Garrick Died on His Bed.

A gift of historical interest and I'm
portance has recently been received AT
the Victoria and Albert museum. Da-
vid Garrick's bed has been presented
to the museum by II. f. Trevor, a di-
rect descendant of David Garrick's S
brother George.
The bedstead was made about 1775
for Garrick's villa at Hampton, where
1t remained after Garrick's death and
during Mrs. Garrick's lifetime, and
subsequently until the sale of the villa
in 1864.
The bedstead consists of a wooden
canopy with columns decorated with
ornaments characteristic of the period,
the original green and yellow paint be-
ing well preserved.
The hangings of cotton, painted in
colors with designs of "The Tree of
Life" were made in a factory of the
East Indian company at Mesulipatam,
Madras, and were presented to Garrick
by merchants of Calcutta.-London

SAMPLE OF JAPAN'S BEST TEA

The half pound tins of Formosan
Oolong tea, sent to each guest at the
'Made-in-Japan" Banquet, are the gift
of the Mitsui Bussan Kaisha, Ltd, the
largest importing and exporting COM
pany in the Far East. The Mitsui
company made the contribution at the
request of the Honorable Motojiro Ia
kata, chief of the Bureau of Industry,
Government General of Formosa. The
tea was sent from the New York
branch of the company.
Formosan Oolong tea is the best
brand produced in Japan or any of its
possessions. Statistics from the Japan
Year Book show that it is used extern
sively in this country and in Great
Britain. In England, it is popular
for mixing with black tea. thus height

sells for more than 81 a pound in the

Distributors of Banquet Extra.
The Japanese newsboy suits and
bells worn by the ten students who
delivered this Banquet Extra of the
Daily Missourian, were furnished by
the Asahi, one of the largest papers
of Japan. through the courtesy of T.
Asugimura, editOr-in-chief, and s.

tors of the paper.
Every big paper in Japan furnishes
its newsboys with these suits which
bear the insignia of the paper on
them. The Asahi newsboys wear the
symbol of the rising sun, for that is
what Asahi means. When the news
boys carry the gogai, or japanese ex-

jingle like sleigh bells when they run.
The bells are prescribed by law.
A picture of the banquet newsboys
will be taken tomorrow morning and
sent to the Asahi to be published in

they will be put to good use during
the hot summer months in America"
although in the Korean language it
was expressed somewhat differently.
Korea has for six years been Jap

is now Chosen. In these six years
under Japanese direction wonderful
advancement has been made in the
peninsula. Extended Improvements
have been made in living conditions

trades of practically every sort, re-

methods of farming have been intro
duced by Japanese government ex-
perts and crops are now raised on land
that for centuries practically was al

WHITEWASH MIXTURE

If your poultry house, stable
or hog barn is infested with in
sects and you want to have
clean, fresh, attractive interiors
in your buildings, try the follow
ing mixture: Stake five quarts
of lime with hot water to the con-
sistency of cream. To this add one
pint Of zenoleum or a coal tar
product, and one pint of kerosene.
Dilute until it can be applied
with a brush or spray pump. The
coal tar product kills disease
germs, the kerosene destroys
mites and the lime whitens the
walls.
