To Prevent Reriberi.

Two thousand physicians assembled
at the Imperial university In Kyoto
recently to hear DR.. Shimasono lee
ture on beriberi, the cause Of which Is
much disputed among medical author
tiles. The disease is not contagious,
and its chief cause is eating pure rice,
although the doctor disbelieves the
theory that rice ever causes blood poi
soning.
The speaker said that If rice is
taken into the body along with other
foods there is less danger of beriberi.
He cited the cases of prisoners, fac
tory hands, Buddhist monks and 9th
ers, who ate much wheat mixed with
rice. Buddhist monks eat ten or
twenty times as much other food as
rice, and rarely suffer from the dis
ease. Among the factory hands Of
the Kejiho iron foundry Of the Nit
subishi company 45O of the 1000 Jap
anese suffered from beriberi because
they ate pure rice, while only Of
5000 Koreans suffered from the dis
ease presumably because they ate mil
let and beans.
Doctor ShimaSon0 advised the eat
ing Of wheat with rice, In the ratio of
six parts Of rice to four parts of wheat.
This will create market for the ship

Dear Mr.. Hampton-Fine for you
I'm started on just such a career my
self. Uncle Joab is going to let me
manage his farm next year. I'll have
to economize, for it will take lots of
grease for complexion and other farm
machinery. But I'm figuring to marry
later on some competent young man
to help run the farm. 1t will be much
cheaper than hiring, but you needn't
feel sorry for him, for I'll treat him
white when he proves to me that he is
a full-size man. And l shall not ex-
pect him to tell me how to comb my
hair. Resp'y, A. BURTON"

grinned appreciatively, then on second
reading laughed broadly. He felt that
it should be answered at once.
Dear Ann-Have you any one in

suaded to take it. Answer. TOM"
And she did, sending it to the sta
ton, where rather disconsolate and
crest-fallen Tommy was wondering
whether Ann might relent.
He fairly snatched the note from
the hand of the messenger, turned
aside from the crowd and read:
