SOFT BERTH FOR RUSSIAN
His knowledge of Japanese Super
fetal, But 1t Secured Him a
Professorship.

The war in Europe and rumors OF
war nearer home have given occasion
to Japanese papers to publish some
"reminiscences of the war with Russia.
When peace was concluded between
Japan and Russia the study of the
japanese language became something
like craze among Russians. At Har-
bin, for instance, Japanese were in
great demand as teachers of their
mother tongue. Many japanese bar.
bers and laundrymen shut up their
shops and became instructors of jap
anese- As in most cases the instruc,
ton was not conducted on a systemat.
ic method, many Russian students OF
japanese only succeeded in acquiring
a smattering of the language. Some
time ago Japanese interpreter who
taught japanese to Russian railway
men at Hardin, received letter from
one of his whilom pupils asking for a
certificate OF his proficiency. AS a
matter of fact, his knowledge of JAP
anese does not extend beyond what
may be called pidgin Japanese, but a
certificate was forwarded to him as
required. A few weeks later the in
terpreter was surprised to receive a
letter from the Russian, Informing
him that he had been engaged by the
government as professor of japanese
at monthly salary of 500 roubles.

Women Who Are Sea Captains.

America is the only country where
the full title of captain" has been be
slowed upon women This was strik-
ingly illustrated few years ago by q

which refused to grant a yachtmas-
ters certificate to Lady Ernestine
Brudenell Bruce. a well-known yachts
woman of England who had thorough
Iy prepared herself for the examina-
ton in seamanship and navigation.
She appeared before the board of
trade and asked to take the examina-
ton, pointing out that she merely de-
sired authority to command her Own
yacht, and had no intention of serving
on board other ships. The board of
trade, nevertheless, refused 20 grant
her request, on the ground that it
could not permit a woman to be ex-
am1ned for masters" certificate, as
the word master clearly implied that
only men were eligible, not taking in
to consideration the broader meaning
of the word.

IL don't think So"
But | don't think you under

Must | add the burden Of my
affliction to them?"
MY dear Margie, you cannot
by any possibility take away that
burden. Fate has taken it outsof
your hands. You are his wife and

his part as you must bear yours.

that all l shall ask OF him Is the
material and physical comfort
with which he and you have sc
generously surrounded me, 1t will
make 1t easier. / am worse thar
a dead wife, Mrs. Selwin; worse
than an unfaithful wife, for If
were dead in time he could forget
me, and If l had been unfaithful
he could divorce me.
Now, whenever he thinks OF
me he must understand that my
greatest suffering is not for my
self, but for him, and that must
add to his troubles in spite of all
l can do to make him feel that
he is perfectly free to live his
own life in the future"
That is just it, dear Margie.
Dick is not free. He can never be
free as long as you are alive and
lying here helpless. Your as
sumption that he can throw off
all responsibility except that of
seeing that you have purely ply
steal care, shows him as well as
me that for some reason you have
lost faith in him."

nail on the head. IL / could not

dear Mrs. Selwin. After a man
Is tired out with the problems of

to come home to-this.
AT first he probably will be
hurt and think ] am queer to in
sist that he shall practically live
away from me, at the other end of
your beautiful big house, but aft
err little he will be glad"
But, my dear Margie, there is
one thing you have not taken into
consideration. A man of Dick s
temperament needs responsible
ity of just this kind"
l laughed Historically. This
is the first time, dear Mrs. Selwin,
have been able to find any rea-
son why l should be afflicted in
this way, but if 1t Is for the stabil-
izihg of Dicks character and the
Strengthening of his will perhaps

That was your despair instead
of your courage talking" said
Mrs. Selwin quietly.
II could not bear 1t, dear
friend" | said as l held out my
hands to her. THE only way ]
can keep from going insane is to
cut myself off from everyone as
much as possible. If | were to
allow myself to watch for Dicks
comings and regret his goings ]
would probably begin to ask more
and more of his time. You know
that most sick people are very
selfish.

member and try to make Dick I'M

Thin Folks Who
Want TO Get Fat
Increase In Weight Ten Pounds
or More.

Increase In Weight Ten Pounds
or More.
I'D certainly give most any
thing to be able to fat up a few
pounds and stay that way" de-
clares every excessively thin man
or woman. Such a result is not
impossible, despite past failures.
Most thin people are victims OF
mal-nutrition, condition which
prevents the fatty elements oil
food from being taken up by the
blood as they are, when the pow
ers of nutrition are normal. In
stead of getting into the blood,
much of the fat and flesh produc-
ing elements stas in the intestines
until they pass from the body as
waste.
To correct this condition and
to produce healthy, normal,
amount of fat, the nutritive pro-
cesses must be artifieially sup
piled with the power which ma
ture has denied them. This can
probably best be accomplished by
eating a Sargol tablet with every
meal. Sargol is careful combi-
nation of six splendid assimilative
agents. Taken with meals they
mix with the food to turn the sug-
ars and starches of what you have
eaten into rich, ripe nourishment
for the tissues and blood and its
rapid effect has been in many
cases reported remarkable. Re-
ported gains of from ten to twen-
ty-five pounds in a single month
are by no means infrequent. Yet
its action is perfectly natural and
absolutely harmless. Sarg0 il
sold by Crown Drug Co., Tacoma,
WASH, and other druggists every
where and every package con-
tains a guarantee Of weight in
crease or money back.
NOTE:-Sargol is recommend
ed only as a flesh builder and
while excellent results in cases of
nervous indigestion, etc., have
been reported, cares should be
taken about using 1t unless a gain
of weight Is desired.
