BIOGRAPHIES To JUGGLING

No Magic. Just Hard. Skilful Work.
As boy Rosani, the Juggler, was
fond of spinning his geography or his
slate on one finger. He declares that
he cannot recollect 4 time when he
could not do feats OF juggling. One
memorable day he saw jugglor. Re-
turning home, he began to spin plates,
instead of geography or q slate, and
to do many other things that he had
seen.
Those who see his work are
charmed with the ease with which he
does 1t and the Joy he takes In per
forming his feats. Not only has he
extraordinary skill, but most Of his

CATCHING UP WITH CHINA
(St. Joseph Gazettel


Gradually. very gradually, civiliza-
tion is catching up with the Chinese.
The University of California has es-
tablished new professionalism Of
keeping people well. Those who adopt
this calling will go into the world
and earn fat fees by not letting folk
fall II. Sickness will mean starvation
to the practitioners; healthy populace
will make them rich.
In China the doctors have never
looked to the sick for business. Only
while their patients were well could
the physicians charge for services rem
dered. When a patron fell Ill the doc
tors income shrunk; when recovered
the convalescent resumed feeling his
medical adviser.
1t is a good scheme, evidently, or
we of the wiser world woul not have
taken up with 1t after having SO many
thousands of years to investigate Its
workings. In time. perhaps, all the
wisdom of the Celestials will become
our by adoption.

VALUE OF A QUART OF MILK

When you sell quart Of milk for
seven cents you are giving more food
for the money than the buyer can get
in most other forms. 1t is twice as
cheap as mutton or fresh fish, six times
as cheap as dried beef, nearly three
times as cheap as beef chuck, 40 per
cent cheaper than pork loin, three
times as cheap as beef sircloin, near
ly three times as cheap as eggs. The
staples that cost less In proportion to
feed value than milk are such things
as potatoes, rice, dates corn meal,
