Where Health is Fashionable. Just now, while the military pro-. tess and general staying power of he Japanese are claiming the atten ion and respect of the civilized world, tis of great interest to note the laims made, by those who know best, s to thei: advanced attitude toward he whole acestion of hygiene and hysical development. We of the rest are all too apt to take it for ranted that we stand in the advanc d guard of all evolution, and it has ecome the custom of late years to nlighten the laity by~ word and pen in their duty to their physiques. {-alth is the fashion, and its rules .re published broadcast. Now we re told that in Japan health is not inly the fashion-it is the universal abit. The Japanese people not only :now the rules that govern it, but 11 classes untirinly practice them. They are the same old rules-we ave them all at our tongues' ends~ reathe deeply and slowly of fresh ir, bathe regularly, eat moderately, rink plenty of fresh water. We all no themm, we11l resect them, but most of us ignore them, except by its and starts. With the Japanese the case is dif ferent. They are naturally an ab stemious people and not great meat eaters. They have always laid great stress on the value of large quanti ties of pure water to flush the sys tem and keep the kidneys in good :ondition, and they are probably 'he most inveterate bathers in the world. As to their muscular devel >pment and control, they are fam >us, and last, but not least, they >lace great weight on the importance )f cultivating and practicing all the :ime the fundamental principles of lygiene. They are today pitted against a luge and powerful nation, and are Ainning victory after victory over :heir adversaries, not because they )utnumber them, not because they ire bigger. but largely because their )odies are trained to endurance and heir minds to patience and fore ight. The western nations are begining o learn the lesson they teach-to )ractice with patient persistence those aws of health that have been taught o often. The jiu-jitsu, the system )f body-training practiced by the apanese for centuries, is the loun lation of many modern treatises on >hysical culture. Couth's Companion. FOR SALE. I will sell at the H.
