and income will allow, but the sweetest
homes and the most beautiful orna-

any man, is a patient, tender-heartcd,

"Eat Plenty Of Hard Food

"There are three things to keep In
mind when considering diseases of the
teeth--Hrst, that soft food is injurious,
and that plenty Of hard food should be
eaten; second, that infection in the
gums and tooth cavities may cause dis
orders by the pus being swallowed and
so conveyed to the stomach and In
testines; thirdly, that the pus may
cause more serious trouble by being
absorbed through the lymphatics."

Seal OrlQlnaIIy Land Animal

1t is curious fact that the fur seal
was once land animal The baby
seals are actually afraid of the water;
they would drown if thrown into 1t,
and have to learn to swim by repeated
efforts. When once they have been
taught to swim, however, they soon
forget to walk.

There is a demand for good boys
The boy who is honest, earnest and in
dustrious, will not be long out of a job
There are lots of prosperous business
men, merchants and mechanics, who
are constantly on the look out for good
boys. They do not look for them on
the streets, however, but in some sort
of employment. They have no use for
an idle boy He is too apt to make an
idle man.

Jap Shipping In
South Sea Lessons

Tokio.--The influence of Japanese
merchantmen in the South Seas has
declined owing to the resumption OF
operations by foreign shipping COM
panies which were compelled to sus-
pend their services to that part of tHc
world during the war.
In pre-war days Dutch and British
ships dominated the shipping trade in
the direction of the Dutch East Indies,
Singapore, Bankok and Hongkong, but
during the war they were largely su-
perseded by Japanese companies.
The position of Japanese ships has
now become less favorable owing to
the fact that merchants are shipping
direct from the Dutch East Indies, in
stead of from Singapore, to Europe.
Japanese ships have gradually with
drawn from the South Seas trade and
the only Japanese concern now main
tanning regular service in that part
of the world is subsidized by the gov
ernment.

Hamburg Once
World Port, Non

Hamburg.--In one day last week
20 steamers passed Cuxhaven on the
way to Hamburg or to enter the Kiel
canal. This was the largest number
OF ships TO come into the Elbe in "a
hours since the early. days of the war.
and the event was hailed with in
tense satisfaction here as sign Of bet
ter times. Five years ago 1t was
dull day when only score of vessels
arrived. The Hamburg American line
alone usually had from rs to 80 big
ships in port and the harbor was so
crowded with shipping that the prob
lem Of docking often became acute
In those days few flags other than
those OF German companies were seen
in the harbor. Today Hamburg Is lit
orally under foreign colors Shipping
companies Of all the principal nations
have set up offices here and the Tor
merly powerful German lines, having
lost their ships, are acting now only
as agents. American, British, Japa-
nese, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutcni
and Brazilian companies display tnelr
advertisements in the shipping papers.

are SO few that one must search Tor
them.
