Western Idea That There la Lack of

together Erroneous.
The view Is assiduously cultivated
In certain circles that the Japanese
press is one mass of self-glorlousness
and that it Is always a unit on great
public questions, but nowhere Is self-
criticism more freely Indulged, and
many as the sands are the variety ot
opinions—very much after our own
home fashion. East and West says.
For Instance, nothing would seem
more a subject for egotism than the
progress of the nation in learning and
science, but long editorials are appear­
ing daily crying out that educational
reform should be the great cry of the
day in Japan. Then the standard of
living is another bone of contention.
Some hold cut for the old standards
that produced the great race capable
of making the history of the last fifty
years, but the Chugwai Shogyo of
Tokyo, after citing European and
American efforts to raise the people's
living standard, says solemnly:
“But, in the Orient, the governed are
considered by the ruling classes as so
much dust. The conditions of living
of the people are neglected. Conse­
quently, the m ajority of them are suf­
fering from difficulties of living. They
are emaciated and sickly frb'o. lack of
nourishment. Since Bismarck’s social
policy was executed, the condition of
the German people has Improved con­
siderably. The value of German labor
has increased. That is a chief cause
of the national strength of the Ger­
man people. In Japan It Is different
The strength of the people for lack of
proper nourishm ent Is decreasing.
How can we expect to win in the
struggle for m astery in the world In
competition with others? The bad
taxes and the excessive Issue of con­
vertible notes are responsible largely
In bringing about this sorry state here.
On the part of the people, they are
rather getting reckless in this expendi­
ture. They make unnecessary ex­
penditure, neglecting to save money
for necessary things. We should dis­
courage as much as possible the habit
of borrowing and not paying back.
Loans for business undertakings are
all right. But loans for extravagant
living should bo discouraged. Some
people shun labor and seek easy liv­
ing. How can they expect to be a
self-governing people? How can we
win in the field of competition under
those circum stances?”
Japan Furnishes Playing Cards.
There are many commodities which
have been exported from Japan for
the first tim e since the beginning of
the war. One of them is playing cards,
for which large orders have been
placed with Japanese makers. The to­
tal value of the orders was estim ated
at a recent date to be in excess of
$7,600,000. Most of these cards have
been consigned to Europe, the greater
part to be used as gifts for soldiers,
while tiie rem ainder are put on the

chants.

Where the Strong Are Weakest.
In view of the deadly inroads of
grippe and pneumonia and the w arn­
ings in this connection issued by the
public health authorities, p. word ad­
dressed especially to the strong and
well may not be amiss. Though seem­
ingly rem arkable, it is a perfectly logi­
cal fact that both grippe and pneu­
monia find their greatest number of
victims among persons who are tr.
normal health. The latter disease, in
fact, seems rather partial to excep­
tionally robust persons, and, in every­
day parlance, the stouter they are the
easier they fall. The reason for this
is simple. Frail persons are accus­
tomed to take extra care of them ­
selves in the knowledge of their weak­
ness and liability to sickness, and thus
escape some of the ills that overtake
the stronger ones. The robust ones,
especially the man who "never had a
sick day in his life,” come to regard
their health as being immune from at­
tack and so expose themselves reck­
lessly. Also they are inclined to in­
difference after having contracted a
cold or even more serious affection,
relying on their usually rugged health
to pull them through.—Pittsburg Ga­
zette Times.
