HERMIT's FARE COSTS LITTLE
Reputed "Holy Man" of Japan Sub
sists on Laurel Leaves and Few
Raw Potatoes Daily.

A hermit who has set up his private
shrine by the wayside calls himself
the incarnation of Fudosama, the god
of fire. This mysterious man makes
his abode in a little coop near the
botanical gardens, paying monthly
rental of 1925. On the plaster just
below the paper window is written:
THE worshiping place of the wood
eating hermit"
Day and night one can see the flare
of fire on the paper window and low
voice can be heard, says the East and
West News. Every passer feels 8
queer sensation as he goes by. The
visitor Knocked at the dismal-looking
entrance. The one who came to an
swer was the mysterious man. He
looked to be about fifty-five and In his
brawny and reflective features he
showed a magnetic smile.
1t seems he began his pious life by
scorching his body with lighted
candle to save the life of his sick
child. He tasted q days and prac-
ticed water meditation. The child re-
covered. His faith grew stronger. For
80 years past he has touched no rice
or other cereal. Before the visitor he
chewed some laurel leaves. Fifty of
these, five raw potatoes, little salt
and water. were his daily fare. He Is
said to effect miraculous cures.

Fifty Feet of Snow in July.

Snow 80 feet deep within Is miles
of Santa Fe. n NJ, on the Fourth OF
July Is a fact which is likely to cause
n good many people TO revise their
ideas of the Great American Desert
of which so much is heard In the East.
Visitors at Santa Re lake and to the
top of the lake and Penitente peaks
found snow cornices around the crest
of the crater overlooking the lake
basin which sloped off gently from the
top, the outer edge OF the snow break
ing off abruptly In walls which ranged
from 20 TO so feet In height. There
is no doubt from the measurements of
these snow preciplces that the snow
fall In midwinter must have been Is
TO 20 feet In places and that the peaks
were clothed In solid mass of snow
from bottom 10 summit. There were
still masses of snow scattered all
round the lake which were still four or
FIVE feet high. But for the warm
rains that come later. snow probably
would lie In the basin from years end
to years end. Despite the hot July
sun. the mir Is so cool Mt the peak
level. more than 10000 feet above the
sen, that the snow cornlces melted
very slowly.

In France Woman Usually
Is MAN of the Family

The French woman Is the man" Of
the family as rule. This was Illus
trated In our hotel 10 Paris. where
madame attended 10 the Office and ran
everything while she kept her hus-
band on the go from early till late do
ing the upstairs work. Practically all
the "chambermalds" In Paris are men.
The first thing we noticed on reach
ing Paris was a woman cab driver.
Most of the street hneksters and vend-
ers are women-but they are husky
specimens, who are well able TO look
out for themselves. Some OF the cries
of the hucksters arc very musical. We
are specially taken with the call of
tho fishwomen. who In announcing for
instance bon good
mackerel"-would sing regular little
song.
AS you go along through Paris you
are struck with the large number OF
women who run stores and all kinds
OF enterprises. They invariably keep
strict accounts, and after closing
hours they will BIO seen porting over
their ledgers. II seems rather strange
that the French women should never
have made any special demand for
the suffrage or other rights OF wom-
en"-perhaps because they realize that
they already rule the roost.-Paris

Poultry Scratchings
BY C. S. Anderson of the Colorado
Agricultural College.

II you take pride In marketing good
eggs at good price, consider the fol-
lowing:
Do not keep mongrel stock. They
are not high producers. and their eggs
are not uniform as to size and color.
Keep laying hens separated from sit
ting hens.
Gather eggs twice daily In warm
weather.
The sale of infertile incubator eggs
never will help you to establish high
er market price for your product.
Separate the male birds from the
flock except during the breeding sea-
son. Fertile eggs are poor keepers.
Market eggs in a standard egg case.
Never haul TO town over rough roads
or In an open basket or pan exposed
TO the hot sun.
You win have a larger number OF
"hrsts" II you market at least twice
a week.
In keeping eggs. provide dry. cool.
well ventilated place. Fertile eggs
must be kept below 6s degrees to check

Eggs are affected easily by had
odors. DO not keep In a masty grain
bin. or In the vegetable cellar, or
where they can absorb the odors OF
kerosene and gasoline.

PERIL OF FLY NOT
FULLY REALIZED
BY Or. SAMUEL c. DIXON
of Health of Pennsyl-


Commissioner of Health of Pennsyi-
vania
Reams have been printed about the
danger from the house fly. Despite all
that has been said 1t is self-eyldent
fact that people do not understand how
real Is the danger from these pests. IL
they did a single season would be suf-
ficient to wipe out the dangerous null
sanees. Let people once understand
the part that the fly plays in the trans
mission of disease and they will look
upon anyone who maintains condi-
ton which breeds them as public
enemy to be summarily dealt with.
There is much wasted advice about
swatting the fly and trapping the fly.
What we must learn TO do is TO exter-
inmate It by doing away with all
breeding places.
While 1t has not been definitely
proven what the fly has to do with In
fantile paralysis. we have good reason
to believe that 1t takes a part in the
spread of the disease. That they can
and do carry the germs of typhoid
fever and other diseases we know. 1t

baby's crib.
Thousands of children under one
year of age die annually who would be

America Was Discovered by

century, and. according to legend,
fitted out vessel and sailed west

island supposed to contain the para
disc once tenanted by Adam and Eve.
He was accompanied by IA monks. and
the ship was .victualed for seven
years"
After sailing forty days and forty
nights they came to an island, where
they found "a hall with tables spread
with good meat and drink" They
then sailed on for a long time, and
came to another island, wherein We're
the whitest and greatest sheep they
ever saw" After stopping for a time
they proceeded with the voyage. and
came to q third island, called the
paradise of birds" After wandering

turned TO Ireland, where they aston

In spite Of the wild and improba bic
features of this legend, 1t was for
centuries accepted as truth. and the
Spanish government sent out several
expeditions In search of the islands of
st. Brendan. The st. Brendan legxnd

have entered into contract with the
Redpath Lyceum Company Of Chicago.
one of the oldest Lyceum companies

It is the desire of the men behind the
movement to supplement the work al
ready being done in the city for high,
grade entertainment, and they have
undertaken this course in the name of
the community at large. No one will
profit financially. ANY surplus re-
naming from the season will be ap-
piled on talent for the next year.
The attractions and dates, for
which active sale of tickets will soon
be undertaken, are as follows: Killar-

''Now what do you suppose the

wants with the names Of all the minis
ters of Imperial Valley?" asked Fred
Phelan who is in charge of this line

Evidently the state wishes to sug-

or perhaps have each minister be sure

ing his Sunday talks OF the people.
Anyway Mr.. Phelan is anxious to
know what use will be made of the
names of the pastors of the valley in
connection with his work here.
