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.

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.

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."

Health Was So Broken By Stomach
Trouble She Couldn't Eat

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.
Vlerlng, of 126 Linden St., Harris
burg, Pa.
"I had all gone to pieces and I was
on the verge of a total collapse'for I
couldn't either eat or sleep. 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
