The dead body OF James Reed,

near the roadside not far from the

week. On the Thursday preceding

is presumed that death came as a re-
suit Of intoXication and exposure
during the night. His wife stated
that Reed had $1,000 when he left
home, and examination Of his pock-
cts showed that they contained ex-
actly $1O.j1 when the body was
found. Inquiry was made by Rural
Policeman J. II. Thomas, and the
finding was to the effect that the de-

JAPANESE WOMEN WORK HARD
Little Consideration Is Shown Even to

Rising Sun.

! II wasn't long before we landed be-
fore we saw the japanese woman, the
type that old Japan creates. She and
some others were having a bridge
party. Sounds inviting, but II wasn't.
About 20 Of them were driving piles
for a new bridge. The sun was scorch-
Ing, the umbers enormous. and the
man overseer was abusing them. For
weren't they only women? without
education and with old Japan's idea Of
women crushing them down. they
deemed themselves pretty fortunate to
have even such work and the princely
sum Of ten cents a day.
| No. It isn't enough for old Japan
that the women should have baby
every year. They must work. work like
men and animals. In Nikko we could

A word should be said about how to
take milk. It should be eaten, not
swallowed as a beverage, DR.. J. H.
Kellogg asserts In Good Health.
All foods need to be mastlcated. The
calf and the nursing infant chew milk.
The movements Of the jaws and the
sucking movements executed by an In.
FAINT In nursing induce IN abundant
How Of saliva, which dilutes 1t, and to
a high degree promotes Its digestion.
Milk, when swallowed rapidly us a
beverage Is likely to form In the
stomach large and hard curds, which
are very slowly digested. Many per-
sons who suffer from taking milk In
this way imagine themselves to be I'M
able to take milk, and so abandon Its
use.
Milk should be slipped slowly and
with a sucking movement of the
throat, so as to secure liberal admlx-
ture Of saliva. BY this means the for
nation Of hard, indigestlble curds may
be prevented.
MIX also must be taken In right
quantities and In right combinations.
It cannot be denied that milk dlgests
better when taken by itself or In very
simple combinations than when mixed
with large variety Of other food
