I don't know him very well, but I do know him, and I know nothing but good of him." "That doesn't count, Riggs. If there was a black spot on his past, you wouldn't know it,--but Garret Folsom might have." "Can you get head or tail to these notes about C. R. S.?" "They are vague, and yet they are definite, too. Definite in expression*, that is, though vague in meaning or allusion." "Such as?" "One says, 'C. R. S. Keep on enter-hooks." Another, 'Screw a little tighter.' And another, 'Refer to secret, but lightly.' It seems to me such notes can only mean that uncle held a club over the head of Mr. Sears." "Do you know Sears well?" "Not so very. But I've known him in a general way for years. And I'd truth of K's report. T. C: Have absolute proof of his guilt.' "Now, I'm sorry to hurt you further, but on another page a series of large numbers would seem to indicate sums paid by these individuals, as the figures are opposite the initials we have| noted, and the dates are consecutive and recent." "I think, Mr. Riggs, you read a meaning into those notes to suit yourself.

(To be continued.) Wilson Publishing Company What the Japanese Eat It Is interesting, says an editorial writer in The Lancet (London), to study the#food problems of a practically homogeneous race which is changing from an agricultural to an industrial character. A great deal of work has been done by the medical staff of the Japanese Army on the dietaries adapted to their countrymen when doing light, moderate and heavy work, and recently Prof. Shozo Toda, of the Kyoto University, has discussed in The Japan Medical World the actual consumption of food In Japan. Says the London paper: "Japan is one of those fortunate countries wfefch produce nearly all the food they need. Some ric <s, beans, sugar, eggs, and wheat flou.- are imported, but very little else, the total excess of food imports amounting, 'it is believed, only to about 11 per cent, of the nation's requirements. It is calculated by Professor Toda that the mixed population of Japan, 56 million in all, requires the same amount of food as 43 million adults. After careful inquiry he has corrected the statistics of food production and con, sumption, which would appear very greatly to underestimate the production of vegetables other than cereals and fruits. 9 "The values show a marked deficiency of fat. The ratio of physiological demands of food calories of the European and Japanese are 100:85, based on weights and body surfaces; and on this basis the Japanese eats more than the European this being mainly due to the large proportion of rice consumed in Japan. This cereal appears to be very digestible in all respects, and although poor in'protein and very poor in fat, especially meets the taste of the Japanese. The protein consumed by the European is largely derived from land animals, whilst the Japanese relies mainly on flsh, in so far, that is, as he consumes animal food. • "Although the consumption of flsh is going up, 'the modern urban peop*le in Japan are inclined to take a simple food of polished rice with some subsidiary diet. . . . This monotony of dietary produces malnutrition, . . . Moreover, it seems to be a chief cause of the increase of beriberi. The growth of population has been approximately proportional to the production of rice. Disease, or a higher rate of mortality, does not seem to follow a poor rice year, but crime does. The present position of Japan is not favorable to cattle-raising on a large scale, but larger batches of flsh might easily be made and something done to use a greater proportion of the total catch for food and less for The problems of a popula-hich has so rapidly altered its the nature of things, BAKE YOUR OWN BREAD ROYAL YEAST CAKES of Quality I for overjoy ears The Angry Moose That Answered Many animals are curious, andl birds, too, for that matter.

VeU eran guides themselves do not understand why a bull moose will so frequently answer the fraudulent call od the birch bark horn in the hands of a) "I've listened to perhaps a hundred moose calling," said a Maine guide recently, "and it seemed to me that no two were exactly alike. Some were short cries, others prolonged waitings. Otbers would slart with a high whine and descend down the. scale. "I was up in the Allegash region late last Fall before the rivers and lakes had frozen up. An old Indian had showed me how to fashion one of the most ingenious birch bark horns for moose calling I had ever seen, and one evening I tried it out. "My cabin was near Five Finger, Brook on the shore of Teal Pond, a small body of water about a half mile across and four or five miles long. i was delighted when I got an answe*| from a long way off, over by the Allegash Mountains.

This may be accomplished in two ways: (1) by the use of building paper, and (2) by th use of wire or metal protectors. The building paper is a very cheap means of protection from the standpoint of material but, as it lasts only the one season, is extravagant of time through the necessity of wrapping the trees each fall. Single-ply white or grey building paper is used. Tar paper may bo used, but is not recommended as there is a possibility of injury to the trees. Tho paper Is cut into strips about six or eight inches wide and the full length of tho roll, which is generally about thirty inches. The paper is wrapped fairly snugly around the trunk of tho tree and tied with binder twine top and bottom. After tying, a little earth is mounded up around the base to prevent rodents working under the paper. This paper is generally removed in tho spring. The other method, the use of wire or metal, is more permanent, more expensive in material, but cheaper in labor, for the metal protectors last for a long period of years. Fine meshed galvanized wire netting is the most lasting material. It is fastened by small pieces of wire and is made large enough to allow for the trunk expanding as the tree grows. Another very satisfactory and cheaper material is made from expanded metal, such as is used in luilding. It is b«tter when both gal Mlnard's Llnin i for Neuritis.
