THE SPARTAN JAPS.
Lnviances of Their Wonderful Endur
ance and Feat of
Strength.
I have said that the Japanese are a
Spartan race, writes Anna N. Ben
jamin, in Ainalee's. Many thing-s be
sides their resistance to cold prove
it. The most of them live in sim
plicity. They can go a long time
without, food. The coolies perform
marvelous feats of strength and en
durance; they draw a "jinrikisha"
all day or carry travelers over the
steepest mountains. Every summer
a colony of foreigners go to Mount
Hei-eizan, near Kioto. Their camp
is several miles up the steep moun
tain side, but early each morning the
Japanese bring up the mail, fresh
vegetables and milk, and women often
carry trunks to the summit on their
heads. In the upper classes the old
"sumarai" ideals inculcated endur
ance, courage and simplicity. A
writer in a recent magazine com
ments upon the seven years' train
ing of the Japanese officer. This is
the preparation of a second lieuten
ant; but it is merely a continuation
under modern methods, of the old
"sumarai" requirements. The fact
that the Japanese is one of the best
soldiers in the world, and one of the
toughest, is not such a great cause
for wonder, because it is not the out
come of western military training
of modernization for the seeds of
the western methods were sown on a
long-cultivated Spartan soil. The
learning of new military tactics and
the adoption of up-to-date weapons
may be likened to placing new ma
chinery in an old mill which depends
for power on a great water fall. The i
new machinery provides no power j
in itself.

"Some enterprising- dealer in canned
goods could make a small fortune,"
said a visiting- lumberman, reports
the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
"by sroing- into the northwest and
putting- up tree ants as a condiment.
Xo, I'm not joking-, " he continued,
"and whatV more, the product would
need no introduction to the people
of that region. All through the lum
ber districts of Minnesota and "Wis
consin ants are regarded as a great
delicacy, and the only trouble is that
they can't g-et enough of them. I
don't know why it is, but men who do
hard manual labor in cold climates
acquire a strong craving- for something-
sour, and the big. brawny
choppers and teamsters found out
long aero that ants were a palatable
substitute for pickles. They ue only
a peculiar variety, large and red in
color and found in immense quanti
ties under the bark of dead trees.
It is not very hard to collect a quart
pail full, and after killing them by
scalding they are spread on a board
and dned in the sun. When ready to
eat they look like coarse, brown pow
der and have a very agreeable, aro
matic smell.
"Of course, it is impossible to de
scribe exactly how they taste, but
the general flavor would remind you
of some fine fruit vinegar, and if you
have any squeamishness over the na
ture of the dish it doesn't Take you
long to forger it. I can't see, how
ever, why there should be any objec
tion to dried ants as a table delicacy.
They are perfectly clean and certain
ly as attractive as snails or shrimps."

Old Ben, an ambulance horse, who

Sprays, yv'ashes, powders, salves, medicated
tobacco and cigarettes, however long and persistently
used, do not cure Catarrh. They relieve temporarily
the inflammation in the throat and nose, and 'enable
you to breathe more easily and freely, but the con
tinual rush of impure blood to these parts keeps up
the irritation and ultimately produces ulceration of
the glands, when the breath becomes exceedingly
c (Tensive and the soft bones of the nose are frequently
destroyed. The catarrhal inflammation extends .ivpr
the entire surface of the mucous membrane, or intipr fit-in the ctnmQoti l'n0re
ami lungs are citen invoiveu ; the whole system soon-becomes affected by the rapid
absorption or poisonous matter into the blood, and the disease that you bad hoped
to cure with simple local remedies, assumes a dangerous form.
I had Catarrh so bad was entirely
deaf in one ear, and all the inside
of my nose and part of the hone
slouched off. The physicians gave
me up as incurable. I determined to
tr2 S. S. S., and began to improve at
once. It seemed to g-et at the seat of
the disease, and after a few weeks'
treatment I was entirely cured, and
for more than seven years have had
no Sifrn of t.hfi diseasfi. MRS. JOSE.

I had Catarrh about 15 years, and
tried cVurins" the time everything-1 could
hear of, but nothing- did me any g-ood.
At last "I came to tho conclusion that
Catarrh must be a blocd disease, and
decided to give S. S. S. a trial. I could
see a littls improvement from the first
boztie, and continued it three or four
months, or until I vras cured. Have
not taken anything- for six years, and
am just as well as I ever was. 21. MAT
SON, Lapeer, Mich.
Catarrh is a constitutional disease a blood disease which is frequently
inherited, and only a blood medicine, such as S. S. S., can remove the hereditary
taint, destroy the poisons that have been accumulating in the system for years
perhaps, and restore the blood to a healthy and pure condition. The inflamed
membranes and diseased glands are healed by the rich, Dure blood which is carried
to them, and the offensive discharges from tfie nose, and the terrible headache and
neuralgic pains cease. Chronic cases of the most desperate character and apparent
ly hopeless, have been cured completely and permanently by the use of S. S. S.
