Toxic, July 2.-(Mai)-Dr. Senshi
Egi, a member Of the house OF peers,
on returning from an inspection Of

Ing the following references to Foreign
missionaries:1 Y
Il have doneNmyl best to get at the
truth Of the reports that have been
circulated regarding the pinstigationsof
Korean students by their missionary
teachers against the Japanese author
tiles, but have found, that with very
lew exceptions, the fuYnors are not
true. The impression left on me was
that the missionaries are honestly
striving to develop the country in or
der that 1t may Yield goodgresults to
the Koreans. Whatever their mo
tives, there is no a why the Jap
anese should not welcome those eff
forts"
DR.. Egi. said that Korea has attain
ed striking progress since the inau-
gurAtion OF the new regime. .G:But, he
added, there Is yet great room for
Improvement. While I was in Korea,
l took every opportunity to meet rep
resentative Koreans and learn their
point OF view The most intelligent
of them have realized that 1t Is futile
to try to establish an Independent
government. But I think 1t lis very
necessary that the japanese should
know that the Koreans aim at local
autonomy"

stand the words OF the King u he
spoke to the Forest Dwellers. In his
mind he was wondering what might
be coming, whether theK King w1s tell
ing, the C~reatureSSof the Forest to
pounce upon him all at once. or tell
n In fact. the King was not telling
them either. In Tinker's mind was the
thought OF showing the Hunter how
much the Forest Dwellers knew about
doing things that the Hunter knew
nothing about. sg$H "
my, o. Ny" said the Hunter. Il
never a. 8 many creatures before.
Do all of these live in. the Forest or
have they come from the four corners
of the earth?!"
These creatures all live right here
in the Forest. The reason, Mr.. Hunter,
that you do o see them is because
they know you always carry a gun and
they are afraid and hide. All OF these
creatures have seen you. before. You
can understand that they are. not fool
ish ;fthey are even wise enough to hide
before you get a glimpse Of them.
Then they laugh when you have pass
ea by with your dog. to think how
simple it IS to fool the Hunter"
The Hunter was silent for it seemed
hard for him to think that there were
30 many Dwellers of the Forest that
knew him. But, then he knew the King
Of the Forest would not tell an un-
truth. II, S5
This Is q day Of frolic." said Tinker
Bob to the Hunter, "and all Of the
Creatures Of the Forest have come to
see the sport. They will all be glad,
am sure. to- have you stay and see
the stunts" This was beyond the
Hunters Imagination. He could not
understand it at all. &

CALLS FOR QUICK ATTENTION
Grave Danger In Delaying to Get Med.
icaI Attention When a Bone
Has Been Swallowed,

The necessity of examining the
esophagus (tube down which we swL IL.
low) with an esophagoscope as early
as possible after foreign body has
been swallowed Is emphasized in n re.
port by DR.. Joseph Eastman Sheehan
of New York to the Medical Record
on recent case of his own.
A man Of siXty-four was received at
the POSTGRADUATE hospital few
months ago, suffering from pain and
inability to swallow. He said that a
few nights previously he had swal.
lowed bit Of the neck OF chicken,
and since then mad been suffering as
described. Doctor Sheehan pushed an
esOphagOscOpe down the mans throat
and readily recognized one of the yer.
tebrae of n chickens neck sticking in
the esophagus about half way down
TO the stomach. He seized 1t with the
forceps and gently pulled II up through,
the tube.
But the bone had deeply liberated
the flesh around the place where II
had been impacted. SO that swallow.
ing food would have caused blood poi
soning. II was necessary to resort to
rectal feeding while the liberation
was being treated by direct applica
