Japan's Best Interpreter a Westerner I-oveiB of the rare ireniua of I.nf- cadio Ilcarn will be irlad to know of tho recent issue of a little book of reminiscences of his life In Japan by hit- wife, Setauko Koizumi. Thu ten der and humorous delineation of his poignant sensitiveness, his love of beauty, his child-like joy in playinic with his children, explains most con vincingly why Ilcarn, half-Irish, half Orcik, should, after many adventures i.i many lands, at last have found home and happiness in Japan. Anil now that Japan is of such in tense and immediate interest to the United States, new interest will doubt less be uiven to the works of Ilcarn, the most sympathetic interpreter of Jnpnn to the western world. "Japan; An Attempt at Interpreta tion" is a serious study of Japanese life, character, politics and religion. Hut the little stories, essays and sketches scattered through the other volumes nre no less illuminating. No superficial attempt to Judge the standards of thu cast by thoao of the west enn give, any real insight into the workings of Japanese or Chinese minds. Ilearh, who lived so many years among the Japanese, who taught Krglish literature to hundreds of Jap anese school and college students, did perhaps more than anyone else sinking passenger and hospital ships,1 secret agreements with the Irish nnd' the Flemish, the smuggling of exp)o- wives, discuse bacilli and incendiary in-j strurnents into neutral countries and. everywhere bribery, fraud and theft." All this, he says, Is but a part of i the account the allies have to present, to Germany. The Germans must ac knowledge its justice, in all i-articu-: lars where it is just, instead ot crying out defiantly against it. They must also do their best to convince tho world of the honesty of their revolu tionary movement, which so many for eigners regard as a fraud, and to per suade the allies that Germany really places her hopes on the abandonment of militaristic ambitions and the ere tion of n world of pence, This, indeed, Is the way of salvation for the German people, and the only jway. Rescuine Fish in Iowa Brings Big Returns The headline "Millions of Fish Are Paved in Iowa" arrests the attention. That state is not ordinarily famed for its fish industry. Nevertheless, It is reported that more than 17,000,000 fish hawo been saved through the United States Fish rescue stations, in Iowa alone, since tho month of August. During the highwatcr seasons of the Mississippi grent numbers of fish go Into quiet waters out of the main channel to spawn. As the floods abate and the dry season advances, these fish nro left in landlocked pools nnd ponds. They have.no means of egress to running wnter. They become more and more crowded as the pools grow smaller, and those that survived the other difficulties would freeze t'i death in the winter if they were not rescued. The rescue crews seine thu fish and transfer them to running streams. Some of them have neen used to re- Startling Reductions on all women's suits; coats and dresses.

Married life Is a game of questions nod answer. It's the wise- man who es!:s few questions, nnd a wiser one who gives brief answers. The people who don't work believe labor to be the salvation of the rest of us. Matrimony Is that part of life In-ol-'nted on love's map as the horrid zone.

Before using this preparation for a cough or cold you may wish to know what it has done for others. Mrs. O.

Knott, Chillicothe, Mo., says "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy cannot be beat for coughs and colds.J II. J. Moore, Oval, Pa., says "I have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy on sev eral occasions when I was suffering with a settled cold upon the chest anil it has always brought about a cure." Adv.
