ORIENTAL HEALTH COUNSEL.
THOSE forehanded folk, the Japanese, have a government which looks
after thorn keenly and here are its official health rules:
1. Upend as much time out of doors as possible. Bask much in the
sun and take plenty of exercise. Take care that your respiration is al
ways doep and regular.
2. As regards meals, oat meat only once a day, and let the diet be eggs,
coroals and vegetables, fruits and fresh cows' milk. Take the last-named as
much as possible. Masticate your foodcarefully.
3. Take a hot bath every day, and a steam bath once or twice a week if
the heart is strong enough to bear it.
4. Early to bed and early to rise. (
5. Sloop In a very dark and very quiet room, with windows open. Let
the minimum of sleeping hours be six or six and one-half hours, In case of
women eight and one-half hours is advisable
6. Take one day of absolute rest each week in which you must refrain
from even reading or writing.
7. Try to avoid any outbursts of passion and strong mental stimulations.
Do not tax your brain at the occurrence of inevitable incidents or coming
events. Do not say unpleasant thingsnor listen, if possible to avoid it, to
disagreeable things.
8. Bo married. Widows and widowers should be married with the least
possible delay.
9. Be moderate in the consumption of even tea and coffee, not to say to
bacco and alcoholic beverages.
10. Avoid places that are too warm, especially steam Seated and badly
ventilated rooms. I
A POPULAR AMUSEMENT.
IT IS only a few years since tho first moving-picture shows were presented
to the public, but they at onoo becamo popular, and have steadily bocomo
moro so. Nor has tho limit been reached, for they aro still growing in pop
ularity, i This Is evidenced by the report of the business done in tho
United States by these shows during 'the year 11H2. A million dollars is
a big sum, ono that is practically beyond comprehension unless put in somo
tangiblo form, With a wngo of $1 a day it would take a man .100 years to
earn a million dollars and at a 'day it would require 100 years' steady work
to earn that sum. It would mean an income of )100 a day for ,10 years. This
looks like a pretty large sum to spend for picturo shows in a Ji'sr, but that
is only a small part of what wns spout in that way in this country InVt year.
The amount spent for this amusement In that time was $100,000,000.
At 5 cents a show this would give an atteudance of 8,000,000,000, or an
average of 80 visits and H per head for every n on woman and child in the
United States. It would require that each person attend about 80 ihows a
year, and as many do not go there must be some who get there much oftoner
than that. It also gives one an idea of the magnitude of the country, and
the unlinjted resources it must have te permit such an expenditure. If Japan
or any other nation should think seriously of starting trouble with this coun
try, they might get a good hunch by reading the statistics of our moving
picture shows. It would give them an idea as to tho amount of coin this coun
try could dig up in case of war,
Japan is struggling under a debt of a million and a half dollars, which
seems almost a hopeless debt to her, yet what we send for picture shows alone
would In three years pay off her entire debt. And while this was being done
the great American hen would lay eggs enough to pay another like it. Let
the American hen get busy and tho sum now spent in moving-picture shows be
diverted to war purposes and the two sums would maintain an army of 200,000
and a pretty good sized navy along with it. Just digest this statement, and
then make an estimate of what the eminry could do if it woke up and really
tried to raise money to repel a foetgn invader.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with the mntter of the "movjos,"
and they have nothing to do with war other than to possibly show us some
of the scenes, hut they tell us of our own exhnustless resources iust the same.
They are growing In popularity all the lime, and when tho "talking movies"
a onoo installed, which will happen soon, there will bo a slill greater popu
larity for them. As It is they aro doing things to tho theatrical profession,
and for tho public, for they are taking a huge number of low-grade theatrical
companies off the road, and in that way are doing gonuiuo good work for a
long suffering public,
THE SOURCE OP POWER FOR THE TUTURB.
S0IKNTIHT8 see in the tot very distant future the exhaustion of the
world's conl and fuel supply, tho time when, unless some source of sup
ply now unknown is found, the world will be without either artificial
heat or light. This mailer has already caused considerable Investigation
and comtucut as to what can be done, and the water power and the tides
am said to be about nM there Is in sight in this line, except always the power
that may be generated from the heat of tho sun.
It is it-toroxilng in this connection to note what the savants nre doing
nlnng this 'inc. Ono uiggests that radium would settle tho difficulty, and it
no doubt would, but the trouble Is that radium Is rather scarce, ono scientist
saying that it Is doubtful If the world will ever produce more than half an
ounce of radium in a year; not a very large quantity to look forward to as a
source of power or heat. These same Scientists assure us that the encgy con
tained In one ton of radium would equal that produced by the combustion of
1, .100,000 tons of conl. There is evidently no hope of relief from this source,
but (hero may be from similar source.
Science Is convinced that other materials coutnin this same energy, They
say that tho calcium in gypsum, and the sodium In. common salt contain this
same principle, and that from these and possibly others, power in quantity will
some day be produced.
The ovldi'iico of tho wonderful atomic energies in the common elements
of everyday material is rapidly accumu lating, and scientists are of the opinion
. . . i -t V A
that perhaps these same discoveries may in time alter the wnoie iuiuro w
human race. In this connection it might be. profitable to inquire into the uni
versal demand of not only the human family, but of all brute creation for
salt. While that material has always been looked upon as a condiment, rath
er than as a necessity, may it not be that it contains in its latent energy,
such as is suggested by the scientists, some element necessary to health! May
it not be that in this immaterial everyday substance, there is an element of
life-giving or life-sustaining quality that is really material! If not why the
universal demand for it in its food by the human family! Why the demand
for it by all animals! Undoubtedly the world must look to the chemistB for
much in the near future, and heat and power are two of the necessities that
they must provide for the world's use, and while they are looking into this
what wonderful discoveries are possible.

