KANSAS WOMAN HAS
 274 DESCENDANTS
Work Is the Best Tonic, Ninety-Eight Year Old Lady Says, Speaking of Her Longevity.

Sabetha, .Kas., Feb. 27-Mrs. Ber- | tha Perkins, who will be 9S years oio
 next April, found a real thrill recently l when three additional great-grand children arrived in three Cabetha 1 homes, within a period of 48 hours. They brought the number of her de- l scendants up to 274. Mrs Perkins five generations of descendants are divided as follows:
 10 children, eight of whom are liv- ing.
 75 grand children.
 1855 great grand children. 25 great-great-grand children. great-great-great grand children. Mrs. Perkins was born in Virginia, April 25. 1924; married David Per kins in Ohio, March 16, 1843. Her maiden name was Bertha Marcum. In 1S48 they emigrated to Iowa, and in 1857 took homestead in this Nemaha county-where she has lived ever since, MT. Perkins died in 1893.
 Good and old fashioned cooking" is the recipe Mrs. Perkins gives for
 her longevity. "It is no wonder people do not live to old age like they used to. considering the rich foods they put in their stomachs nowadays. People do not eat enough coarse food. Corn bread once or twice a day would improve their health. Here are few of her ideas as she expressed them:
 T believe women should aid their husbands in voting right, but do not believe women should go into politics or vote."
 s'Cooking courses in schools and colleges run too much to fudge and fancy dishes. I believe still. that the best place for girl to learn housekeeping and cooking is from her mother-but I am in doubt Whethes some of these modern day mothers know much about such things.
 Work is the best tonic. Why. I do something every day. In the summer time take care of my vege- table garden. Last summer raised 50 many vegetables I had them to pass around among the neighbors."

Japan Ready To
 Reduce It's Army

Washington, Feb. 27-Japan is about to make radical reductions in the strength of her standing army, ac- cording to advices reaching here to- day from Tokio.
 The Tokio government, nothwith- standing the objection of the militaris- tic group among the Elder States men has decided that concessions must be made. to popular demand which has been crystalHzed by activi- ties of the so-called "kouninto'' or opposition which numbers among its mem bers some of the most influential of Japan's disarmament advocates.
 The Japanese general staff is stand ing out against any reduction in the number of divisions but apparently has agreed to a reduction of 50,0o0 in which would bring the standing army to 24S,OO0 officers and men. Under present plans, infantry battalions would be reduced from four to three companies. and reductions also will be made in the number of machine guns allotted to regiments other than those attached to machine gun divisions.
