and too little soap women do not gel
the same dazzling whiteness in their
washed clothes as do the United

1.-THE eye paining brillancy OF our
white clothes is due to the fact that
we wash with our heads as well as our
lands, and we let soap do its proper
share of the work.
"Just enough water to thoroughly
wet the wash is sufficient" the SER

Chinese Gentleman In Letter Declares
People Of the United States Eat
Meat in Chunks.

II you we're to travel through Asia

the peculiar persons. Have you heard
of the Chinese gentleman who Travelled
throughout the United States and
wrote a letter back to his friends dc.
scribing us? He said:
You cannot civilize these Ameri.
cans. They are beyond redemption
They will go weeks and months with.
out touching a mouthful of rice. but
they eat flesh Of bullocks and sheep in
enormous quantities. Nor do they eat
their meat cooked in small pieces. It
IL carried into the room In large
chunks, often half raw, and then they
cut and slash and tear 1t apart. They
eat with knives and prongs; It makes a
civilized being perfectly nervous. One
fancies himself In the presence of
sword swallowers.
"They have no sense Of dignity. for
they may be found walking with wom-
en-. They even sit down at the same
table with women. and the latter are
served first. Yet the women are to be
pitied, too. On festive occasions, which
Americans call balls. they are dragged
around room to the accompaniment
of the most hellish music"
