Baron Takagi. Navy Surgeon,
Blames Many Ills to Adop-
ton of Foreign Customs

The JapaneSe-and especially the
women OF Japan-are deteriOrating
physically owing to the adoption Of
foreign dress and foreign manners. &C
cCrding to Dr. Baron X Takagr, sur
geon Of the Japanese navy and a
member OF the House OF Peers, de-
clares the Toxic Japan Advertiser.
Baron Takagi has been interested
for a long time in questions concern
ing the public health and has studied
and collected considerable data on
Japanese vital statistics Recently he
delivered a speech before the students
of the JosHi Dali Gakuin. the women
university at Metro, near Toxic. in the
course of which he said that the ply
steal condition Of the women of Japan
is fast declining. Extracts from this
speech are translated here:
The statistics of the deaths of wo-
men in Japan are shocking. In most
Of the civilized countries as a rule the
death rate for men is higher than that
for women. In Japan the reverse is
true. This state Of affairs did not
exist In the early years of this century
but has come about suddenly only very
recently.
This increase OF deaths among wo-
men Is especially noticeable among
young women. The number of deaths
among young women is alarming be-
cause 1t means fewer births and weak
er children.
Compared with England. France or
Germany the death rate for women in
Japan Is three times as high as in
those countries.
Mothers Die Early.
Women of Japan in their 30s die
oftener than do the men of that age.
The average age at which woman
who has borne children die used to
be SO. Recently 1t has dropped to 81.
Many children thus lose their mothers
when they are very young and this
tends to increasesthe number of way.
ward youths. o. ~.
I'm the civilized countries Of Europe
the death rate in normal times is
steadily decreasing and the average
man is living longer. But In Japan
the general death rate Is increasing"
Baron Takagi attributes the decline
In the physical vigor of the Japanese
partly to the increased number OF stu

dents and their habits OF study. In
Japan, he continues, scholarship and
physical neglect are considered to be
properly synonymous. The Japanese
seem TO think that II is a reproach Tor
an educated man to be physically Wig
orous. In western countries, especial
ly in America, the reverse is true. In
other cOutries the ideal education is
that which will make a strong body as
we'll as a strong mind. In the decade
between 1901 and 1910 there was an
increase OF one and one-haIf per cent
in the number of cases of tuberculosis
in Japan and this was due to the
habits Of the japanese student

Feel the Heat More.
During the summer months there
are now more cases of proStration and
sunstroke than formerly and this Is
due to the physical deterioration of
the race"
Initiating foreigners has led to most
of the new physical ills of the Jap
anese, according to Baron Takagi. He
advised the girls who composed his
audience against following the foreign
custom OF binding the waist They
should be careful about the way they
wear their obs, he said. and should
cling to their Japanese kimonos in.
stead Of adopting the round sleeve
coats of the foreigners. The latter,
he said, are conducive to colds be-
cause they cause the wearer to per-
spire. He Is also in favor of elinging
to the Japanese geta instead of taking
up the shoes Of the foreigners. He
also maintains that the Japanese have
suffered through adopting the foreign
custom Of wearing hats. Before the
Japanese wore hats, he says, they
never had colds.
Japanese women are less able to
nourish their children today than for.
merly, Baron Takagi maintains, and
he has a novel explanation for this.
He says that it Is due to the innoVa-
lions In the shape of waterworks in
the larger cities of Japan. Formerly
the women had to drag water from
wells and carry it to their homes and
this developed their chests and their
ability to give nourishment to their
infants, he maintains. Today all they
have to do is tosturn d faucet; this has
led to physical degeneration, is his
theory. -

100000 IRpN CROSSES
AWARDED ~ GERMANY.

BERLIN, Germany-The number of
iron crosses thus far granted to Ger.
man soldiers is near the half million
mark. Statistics up to March 81. &C
cording to the Cologne Gazette,
showed a total of 33S,261 crosses OF
the second class. Even If this rate
has only been maintained since-and
undoubtedly it has been exceeded,
considering the increased number Of
men under arms--it would give a
total exceeding 10000.
In the period mentioned, 6,48S iron
crosses Of the first class had also
been granted. The holders of these
must previously have won the second
class decoration. The crosses issued
up to March 81 had cost about $500
900 marks. -. d:
In the campaign Of 1901, 1871
iron crosses of the second-class were

belief coincides with that of a large majority of the men in the cattle trade. When packe r s offer to contract beef cattle, owners of same can judge that they are getting some expert opinion on market probabilities, and it is comparatively safe to reject the offer, and play the market out.
 The run today is 6,000 head, being cut down slightly by the Decoration Day holiday, and prices average steady. Buyers and orders to get cattle lower to- day, but aside from slowness on heavy cattle the market was fully steady, with some strength at the close. Big natives brought $8.S5, yearlings the same, bulk of beef steers $8.25 to $8.75, the first shipment of Star k e, Nebraska, string of steers $8.75, 1136 pounds aver age. About 20 loads of pulp fed Colorados arrived and sold at S8. 25 to S9. 70, and north Texas fed steers sold in the quarantine division at $7.75 to $9.15. Five loads of little Mexican grass steers from south Texas sold at $6.45. Stockers and feeders sell firmly, feeders at $7.75 to $8.50, and stock steers largely at $7.00 to $S. 50, as receipts of same en- brace a wide degree of quality.
 Hogs arrived to the number of 12,000 head, which included a train bought at an up river mar ket and shipped here for slaught- CT, the price margin recently having been ample to justify this action. Enthusiastic traders opened the market 5 higher to- day paying S7.80, and order buyers paid $7.75, but packers bid. no better than steady, and bought their hogs at $7.60 to S7.70. Packers actions signify that they are willing to pay around present prices for hogs, but are determined to fight any material advance at this time. greatest demand is for weights from ITO to 200 pounds average.
