have the tendency to overclothe our
selves. which is just as harmful as
not enough clothing. Overlooking
ones self renders the skin oversensi-
tive, so that when it is subjected to
sudden exposure it is unable to
stand 1t and we catch cold"
To help make your body strong
only the minimum amount of cloth
ing that will secure warmth should
be worn. Woolens protect most, but
they require the least exercise of the
temperature-regulating apparatus OF
the body. The wool becomes satur-
ated with the perspiration, which il
holds, to the disadvantage of the
skin.
Therefore, wooden clothing should
be confined to outer garments, such
as overcoats. designed especially for
colder weather. Fur coats make the
skin oversensitive.
Outer clothing should be adapted
to the changes of the weather and
medium-weight u~nderclothing should
be worn throughout the winter sea-
son. Those not comfortable in linen
mesh underwear might wear light
weight wooden or silk over cotton.
Office workers, school children and
those employed indoors during the
day work almost always in a sum-
mer temperature. The wearing of
heavy underclothing under such con-
ditions is facilitating. 1t lowers the
powers of resistance so that they
can catch" diseases easily.
Light colored garments are cooler
in summer and warmer in winter
than dark ones.

Japan which from a position of
isolation in the Asian sea- has
emerged TO become one of the DOM
inant factors in the Pacific might
be termed the narrower and less
compact Britain of the Far East"
says a bulletin from the Washing
ton, d. C. headquarters of the Ma
tional Geographic Society.
Like the British Isles the Japa-
nese Islands form the fringe of a
great continent; both were in the
hands of petty kings and grew into
a centralized nation; both looked
abroad for expansion; and both
have conceived of their safety and
future prosperity as dependent
largely on sea power.
Has Remained Center of Empire
But there are differences as well
as likenesses between these two is
land nations. Since she began to
grow into an empire Great Britain
has resolutely turned her back o
Europe in so far as territorial ac-
QUESTIONS are concerned, and has
sent her colonists into the remote
parts of the world. Japan, on the
other hand, has acquired large
blocks of the neighboring continent,
but has expanded somewhat in
other directions also. Great Bril-
tain has become the headquarters
of a scattered, distant empire. Jap
an has remained so far the center
of her empire with her possessions
drawn relatively closely about her.

Perry opened communications with
the west in 1854, was confined to
the three main southern islands

Next to proper food, proper dress
is of great Importance in the preser-
Walton and maintenance of good
health.
Most people think it is the cloth
ing that bestows the heat by keep
ing the cold out. The fact is the
clothing regulates the amount of
heat allowed to escape from the
body. OF course. clothing does de-
fend the body against the external
influences of wind and cold, too.
Clothing, no matter of what ma
terial, possesses more or less power
of retaining a layer of air kept warm
by our bodies. This layer of air
varies according to the fineness and
closeness of the weave of the ma
terial used. Thick garments of the
same material are warmer than the
thin because they retain in their
meshes a greater quantity of heated
air.
Loose clothing is warmer than
tight clothing, so also with shoes
and gloves. With loose clothing,
shoes or gloves. there is a larger
layer of heated air between the skin
and the material. The circulation
of the blood is freer. too.
The material of the clothing
should be such as to allow free per-
spiration from the skin. We sweat
in winter as well as summer, but
the sweat is in the form of vapor
and is invisible.

chatka. In 1875 Russia induced
Japan to take the Kuriles and re-
linquish all claims to Sakhalin.
Wars Have PrOfited Japan
These expansions to the north
Were of little value, for the cold,
bleak northern lands have never
appealed to japanese colonists.
Yezo is sparsely settled, and the
Kuriles have only a handful of in
~habitants. Japan's next step was
the LuChu archipelago extending
from the southernmost of the large
japanese islands southwestward for
700 miles to Formosa. China laid
claim to these small but pleasant
and populous islands as she did to
Formosa but she fi-ally consented
TO Japan's annexing them.
"Japan's victorious war with
China in 1895 gave her immediate
territorial advantage and in addition
greatly heightened her prestige
among the nations. China coded
the island of Formosa (now offici-
ally known as Taiwan) with its
$4,000 square miles of territory and
its 100000 Inhabitants: and the
Chinese peninsula of L%iaotung on
which battle-scarred Port Arthur
is now situated; and acknowledged
the independence of Korea. Rus
STA France and Germany forced
Japan to relinquish the Liaotung
peninsula and Russia later leased ii

