VIII Not Visit "Meat Houses"

In Tokyo, says Good Health, a Ger.
tain class Of japanese are adopting
the practice Of eating meat, as they
have acquired the habit of using to-
bacco and drinking whisky, through
their desire to initiate the westerners,
Some have an idea that by flesh-eat-
ing they may be able to increase their
size and yigor.
It is noticeable, however, that the
Japanese women refuse to eat meat
and will not visit the restaurants
where meat is served, which are known
as '.meat houses" The japanese wom-
en- regard it improper to visit such
places.

Certainly" replied Bwana. make
yourself Mt home"
They had reached the veranda now,
and Bwana was introducing the stran-
ger to Meriem and My Dear, who had
lust come from the bungalows interl-
or.
"This is Mr.. Hanson" he said, using
the name the man had given him. HE
is q trader who has lost his way In the
Jungle to the SOUTH
MY Dear and Meriem bowed their
Acknowledgements of the introduction.
The man seemed rather Ill at ease In
their presence. His host attributed this
to the fact that his guest was unaccus'
toned to the society Of cultured wo-
men, and so found pretext to extri-
cate him quickly from his seemingly
unpleasant position and lead him away
to his study and the brandy and soda'
which were evidently much less EN-
barrasslng to Mr.. Hanson.
When the two had left them Meriem
turned toward My Dear.
"It is odd" she said, "but i couid
almost swear that I had known MIR.
Hanson in the past. 1t IS DID, put
quite impossible" and she gave the
matter no further thought.
For three weeks Hanson had re-
NAMED. During this time he said that
his boys were resting. and gaining
strength after their terrible ordeals IN
the untracked jungles to the SOUTH Dut
he had not been as idle as he appeared
to have been. lie divided his small
following into two parts, intrustins
the leadership, Of each to men whom
he believed he could trust.
One party he moved very slowly
northward along the trail that connects
with the great caravan routes entering
the Sahara from the south. The other
he ordered straight westward with or
ders to halt and go into permanent
camp just beyond the great river wnicn
marks the natural. boundary OF inc
country that the big Bwana righttuiiy
considers almost his own.
To his host he explained that ne was
moving his safari slowly toward the
north-he said nothing Of the party
moving westward. Then one DAY ne
announced that half his boys had oe-
serted, for a hunting party from the
bungalow had come across his nortn-
erly camp, and he feared that they
might have noticed the reduced num-
bers Of his following.
And thus matters stood when one
hot night Merieih, unable to sleep, rose
and wandered out into the garden. Inc
Hon. Morrison had been urging his SUIT
once more that evening, and the glfIs
mind was In such a turmoil that she
had been unable to sleep.

But she did know that 1t was very
nice to be loved, whatever 1t meant.
1t was nice to have people kind to
one. She had known so little Of kind
ness or affection.
"Tell me-" he said, ''that you return
my love-"
His lips came steadily closer to hers.
They had almost touched when a
vision of Korak sprang like q miracle
before her eyes. She saw Korak's face
close to hers, she felt his lips against
her lips, and then for the first time she
guessed what love meant.
She drew away gently.

Jennings Bryan, former secretary Of

brief visit of Col. Bryan was not fore

faith. He declared that these states,
Mississippi, Virginia and Kentucky,
will stand at the top of the honor roll
The fact that these states, which have
always been foremost in he doctrine of
states rights, were first to ratify the

Col. Bryan since the liquor interests,
he declared, have been making their
last stand behind the theory of self
determination.
While admitting that he expected
to devote his entire time to the prose-
cution Of the fight for the ratification
of the prohibition amendment, Col. Bry-
an took occasion to pay a sterling
tribute to the governmental policy in

LIZARD SQUIRTS BLOOD FROM
EYE

We have about fourteen species OF
horned lizards in this country, says
writer in Popular Science Monthly,
and most people still call them horned
toads. Some of their habits are eX-
tremely remarkable, but none more SO
than their ability to send at will
fine Jet of pure blood from either eye.
This fact is very rarely touched on in
literature, and the average reader OF
the life histories of our animals has
never heard Of this remarkable habit.
Blood-squirting is generally induig-
ed in when the lizard is laboring un-
der certain states of excitement. The
attack comes on suddenly, at a time
when YOU have the lizard in your
grasp. 1t will suddenly stitfen its
neck and throw the head upward, as
the eyes bulge from their sockets In
another second you hear a peculiar
kissing sound, followed Immediately
by the finest imaginable jet of pure
blood from one or the other of its eyes.
With such force is this squited that
the tiny stream, lasting a couple Of
seconds, may be thrown a distance Of
fully five feet.

TO EVERY FAMILY
IN HAYWOOD COUNTY

In keeping with the appeal made by
the president to every citizen Of the
United States, you are called to do
your part in his world war for liberty.
Comparatively speaking, very few OF
you will be allied on to go into the
trenches, to shoulder a musket, or to
use bayonets, but you are called upon
to do your bit in this great fight for
world freedom, 1t is your duty to res
pond to this call at moments notice,
and it is my duty, as Haywood county
fuel administrator to all you to that
duty from this day forward. 1t is the
loyal duty of every citizen Of Haywood
county to begin now to conserve foods
that can be exported to France for the
use of our own soldiers who are get
ting themselves ready to fight our bat
ties and for the use of our allies. Not
all suitable, they are not needed here
for export to Europe, and if they were
all suitable, they ae not needed there
at this time. What we are called on to
conserve are such things as are need
ed most, and such things as are most
suited for army rations. You are not
called on to save foods so that you will
have something to give away, but that
you will have surplus to sell for the
benefit of our own army and our allies.
The pressing call is now made to get
people to economic in the use of flour
and wheat products, meats and fats,
and sugar. In this appeal you are
not asked to eat less, but you are ask
ed to eat less wheat products, meat
and fats, and sugar, by substituting
other things. Save part of your flour
and wheat products by eating more
corn bread and more corn products.
Save all your cereals produced from
wheat and use cereals produced from
other grains. Save part Of your beef
and pork and use more fish and fowls.
The United States food administra-
ton has suggested rules which, if
practiced will greatly increase the
quantity for export of certain foods
that are so much needed by England,
France, Russia, Italy, and our own
soldiers.
You, as loyal, patiotic, liberty low
ing people, are urged to adopt, and to
strictly observe those rules, which win
not work hardship on anybody, and
viii add millions Of pounds of foodstuff
to the now limited amount Of wheat,
meat and fats available for export to
our European allies ad our own sol
diers getting themselves ready for
trench warfare.
As food administrator for Haywood
county, I would be glad for every pat
riotie head of family in the county,
who will adopt these rules and eneour-
age others to do SO, to advise me of
his intention, so that l may have a
