TASTE FOR MUTTON IN JAPAN Sheep In Large Numbers Being Imported Into Flowery Kingdom From Antipodes. The visit of a Japanese government official to Australasia to buy sheep is reported from Sydney, N. 8, W., remarks East and West. This official—T. Iliguchi, chief of the stock farm in the Hokkaido—lately, it seems, bought some merino and Romney rams at Monaro, in New South Wales, and then proceeded to New Zealand to get some Corriedales and Romneys, which Mr. Higuchi considers the best breeds for the northern island of Hokkaido. There are now in Japan not more than 15,000 sheep, but by intensive efforts the country may be capable of supporting about 500,000 —and Korea presents possibilities which may make a radical difference in Japan’s standing as a consumer and importer of wool. The Sydney paper concludes : “Even should Japan be able tc raise the number of her sheep to 500,000, this number will not begin to meet the demand for wool and mutton, and the nation will doubtless have to continue importing both. The war, more especially by reason of the tremendous military demands ot Russia, has given the Japan woolen trade a great impetus, and, moreover, the younger generation of Japanese have acquired a taste for mutton.” CUT DOWN THE DEATH RATE Improved Handling of Military Hospl tale Is Reported to Have Had Most Gratifying Results. Amidst the never-ceasing reports of the tremendous loss of life occasioned by the present European wai there has been a growing curiosity to know just how many of the wounded who are brought back tc the hospitals recover. In previous wars, where the instruments of death were less thorough, it was known that the death rate in military hospitals was about 30 per cent. Dr. Jacques Bertillon, who is in charge of the medico-surgical statistics for the entire French army, has just stated that the mortality at present is only 2 per cent. His figures, made up and averaged from the reports from all French military hospitals, at last give an authoritative answer to American queries. He says: “Out of every 100 patients at present being received and treated at our hospitals 98 are sent away on recovery.” Toward the first of the war the mortality was 4.5 per cent, he states, but since the improvement of the medical service and the discovery of a remarkable number of new treatments the advantage of science has been materially increased.

VIRTUE REWARDED. The teacher had told the pupils the story of Washington and his little hatchet, and had then shown them an engraving which depicted two small boys standing in a repentant attitude, “explaining things to mother.” The title of the picture was “The Truth-Tellers,” and the children were asked to write a composition thereon. This was little Johnnie 8 effort: “One day mother left me in the house all alone. Pretty soon Tommy Jones came along and said lets go swimming. My mother wont let me. Ah, come on. So I went. When mother came back she said what makes your hair so wet. I said mother I cannot tell a lie I went swimming. And she said Johnnie I m glad you took a bath.”—Life. EXPERT AT THAT. “So Blank has gone west to develop his gold mine. Has he taken his wife along?” “Yes; he says she’ll be sure to find the pockets if there are any.” THE RESULT. “I am going to tell that fellow I will make him eat his words.” “Don’t. That will be just pie to him.” CAMPAIGNING. Knicker—Where did Jones make his speech? Bocker—From the rear platform of a train of thought. RESEMBLANCE. Wife — Are my doughnuts like those your mother used to make? Hub (sampling them) —Weller—the—holes are just the same.

True Secret of Keeping* _ Youthful Looking (The Beauty Seeker.) •‘Th® real aecret of keeping young-looking •nd beautiful,” eayH a well-known hygienist, •‘is to keep th® liver and bowela normally active. Without those requisites, poisonous waste product* remain in tne system, polluting the blood and lodging in various organa, tissuoa, Jointh. Oni becomes flabby, obese, nervous, mentally sluggish, dull-cyed, wrinkled and eallow of face. “But to get liver and bowels working un they ought, without producing evil after-effect* has been the problem. Fortunately, there is a prescription of unquestioned merit, which may now be had in convenient tablet form. Its value is due largely to an ingredient derived from the humble May anole, or its root, which has been called ‘vegetable calomel’ because of its effectiveness—though, ot course, it is not to be classed with the real calomel of mercurial origin. There is no habit-forming constituent in ‘sentanei* tablets—that’s tho name —and their use is not followed by weakness or exhaustion. On the contrary, these harmless vegetable tablets tend to impart tone and elasticity to the relaxed intestinal wall. Sentanel tablets, which may be procured from any druggist—a dime’s worth will do —will prove a revelation to any constipated, livertroubled person.” The Constipation Curse | Constipation - clogged bowels cause pain and sickness; 95 per cent of our ills, say the authorities. Sentanel Laxatives bring quick relief. All vegetable — contain no calomel. Ten doses for a dime at any* druggists. Physician’s sample free, upon request, if you mention this advertisement.
