EARTHQUAKE DAMAGES
BEAUTIFUL JAP CITY

Kobe, Japan, (by maiD.-Damage

November %, which was briefly re-
greater than was first indicated.
Tho city Of Kobe, one of the most
beautiful places in Japan, stretching
along the water front at the foot OF
picturesque mountains, found, after the
subsistence of the shock, that a ma
jority of its residences on the hill
slopes had suffered great damage. In
this section are some of the finest
houses, both Japanese and foreign, and
many of them were so shaker that
roofs fell in and walls tumbled into the
streets.
1t was the most severe shock en-
perienced in central Japan in rs years.
In kioto. the big railroad station lost
most OF its windows and the wallis
sagged in several places. The disturb-
ance was accompanied by a roar. like
the booming of a great cannon, with a
heated, oppressive atmosphere, which
caused an ever greater panic than the
damage justified. No one was killed
and no buildings were entirely demol-
ished, but cracked wallis and d%islodged
chimneys were general throughout cen
trail Japan.

HEALTH HINTS BY BACON.

Francis Bacon was born in 1861. He
was delicate and sickly in his youth. In
1897 he published his essays. The ex-
tracts quoted below are aiken from the
essay, OF Regiment of HEALTH" He
died in 1926. probably of pneumonia. He
exposed himself in making an expert
mcnt to determine whether cold would
check p~utrefaction. He packed a fresh
ly cleaned chicken with snow-and in
consequence had a chill, followed by
fever, and death ensued in n week.
Quotations from the essay follow:
There is a wisdom in this beyond
the rules Of physic: a mans own OBJ
servation, what he finds good of, and
what he finds hurt of. is the best
physic to preserve health. But it is
a safer conclusion to say: This
agreeth not we'll with me, therefore I
will not continue it, than this: 4 find
no offense of this, therefore l may use
it, For strength of nature in youth
passes over many excesses, which are
owing a mar till his age. Discern Of
the coming on Of years, and think not
to do the same things still; for age will
not be defied.
Examine thy customs of diet. sleep,
exercise. apparel. and the like; and try,
in anything tho shalt judge hurtful, to
discontinue it little by little; but so as.
if thou dost find any inconvenience by
the change, thou come back to it again,
for it is hard to distinguish that Which
is generally held good and wholesome
from that which is good particularly
and fit for thine own body.
TO be free minded and cheerfully
disposed at hours of meat and Of sleep
and OF exercise, is one of the best pre-
cepts Of long lasting. An for the pas
slons and studies of the mind, avoid
envy. anxious fears, anger Sretting in
wards, subtle and knotty inquisitions.
joys and exhilarations in excess, sad
ness not communicated.
Entertain hopes; mirth rather than
joy; variety Of delights rather than
surfeit of them; wonder and admira-
ton. n therefore novelties; studies
that fill the mind with splendid and H.
lustrlouS objects, as histories, fables
and CONCENTRATIONS of nature.
II commend rather some diet for
certain seasons, than frequent use Of
physics, except it be grown into q GUS
tom.
"Desrise no new accident in your
body, but ask opinion of 1t. In sick
ness, respect health principally; and in

physicians are some of them so

others are so regular in proceeding ac-
cording to art for the disease, as they

Why rheumatism Comes

8Y VA1ENIINE MOTT PIERCE, u. =.
BY vAIENT1NR MOTT PIERCE, II. D.

A close connection exists between
these two cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or it's
salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance Of their

In 1916 the crop was not as heavy,
but the yields in many districts were
very large. So large. indeed, was the
acreage under cultivation in 1915 that
the resulting crop proved too large to be
NIL threshed the same fall. 1t Owe
loaded railroads, and made marketing
SLOW. A less amount of fall blowing
was done than would have been done
In a less heavy year, because the aver
g farmer was too busy with his
%threshing. All these conditions nee
essarily reacted upon the acreage
seeded in the spring of 1915. Add to
this that labor last year, owing to the
great number of Canadians who have
enlisted. was scarce and high-priced,
and one factor in the decreased yield
smaller acreage under crop was evil
dent.
Another factor is that this year
Western Canada has experienced, in
commOn with the entire North Ameri-
can continent. conditions that tave
been less favorable to the production
Of big crops. The conditions have re-
suited in smaller yield per acre and
reduced grade of grain in certain local.
tiles.
The average yield of wheat in the
three western provinces is estimated
by the government at about 16 bushels
per acre, oats 43 bushels, and barley
q bushels.
The financial value Of their crops to
Western Canadian farmers has been
greater this year than ever before.
Owing to the high prices of grain that
are prevailing, returns have been re-
ceived that are extremely profitable.
With wheat standing at the present
time at over $3.50 per bushel at the
Great lakes. a wheat crop at present
figures would pay the farmer, ever
supposing lac had only the average OF
16 bushels per acre, over $1,000 per
acre. A large number are receiving
5000 per acre-some have received
$3.50. and q few even mor than that.
