Eudoxia, Eldest Daughter Of Ruler Of

Princess Eudoxia, the eldest daugh-

be the clevereSt member of Ferdinand's
family. She manages the Sofia palace,
receives ministers and ENJOYS and
apologies to them for Ferdinand's
mysterious absences; runs Ferdinand's
farm at Vitosch when Ferdinand Is not
hiding there; directs his business spec
ulations and his enormous private
wealth. and, in particular, runs his big
tand-developments scheme around Chas-
kovo, near the Turkish frontier.
Eudoxia Is black-eyed, lively and
pretty, with an ambition, Sofia declares,
to be married quickly, and cynics add
that Ferdinand chose the German side
Instead of the allies because Germany

Fearless Japanese Official.

or all the eccentric characters in
Japan, one of the most famous and
distinguished Is probably Viscount DR..
Inai'ro Tajlri, president of the i'm
perial board of audit. He fatters no
body, not excepting himself, says a
correspondent, and Is feared by all
who are not sincere. The late Prince
Katsura was once scolded by him, and
not long ago Baron Shibusawa waxed
hot In anger at public meeting as he
rose to refute the charges of CONNER
cial corruption which Viscount Tajiri
had made against Japan's business
world at large. He Is outspoken when
ne thinks the occasion demands out
spokenness. Fearlessness of public
opinion or ridicule is dramatically ex-
emplitied in the very simple and unpre-
tentious life that he Is leading. His
food is of the simplest variety. He
daily carries to the office bento box
filed with rice and some picked plums.
and during the past 40 years he has
ever stuck to his Spartan lunch.

SECRET OF FRENCH CULTURE
Vibrating Balance Between Head and
Heart at Top Speed, Is Deduction
Of Magazine Writer.

Intensely alive, is the chief impress
John Galsworthy in the Atlantic. They
balance between head and heart at top
speed in q sort Of electric and eternal
see-saw. 1t Is this perpetual quick
change which gives them, 1T seems to
me, their special grip on actuality; |;
they never fly into the cloud regions Of
theories and dreams their heads have
not time before their hearts have inter
vened, their hearts not time before
their heads cry, "Hold!" They appre-
hend both worlds, but with such rapid
alienation that they surrender to
neither.
The secret Of French culture lies in
this vibrating balance; from quick
marriage of mind, and heart, reason
and sense, in the French nature, all
the clear created forms of French life
arise. forms recognized as forms with
definite utility attached. Controlled
expression is the result Of action and
reaction. Controlled expression Is the
essence Of culture, because it alone
makes sufficiently clear appeal in a
world which is itself the result of the
lncalculable interplay of complement
tary or dual laws and forces.
French culture is near to the real
heart of things, because 1t has q sort
of quick sanity that never loses its
way; or, when 1t does, very rapidly re-
covers the middle of the road.

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For a good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real Burley tobacco. grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting:
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatest demand
ever created for any tobacco product in a
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is not
only most wholesome, but the flavor is
greatly improved, justas cooking improves
meat. for example.

Scheme to Swindle Farmers

farmers of the United States has
been discovered by the Federal

organizer of national farm-loan

Using matter emblazoned with the
national flag, stating that he will
organize such associations at $500
each, and will teach others the
trick for a certain sum of money.
His advertisements have reached
farmers and business men over a
large part of the United States.
He claims to be so busy organizing
