shanohai and Salt Fish.

The city of Shanghai imported last
year about $780, 900 yen worth Of salt
fish. The import of salt fish dates
three years back, and began with the
introduction Of salt salmon from Pr'm'
orskaya RUSSIAN littoral province),
salt cod from Kwangtung leased terri
tory, and salt sardines from Nagasakl,
SAYS the Manchurian Daily News. In
addition to salt cod, the leased terri
tory exported 5000 yen worth OF
swordtish last year. This fish, which
owes its name to its likeness to "a
sword in shape as well as in its glis'
tening, scaleless body, is found IN
great abundance in these coast waters.
The local quality is better suited TO
the Chinese palate than imports from
Ningpo and ports on the North China
coasts, and has a promising future on
the Shanghai market. In fact, the
| Chinese are heavy consumers OF this
fish, the total annual import to Shang'
hal reaching 100000 piculs.

Good Bowels Are
An Aid to Growth
Growing Children Need a Mild
Laxotiue to Foster Regular
Bowel Movements.

AS a child grows older it requires
more and more personal attention
from the mother, and al the func-
lions Of the bowels are of the utmost
Importance to health, great attention
should he paid to them.
Diet is of great Importance, and the
mother should watch the effect OF Ger.
tain foods. A food will constipate one
and not another, and SO we have a
healthy food like eggs causing bilious
ness to thousands, and a wholesome
fruit like bananas constituting many.
It is also to be considered that the
child is growing, and great changes
are taking place In the young mar or
young woman. The system has not yet
settled itself to it's later routine.
A very valuable. remedy at this
stage, and one which every growing
boy and girl should be given often or
occasionally, according to the individ-
ual circumstances, is DR.. Caldwelrs
Syrup Pepsin. This is a laxative and
tonic combined, so mild that 1t is
given to little babies, and yet equally
effective In the most robust constitu'
ton. At the first sign Of a tendency
to constipation give a small dose o
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring, and
prompt action will follow in the morn

and bowels but It's tonic properties

The approaching demolition OF the

houses where men and women were
accommodated at two pence per night

JOKE OF ANCIENT VINTAGE
It Has Been Accorded to Many
Nation alities.

A Joke knows no birthplace and no
date of birth. Jests that are sup
posed to be of modern Irish, or French
or German origin can be found In the
writings of the ancient Greeks, who,
perhaps. had them from still earlier
testers. In the Chinese "Hsiao-Lin-
kuang-Chi." or Laughing Book, are
jokes that even in their oriental garb
are much like jokes we have heard in
western tongues. The New York Trib-
une prints one of them:
Two men. Chung and Kung. were
warming themselves before an open
stove. Chung. who was remarkable
for his GOODNESS and loquacity, said to
Kung, who was exceedingly quick-tem-
pered:
my dear Kung, there is something
that should very much like to say
to you. 1t relates to a circumstance
l have observed for little time past.
But, bearing in mind your somewhat
fiery and quarrelsome disposition. l
have hesitated to mention it to you.
However. have at last decided that.
If do not mention the matter to you.
l shall do wrong. and l have conse-
quently determined to ask your per-
mission to speak to you about it"
well. what is it,"
"Your coat, my dear Kung." said
Chung. quietly. "is on fire."
For PHYS sake!" exclaimed Kung,
angrily, jumping up and finding his
coat nearly burned of. why in the
world didn't you tell me before?'
There it goes! What frightful
temper!" Chung murmured, as he
moved away. mo wonder you are

CLEVER WIFE
Knew How to Keep Peace In Family.

It is quite significant, the number of

There is nothing surprising about it.

Postum. which is made of clean, hard
wheat.
1.-TWO years ago I was having so
much trouble with my heart" writes
q lady in Washington. that at times
l felt quite alarmed. My husband took
me to q specialist to have my heart
examined.
"The doctor said he could find no
organic trouble but said my heart was
irritable from something I had been
accustomed to. and asked me to try
and remember what disagreed with
me.
II remembered that coffee always
soured on my stomach and caused me
trouble from palpitation of the heart.
So stopped coffee and began to use
Postum. I have had no further
trouble since.
"A neighbor of ours, an old man,
was so irritable from drinking coffee
that his wife wanted him to drink
Postum. This made him very angry,
but his wife secured some Postum and
made it carefully according to direc-
tions.
"He drank the Postum and did not
know the difference, and is still using
1t to his lasting benefit. He tells his
wife that the coffee is better than 1t
used to be, SO she smiles with him and
keeps peace in the family by serving
Postum instead of coffee"
Name given by the Postum Co..

Postum now comes in two forms:

Instant postum-is a soluble pow
