TUESDAY EVENING, HISTORIC R ACE OF AINOS DYING OUT Ancient Tribe of Northern Japan Slowly Becom ing Extinct Tokio, Feb. 20.—Investigators call attention to the fact that the historic race of the Ainos, the aborigines of Northern Japan, is slowly dying out It is estimated that these residents of Hokkaido, the most northerly of the ! islands making up the Japaneee Empire, are now no more than 20,000. The Ainos, a dark, picturesque ueo ple, livo In groups of twenty to forty | houses in scattered districts on the island. In spite of ceaseless efforts on the part of the central government and each prefectural government in I their behalf, which give them allotted portions of land, provide them with a habitation, give them instructions in farming and furnish them with nec essary education, they nevertheless show no sign of benefiting from the care taken of them. Japanese writ ers term them an indolent, improvi dent race and declare that both men and women are addicted to drinking and appear to regard anything done , for their benefit as a nuisance. Women Very Industrious. 1 The male Ainos pass their time in hunting and fishing. The women are described as more Industrious. Bear hunting is the great occupation of the men but the bears, like the Ainos themselves, are becoming fewer. The men have dark hair and long, thick beards. Hair is sacred to them. HARRISBURG J TELEGRAPH Their faces are usually tattoed. The "Bear. Festival," as It is called, consists of the offering of a slaugh tered young bear as a sacrifice to the gods. The animal is nurtured for about five years for this specific pur pose. On the occasion of the sacrifice the men and women Join in grand banquets and merry-making. The Atnos like many other primitive peo ple, worship the sun. SAVING I'APEK. It has been said that the best way to save money is not to spend it, and| users of paper are adopting similar means to prevent waste of this rapid ly appreciating commodity. Depart ment stores and mall-order houses In many of the cities have found it poj sible to use less paper In wrapping packages without decreasing in any degree the protection of tt* content*. Grocers have found it possible to use much less paper, or to put it another way, to put up more goods in tho paper they did use, one element of ■ waste which has been eliminated be ing the wrapping of boxes which are already weather tight. The school board of New York City has found it hard to secure the usual pads of "scratch" paper for the 800,000 school children of the city. It has been reported as considering a return to slates. People are urged to keep paper instead of burning it, but as yet we have not seen a practical sug r gestlon as to how this paper is to be profitably collected and returned to the channels of industry.—The Chris • tian Herald. . CONFUCIANISM MOVEMENT FAILS i Peking, Feb. 20.—Efforts to make Confucianism the state religion of : China have again failed. Parliament ' recently cast a vote on the question of recognizing Confucianism as the offic ial religion In the proposed new con stitution, and the measure was lost i by a vote of 264 to 255. FEBRUARY 20, 1917. NEW TREES AND PLANTS FOR U. S. Many Foreign Varieties Now Being Tested in Plant Intro duction Gardens Washington, D. C., Feb. 21.—A wide variety of promising foreign plants ure now being propagated and tested by the government in the plant introduction gardens maintained by the United States Department of Ag riculture in Florida California, Wash ington and Maryland. These gardens may be called the "Ellis Islands" of the plant immigra tion service. In them the plant im migrants are carefully studied in or der to make sure that they carry with i them no disease, and only those which are known to be desirable ad ditions are permitted to make a home in this country. The plants which have successfully passed this scrutiny are distributed to the State experi ment stations and to thousands of experimenters and breeders through out the country. At the present time says an article by P. H. Dorsett in the 1916 Year book of the Department much atten tion is being bestowed upon recent importations from China. Among these are the jujube. This, it is said, may well prove commercially profit able in California and the semi-arid South and Southwest. When pre pared with cane sugar, jujubes have as delicate a flavor as many dates. It is also a very good fresh fruit and has long been popular in China. Chinese Pis tax-lie. The Chinese pistache is another importation which has been suggest ed for use as an avenue tree. Thou sands of young trees have been dis tributed to parks throughout the country for this purpose. One ad vantage of this tree is the great age to which it lives. For the production of nuts the variety of pistache found in central and western Asia is being tried. At present the entire supply of the nuts used in the coloring and flavoring of Ice cream and candy comes from abroad but it is said that there is no reason why this country should not grow its own supply. The Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys in California appear to be well suited to the industry. oejuthe nns o'n ss 5 k cation shr Chinese persimmons and Chinese chestnuts are also being tested. It is believed that the Chinese chestnut may prove exceptionally valuable be cause of its power to resist the chest nut bark disease which Is doing so much damage among the native chestnuts. The persimmon It Is thought might be grown commer cially in California and in those sec tions in the South where the tem perature does not fall much below zero. In China and Japan dried per simmons are a staple food and there seems to be no reason why they should not be eaten largely in the fu ture In this country. Still another importation is an early sweet cherry which has been Introduced from Tanghsi China. This may prove profitable to growers as an early cherry for the eastern markets. A number of new vegetables, too, are now being tested in the plant In troduction gardens. Among these are the chayo.te from tropical America. This vine produces pear-shaped fruit in abundance in the fall. They some what resemble in flavor summer squash or vegetable marrow, and may be used as a fresh vegetable throughout the winter. The udo is a new salad plant from Japan that may be grown in practi cally every State. This Is grown In much the same way as asparagus and may be cooked as well in the same way. A few plants of udo, says the article, should be in every home gar den. News Items of Interest in Central Pennsylvania Cliambersburg.—Raymond Long, 28 years old.