nese possession and the island en-
pire now holds 1t under a s9-year

further extended her influence both

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-The dis
armament conference is no longer a
nine days wonder. We are getting
used to il. All the nations invited
the. British Empire, Japan, France,
Italy and China-are coming. 1t will
be less than a month when every
seeing eye in the world will be fixed
on Washington.
Washington will be the capital of
the world until the Disarmament
Conference is over. 1t will be the
capital of the world after the con
ferenHe adjourns.
The world knows that in calling
the conference our government has
made a fateful play in the game in
which the destiny of the world will
be decided for centuries.
How DO Americas Players Measure?
Hughes is the chief player for US.
His associates are Lodge, Root and
Underwood. Do they measure up
to the stature required of those who
cast dice with Fate for the destinies
of the race?
1t is no criticism of them to say
that they do not. 1t is no criticism;
for unless they receive wisdom and
power and skill and insight and the
gift Of prophecy with a humble at
titude toward their task-in other
words unless Gods helps them-they
will fail. So would any other men.
Supermen are required for a super
human task, unless they have the
genius, like that of Lincoln, to make
the crooked straight, and to rise
above obstacles instead of making
ways through and around them. And
Hughes, Lodge, Root and Underwood
are not supermen.

Why this rush that makes us dizzy,
Do you think mere hustle" can
Prove that you r truly busy?
II you'd planned exactly right
There would be no need to scurry;
Use your common sense a mite
What's your hurry?
Haste won't take the place of

And it's not so darned impressive;
Things are often badly wrought
When they're done with speed ex-
cessive.
Why this %galloping about?
Why this fierce, frenetic furry?
You can do your work without
What's your hurry?
All this restless motion serves
Not to prove your zeal and ardor
But to wreck your brain and nerves,
Make your arteries grow harder:
Thinking is the thing you need,
Saves o time and toll and worry
Nix on all this frantic speed.
What's your hurry?

Menace to Livestock Men


We are in receipt Of the follow
ing article from w. T. Stouffer,
veterinary inspector for this part
of Iowa. Mr.. Stouffer states that
he will gladly answer any inquiries
sent to him. Address w. F..
Stouffer, 1928 Ave. B., Council
Bluffs, Iowa.
"The livestock industry holds a
very important position in the well
fare of the state, nation or of the
world. This is as true of Iowa as
of any state.
If we were to examine statistics
as to the source of wealth in any
state, it would be found that live
stock is very important. The
worth OF products derived by
mining fade into insignifcance
when compared to that produced
on the surface.
Therefore, from an economical
viewpoint, it is essential that the
health of the livestock be zealously
guarded if we are to secure full
VALUE for it Conditions are con-
tinually changing. AS the number
of people per square mile increases
the more care and attention is re.
quired to keep the livestock heal
thy. In a thickly populated state
it becomes apparent that if an out
break of an infections or conta-
gious disease occurs in the live
stock of one farmer it also becomes
a menace to that of other farmers
If it spreads to other herds it be-
comes public business. That is
why foot and mouth disease, hog
cholera and tuberculosis are Of
such Importance.
Foot and mouth disease is sell
dom found in this country and
then it is imported from Europe
where it can be found most any
time. Hog cholera is fast losing
its dreadful menace to the hog
raiser through vaccination. But
in tuberculosis we have an alto
gether different disease to combat.
This is entirely different from any
other disease which we come in
contact with today as it cannot be
detected until it's victim is in the
last stages or about ready to die.
MANY people feel safe because
their snimals look sleek and fat and
show no external evidence of any
thing being the matter. Herein
lies it's greatest menace. Very few
peopleAcan be made to believe that
their livestock has it even after the
tuberculin test has revealed it un-
less they accompany the diseased
animals to slaughter and see them
inspected and have the LESSONS
shown to them. This is absolute
proof However skeptical the
owner may be at the time of test,
if he sees the disease in his stock
on the killing floor he admits the
seriousness of the condition.
Nevertheless, whether the peo-
pie believe it or not, tuberculosis
has reached the point today where
| it is of vital concern to all of us.