UNITED FIIBHS LKAHKD Wins.
New York, July 21. Docb marriage
and motherhood interefere with wo
man's efficiency as a public school
teacher! That is the question a world of eoodr
now agitating the New York board of :
education, and many civic bodies
throughout the Greater City have
taken the problem up. The question
has become such a burning issue that
the other day 150 men and women,
teachers, lawyers, writers and ac
tresses, formed themselves into a
League for the Civic Service of Wom
en, which will in the fall begin an ac
tive campaign in tho interests of mar
ried women teachers.
The argument started when Mrs.
Katherine C. Edgell, a member of the
Erasmus High School faculty, formally
applied to the board of education for
a year's leave of absence without pay
for the purpose of bearing and rearing
a chid. The board, after considerable
debate and deliberation, refused Mrs.
Edgell's lequest.
The newspapers and periodicals got
hold of the scory and gave it much
space, arousing discussion throughout
the city. Fuel was added to tho flnme
when Mrs! Bridget C, Peixotto, a
Hronx teacher, was suspended indefi
Just thing of what we had to do to
reduce our avoirdupois before the tan
go came along. We went through all
sorts of tiresome, unattractive exer
cises at heme alone or else in the
gymnasium where we wore an ngly,
uncomfortable suit. But now it is all
different. The tango has banished
rolling and all the other tiresome and
inefficient flesh cures and gives ns
grace and enjoyment at the same
time.
"That is why it is here to stay.
It? is the very best kind of exercise,
and it is amusing as well. It is the
very best way that has yet been dis
covered to reduce the hips and remove
tho double chin." And then the dev
otee will proceed to
point.
"Now watch. One, two, three, turn
one, two, three, dip that's the one.
See! The entire weight is placed on
the right leg. .The knee is bent while
the left foot is' pointed straight out
in front to balance the body, with the
head and trunk thrown back. Now

the place of all those monotonous
bending exercises the calesthenic
teachers used to give us! And does
not tossing back the head take the
double chin away! No need of chin
supporters or ice bandages if you

So! The 1913 society slogan there
fore must be: "Reduce. Dip, reverse
with a quick twist and reverso again
with a dip. Reduce."