Dublin, February 20.—"Trade in all departments of Ireland's indus trial life is so active and prosperous that it is difficult at times to realize in this favored island that we are In the middle of Ihe third year of a crreat war." savs Robert Colvill, presi dent of the Bank of Ireland, in his nnnual report on banking and Indus trial conditions. He adds: "The flax industry of the North is prosperous, and the exports of Irish linen for the past year were two mil lion pounds sterling more in value than in the preceding year. Ship building has also been carried on with energy, and our main industry, agriculture, is very prosperous. The nrices for cattle, horses and all ordi nary live stock have been extraordi narily high, while the prices of oats, barley and wheat have been more than double the normal." ENGLAND. London, Feb. 20.—The huge amount of money which seems to he available for the purchase of works of art in England at the present time is attracting the attention of treasury officials. Competition for works of first, secondary and minor masters is keen with values soaring in price. A large proportion of the purchases are known to have been made on behalf of America but in expert quarters it is believed that quite a proportion of the buyinsr 's being done on German account. Belief is expressed that from funds remaining in neutral lands, and even In this country, Germans are anxious to make an innvestment ill works of art which can remain here for realization after the war.

INSURING NEXT SEASON'S SUCESS a Lime Dressing in Winter Best- Safe Plan Out lined What will assure the chances of clover to be sown in the wheat field Jin spring? Clover is so difficult to | secure that the full benefit of every j factor contributing to favor ita | growth must be taken advantage of. That some form of lime is needed is [a matter of course. The question ss, ; whether mere sweetening of the soil Is sufficient. If so, an application j shortly previous to seeding, in the j customary manner, will do. But sweetening is only half the benefit or liming. Given time for action, It lib erates potash from insolublo com binations in the soil. While nitrates stimulate the growth of true grasses, potash is the essential element of success for '.ho clovers. To reduce the amount or escape the cost of this expensive fer tilizer, a vigorously acting form of lime, given time to work, will cut the bill. This means winter liming of the wheat field. Is there any danger in this? To this Professor A. E. Gran tham, ugronomist of the Delaware Agricultural College, says: "There is no danger in top-dress ing the wheat during the winter with freshly slaked lime, providing the ground is frozen or when plants are dry." The agronomist is strongly sup ported by the Ohio practice. Mr. Clarence M. Baker, a competent ob server, writes: "Even where wheat has been sown and fertilized heavily, winter liming is being practiced. After the wheat is up and when tho ground is not'soft, lime can be ap plied and allowed to work In with al ternate freezings and thawings. Such a practice is being followed in many sections of Ohio." MRS. VIERING HAD GONE TO PIECES Health Was So Broken By Stomach Trouble She Couldn't Eat or Sleep TANLAC HELPED HER "I suffered such intense pain from the terrible condition my stomach was in, that time after time 1 had to have hypodermic injections In order to get temporary relief," says Mrs. Ida M.

Gas woU*J form continually in my stomach and intestines and the pain that it woulfc cause was so awful that It was beyond human endurance." "I had tried a great many remedies in hopes of finding one that would re lieve this condition, but I was unsuc cessful until I started taking Tanlac on the advice of a friend." "From that day on my health has been steadily improving until to-day I can truthfully say that, thanks to Tanlac, I am entirely recovered." "All that trouble In my stomach has been corrected, the pains are all gone und I feel Just fine. Tanlac la a won derful medicine for If it could relieve my stomach trouble I am sure that it will help anybody." Tanlac, the famous reconstrucUve tonic, is now being introduced here at Gorgas' Drug Store, where the Tanlac man Is meeting the people and explain ing the merits of this master medicine.
