing and present
indications are that many communities
will make determined effort to bet
ter ambitions in their localities by the
removal of as many fire hazards as
possible.
The Changers within the State are
taking an active interest in the move
ment and much good is sure TO be the
result of this activity. j. W. Blum,
State Insurance Commissioner, is en-
deavoring to enlist the support of the
Grange in the movement and has re-
Quested the Lecturer of each Grange
to use the idea of Fire Prevention as
the subject for the meeting which will
be held the nearest to April Goth. State
Lecturer c. o. Purinton of Bowdoin-
ham heartily endorses the idea as con-
veyed by his letter to Mr.. Blunt in
which he says, Il heartily endorse
your proposition TO request each
Grange in the State to have a special
program for the study and discussion
of subjects relative to causes and pre-
vention of fire losses in Maine and es-
pecially those occurring in the small
villages and rural sections. ask
every Subordinate Grange Lecturer to
give the subject space in their regu-
lar program as a means of service 10
their community and for the welfare OF
our State
That this is a matter of moment to
the people of Maine there can be no
doubt In most cases a farm fire
means a total loss of the buildings as
there is not obtainable the means of
extinguishment that villages and cities
have. Therefore fire prevention, in
diligently applied makes for better
conditions in the agricultural sections
of our State.
Worthy Master C. S. Stetson of the
State Grange has always been active
in any movement that has for its OBJ
ject the welfare of the State of Maine.
His letter endorsing the idea of fire
prevention should have much weight
and tend to create widespread in
terest in its observance. Mr. Stetson
says, 1T seems to me that the annual
fire loss in the State of Maine is much
larger than it need be. Any move
ment looking toward an intelligent
study as to the causes of fires and a
prevention of the same should meet
with the hearty approval of every citi-
zen of the State Your plan for hav-
ing the Oranges set aside a day for
consideration and discussion of this
subject meets with my approval.
believe that this movement will re-
suit in information and an awakened
public sentiment which will save
many thousands of dollars to the peo-
pie of the State each year"