Twenty married teachers attended
the meeting at the Hotel Astor, where
the League fort he Civic Service of
Women was launched and the move
ment was indorsed by the New Math
ers' Club and the Women Lawyers'
Club. For many years there have been
married women employed in the public
schools of Now York, and from time
t time they have dropped out on sick
leave and havo become mothers. The
question never became a public one
until Mrs. Edgell made formal appli
cation to tho board for a year's leave
of absence, giving as her reason her
wish to become a mother. Members
of the board who opposed Mrs, Ed
gell's request for a motherhood vaca
tion, defend theiraction by saying that
they do not approve of married wom
en as teachers. They have no objec
tion, defend their action by saying that
that matrimony lowers the efficiency
of women ns teachers. When they
have homo and husband and children,
it was argued, the teachers cannot give
their undivided attention to their pu
pils and their school duties.
As mi a.lditonal argument, they point
out that the home is the place for tho
married woman and that she has no
bnsinesa out in the world working
when she has a teacher's job, when
there are so many single and depend
cut women who are forced to support
temselves and who would make capable
school teachers.
Those who have taken up the cudgel
for Mrs. Edgell and tho other married
teachers, say t lust the attitude of the
board of education is inimical to soci
ety and encouraging to race suicide.
They also declare that married women
nniuraiiy maas me nest teachers, since
by the fuller experience In ilife thev
are better fitted to teach young girls
or hoys and train them for normal,
happy lives.
Tango enthusiasts are putting up a
new argument for the permanence of

round of the hotel ball rooms, res
taurants and by the ses dancing pa

a charming debutante or an equally
charming young matron who advance
the new reason. The devotees of the
tango, and especially the proprietors
of the places where it flourishes have

Tho woman movement, which ap
pears in the nature of an uprising all
over the world, is delivered by many1
to make a turn in tho tido ol history.
The feature most apparent is the
masculine helplessness in front of it.
There are a few Mrs. Tartingtons of
the male variety, but not many.
A few gentlemen are sitting in the
middle of the road "cussin," but most
of the gentlemen are waiting to see the
procession in a quizzical frame of
mind.
The air will clear before tho mascu
line mind somewhat when men under
stand that tho woman movement is a
wider and deeper matter than the wo
man suffrage movement. Most men and
many women confound them.
Tho noisy agitation of tho suffra
egette is really an embarrassment to
those profound exponents of feminism
who fear the neglect of tho larger
causes of the female advance through
overemphasis on ono of its phases.
Some pronounced feminists have ven
tured to question whether the agitation
for votes for women should not be post
poned until the woman movement shall
have reached its second stage.
The real movement, however, will
not suffer serious arrest, through the
excessive suffrngism of tho hour. It
will rather bo promoted h"y the divi
sions it is provoking in the ranks of
tho women themselves.
The women who are zealously organ
ized against votes for women are mere
ly feminists in contra action and their
influence is manifestly stimulating to
the consciousness of female selfhood,
which is the mainspring of the woman
movement.
When the opportunity of tho ballot
is accorded to women, as it will be.
tho main object of their movement will
only he in process of achievement.
What women really desire is the remov
al of the arbitrary fixouioss of wo
man's sphere.
The protest Is not against tho nn
kindness of man, but against the as
sumption thnl she is ordained to he a
creature of patronage. Tt is not
against a rough amb-crucl boss she re
volts, but against the Idea of having
a boss at nil.
The woman movement aims for the
n-veling of the sexes. It is the uprising
of personality. It j, ,), ohnlU-nRO of
a benevolent despotism.
The situation of woman as to com
fort is fair enough. It i, tn(, attitude
of the socin) mind which regards her
i a sexual son equal that is the trouble.

Not the least important considera

the largest circulation of any paper
