spirit of the child The underlying
IDEA is that the infant by hearing the
sacred music is inspired to sense of
virtue and high morality. 1t is alsL
believed that if the player is not man
of virtue the sound of the string in
strument will not be harmonious. The
child being named the birth and name
will be formally reported to the spirit
of Amaterasu Omikami, the Sun God
dess, who is additionally regarded as
ancestral founder of the imperial Jap
auese house. Also a communication
IS made before the sanctuary of the
Imperial predecessors in the Toxic pal
ace. On the same day the infant prince
will be given a hot bath of water tax
en- from the sacred we'll in the COM
pound of the imperial palace.
On the 5Oth day after his birth the
infant prince will be taken to the i'm
perial palace for his first audience
with the Emperor and Empress.

Japanese Prince Is Feted
AS Good Omen For Nation

ed to The Japanese army, January 3,
1@o5.
Ohm the day of the birth of the new
prince, while the Emperor was review
irg the troops on the grounds just OPP
uposite the Aoyama palace where the
Empress was confined, she was able to
see the fleet of aeroplanes and aiships
manoeuvering over the parade ground,
and, accompanied by her court ladies,
she was seen to waive flags in saluta-
ton to this newest arm of Japanese
defence.
Fulfilling hereditary custom, the
Emperor has presented a sword to the
infant prince. This is a token of pro-
lection from all manner of evil things,
and is a survival of the former wide
spread custom. of presenting every
Japanese bay baby with a sword rep
resenting the soul of the Japanese
samurai or warrior. Another tradition
called for the presentation of smaller
sword to all baby girls, the weapon to
be used for self-destruction in case the
child were attacked beyond means of
relief from family or friends.
Within a few days a religious cere-
mony will be held in the presence of
the infant prince. Specially appointed
court scholars will read selected pas
sages fro mthe books of ancient sages,
Confucius and otherrs, and the court
musicians will play sacred airs on
harps and flutes to earn and purify the

Germs on Stamps.

Eternal vigilance is not only the
price Of liberty, as our fathers knew
it, liberty plain and unadorned, but
recent scientific discoveries have ad-
ded thereto the admonition that eter-
nal vigilance is the price of freedom
from many varieties of germs un-
dreamed of by the fathers Of the re-
public. We are now told to beware of
the normal bacterial fora of postage
stamps! The cry Of alarm is raised
by the New York Medical Record.
Don't lick the stamps, no matter
what their denomination. They may
be bacteria laden and under certain
conditions may easily convey patho-
genie types, especially colon diph-
iberia and tuberculosis bacillus. The
writer Of the article on these stamps
that are afflicted or are under suspi-
.cion of harboring bacteria fora ad-
vocates a movement Ito have installed
in all places dispensing postage
stamps moistening device of some
kind, and says that this movement
could be started with beneficial re-
suits in the postoffices of the United

Lesson to United States in British Solution of Lack

SIX WEEKS COURSE

Special Regiments Composed of Men of Superior Education Set Aside as Training Corps With Arrange

London, Eng, February 1.-(Special.) ) One of the great problems that Eng land has had to face in raising her four million army is of peculiar inter est to America, for the United States would have to face exactly the same problem, if at any time she had to raise large volunteer army. That is the supply of trained officers. The United States had to face the problem on a small scale in the Spanish American war, but that was war on so small a scale, compared with the present world struggle, that she was able to draw on the retired officers of the regular army, on men who had served in the civil war and on the officers of her national guard To some extent England, of course. has filled up the gaps in the same way. but her retired officers were only drop in the ocean of trained men needed. and her territorial officers, cor responding to those of the National Guard In the United States, were all mobilized with their regiments in the first week of the war.
 England, slow as usual to prepare for trouble and brilliant in Improvisation, has solved the problem and military critics are agreed that her new army has nothing to be ashamed of in it's officering. Its officers, and especially its young officers, who, of course, are the hardest to provide in circumstances like those of the present war, are sec ond to none in the European armies, de- spite the fact that more than 90 per cent of them never thought of soldier ing before the war broke out, and that a very large proportion of them had already SaftlA6 down n oar in nj vii life.

H OW TO GET RID
 OF DANDRUFF
This Home Made Mixture Removes pandruff and Stops the Hair
 From Falling Out

The following simple recipe which can be mixed at home, or put up by any drug gist will quickly remove dandruff and stop the halr from falling out:
 To half pint of water add 1 oz of bay rum. 1 small box of Barbo Compound and 14 oz. of glycerine. These are all sim- pie ingredients that you can buy from any druggist at very little cost, and mix them yourself. Apply to the scalp once a day for two weeks. then once every other week until the mixture is. used. A half pint should be enough to rid the hair of dandruff and kill the dandruff germs. It stops the hair from falling out and re- lieves itching and scalp disease.
 Although it is not a dye. it acts upon the hair roots and will darken streaked, faded gray hair in 10 or 15 days. It pro- notes the growth of the hair and makes harsh hair soft and glossy.-Adv.
