FAN MEANS MUCH I'M JAPAN
Much Significance, According
AS Ii Is Used.

1t is no eXaggeration re say that in
Japan everybody carries q fan, and
fan means great many things, ac-
cording as it is used.
There is an enormous variety of
fans. The cheapest and most usual
forms are familiar to everyone. One
OF the most curious varieties is the
iron war fan. This was invented in
the eleventh century for the use of
military commanders, either for direc-
ton of their soldiers or as a shield for
defence. 1t is made of leather or iron
The water fans are made of bamboo.
and are thinly lacQuered, SO that they
may be dipped in water to secure extra
GOODNESS While tanning. Another kind
is the revolving white fan, which clings
arOuLd its stick, and can be rolled up
Another strong, fiat paper fan is used
as bellows TO blow the charcoal fire in
the kitchen.
The "agi' are folding fans. They
are painted with flowers and tied with
white silk. These are the court fans,
and different flowers are appropriated
by different great families.
Sometimes an innocent-looking fan
case holds a dagger, while preachers
carry notes on their sermons in theirs.
All the old legends are told by the ar
rangement Of houses, figures and birds
painted on the faces of the fans. An
endless etiquette is involved in the use
of fans.
With the Japanese, in fact, the fan
is an emblem of life. The rivet end is
the starting point, and as the rays of
the fan expand so the road of life
Wldens out towards O prosperous fu-
ture.

The Overt Act AGAIN.

Billy and Memo were great friends.
Billy was a goat and Memo a young
thoroughbred bull. They spent many
hours each day, heads together, push
ing one another about, the bulls great
er weight doing all the pushing. The
whole barn lot was dug up by Billy's
sharp hoofs. One day, when engaged
in their favorite pastime, Nemo's stub
by horns became locked in Billys curly
ones. 1t seemed for a time that they
could not LET CO." Then Memo gave
mighty toss Of his head throwing
Billy clear over him. Billy landed
right side up with a shrill cry that
seemed to say, you're too dinged
rough" He pranced around in front
Of Memo and with a mighty burst of
speed planted a knockout" blow in
the center of Nemo's forehead. With
stit1ed moan, Memo fell to the ground
for the count" Billy surveyed the
wreck, then strobe haughtily away,
but never after were Billy and Memo

Caring for Watch at Night.

The care of the watch at night or
when it is not in use is an important
item, concerning which the bureau Of
standards states: Eat night, or when
the watch is not in use, it is desirable
to leave the watch in the same posi-
ton as during the day, and preferably
in some place where 1t will not be
subject to any great temperature
change. If it is desirable to leave the
watch in a horizontal position during
the night for the sake of compensat-
ing any considerable gaining or losing
of the watch In the pendant-up posi-
ton, to avoid marked temperature
changes should be observed, and the
regularity with which such a change
of position is carried out may be as
important as regularity of winding.

Feast of Easter.

Just as the Trinity found It's con
ception in the ancient worship Of the
three divinities of the Nile-Osiris,
Isis, and Horus-and the feast of
Christmas perpetuated the Scandina-
Wan Yuletide, so the great festival of
Easter continued and combined two
great pagan and Jewish celebrations.
For the Christians of Jerusalem it
took the place of the Jewish passover ;
among the converted pagans of north
ern Europe it gradually replaced the
worship of Ostara or Eastre, the per
sonification of the morning or the sa-
cred East, the goddess of spring and
the opening year.

YES! LIFT A CORN

Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or callus so il lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus IOosens so it can be
lifted off. root and all, without pain.
A small bottle Of freezone costs very
little at Gny drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin. ~r'
If your druggist hasn't any freezone

from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

Germs of Malaria Hibernate in Man

public health service, went mosquito
hunting in Mississippi between Febru-
airy and June, 1915. He wanted to
find out where the malaria germs hi
bernated. There is little on no ma
laria during the winter. He caught
more than 1000 anOpheles mosquitoes,
all females, but not one of them CON
tanned the parasites. At the same
time he examined the blood of lisa
human beings and found that 492 of
them carried the germs.
From this he came to the conclusion
that man and not the mosquito is re-
sponsible for perpetuating malaria
from season to season. Which leads
the Scientific American to suggest
that the way to rid mosquitoes of ma
laria is to exterminate men.
