Cost of Feedinu Nippon,s Soldiers.

It costs about 43 sen day (abOut p cents) to feed a private in Japan's Second imperial body-guard regiment. according to an officer quoted in YOm- iuri, a venacular paper. Of this. 15 sen goes for a quart of rice and bar ley (3O per cent barley) and IS sen for meat and vegetables. The sum is not as small as it seems, as everything is one-third under market price when bought for the army. For breakfast. in addition to the cereal, bean soup is served, and for lunch and supper the menu includes vegetables and fish or meat. Cooking and distribution is carefully done by staff of 20 men. 1n- cluding three lieutenants, three ser geants and IA privates-or one cook for every 90 men in a regiment of l. 800. Unused food is sold to cheap eating houses, the money thus gained being spent for extra dishes on fes- tive occasions.

CHAPTER XVI.

NI am Mrs. Ellsworthy-yes," said the woman with the agreeable voice who answered Lydia's ring. "Won't you come in?"
 And when Lydia had crossed the vestibule door and looked the girl over with smiling interest.
 Miss Craven, I presume?"
 ''You were expecting me?"
 ''Your father telephoned sometime ago. Would you mind stepping up- stairs?''
 'But-I have merely a message"
 "Yes, my dear, know but do let me consider it in comfort-upstairs."
 Under the soft glow of the electric dome Mrs. Ellsworthy's smile and the gracious inclination of her head that invited Lydia anew to ascend the stair way were alike quite irresistible. Lydia found no excuse for refusing; so sub dued her impatience, assented with a murmur, and preceded her hostess up the staircase.
 ''Tm really delighted to know you, Miss Craven. Yes-straight ahead, if you please. But I do need more light to see you by"
 Entering the designated room, Mrs. Ellsworthy touched a wall switch, add ing the illumination of an electrolier to the subdued glow of the reading lamp on a desk, and paused to review the girl with her kindly and engaging glance.
 'Tve known your father for many years," she affirmed, holding; "and you've much of his charm, my dear,

LOOKS AFTER COUNTRIES REVENUE

"He is always good at figures" said Danny's teacher, when talking with his mother after she had called at the school. This happened in 1877, and 40 years has not changed Daniel c. Roper. At least Uncle Sam doesn't think so, because he appointed him to probably the hardest job of non-mili- tary nature to be found in Washington. His office door reads, "Collector of Internal Revenue" and as the revenue has been increased several times it is going to be some job. He began his preparation for this career by attend ing Trinity college, and after he was graduated from that North Carolina in- stitution he continued by attending the National university of Washington, D. C., from which he emerged four years later ready for a fight with the world.
 Soon after his college work ended he became very much interested in the cotton and weaving industries. It was MT. Roper who developed a scheme of

CONTROLS ALL NAVAL OPERATIONS

The most important man in the navy today is Admiral William S. Ben son, ranking officer in the service and chief of naval operations. Yet little is heard of him outside naval circles.
 Outwardly or officially, Admiral Benson is charged with the opera tions of the fleet and with the prepara- tion and readiness of plans for it's use in war;" When congress created the particular billet which he now fills on May Il, 1915, the duties of the chief of naval operations were thus defined. Admiral Benson, then a rear admiral, took the job and the public promptly forgot he was there. When the war came there were so many other things to occupy the public mind that no one apparently has sought to disturb Ad- miral BensOn's official seclusion.
 Outside his door on the second floor of the navy department is posi- lively no admittance" sign. A dis tinguished visitor to Washington fn-
