Japan's Urban Population
Rapidly Increasing as in
Other Civilized Countries

When we speak of Japan mainly as
an agricultural country this gives an
inadequate conception of the great
strength of the urban population which
Is increasing in Japan as in other civ
iliZed countries, writes II. M. Hyndman
in Asia Magazine. Apart from Tokyo,
with it's 100000 inhabitants, and Osa-
ka, with 100000, there are five other
cities which have together a popula-
ton Of 100000, and there are in all
66 towns with a population Of over
10000 each. Moreover, the greater
part of the larger cities and towns
are collected close together in COM
parison with the total area of the
Japanese islands. Railways now IN
meet the main industrial and agricul-
tural centers. supplementing the ad-
mirabsa water communications by sea
and canal. This concentration Of in
dustrialism and Improvement in trans
port combine to give japan a focus Of
material influence which can scarcely
fail to increase her pressure upon

where other cereals are not so sue

Is Month Year, New Calendar Idea
Scheme Launched by American Equal Month
Association

A plan to save $~5OO00O00 a year in time and ~$15O00,000 in coin
by the addition of a month to the present twelve month calendar has
been launched by the American Equal Month association, according to an
announcement made by that organization.
The idea is to divide the year into thirteen months of twenty-eight
days each, making each month begin with a Monday. This, of course,
will leave one day lying around loose in an ordinary year, so it is pro-
posed to make that day New Years day, an Independent legal holiday,
located between the last calendar day Of the previous year and the first
day of the following year. In leap years the extra day will also be made
an independent holiday and will be slipped in between two months, where
it win not be noticed.
The thirteenth month, or rather the extra month under the proposed
system, will be called Liberty" to make the calendar more American,
the officials of the association say. Thus, the calendar will read January,
February, Liberty, March, etc.
The saving in money will be through the adjustment Of printed cal
endars. That is where the saving of time and labor will come in, it is
averred.
The officers Of the association state that the bill has been very care
fully drawn for presentation to congress, and provides that the change
will take place on Sunday, the first day of 1922.

Brains Necessary to Make

Civilization can only reach its high

Canned Goods Will Stand
Little Freezing Without
Any Appreciate Change

In answer to numerous inquiries as
to the injury which freezing does to
canned goods, the bureau of chemistry
of the United States department of
agriculture states that cold, unless il
goes below the freezing point, seems
to have no bad effect. In regard to
the danger Of eating canned goods
that had been frozen, the bureau of
chemistry says:
Most canned goods will stand a
little freezing without appreciable
change. Repeated freezing and thaw.
ing cause the foods to become 1abbv
and gives II fiat taste. Such a change,
however, does not alter the whole
someness or food value of the ma.
terial. but 1T may change the texture,
appearance, and palatability. The ac-
tual damage varies with the different
Kinds OF canned foods and in genera
is somewhat similar to damage done
by freezing the same food in the fresh
condition.
All canned goods whether frozen
or not should be inspected for eyi.
dcnce Of spOilage, due to leakage OF
insufficient processing. Such spoilage
is indicated by swelling of the cans
and by an unpleasant flavor or odor

StryCnnla Most Useful and
Most Used Stimulant to the
Heart and Nervous System

Ask any physician what is the
most useful and most used stimulant
to the heart and nervous system?" and
he will answer "Strychnia,' notes a
writer in Milwaukee Sentinel.
Strychnia is an alkaloid found orig
inally In the seed of the strychnOs nux.
vomica, the p~oisOn-nut tree found In
India, Burmah and Slam and growing
also in Cochin China and Australia.
The tree is of moderate size and
has Il fruit the size of a small orange,
with "A hard shell and a bitter pulp in
closing one to five seeds, less than n
inch in diameter and %one-fourth inch
thick and shaped like disks. 1t is
the bltterest substance known, and
when n has heart failure, or nervous
exhaustion, or is run down or needs a
tonic, some doctor is sure to give him
the alkalOid from one Of these peculiar
Indian trees.
Text books on medicine frequently
refer to emergency heart stimulants,"

stimulation of a weakened heart.
Some of the most valuable heart slim
ulants require II good deal Of time aft
or being given to produce their effects,
hence the need Of emergency heart
stimulants. Strychnine, we know, is
a splendid emergency heart stimulant.
A tree which has various species
several hundred, in fact-throughout
the world, and is Of some medical
interest, is the acacia. The acacia
senegal is the type of tree which for
nishes gum acacia, or gum arabic.
While acacia is not possessed of any
marked curative properties of itself, Ii
is n constituent Of many important
preparations in pharmacy, rs, for in.
stance, in the making of emulSiOns,
where its heavy mucilaginOus quail
ties make 1t a valuable vehicle for oily
and resinous substances. 1t is also
widely used in the preparation Of pills
and trOches.
Gum catechu, a substance contain
ing fannie acid and used in dyeing,
which was at one time used as a rem
edy in colitis and dysentery, comes
from the acacia catechu and acacia
Suma. both native to India.

