JAPAN MAY STRIKE.

Japan has arrived at what many experienced, tolerant, cautions observ- CTS, both Japanese and foreigners, re- gard as the crucial turning point in her national life, says Pulitzer's Re- view for November. Two roads lie in front of the Japanese people and their government. One of these roads is smooth, well-oiled, and offering pe- culiarly strong temptations to militant sons of the Samurai, to those Japan csc, high and low, who seek success mainly by the sword. The other road is not so immediately attractive or promising, but if it be steadfastly followed it will lead to greater Japan whose influence will count far more in world history. South Manchuria and eastern Inner Mongolia-are they to be preserved to China or to be seized and annexed by Japan? This is the rock upon which Japan, if she is moderate and just, may restore her lost prestige; or, acting otherwise, may split irrevocably both her credit and her friendships as a nation bound to China, to Europe, and to ourselves by solemn covenants

NEXT SEASONS GARDEN PLAN
Do Not Overlook important Matter Of
Pruning and Anticipating Most
Careful Cultivation.

Having given thought to the plan
ming of your next seasons fruit, and
to your next seasons vegetable gar.
den, and the variety you wish from
the one and the things you wish to
plant in the other, do not forget the
important matter Of pruning and di-
viding and setting and anticipating
careful cultivation. Get all the gar
den tools and implements which you
will need in working properly. There
will be spades, hoes, lawn mowers,
trowels, knives, sprayers, etc., to
think of and select from the best
devices offered by progressive manu-
facturers. In fruit growing and gar
dening, like in everything else, good
tools facilitate good workmanship
and are great time savers.

weight for her age are good indica-
tions of early maturity. If selecting
more than one SOW, uniformity of the
lot is desirable and important. The
nearer alike the sows the more proba-
bility of the pigs being uniform.
In selecting the herd boar the same
points are essential, except that the
animal should show masculinity. A
strong, broad head and neck, suff1-
cient bone, with strong, straight pas
terms, hook, and knee Joints, are i'm
portant. He should show early matur-
ing characteristics, and have well-de-
veloped testicles. Shields, or thick
plates Of skin, should not show on the
sides of the shoulder before he is one
year of age. A strong, slightly arched
back, with large heart girth, is essen
tial in a first-class boar, for he must
have room for the vital organs, name
ly, heart, lungs, etc. Remember that
the boar is at least half of the herd
as far as breeding is concerned, and
he Is usually more, SO his selection
cannot command any too much care
or patience. Get good boar and he
will pay you we'll:

The brood SOW is the first animal to
select in laying a foundation for a

the chances for success. A good brood
sow must possess depth and length of
body, good heart girth, smooth
shoulders, well-sprung ribs, and long,
deep, well-turned hams. Her sides
should be long, deep, and straight. A
slightly arched, or straight, broad
back is much desired, as it is much
stronger than low back. The back
should carry it's width and the side
lines should be straight. She should
stand up well on her toes and have

COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARKEN IT
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
keep her Locks Dark,
Glossy, Beautiful.

The o!d-time mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth-
er's recipe, and folks are again using
it to keep their hair good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as we are liv-
ing in an age when q youthful appear
ance is Of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays. though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition Of
other ingredients, called "Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur Compound" for
about so cents bottle. It is very pop
ular because nobody can discover It
has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or a soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, tax
ing one small strand at time; by
morning the gray hair disappears, but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that,
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, 1t also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
of abundance which is so attractive.
This ready-to-use preparation is de-
lightful toilet requisite for those who
desire more youthful appearance. It
is not intended for the cure, mitigar

How Not TO Sneeze.

Everyone who attends church or
goes to the theater or other place
where people are assembled knows
how embarrassing it is to have to
sneeze with the usual unpleasant
sounds that accompany such an
outburst Of our real nature, an ex-
change says. Such may very easily
be avoided by thinking quickly and
following simple little rule which
will save us much annoyance.
When the feeling comes over us
which always precedes sneeze, all
we have to do is to lay our finger
across the upper lip directly beneath
the nose and press firmly upon the lip
for a few seconds.
The sneeze will leave without max
ing itself heard.
The same result can be obtained by
laying the finger across the lower lip
Just above the chin and pressing ratn-
er firmly for a few moments.
Either Of these acts will not attract
attention and in almost every instance
the person will be saved the annoy
ance Of disturbing the entire audi
ence.

that just as soap and hot water

internal sanitation is vastly more inn

bowel pores do.

PREPARING THE GARDEN SOIL |
OF Far More Importance Than Most
Gardeners ReaIize-SoiI Must Be
Broken Early.

The preparation Of the garden soil
is Of far more Importance than most
gardeners realize. The vegetables
must have a deep, mellow, friable soil
to hold moisture and promote the life
and development of soil organisms 80
important to the fertile soil.
The soil should be broken early and
vegetation incorporated in time for it
to decay. A large per cent of vege-
table matter usually in its final state
of decomposition called humus is nee
essary. 1t may then be necessary
to rebreak. harrow and cross
harrow in order that a deep mulch may
be had.
Barnyard manure is highly desir-
able where the soil is rather thin or
close. The manure supplies both hui
mus and plant food and for that rea-
son is economical. 1t Is a waste prod
uct at the barn, but valuable to the
gardener.
