POTENT LIQUOR IS SAKE
Lafcadio Hearns Testimony as to
Strength of Japanese Wine
There is no liquor in the world upon
which a man becomes so quickly in
toxicated as Japanese sake rice
wine and yet none of which the ef
fects last so short a time The in
toxication is pleasant as the effect oi
opium or hasheesh It is soft pleas
ant luminous exhilaration everything
becoming brighter happier lighter
then you get very sleepy
At Japanese dinners it is the rule t8
become slightly exhilarated but not tc
drink enough to talk thickly or walk
crooked The ability to drink at ban
quets requires practice long practice
There are banquets of many kinds
and the man who is invited to one at
which extensive drinking may be ex
pected is careful to start in upon an
empty or almost empty stomach By
not eating one can drink a good deal
The cups are very small and vS many
curious shapes One may be expected
to empty 50 A quart of sake is a good
deal two quarts require iron nerves
to stand But among the Japanese
there are wonderful drinkers At a
military officers banquet a captain
offered me a tumbler holding a good
pint of sake I almost fainted at the
sight of it for it was only the first
But a friend said to me Only drink
a little and pass it back which I did
Stronger heads emptied cup after cup
like water Letters of Lafcadio
Kearn
It is great folly not to part with
your own faults which is possible
but to try instead to escape from
other peoples faults which is impos
sible Marcus Aurelius
A cheerful lie is often better than
the solemn truth
MAY BE COFFEE
That Causes all the Trouble
When the house is afire its like a
body when disease begins to show its
no time to talk but time to act delay
is dangerous remove the cause of the
trouble at once
For a number of years says a
Kansas lady I felt sure that coffee
was hurting me and yet I was so fond
of it I could not give it up I paltered
with my appetite and of course yield
ed to the temptation to drink more
At last I got so bad that I made up my
mind I must either quit the use of cof
fee or die
Everything I ate distressed me and
I suffered severely almost all the time
with palpitation of tfie heart I fre
quently woke up in the night with the
feeling that I was almost gone my
heart seemed so smothered and weak
in its action that I feared it would stop
beating My breath grew short and
the least exertion set me to panting I
slept but little and suffered from rheu
matism
Two years ago I stopped using the
old kind of coffee and began to use
Postum Food Coffee and from the
very first I began to improve It
worked a miracle Now I can eat any
thing and digest it without trouble I
sleep like a baby and my heart beats
full strong and easily My breathing
has become steady and normal and
my rheumatism has left me I feel
like another person and it is all due
to quitting coffee and using Postum
Food Coffee for I havent used any
medicine and none would have done
any good as long as I kept drugging
with coffee Name gfven by Postum

WHERE PEOPLE
BELIEVE li S8SENS
Washington self admitted center oi
culture and enlightenment looks upon
superstition as a form of devil worship
that vanished with witch burning Yet
within two hours ride of the capito
are communities that despite public
schools and church choir factions and
problems and things are as deeply
saturated with superstition as the
scholarly bats that flitted through the
intellectual twilight of the middle
ages
In the upper reaches of the Virginia
counties that flank the Blue Ridge on
the east and climb the mountain
shoulders until they look down ovei
the summit into the Shenandoah val
ley the daily life of the hill dweller
is hedged in with countless signs and
omens all portents of evil Through
them he walks gingerly fearful lest in
propitiating one genius of disaster ho
offend against another
A religious and church going folk
are these on Sunday The rest of the
week they devote to keeping out of
the clutches of bad luck the modern
form of that disagreeable and uncom
fortable old god of the Zidonians Baal
who visited them with dire and orig
inal punishments when he didnt get
his regular allowance of broiled baby
They dont broil babies these latter
day worshipers but they keep them
selves in perpetual hot water

an er durned whippowill set on ther
horse block an hollered las night tel
I clodded him off Yer know what
that means
Whipporwills that the ignorant may
know as much as Hance mean early
and sudden death For years they had
made that block a rendezvous for their
nightly chorals while the family re
mained healthy as hostlers But it
shook not the old mans belief in the
faith of his fathers The doctor was
hurriedly fetched only to find ma re
covered as peart as a cricket
Dont yer put that sassafras wood
in ther kitchen fire cried the old
lady to her helping hand one day a
12-year-old girl as yet unlearned in
the lore of the hills Every single
cow on ther place 11 go dry ef yer do
Go an put it in pas fire
A listening city man wondered at
this fine distinction
Law chile sagely explained the
old lady its jes puttin sassafras in
ther kitchen fire what makes cows go
dry it don make no diffunce in no
other fire Why when I wuz er gal
overn Rappahannock and wise
saws and ancient instances were copi
ously cited to sustain the theory of
interrelation of sassafras kitchen fire
and cow
Sometimes they hit it One day the
city man bent on a little exercise in
wood chopping strolled through the
house with an ax a shoulder
Git outer hyah ith that roared
the old man in pallid terror Dont
yer know its ther wors luck in ther
worl ter tote er ax thro er house
What yer thinkin bout anyhow
An hour later as the city man ap
proached the dwelling his ears were
flooded with a torrent of high treble
recriminations mingled with a deep
flow of apologies They gushed from
the door and window The city man
betook himself back to the placid for
est where he abode until the gusty
Niagara had subsided As he emerged
the old man met him
I knowed yerd make trouble ith
thet air ax he said accusingly Yer
hadnt got fer ez ther barn fo ther
old oman foun er jug er moonshine

off las Crismas fer er year Let this

The city man began to believe there
was something in it
Peacocks wont stay ith us ex
plained the old lady when the city man
suggested them as an ornament to the
velvety blue grass lawn They wont

til we los that law suit ith ther
Cyarters an got po Ther very nex

men hold it is worse to drink whiskey

make a man twice as drunk and twice

So it is sinrfHy a question for dialecti

That fool put em on ther barn on

is however in general appearance
only that they compare with Allcocks