SELECTION OF
EGGS FOR MATCHING

Set only good sized eggs uniform in
size.
Set only good shaped eggs uniform
in shape.
Set only good colored eggs uniform
in color.
All this you can do with a little
care in selection.
1t is worth while, as eggs of good
size, color and shape and uniform are
a marketable product at higher prices
than small eggs varying in color and
all shapes.
Eggs weighing less than two ounces
should not be used for Matching. The
large sized egg matches a larger chick.
This larger chick grows faster than
the smaller chick.

of which shall be to maintain the ag-
ricultural training Of all American
boys between the ages Of sixteen and
twenty who are engaged in industry,
Is the plan of the Reserve for 1912.
This unit is already partly organized
after the plan Of the Farm Unit Of tho
Reserve.
Other plans for 1919 which the
Boys Working Reserve has announced
are as follows:
To enroll and place on American
farms 100000 boys.
To afford all these boys training In
farm practice before they go to the
farms, by means of the central farm
training camps and farm-craft lessons.

Bodies of Americans Who
Died in France During the
War to Be Brought Home

Bodies Of Americans who died in
France during the war will be trans
ferred to the United States if their
nearest relatives so desire. Otherwise
the dead will remain undisturbed.
Already Il large number Of relatives
have Informed the war department Of
their desire to have the bodies re-
will be sent to the nearest relative
Of every soldier or civilian whose body
rests in France, asking their wishes
with regard to the transfer.
A memorandum on this subject,
drafted by Lieut.. Col. J. 9. Ashburn of
the adjutant generals department,
says:
1T cannot be stated just now when
the transfer Of bodies will begin, as
it must be deferred until conditions,
including that Of transportation, war
rant the undertaking. Due notice will
be given through the public press.
1T is not deemed advisable to grant
requests for relatives, friends or UNI
dertakers to go TO France to super
intend the preparation and shipment
OF, or to accompany bodies back to the
United States. Organizations have
been formed, known as grave regis
tratiOn units, whose duty il is to look
after burials, care of cemeteries and
preservation Of Identification records
so that there will be no question as to

THE PINES


Couldst thou, Great Fairy, give to me,
The instant's wish, that l might see
or all the earth's that one dear sight
known only In a dreams delight,
l would, beneath some island steep,
In some remote and sunbright deep,
See high in heaven above me now
A palm tree wave its rhythmic bough!
And yet this old pines naughty crown,
Shaking its clouds Of silver down,
Whispers me snatches of strange tunes
And murmurs of those awful runes
Which tell by subtle spell and power
or secret ~sympathies, the hour
When far in the dark north the snow
Among great bergs begins to blow.
Nay. thou sweet South Of heats and balms
Keep all thy proud and plumy palms.
Keep all thy fragrant flowery ease,
Thy purple skies. thy purple seas!
These boughs Of blessings shall not fail,
These voices singing in the gale.
The vigor of these mighty lines:
i will content me with my pines!

Red Haired Heroes Numerous
Among Men Wearing Military
Decorations DenOting Nerve

"Ginger for pluck" is an old saying
which would seem to be confirmed In
the bestowal OF military decorations
for bravery. "It was in the ruined
square of demolished Ypres last Christ
Ia Eve" writes Il British officer in
London Answers, "that l was first i'm
pressed by the large number Of red
haired men who were receiving the
military medal.
"Since that afternoon I have noted
the complexion of every officer and
man wearing a military decoration, and
the impression made at Ypres has been
strengthened in consequence. There
must be something in the old saying,
for wherever soldiers are gathered to-
gether there is a red-haired, berib-
boned man in the midst of them.
"Take our most famous fighting d.
vision-the Invincible ~Fifty-first. This
is composed almost entirely Of High
land troops, and the Highlanders are
nearly all full-blOoded blondes. OF
course, there are dark-haired heroes
in plenty, but nevertheless red hair
and pluck would seem to be synony-
nous. Red hair is common among
our most daring airmen, and although
l cannot say how many holders of the
Victoria Cross sport ruddy locks, /. am
prepared to wager that they form a
large percentage.
Scientists say that red hair is caus-
ed by a large proportion Of iron in
the system, and certainly carrots and
freckles have been worn by men OF
iron while doing the work of men in
the DEVILS own war;"

Small Stove Is Dangerous
As a Source of Fire When
Oyerheated or Overloaded

Unless properly installed anu USED
tho small stove is dangerous as a
source of fire, according 10 the united

Some people expect too much OF a
small stove and overWOrk 1t. III a
stove is too small for the space 1T is
e-nected TO heat it is liable 10 be
oyerheated or filled so full OF tuel
that fire will fall out on the moor
when the door is opened. The PIP
also is liable to be Overheated anu the
resultant danger is cited as a great
source Of farm blaZes.
Stoves should not be placed close
70 papered walls or woodwork unless
proper protection is provided. The
floor near stoves or tireplaceS also
should be covered with some non
infammable material. Screens, 10 pre-
vent Goals dropping on the floor,
should be placed. The door leading
to the fire box on Il stove should never
be left open to check the draft, as
the small explosions constantly occur"
ring in the fire are very apt to throw
out live Goals and start d fire. Open
freplaces should not be used unless
provided with effective screens.
Chimneys should be cleaned regu-
larry to remove SCOT and any other
inflammable material. This is best
accomplished by means of pieces Of
metal (such as scrap TIM, limbs Of
an evergreen tree, or II bundle OF brush
attached to Il rope, chain, or wire and
worked up and down in the chimney
