A Japanese Composing Room.

The most interesting department Of a
Japanese printing plant is the compos-
ing room. Great cases Of type Of all
sizes extend the whole length of the
mammoth room. AS the Chinese and
japanese characters used in printing
office run far into the tens of thou
sands, the life of the compositor must
be continual search for the letter he
desires to use.
The compositors were scuffling around
the aisles Of the room hunting for these
characters and all singing at the tops
of their voices, which apparently caus-
ed them to forget the terrors Of their
work. There seemed to be hundreds Of
them, and the din was deafening.

THE GOOD HEALTH
QUESTION BOX
By DIR. JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG

MANY persons, when they give up the use
INl Of meat. complain of acidity OF the
stomach and conclude at once that starchy
food does not agree with them. So wide
spread is this iuccirect opinion that many
persons are led TO adopt diet containing
as little starch as possible and suffer great
injury from so doing. Starch is one Of
the most important OF all our foodstuffs.
Starch is in the body converted into sugar,
which is the fuel Of the body and supports
the action OF the muscles including the
heart This element is also necessary to
enable the body to destroy poisons and to
defend itself against disease.
The trouble is not that starch is hard
to digest or that It disagrees with most
persons, for the writer in his entire expe-
rience has known Of not moro than five or
six persons with whom starch disagreed
Starch is the most easily dgested of all
foodstuhs-so easily digested, indeed, that
it is impossible TO demonstrate that any
energy whatever Is utilized in its con-
version into sugar The process begins in
the mouth, it continues in the stomach
and is accelerated In the small intestine,
so that at every stage Of it's journey through
into contact with juices that have the power
Of dgesting II.
Now with most persons the difficulty is
not with the digestion Of starch but with
the excessive production of hydrochloric
acid in the gastric Juice. Hydrochlorc acid
makes capital disufecting solution, and
Dame Nature orders large quantities OF 1t
for the disinfection of beefsteak And 1t
is big task at that for nothing needs dis
Infection so badly as meat, unless 1t be
lmburger cheese oysters and a few other
outrageous articles of diet. When per-
son eats heartily of meat diet year after
year, Nature grows accustomed to pro-
ducing this dsinfecting solution in larger
and still larger quantities, until the thing
becomes habituaL And then when 1t is
discovered that meat is doing harm or
must be discarded and the diet is changed
the stomach continues to produce enormous
quantities of hydrochloric acid for which
the system has no need and which creates
the feeling that something is wrong with
the starch-digesting apparatus. In these
cases one will do well TO add to his starChy
foods a quantity of fat, butter, cream or
olive oil, for fats encourage the stomach to
make smaller quantities of the hydrochloric
acid.

Dear Kate:
Well, am back at the old work and IT is
all right. 1 have been dancing in the best
restaurants in New York, and what do
you think, Kate? 1 am going TO dance at
the Winter Garden. The manager there
saw my poppy dance the other night, and
he is giving me a dance. / can still come
back and dance at l2 o'clock in the restau-
rant. Fred Kelly, my dancing partner, is
crazy glad Will Henderson nearly cried.

son who takes dope. Sometimes he shows
up every night and plays just beautiful,
then again we don't see him for ten days.
Fred Kelly is SO tcked at this chance to
work in the good places, that he has braced
up and seems a different fellow. He used
to drink lot and one time when he was
tanlted up, he had to throw me from one
arm TO the other in the dance, and he let
me fall and hurt my back so bad, l could
hardly move for a week. 1t gave me an
awful scare and had a good heart-to-heart
